Nice initiative from Tsang Yiu Keung who proposes on his flickr gallery instructions on how to assemble a nice custom Iron Man Mark I armor.

Everyone has their own tastes, and not everyone will necessarily be a fan of this interpretation of Tony Stark's first armor. But the whole is ingenious and the final rendering, with the help of a few decals, is quite convincing.

You can download the instructions in pdf format at this address or by clicking on the image above.

4-LOM, former protocol droid turned thief and bounty hunter looking for Han Solo on behalf of Darth Vader (Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back) gets her bust in the Bounty Hunters series proposed by Omar Ovalle.

He is here accompanied by a superb reproduction of his favorite weapon: The W-90 Concussion Rifle or LJ-90 which is in fact a barely modified version of a German weapon dating from the Second World War: The Maschinengewehr 34 or MG34 .

I still appreciate it so much this gallery of bounty hunters that Omar introduces us regularly and I look forward to Dengar and Bossk so that the team recruited by Vader and seen aboard the Executor is complete ...

A band of daring testers set up sometimes spectacular experiments to twist the necks of received ideas, to demystify or confirm popular beliefs ...".
