TD-5491 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have a different thred but wanted to start a new one for all the MEPD or Sandtrooper cards. This first card is for my boy Scootch, we did an awsome trade for one of his CAP-W Sandy buckets and if anyone is in need of a TK/TD helmet this is the man to talk to. An awsome piece and will wear it with pride! Scootch's Sandtrooper fig was custom painted to match his armor and I also added a MG-34 that he uses with the white pauldren. The story of this card is Killing the Lars while looking for the stolen plans LOL Thanks again to Scootch for the chance to make this for him. Much respect brother! walt My CAP-W Sandy helmet I got for the trade on his custom figure/card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-5491 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Here's mine I recently finished with the New MEPD challange coin. Many thanks to Chaz for the coin as I missed the run and never got one. Which by the way if anybody has an extra please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD-5491 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Here's something different that I did for a fellow MEPD brother Chaz. I changed the standard Kenner color to the MEPD color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theGreatSot Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Those cards rock! How long does one take you start to finish? I imagine that now that you've done a few, you've got a template and just have to play with image placement and basic text layout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD-5491 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Those cards rock! How long does one take you start to finish? I imagine that now that you've done a few, you've got a template and just have to play with image placement and basic text layout? Thanks for your feedback brother, much appreciated !!! it does take about 8 hrs to edit and clean up the sandtrooper and background images and to find and use the right background images and at the right DPI to make it real looking and also I try to make everyone's card look different so nobody's card is the same, I have done many many different styles and costumes but doing Sandtroopers are my fav LOL. It takes a while to get your groove on but it's worth the time. Now acually putting the card together is more time so to be honest I couldn't tell you the real total time to make one from start to finish. I've posted a few videos on youtube that you can check out. My only major problem is when bros send me pics that are not the best and so some may look like they don't match up but I either request better pics or if none are aval, I do what I can with what I've got and in the end the buyer has to proof each card image before I go to print. I will say that supplies have gone up in price making these kind of expensive but I gues it comes down to what is it worth to the person to have their very own action figure on card of themselves. I would hope more people would take on the task of making these but it does take up alot of free time and as many of you know, costuming in general takes alot of time so I guess that's just how it goes. We can never have time unless we make time. Thanks again for your feedback my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do runs from time to time when I have free time so just shoot me a message and we'll see if we can't get you made into your very own carded action figure.
