Topic: My 1/12 custom figures thread

Wow, this is one fine custom! I really like the color of her suit! Don't worry, if you click on the image it is rotated automatically. So I could view it upright - looks awesome!

[Darth More]

I agree with JDeck - excellent recipe! Never thought Mr Zuvio could be this useful! Outer Rim Traders keep impressing me! Those 1/12 parts look great!
We also work with grey wax to sculpt crowns in our dental lab - it gives the best contrast! So your grey primer makes the details of your kit-bash pop in full depth! Cannot wait to see how you paint it up!

First off, once again, I am so sorry the smf forums format is giving your browser and device fits. I know how frustrating it can be. I am at a loss as to what advice to give as I know smf is not very "phone friendly"; I am just assuming you are using a phone here.

Your custom looks great and I am off to share it on the front pages. I see you have a custom vehicle too so I wanna go check that out.

Shipyarders, for those who mainly use their phones, can you give Jay some tricks to use to get his pictures posted?

[Tamer]

Wow, just saw this Hera too. She just looks fantastic. I gotta admit, I like this look on her better than her main look on Rebels. Thank you for sharing her.

And I don't know why the smf forums inverts the pics like this (for the thumbnail), but it will show it in the right format and orientation when you click on it.

Off to share this on the front pages too.

Holy Bantha, your Gotal's head alone looks stunning enough to blow my mind! His eyes look so vivid! You got some serious painting skills buddy! Just wow!

Duros Rebel Pilot, Archive Luke body, head cast from Outer Rim Traders.

Rodian Rebel Pilot, Archive Luke body, Head cast from Outer Rim Traders. This was actually the first custom I ever attempted. So, that explains why the hands are not correct. I wanted to just get the feel of the whole thing at first before attempting to articulate, the whole"boil and pop" sanding for paint rub and the knee pins omg them knee pins at first!

Female Rodian background character, but with articulated hands. Head and hands cast in flexible resin by Outer Rim Traders. This was built using a Jyn Erso.

And Hope. Simple headswap from a Marvel Wasp figure. On to a more Rebel color painted Jaina Solo figure. I did matte spray Hope's face to tone down the glare.

JV-P12  hvac droid. 3d printed by Corey Fryia at Sandcrawler Customs. I removed the printed antenna and replaced with a brass rod, I also used a ball from a sewing needle and glued it on top. The front bar was not included, that is also brass rod that was bent and glued in place. Citadel and Vallejo paints were used. Streaking grime and rust streaks by AK interactive.

"Manny" as in Manny Bothan died to bring us this information! I believe this was my third full on custom, not counting heads purchased from someone else or model kits taped and rattle can painted. L.E. has been begging me for years to come to the custom side. I had too much self doubt, I'm not an artist and I just sat here on the fence lurking in awe at all the talent here and everywhere else, somehow he got through and I jumped off the fence and finally joined in, a couple years ago.
       Manny is built on a Captain Poe Dameron body, I sanded the arms down to make it look more like he was wearing a shirt a vest instead of a jacket. And with that said Jyn who???( 😂just kidding Rogue One was FANTASTIC!)
