Title: Re: Mr Hoppers Customs!
Post by: mr hoppers819 on August 16, 2011, 12:29:59 PM

Hey Guys!! Got another update for you!
All these customs will eventually be part of the Diorama I plan on starting soon..it’ll be the bridge of a Hammerhead-Class Ship with Old Republic forces trying to defend the bridge from attacking Mandalorians!

First up a rookie Mandalorian Warrior
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3052.jpg)
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3056.jpg)
I’m disappointed in the elbow joints they’re too loose so the arms flop about…other than that I’m pretty happy with how this turned out!

Next up is An Old Republic Fleet Officer
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3065.jpg)
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3066.jpg)
A little graying on the sideburns to give him that distigushed look lol

Finally Another Old Republic Mandalorian Warrior (And my favorite of the three!!)
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3069.jpg)
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3073.jpg)
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3074.jpg)
Battle damage on Backpack and gauntlet!
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3075.jpg)
Blaster Bolt battle damage
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k503/mrhoppers819/Customs/IMG_3077.jpg)
Custom weapon I created for him :)

Thanks for looking!! More customs in the works right now!! Feel free to comment and critique! I’d love to hear some feedback :)

The Mando troops look good...it's those little details like armor damage, slice marks, and dents that--I think--really make a good fig great. 

Nice work!

Thanks JediMerc!! I totally agree. Before i was too intimidated to really go all out with figures like that so i'd just leave it, but i've started doing washes, damage, and "battle grime" to really get  a figure to pop :)

Thanks again :)

Thanks! the head is from SOTE speeder bike pilot. Glad you liked the dio as well! I spent most of my senior year in Art class working on it lol.... Its a sad situation, but he's dealt with it his whole life and he is the happiest kid i've ever seen. He's like a little brother i never had.
