Post by: Clonehead on June 09, 2009, 07:01:23 AM: Holy cow, Jenks!!!!!!!! I am very impressed, my friend. You have some great figures, there. So far, my favorite is either the Quarren in armor or the cloaked clone with the visor.
I'm going to put one of these on the Front Page, buddy!!

Good job! I can't wait to see more.

Post by: Tamer on June 09, 2009, 08:48:22 AM: I really like some of the combinations here. I really liked that Luke in armor, Thrawn was sweet too. Ofcourse the Quarren is nice too. Great work Jenki.

Post by: spudafett on June 09, 2009, 09:39:23 AM: Great stuff. I especially like that converted speeder bike, the BFG on top looks awesome.

The skiff is a good take too. I love vehicle customs, not enough of them around...

Post by: narceron on June 09, 2009, 09:43:21 PM: I'm new, so please don't take offense, but what did you do to cmdr fox, the pauldron?
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: jenki87 on June 09, 2009, 09:45:20 PM: nope~ i didn really do much to fox actually, just drilled a hole in his back to fit in the backpack from clone wars obiwan, because it seems to suit him more than it does for obi-wan x)

Post by: spudafett on June 10, 2009, 03:06:37 PM: you mentioned your paint not agreeing, your not using enamel paints are you? I made that mistake when I first started, they never dried and stayed sticky... I have some that I did last year that still havn't cured.

Get some Acrylic paints, you can grab a starter pack at hobby lobby for a little over 20 bucks.

Post by: Clonehead on June 10, 2009, 03:30:17 PM: Do they have Hobby Lobbys at Singapore, Jenks?
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: narceron on June 10, 2009, 04:11:09 PM: singapore?/

We got a guy in singapore and you're asking about hobby lobby? I'm gonna ask "Do you know any disgruntled workers at the figure factory?"

I see stuff all the time on EBay selling from singapore, :)
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: jenki87 on June 10, 2009, 05:23:20 PM: hmm there's no factory here .-. i doubt there is. but a lot of ebayers cause even after shipping all the way from america, sometimes it still costs cheaper than buying from retail, if its even in retail. those u see from singapore are mostly something like middle-middle-men, selling after buying/bidding from those on ebay china or hongkong (yar.. the REAL 'disgruntled workers' lol )

there are hobby shops to cater for model kit builders, mostly military and gundam model kits, a bit of painting stuff here and there.

acrylic paint wont turn sticky? geeez i have to get some~ it really boring to just mix and match or use gundam markers.

i guess it's the culture here; most singaporeans collectors don't like customs, they prefer 'originals'

A USMC armored vehicle, i cut out certain pieces of plastic to fully utilise the space inside, converting it into something of a caravan-task force. the tooth picks bundled up at the rear of the turret is the beach obstacle pieces, and the circular thing wrapped in brown cloth is 'barbed' wire wrapped up

Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: Clonehead on July 11, 2009, 10:33:52 AM: Very nicely done, Jenks! I really like that side shot of the interior.
Great pic of the republic tank, also.
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: spudafett on July 11, 2009, 12:16:20 PM: I like that vehicle. Great stuff, However I'd remove the wheels and make it a hover tank to compliment the fighter tank... man I want one of those fighter tanks....
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: Tamer on July 11, 2009, 01:51:16 PM: I really like the custom tank. I could easily see about a half dozen of these providing flanking support for the large clone turbo tank we are gonna see this year. Awesome stuff Jenki.
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: Commander_Kurgan on July 11, 2009, 02:06:06 PM: Hi there!
You've got some very nice customs. Congratulations for a job well done.
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: hangarbay94 on July 12, 2009, 03:29:30 AM: That's a great Idea...

I'd re-paint the vehicle to match the Star Wars one next to it, that way the wheeled one can be the support for the hover tank.Kind of like a long range scout/recon team. If I were a kid I'd spend hours and hours playing with them....wait a minute, I am still a kid!!! >:D
Title: Re: Jenki's customs
Post by: jenki87 on July 12, 2009, 07:06:40 AM: actually i've been browsing around 1/18 stuff to add on to my star wars.. other than GI-joe, which is quite pricey around here, i stumbled upon this company called mc toy center, making the power team elite series. and their stuffs are good! but nobody carries them over here either
