Two easy potf2 customs, a generic mandalorian and a special forces stormtrooper. The mando is just a repaint of boba fett, and the stormtrooper is made with the arms, hips and legs of luke in stormtrooper disquise with a modified tie pilot helmet and body. I have made other customs, I just don't feel like posting them.
-
Always great to see those figures still being used. And your first customs post. Time to get this on the front pages. I really like your color choices on that Mando.
-
Both of them look nice! I like the design and the combination of colours on both of them!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the compliments and the front page! I am planning on making a whole squad of the special forces trooper. Here is a WIP droid that I started today. The torso, head and upper arms are from the 5poa k2s0. The legs and weapon are from potf2 ig 88. The lower arms are from a KO CW obi wan.
-
Thats a nice one too. Let me go share it.
-
Yesterday I made 3 customs, a wookiee jedi, a smuggler and a tusken raider rebel pilot, and I plan on finishing more today. Shout out to darthapathy on yakface for helping me build up my fodder.
-
Nice. Back to the front pages.
-
Great job with these customs. I like the red trooper. You droid turned out really well. And I like the choice of the Shadows imperial guard helmet for a tusken raider pilot.
-
Lots of updates coming, here is my attempt at a jedha pilgrim from rogue one
-
Picture's a bit blurry, so its hard to make out the detail on your sculpted hood, but its a great use of the Sarco Plank body (unless I'm mistaken about that).
-
It is the sarco plank body, and there isnt much detail on the hood, as it is my first successful attempt at sculpting.
Rebel pilot
Tfa finn body
Unknown head and helmet
TAC clone in training gear armor
Potf2 tie pilot chest box

Kudos to you for tackling sculpting, it took me a long time before I started. Like the pilot figure as well.
-
Off to share your updates!

Hoth rebel commander
A simple head/hands swap with parts that I recieved from other collectors.
-
Nice one.
-
Looks good, I like the helmet idea.

You have a lot of interesting figures in you thread.
I can't wait to see more.
Excellent work.

Fun figures! I like the way you are exploring different parts combinations. Keep it up!
That is the first thing I thought when I first saw these. I like the parts combinations. Off to share the latest on the front pages.
-
I'm a big fan of Rebel Troops! Your customs look great! I agree with Starchaser and Tamer: Really like the different parts! Especially the belts make them look cool and unique!
Thanks for sharing ImperialOfficer!

I got some green stuff for my birthday, and it is so much better than sculpy. Here is a WIP stormtrooper wookiee that is based on concept art from solo.
-
Neat concept custom. Off to share to the front pages.
-
The concept Stormtrooper wookiees look really cool.
I would like to read the backstory about them.
Your figure looks great so far and I'm looking forward to see the finished figure.
-
Excellent find on these concepts (I might have to try my hand at them). Your sculpting is shaping up well, I'll be excited to see it when its done. Greenstuff (Kneadatite) is an excellent medium, glad you're trying it out.
-
Thanks for the complements everyone! The concept art is from the art of solo. I also have some aves apoxie that I plan on trying out later today.
I plan on buying some better quality paints than what I've been using, and I am looking for advice. I only have a budget of about $45, and I am not sure which brand/colors to get. I would like to get enough colors to be able to mix any others that I would need.
-
I got some new paint on tuesday, so I tried it out today. I made clone trooper Kix, and he is my favorite custom so far.
-
Very nice. Let me go share this.
-
Nice! Your Kix turned out well! The emblem on the left shoulder pad looks very good!
Thanks for sharing & have a nice weekend!
- Philipp
-
Thanks for the compliments! I have decided that my goal for the summer is to create at least one custom every day. Here is my custom for the day, clone trooper echo in training gear.
-
That's an ambitious goal! If you have time during the holidays and enough fodder to customize plus motivation, this will be an awesome time I'm looking forward to!
I'm also a big fan of Clone Troopers and yours in Training gear looks great, too! If you have many of these troops, this is a great occasion to bring some variety into your cadets!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing! Have a nice weekend and keep up the creative motivation!
- Philipp
-
I have the time and motivation, the only thing I might not have enough of is fodder. Anyway, here is today's custom, darth maul with added articulation.
-
Wow, this Maul looks really nice! I suppose this was a 5POA figure before? I'm not familiar with the products released since 2015...I didn't buy the Rebels, TFA, Rogue One, TLJ and SOLO stuff.
I might get Han's Speeder some day though.
Anyway, the ball-joints at the ellbows and knees look great! I also like the double-bladed lightsaber! Was this Maul actually released in the Rebels line?
Darth Maul is actually the character I got my very first Star Wars action figure of back in 1999.
Thanks for sharing and giving me these good memories on this nostalgic Sunday morning! Yesterday, I got my Jabba out of the packaging, again, after I had seen your custom throne for the mighty Hut! Thank you for all the inspiration and keep up the artwork!
- Philipp
P.S.: I'm sure that you'll find good fodder in the bay or on fleamarkets/garage sales around you. But for me eBay is always the best source.
-
Thanks! This was the darth maul released for star wars rebels in a 2 pack for the rogue one line.
-
Thank you very much! I just found this 2-Pack online for 10€. They're all on sale now. I still don't buy them. The 2-Pack with Chirrut Îmwe & Baze Malbus is on sale for just $3.89 on Amazon.com. This might be interesting...
- Philipp
-
Very nice updates. Let me go share that Maul.
-

