A whole lot of love for the Beastie Boys music video  SABOTAGE

“The song’s music video directed by Spike Jonze and played extensively on  MTV is an homage and parody of 1970s crime drama television series.  The song’s music video directed by Spike Jonze and played extensively on  MTV is an homage and parody of 1970s crime drama television series.  The video is presented as the opening credits of a fictional 1970s-style  police show called Sabotage, with the band members appearing as the  show characters. Each band member is introduced as a fictional actor and  the names of the characters are also given. Cochese was the most  cheesy guy in the video clip, so I decided to turn him into a custom.”

OG13 Front Page Nominations

At OG13 we try to highlight different members and different types of content on our Front Page.

Do we succeed? Admittedly we are better some days than others, sometimes real life catches up with our staff, and sometimes you, the members, put out amazing content with such frequency that we cannot even begin to capture even a cross section of the work being done.

That being said – to help our staff know what is important to you I offer a thread for people to nominate those things that are “front page” worthy.

Oreobuilders GI Joe Train

Customs (use this one)

From OreoBuilder’s Joe-Verse:

“About 5 years ago, I decided that it was time to finally make the train that I always wanted for my Joes. I looked into different scales of trains that I could buy and modify. One day, I bought a Playmobil box car on super clearance for 5$. When I stood ME Joes next to it, it looked good, so I set out to buy all the cars and the engine and paint them.

After a few false starts and waiting for the latest Playmo train to arrive, here it is: My GI Joe train!”

OG13 is thrilled that Oreabuilder brought this amazing custom to our pages.
This one picture does not do this masterpiece justice.

52 Weeks of Free Figures (aka giving away whatever the hell we want) Year 2 Week 22

I would like to thank Beachhead666 for handling the 52 weeks duties the last two weeks. He noticed that I had gotten behind on posting the contest up and volunteered immediately – so much appreciated, brother.

I am going to jump back in this week to give away some stuff I have had riding around in the trunk of my car (no, not that stuff).

This week OG13 is giving away a Retaliation Hisstank.

So, how do you enter to win this prize?

It’s simple and easy (just like me).

This week we want you to nominate an OG’er who you think is deserving of winning a prize, who may need a little recognition or just because.

Maybe this person contributed some feedback to your custom, maybe they hooked you up with some much needed fodder, maybe they had a bad week at work…..anything goes as long as you think theydeserve it.

Here’s the deal – OG13 will randomly select one of the nominated OG’ers and send them a Retaliation Hisstank…..and you get one too for nominating that person.

Stipulations:

1.) If you nominate yourself you are disqualified and you should be ashamed

2.) You have to write at least 25 words describing why the person is worthy of the prize

3.) You can only nominate one person, but you can be nominated multiple times

4.) Staff are eligible.

 

So have at it OGers.
