Well, with all the free time our apocalypse has provided, I've gotten back into customizing.
First figure in the lineup, a fan fic character from a Star Wars role playing game I'm currently running.
Meet ISB Director Sloan...

Very nice. I like that last one a good bit too. Off to share on the front pages.

Cool stuff! Keep up the good work!

Great figures. I like how Hera turned out and your finished version of Vi looks really good. Nice job.

I like that female imperial officer in white.

Hera is always a favorite! Would like to see you tackle a realistic Ghost crew. 😎👌

Wow, thanks, Tamer!! Really appreciate it!

Thanks very much! Appreciate you looking and commenting!

Ha! Coming from a fellow member of the Moradi Fan Club, that means a lot!

Thank you! Appreciate the vote of confidence, but I don't think I'll tackle any more Rebels figures. I happened to have the parts for this, but I wouldn't know where to start on most of the rest!
Thanks to everyone for your comments!

All new customs!
Sector Security Forces.
These private rangers are employed by local planets, stations and outposts to provide assistance to travelers, enforce safety regulations and deter the encroachment of criminal activity.
Unfortunately, private mercenary groups are also hired by criminal organizations and corporations to enforce their sinister agendas.
But not so for these two, Officer Flip and Sergeant Glip, who, along with their helpful droid FleeBlee Seven, provide assistance and keep everyone safe and sound aboard the bustling Farspace Station.

"Goooooooooo Sector Rangers!"
(https://images2.imgbox.com/38/da/qM3yFNj8_o.jpg)
"I missed my transport and I don't know what to do!"
(https://images2.imgbox.com/73/af/PNWgXQXh_o.jpg)
"Fear not, traveler! A Star Tours shuttle to Naboo is departing in only 45 minutes from Terminal 12!"
"Wow, thanks, Sector Rangers!"
(https://images2.imgbox.com/56/4a/9NvwWrSz_o.jpg)
"Now go back and tell Jabba the Hutt that Farspace Station is off limits!"
"Curse you, Sector Rangers!"
(https://images2.imgbox.com/f9/c4/Nl5ftu67_o.jpg)
"From all of us at Sector Security, we wish you clear skies and pleasant travels!"
"And always wear a safety belt!"

"Another fine day on the job, Glip!"
"Wait, I thought I was Flip!?"

I love it! Very cool. Totally should start a PN series based around this. 😎👌

New batch of customs! All Tatooine/desert residents!
First is based off this classic bit of McQuarrie concept art!

I also stumbled upon this piece of art, where some else decided to borrow the character -

So I borrowed from the borrower --

Next up is a blink-and-you-miss-her extra from Tatooine in the original "Star Wars" -

Next is a quick custom I made with some spare parts, mostly a Fixer figure.
This guy can be seen most days in the marketplace, selling the meager bounty from his moisture farm. But, in reality, he's a highly-skilled freelance slicer.
If you know the secret code word, "I'm looking for slightly spoiled squish-melons," then he's yours to hire!
(https://images2.imgbox.com/5b/31/FjYSkSJ5_o.jpg)
(https://images2.imgbox.com/0c/a2/GtoEO7mf_o.jpg)
"I'm looking for, uh, squishy...no, I mean, I'm looking for slightly salted, er...I mean, super smelly..."
"Oh, for pete's sake, I'll do it!"
(https://images2.imgbox.com/19/2f/jYZ2j0ad_o.jpg)
"We've heard reports about an illegal slicer operating around here. You wouldn't know anything about that?"
"Oh, hi, Sector Rangers! Nope! The only slicing I do is for this tasty week-old zuzu pie. Care for a slice?"
"Hmm. Wouldn't that be considered bribery?"
"Not after you taste it!"
(https://images2.imgbox.com/99/de/3iHpHtoP_o.jpg)
"Pardon me, madam, but are you lost?"
"No."
"Oh, good. Do you have any idea how to get to Docking Bay 61? I'm so turned around!"

Now this is awesome. Spot on with your reference image. Nice work.

Flip and Glip are great! Really nice update on the Tatooine folks too. I like the slicer backstory, and good re-purposing of the Ferengi. Excellent work.

You are quite welcome. I really enjoy seeing a whole custom effort put together by artwork.