I saw the baze and chirrut pack, and I am tempted to get a few just for the accessories, especially since chirrut comes with a more accurate version of his crossbow/blaster thing, unlike the single carded release.
-
Maul turned out really well. Added articulation is a necessity on a character that is so athletic. Excellent job.
-
Thanks!
Here is yesterday's custom. I missed Sunday-Tuesday, unfortunately, but I plan on finishing a custom that I have been working on for a while now.
Here is a realistic style of season 6 arc trooper Fives.
-
Nice. Off to share.
-
Fives turned out well. I don't think anyone will fault you for missing a few days:)
-
wow
Your latest figures turned out great.
The super articulated Maul is really cool.
I can't wait to see more.

Not much is known about Ulysses, other than the fact that he joined Black Star after their rival gang, Silver Moon, killed his family.
Recipe:
Head: TFA Unkar Thug
Body: Unknown
Lower legs/feet: TBS CAssian
Upper legs: TVC Endor Rebel Commando
Skirt: TCW Cold Weather Obi Wan

Also, if anyone has any spare Galactic Battle Game dice that they could send me I need quite a few...
-
Off to the front page again. I like him.
-
Here is a quick custom I did of Rose in carbonite. I have no issues with the character, but I was bored and she was the only figure that made sense. Also, if anyone is interested, I might be willing to make casts if there is enough interest that I wouldn't waste silicone on a mold.
(https://i.imgur.com/q4uphz3.jpg)
-
I love it!! It is the 5POA version? The BS 3.75 Rose has some decent kitbashing possibilities.
-
Wow, she turned out great in carbonite. Off to share to the front pages.
-
You don't know how much I celebrate this Rose in Carbonite! What a brilliant idea! There is hardly a better purpose for this 5POA figure! The quality of the carbonite block really turned out great! Which material did you for the cast?
Also, Ulysses Gartrok and Nagk San are the most mysterious and therefore interesting customs I've seen in a while! Ulysses is my absolute favourite! He just looks so awesome! And Nagk reminds me of the good old days when I played Knights of the Old Republic. Both of them look just so good. That's what Star Wars is to me: mysterious figures with actual character (not that Sequel trash) - how much would I love to see these two on my Mos Eisley diorama. This really inspires me for some customs to populate my current project.
Thank you so much for sharing and enjoy your holidays!

Thank you so much for the compliments! Ulysses and Nagk are my favorite customs so far. The Rose in carbonite above is the original copy - I posted casts for sale in the for sale section. I made rose by cutting han solo out of the POTF2 HIC, which was hollow on the inside. I then superglued her in and used aves apoxie to smooth everything out. The great thing about this method is that I can easily replicate it, and I have a few ideas so far.
-
Really liking these last customs. Gartrok looks good, and I like Kel Dor characters, so kudos!
-
Lots of new figures today!

Very nice. I really like that sniper droid. Off to share.
-
ImperialOfficer, your latest series of customs is just amazing! The paint applications on all four are applied excellently clean!
I really like the shade of grey you used for the 224th Clone Troopers and the Weapons Development Droid!
My favourite accessory is the modified E-5 blaster rifle of the Mimban Droid Sniper! They all look very sharp! I'm so glad you joined the yards! It's good to have you aboard!
Keep up the great work!
- Philipp
-
I totally agree with Darth More.
The 224th and the Moímban droids are phenomenal.
Excellent work.

