Edit: updated OP 

 I made a thread about this in the main forum, but thought I would share it with the creative types too as, you know, it is creative.

Basically I have no real modelling or painting skills, the last time I picked up a brush was when the Fellowship of the Ring movie came out and this is the first time I've ever sculpted anything in my life. But I've decided to slowly make my own Mass Effect action figures in the 3.75 range, the same scale as Star Wars and GI Joe figures are. I started with Shepard and Garrus, and after painstakingly turning a GI Joe henchman into a Turian I made Miranda and Thane. After the new DLC I just had to make a Liara and I think she's the best one yet.  My eventual intention is to have all the ME2 and ME1 crew (minus Ashley, dead racists don't get figures), the Cereberus crew and a few key others like Anderson.

Here's the group so far

Thanks guys, I really want to finish this project and online feedback, good or bad, is really all I have to encourage me besides my own satisfaction.

The temptation to borrow a good camera and take huge pictures of the Normandy crew fighting the X Men, Darth Vader and a ton of dinosaurs is growing.

You know, those GIJoe figs have been warming the pegs at our local TRU for months, and every time I walked by I thought "that's some nice armor detail. I wonder...," and now lookie here. Nice job. Makes me want to dig out the x-acto and my old tub of spare body parts. I'll have to try the Green Stuff too. I bet my sculpy's gone dry. Pretty patient with the logos given the scale. I was always better with a blade than a brush, so I'd carve the edge of the detail bits to make it easier to define and paint them. It helped for straight lines, and a lot of production figures do the same to cover up their own sloppy work. Of course, I would also put a band-aid on my thumb in advance, since I always managed to make little cuts in the same spot. Not the lesson you'd think I'd learn, but there you go. Cut away, kids. Cut away.

/and on the off-chance you're not already aware of it, "Custom Con" is a great way to see what others are doing without having to hunt.
