Wow that is a great recipe. Off to share.

Thanks, Tamer!

Very cool. I like the use of parts. It feels/looks it's from stepped straight off a piece of concept art.

Thanks, SID! I made it for my dad's birthday, and he's quite fond of the McQuarrie concept figures. I was hoping that this figure would fit in with those!

Your Sith Slayer is very cool.
Excellent work.

Like the slayer - like the partial Boussh helmet - great idea.

Hey all! seems like the last time I posted was in 2018... oops! I graduated college this past year and have been getting back into figure collecting again. Anyways, merry (late) Sithmas with my first custom in a long while.
There were quite a few unwanted TVC 3rd sister figures gathering dust on the shelves of my local target so I decided to snag one for a reduced price and create an inquisitor of my own. Twi’leks are my favorite Star Wars alien race so of course a Twi’lek inquisitor was my first choice.





Recipe:
Body: Reva (Third Sister) TVC
Head: Shakka (Watto's Box) E1C
Neck Peg: Ahsoka Tano TCW



I painted Reva’s neck with Model Master’s “International Orange” to match the head’s orange skin tone. It’s a bit too shiny since I only had a semi-gloss so if anyone has suggestions for mattifying shiny paint I’d appreciate suggestions. I sunk Ahsoka’s neck peg into the Reva neck and drilled the Shakka head to fit. The neck mobility is limited by the head tails, unfortunately, but that’s kind of unavoidable.



I completely repainted the face to make it look more “sith-like”. This was my first time repainting a face and I did it with some Model Master “Flat Black” and a carefully whittled toothpick point. Very Tedious!

I hope you enjoy! Glad to be back

I am telling you I was not a fan of the character, but this AF has the potential to make so many awesome Sith Customs. Your face work on this girl is amazing.

Off to the front pages and welcome back!

Sure nice to see you back! I was thinking of doing someting similiar, so kudos to you. I think the black face details turned out fantastic, definitely worth all the tedium. She looks appropriately "sithy" - excellent job.

Hey, sorry for my late reply! It's been a busy start into the new year! I think you did some true magic on her headsculpt! It's great to see you posting here, again! My biggest congrats go out to your graduation! I'm still at college, which keeps me busy.

I'm happy that you've found some time to get back to the hobby! I was just looking at TVC Reva. Hasbro's brand team did a phenomenal job on this figure, which leaves many possibilities for customs. Maybe some day I will get a copy myself and see if I can turn it into a character from the Bane era.
Thanks for sharing your custom! I'm looking forward to seeing more!
Best wishes from Germany!

My dad created a really cool B'omarr Monk custom that he wanted me to share with y'all. It's based on the original concept maquette made for Return of the Jedi. This version differs considerably from the final design, featuring fewer legs and an absence of the bulbous piece on top for a less spider-like appearance. He added additional details to the figure using random parts to better match the model and gave it a nice black wash.



here you can see photos of the original model:

Thanks so much for all the kind comments! I'm glad to be back

That's a pretty cool design. I like the modifications a lot. Congratulate your dad for us.

Wow, great Monk figure. Your dad has some awesome talent too.

Off to share on the front pages.

Twi’lek figures are the focal point of my collection, as evidenced by my customs. This Twi’lek Jedi from the 3 pack is one of the only male Twi’lek figures that’s been made, and while I think the headsculp is quite cool the figure had next to no articulation, which isn’t good for posing and displaying at all. I decided to transplant the head onto a pre-existing Kit Fisto body I had in the fodder bin, and he turned out quite posable indeed!





This was my first experience with Apoxie Sculpt, and I absolutely love it. I sculpted the neck and ball joint and dremelled the head to fit:



To finish it up I painted the neck and hands and touched up the head with a mix of Model Master acrylics.