Wow, I REALLY like the design and pattern of your Dusk Squad! At first sight Fracture is my favorite member, but they all look just so good!
And I'm thrilled to see your upcoming photonovel, too!
Keep up the great work!
- Philipp
-
Thanks! I am currently working on realistic versions of the squad, but I need both phase 1 and phase 2 removable helmets for them. I am still debating what style to use for the photonovel, but I think I will use a mix of animated and realistic. Fracture is also my favorite member, and the realistic version so far looks even better.
-
Nice Job. Off to share.

Nado Tract
A mercenary who helped the republic during the Clone Wars, Nado Tract was caught smuggling Jedi Padawans to safety after order 66 and has been on the run from the Empire ever since.
-
Another good one.
-
Your Dusk Squad looks really awesome.
I like the added weathering on Commander Midnight.
Nado Tract is an outstanding custom figure. The mix of parts is great and I like the back story.
Excellent work.
-
I like the idea of Dusk Squad and they turned out very well. I also really like the parts combination for Tract - well done.
-
I agree, the helmet looks very nice and the backstory sounds very interesting - Might this be a hint at your upcoming photonovel?
I also like how smooth the paint looks! You painted this squad very well!

Thanks for the feedback!
Here is my realistic style Dusk Squad. I still need phase 1 helmets for them, so if anyone has some extra and could help me out...

Man, this is AWESOME! Commander Midnight looks great, I really like the design of his armor and the Snowtrooper backpack looks perfect on him! Fracture is still my favourite of them although that's a tight choice. Your painting skills are impressive! The paintjob on your realistic style squad is even cleaner than your first run! I'm also amazed by the three custom helmets you made!
You really knocked Dusk Squad Phase II off the park, ImperialOfficer! You just launched not one, but five custom Clone Troopers - WOW - and they look incredible!
Thanks for sharing & keep up the excellent work!

Thanks! I'd been working on those for a while, but these next few were all completed in one day. I present Sigma squad.

These are fun too. I'll check my fodder bins when I have a chance to see about Phase I helmets - but I don't think I've got any.
-
And the awesomeness continues with Sigma Squad! Wow! You repainted them on one day only?! That’s impressive! I love the designs of them! What about the Battle Droids? I suppose they’re part of the squad. Are they re-programmed to serve as decoys against the separatist army? That would give the Republic Forces a tactical advantage...
Keep up the great work! I’ll send a Gunship to you to drop a package with supplies. This talent must be supported!

I like your newest Stormtrooper custom and the short backstory you gave him.

Great update, off to share.

Nice update. I really like the Jedi.

Well, today was the first day of school, and unfortunately I did not make one custom for every day of the summer. I ended up making a total of 55 customs, as well as starting many projects and getting countless ideas. Here is a group shot:
(https://i.imgur.com/XFVyTSX.jpg)
There are quite a few there that I haven't posted, either because I haven't gotten around to it or because they are being kept secret...
-
Very cool, really like the jedi general
-
That is still a great accomplishment for one summer.
Have a fun year at school!
-
i know this was posted a while ago but i have been out of the game over here ! but your dusk squad caught my eye and i like them ! well done as well as your other work . Look forward to seeing more !
-
Great custom mate.
Ron
-
I agree with Tamer. 55 customs for 12 weeks is pretty amazing! And so does Justin over at YakFace think! I saw his post on YakFace's Customizer Spotlight this morning.
When I look at the custom figures I made so far since 2012 I can probably count them with three hands. If I think of the custom figures I'm going to make the count quickly goes close to one hundred...
I keep looking at the picture of your shelf - it's great to see all the customs - you've really done a fantastic job on them! You created some truly awesome customs and I'm really looking forward to seeing your photo novel project evolve...
Thanks for making this summer so much better with all these great customs to look at. Your work is very inspiring. Please, keeo it up!
- Philipp

Thanks for the compliments everyone! The hardest part about customizing is not being able to purchase parts or supplies due to my lack of money.

