It's been a seriously long weekend in the N13 Alpha base, I finally pulled myself away from building with Glyos, just long enough to get to get on with some models I've been "working on" for weeks...
All 3 of these are still very much in the "Work in progress" stage, but I'm very happy with how they are coming along.
Work in Progress 1: AKA Zombie "Old One" Munny
This is my first attempt at creating an all over skin, I wanted a Haggard look that could be either fine scales or Rotting tissue... A bizzarre combination, but I'm pleased with how it's turned out! Sadly in my haste to snap some photos of it, he managed to take a small (...6ft...) tumble and suffered some pretty major damage including the loss of an arm. He's mostly been put back together and will be re-united with his arm after the Modeling Clay skin is fully dried.
Work in Prgress 2: AKA K13
This is a Custom I've been trying to start for a looong time. I've started with some basic head additions, but intend to carry on around his body to make him slightly fatter, and give him an "all in one" body suit. The figure I've used as a base is a "Kelien" created by an awesome guy, Kel (Check his stuff out! Twitter Website) I actually have a few of his creatures, pictured below, including a Customised Fa'Tic.
Work in Progress 3: AKA Scar Kubrik
This is an Awesome custom Kubrik head that I recieved recently from Ralph on OctoberToys In an order of his custom Glyos figures (Also Awesome!). He was kind enough to even include an extra Kubrik for the little guy to be formed with. So obviously the first thing I did was try to sculpt him a Pheyden style body that would do him justice! Now I just need to finish of the colour scheme... I'm thinking Black and Red Apokalypse style!
Ralph is an awesome Artists and sculpter, the art cards he included in my order really blew me away! You can check out his stuff here: Ralphs customs To show you the level of awesome Ralph comes out with, just look at the package my Scar Kubrik came in! He even customized the box, Seriously dudes, Awesome!
No doubt there will be updates as these figures progress, so far I'm chuffed with how they are coming along, what do you all reckon?

The Evolution of SD Glyos...
As most people know, I adore toys, especially small monstrous/alien looking figures. This love has introduced me to many different things over the last few years. The two most prolific things it's introduced me too have got to be The God Beast and Glyos.
The God Beast is an Artist that has been creating and re-producing custom figures for years, and has two very talented sons that have sculpted there own set of mini-figures. TGB and his Son's work is some of my most prized:
Glyos... well what can I say, anyone that allready knows of these guys, knows how addictively awesome they are! Anyone that hasn't held these guys in there hands... Well all I can say is go get some!
So... When I found out that TGB was casting some Glyos compatible figures, I tripped over myself trying to get hold of some! Luckily, TGB being the awesome guy he is, hooked me up with exactly what I was after!
As you can see, quite an awesome set of SD figures! Now... Apparently they are Glyos compatible... That means it's building time!
First off, lets try making some Alternate arms for the SD guys. I found the angle of the arm holes made it slightly difficult to put in normal glyos pieces, but I got there in the end...
I like this little guy, but what I really want is someone taller with more building potential....
...Hey Presto!
Hmmm He needs bigger/bulkier arms...
Now that's a Phanost!
In my opinion these guys really capture the super deformed style while still keeping the Glyos Feel and Play-ability.
A huge thumbs up from me!