Real quick custom. "Twi'lek Alliance Commando."
This came about while sorting through extra figures and the tails of an Ayy Vida figure just popped right off in my hand with no effort.
So I had to think what would be a cool head that could make a good twi'lek. So many purple twi'leks in fan art, but none in figure form, so I dremmeled off the hair and ears of a Resistance figure.
And then I sorted through the fodder to see what neck she'd fit. I have very little left in terms of usable fodder after a productive month, but I always wanted to do something with the Deena Shan "commando" body and it was a perfect fit.
(had to paint over those incredibly dorky Alliance crests that were on the knee pad, though. SO dumb looking!)
The tails aren't glued on yet, as I need to find a way to erase the original head's miralian facial tattoos. Curiously, using acetone only erased ONE of the squares. So now she's uneven! I may also dremmel more of the head away so the tails fit "lower."
anyway, here she is....still a bit of a WIP, but I love the way she looks so far!

Such an excellent kit-bash! I love this composition of yours and am still waiting for those animated Resistance figures to go on clearance from 9.99€ here in Germany. Nobody buys them...you did some decent sculpting on the head there! This custom made my day!

Wow, thanks! But I did no sculpting here, I just put the Resistance head together with the Aay Vida tails that fell off on their own! I did dremmel down the head, getting rid of hair and ears to make the headdress/tails fit properly.
Thanks very much! It was super easy, but I think it looks great.
Nice custom.

Thanks for your continued support and kind words, Tamer! Very appreciated!
Great work Lance!
Thank you, thank you! :D

Pretty cool paintjob on the face! Was Secura the base? Or did you sculpt?

haha! Thanks, but I did no painting on the figure except to paint the head tails and neck area.
She's Synara San from "Resistance" with the head tails from Ayy Vida from AOTC.

That's a great design! I used the same base for a Twi'lek commando some time back, but using the Synara head and turned out really well for a unique member of this species. I like it!

Hey, thanks a lot, Starchaser! Would love to see the twi'lek you made if you have the link!
I still haven't cleaned up her face yet of those dots, but it's on my to-do list!
:)

Amazing work! Lots of details! Very cool

Woowie! That's seamless on the leaks. I never would have noticed. How did you cut/glue so cleanly?

I really didn't do much at all! The tails on the Aay Vida figure literally just fell off in my hand while sorting through figures. Guess the glue gave out after, what, 17 years?
And then I just dremmeled down the Resistance head a little so they'd fit.
Easy stuff!

Its back on page 4 of my thread. But its a very poor picture - blurred out by photobucket. I guess I'll take some new shots and upload them.

Hey, she looks great! Great paint job on her.
(Stupid photobucket!)

I'm late to the game here, but I really dig the Sector Security Glip and Flip. Very cool, fun and they have a lot of personality. I also really like the Twi'lek Commando, she looks very slick.

And now for something completely different... This is the coolest outfit that Steve "Captain America" Rogers wears in the entire MCU - the USO outfit combined with leather jacket.
Pretty happy with how this one turned out, I had an inkling to make this for years before I finally figured it out.
Note: The Peggy and Schmidt customs were NOT done by me, but by the artist formerly known as Inky Skin.

Now this turned out great. I like this version of CA too.

Nicely done. Cap turned out really well (and the scenes you put him in were fun to look at too!). Great job.
-
I agree, all customs look great! These are 1/18 scale right? The headsculpts and the backdrops you used look amazing, too!

Wow, thanks, Tamer! yeah, this is my favorite "outfit" for Steve Rogers across all of the MCU films!

Thank! Sometimes my customs turn out like bird poop, but this one surprised me as well with how it came together.
The "scenes" were just images I quickly googled and put up on my laptop. The figures are all standing precariously on the keyboard as I snapped away. :D
I agree, all customs look great! These are 1/18 scale right? The headsculpts and the backdrops you used look amazing, too!
Yup, all 1/18 scale. The Captain America head is from an actual Marvel figure, they had a rare helmet-less version when the first movie came out, but it seems to be impossible to find now.
The other figures weren't made by me, but by another customizer aka Inky Skin. He created shrunk down heads using the 6" versions of Schmidt and Peggy. Don't ask me to explain how!
And, as I said previous, my laptop was the backdrop for all the "scenes." :)
here's a pic of Lil' Steve with his 6" big brother, which was a great source of inspiration.