Soo cool! I really like the droid with the flames shooting out an being a huge darth maul fan i really like the zabrak jedi , amazing work!
-
Lots of great kit bashes here! Keep it up! Just try and use patience with your work. I know it can be frustrating to go slow and not have enough parts but that's what's great about getting loose lots off eBay. They are soo cheap to get fooder. Even the junk EP 1 figures can be made into unrecognizable wonders... Just wanted to throw that out there.
Love lots of you color combinations too. You should try doing washes and dry brushing next (if you haven't)... Dyes can get you cool results too if wait it out.
-
I agree lots of great combinations in here. Off to share.
-
Nice work on so many custom figures created in one summer! Lots of very cool looking customs in this thread by you. Keep going!
-
That's a pretty impressive assortment of characters! I like that you requisitioned elements from other lines (TMNT, etc.) to flesh out the partisans alien ranks. I really enjoyed the combinations here.
-
That's a very nice and diverse Rebel garrison, indeed! 21 figures and one vehicle customized over one weekend is top performance from my perspective.
Like ghostskull18 I really like this Super Battle Droid - Droideka - Grievous - Fusion! Seeing the firing missle play feature of the Destroyer as Flamethrower is brilliant! Never thought of that! Also the SBD torso on Destroyer Droid tipod with alternate cannon looks very cool!
My personal favourites of this lot are the Devaronian with red cape along with the CIS Flamethrower Droid - the paint job on that one is just awesome!
And as (SID) said, eBay is the perfect source for you - especially when you live in the U.S.! Just be patient! You'll find excellent lots of loose figures, vehicles, parts and other fodder on there for reasonable prices or even very cheap. Keep your hobby, work hard for school and later on when you earn money, there won't be any better conditions for you as Star Wars fan and customizer on this planet.
And like I-am-Boba-Fett and Starchaser, I also enjoy following your thread. And I'm sure hemble will also continue following your thread as time allows to. You impress all these great customers on here and that means something.
Keep up the great work, enjoy the hobby, but try not to hustle. I know it can be frustrating to not have time, money or space to instantly realize your ideas, but I made the experience that projects turn out even better the longer they had stayed in my mind before. I started to write down all my ideas, drawn concepts and drafts and collect them in one folder. I keep forgetting stuff you know...
- Philipp
-
wow
That is a huge update. So many amzing custom figures.
I would say the Flamethrower Droid is my favorite.
Excellent work.
-
Thanks everyone!
Recently I started a new line of custom figures, based on my favorite Lego theme from when I was younger... Lego Ninjago.
Here is the first one... Jay ZX, my favorite ninja...
(https://i.imgur.com/8VTUnWt.jpg)
And #2... Samukai, the 4 armed skeleton!
(https://i.imgur.com/IvPfKWM.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/IY6nNrT.jpg)
-
What a cool idea. I like his look in action figure form. Off to share.
-
I agree! That's a very cool idea! All I know is that Ninjago is one of the most popular themes of LEGO and still sells very well.
Your realization of Jay ZX is plain excellent! It's very interesting to see how he actuakly looks in 1/18 scale! He looks great!
But dude, your Samukai just looks awesome! To me it looks at least a million times better than the LEGO Minifigure! It's just so cool! And reminds me a little of Gerneral Grievous.
Sorry for the late reply, thanks for sharing & have a good weekend!
I'm looking forward to seeing this project continue!

Now how do we fit Ninjago into the Star Wars universe? These are fun customs. Thanks for sharing.

Nice set of droids! I really like the silver imperial battle droid.
-
Wow all kinds of custom droid action in there. Let me go share some of it.

These droids roam junkyards, dismantling things with their industrial strength lasers. Recently they have begun to pop up in various criminal syndicates as both pit fighters and battle droids.

Your Decomposer droid looks great.

I agree with Tamer. Great troop builds.

That's an insane amount of custom figures at once! So much good stuff to look at! Thanks for sharing! I especially like the lightsaber damaged Battle Droid! The other reprogrammed B1 unit looks great in blue, too!
Your Clone Troopers and Mandalorians are always awesome.

That's what I call a huge update.
So many awesome figures.
Excellent work.

Wow, I just realized how inactive I've been. Starting today I'm going to try to post one custom a day, which shouldn't be a problem since I have so many unposted.
Recently I've been doing a lot of ninja customs, so here is one of my favorites.

The base plate looks great, too! Did you spray-paint it?
- Philipp

Nice to see you back. First ninja on the front pages.

i did add the green. The base plate was spray painted, but not by me. I got a few in a trade.

