    Ive got the same on mine and I quite like em, afterall she's not a girly girl

    Superb job m8 its definitely a clothes set you can easily associate with Carter is it a CY girl body ? as its very Carter proportionate, does the sunohc carter sculpt come with a neck ? or do we have to mod it ?

    how did you create your stand ? its the dogs dangly bits ?

      Based on the in-hand pics it appears as though she has a neck, perhaps the commissioner's preference. If thats the case its going to be a pain hollowing it out but oh well.

      Hot Toys body for Sam and the stand idea I borrowed from the Sideshow forum. Not as nice as his but quick and easy. Just printed it up on full-sheet sticker paper. I can post the template if anyone would like it.

      Rope climbing's the reason I got bronze instead of silver in the ParticipACTION programme.

        I'm not sure if there is any interest in 1/18 scale (4 inch) Stargate custom figures, but I've made a few. I'm currently working with a person who makes "shrunken" head casts. He takes the 6" figures heads, makes a mold and uses a shrinking compound to make 1/18 scale heads that are identical in every way to their 6" counterparts. I'm about to send several heads off for him to get started on. It takes 4-6 weeks from start to finish so it will be a while before I have them. I'll get pics up when I do. He currently has Sam, Teal'c and Black Ops Daniel heads available. www.hunterartworks.ecrater.com

          Anyone have an extra sword from the SG-1 Mitchell figure? Mine fell over in the display case and the sword broke at the handle. Thanks!

            Question: exactly what accessories are included with each of the Diamond Select 12 inch figures? I understand that the O'Neill has a P90, but what else is included with the figure? What comes with the Daniel Jackson and Cameron Mitchell figures? Can anybody tell me?

              O'Neill has a P90, a canteen, a GDO and a zat.

                  Now that you mention it, he does come with a walkietalkie.
                  Do post pics of your custom when it's done

                    I will post pics when it's completed. I've been acquiring bits and pieces for an O'Neill figure for the past few years-- with the new head sculpted by sunohc, I think I'll finally be able to complete my ultimate custom figure.

                      Got my Diamond Select O'Neill 12 inch figure a couple of days ago. Pretty much what I expected-- so-so likeness (though I think a custom repaint could help), okay uniform (boots are a joke though), and fair accessories. I'm going to use the uniform pants and and maybe the the t-shirt on my custom figure. Even though I think the figure is a bit of a disappointment, I ordered another one from www.cornerstorecomics.com -- they have them on clearance for only $15!

                              How exactly do I take off the head of an existing 12" figure, and put on another one? I haven't dared so far, since I don't want to break anything. And I have no idea how body and head are connected. Can please one of you guys post some pictures, what headless figures look like, and tell me what I need to take care of?

                                I don't have any photos to show you and it really doesn't matter, because all the different figure manufactures use different methods to attach heads to the bodies. For example, on a Dragon figure, you use hot tap water (not boiling) or a hairdryer to heat up the figure's head, then gently pry the head off from the front-- try sliding a dinner knife into the crevice where the head joins the mounting post and prying it off that way. I plan on using a Hot Toys body and a neck adapter with the sunohc head. You can buy the neck adapter here-- http://www.gijoeelite.com/f_itemPart...art=GISAT-B001 and you can currently buy the Hot Toys TrueType figures at a number of online retailers. I'm using the narrow shoulder version TrueType-- I bought one from goodstufftogo.net for $32.