I missed a few days, so I'm going to post a few customs soon.

I like that orc too. Off to share your update.

Wow, five in a row! I like them all and agree with Starchaser & Tamer! The blindly fighting Ninja warrior is a cool idea, like the first masked knight a lot and the detail of the second Ninja (5 of the lot) is pretty high!
Very nice update!

Thank you! The blind ninja was an easy head/accessory swap to use up some spare parts. I think the first guy is my favorite of the five.

Here are a couple of customs based on concept art. I made these for a contest on another site.

Your latest figures turned out great.
I'm a big fan of concept art figures.
Too bad the Frontier Gunner didn't made it into the movie.

It's been a long time since I updated this thread. Now that summer is here I am going to try for an even loftier goal tan last year. My goal for this year is to create or finish 200 customs over the summer, as well as finally completed my photonovel and work on dioramas. Hopefully I can complete this, but I doubt I will. I really need to use up some of my parts.
Another easier to achieve goal is to remember to post my customs.
-
Looking forward to what you have to show.
-
Wow, thats a goal. Looking forward to the show.

Time to start posting my summer customs. I have a ton of stuff to work on, but hopefully I can finish all of my WIP figures.

Wow, another batch of cool customs! I really like the Quarren Skiff Guard, the desert worm and the Imperial Merc! Now, I need to watch out for one of those H.E.A.T. Viper figures.
Your ideas are so cool! And your painting skills on even the tiniest sculpts are impressive! Thanks for sharing these awesome concepts! Do you have a 3D printer at home already?

-
All good, but the Distrinti Royal Guard is the standout for me.

Wow - you've been building some great figures. I like the Kel Dor scientist and the Distriinti Royal Guard particularly, but there are a lot of great characters in these updates!

23. Corrupted Warrior
Visit my site for a detailed write-up of how I made the figure, including which parts and paints I used.

Fun concept - the figure would work as some kind of Sith champion/warrior. Toning down the Chaos weirdness from 40K works pretty well.
-
I like the skulls, you have the start of a great blog there too.
Off to share.
-
Thank you for the compliments and the front page! I am planning on making a whole squad of the special forces trooper. Here is a WIP droid that I started today. The torso, head and upper arms are from the 5poa k2s0. The legs and weapon are from potf2 ig 88. The lower arms are from a KO CW obi wan.
May I use this paint scheme for a A K-Series droid for my 229th Stormtrooper Battalion, or my 138th Armored division. Will credit you with original concept.
-
wow
So many brillinat custom figures.
One better than the other.
I can't wait to see more.

I haven't been feeling very interested in doing figures recently, so I'm hoping that posting some of the things that I have started but not finished will motivate me to work on them.

(https://i.imgur.com/xKcE1CB.jpg)
I have been painting a lot of miniatures recently, and I think that is one of the reasons I havent been doing as many figures. It is a lot less tedious to paint something because I don't have to spend so long basecoating everything, and there is such a huge selection. It doesn't help either that they are so cheap compared to figures.
Here are a few of the minis I have finished recently.

Thanks. I started working on the crab knight the other day, and I did a few figures today too. I painted a bunch of undead miniatures for Halloween as well.
I started using an airbrush to basecoat figures recently, and today I tried to do more than usual. I really like the effects I got with the orange. I envision him as the leader of some sort of cult, and a couple of high ranking members.

Nice update, I really like the spectral effect you got on many of these miniatures. Off to share on the front pages.
-
Good grief! Your miniatures look sick! The first thoght when I saw your Halloween customs was: Jup, he got an airbrush, now! I agree with Tamer: the effects look amazing. No need to say how detailed your paintwork is! Excellent ideas there! I'm very glad for you that you work with an airbrush system now! So much potential there! Thanks for sharing!
-
The minis look really good - especially the spectral figures! I also think the orange hue on your "cult" members looks really interesting. Now you have to build a real good backstory.
-
havn't been doing much customizing recently, mostly due to the very disorganized state of my fodder, but I did do a few figures in December.

I really like how that security droid turned out. Took me a bit to recognize the clone training armor body under that silver paint. Great concept!
-
That security droid is sweet. I love the head, its got a Chappie/Biareos from Appleseed vibe. So Starchaser pointed out the body as a Clone Trainee, and I know the neck piece is from a Mark I Iron Man, but what is the head?
