Sprwalker,

SlayerDesignStudio get teh credit for that head sculpt.  I have no idea who it is supposed to be.  I just saw that it was a guy with a beard and that = Jedi to me. 

botwt - I don't remember which Spykids figure that was.  I'll see if I can track down the info.  It is probably from five years ago...lol

Thanks for all the support.  I can't wait until i finish my summer classes so I can start working on more customs.
We had 5 POA in '78...

ghostskull18,

The head is from SpyKids, the arms are from Agen Kolar (I think), the torso is from the Rodian Jedi which was one of the Target Geonosian Arena sets, the legs might be from Joclad Danva--also from teh Target Arena set.

This guy looks like the villian from Superman 2.... his name escapes me right now.  Great looking jedi all!

bugskirt,
nice job here...its fun to go on a "run" and do several of the same type of custom.  I think you did a great job with all of these, but as i'm not a huge soft goods fan, i'd have to say that day 5 and 6 are my favorites...color scheme's on both of those guys are solid.

If you can give me some tips for hiding the gloss from the decals I would appreciate it.  I haven't worked much with decals but I bet someone know a trick or two....

  I don't know if this has been answered yet in the thread, but if you use a little microsol while setting your decals, that should flatten out the decal itself to the surface. If that isn't enough, I know that Vallejo has a matte finish that might also be useful for finishing off your figure's head.

Just catching up here, Great video and love the first 2 Jedi. This second one is really great, I love that head sculpt and good idea trying the decals as tattoos. I would agree with KRI on trim workbut it may be too late now. I would put a decal on a generic figure, then put a drop of clear dull sealer from model masters with a brush. See what happens and if it works try it on your figure. I would NOT spray Dull Cote from Testors on it as I know it would cloud the entire decal surface area you cut out. It looks good in the photos and you may not even notice this displayed with other figures.

  Long term Testor's dullcoat will turn the decals yellow...unless they improved that formula in the last fifteen years. Not trying to be a shill for vallejo all of a sudden, but you really can't go wrong with a water based dull coat. Even gloss coats..Future floor polish is the best one out there..again, you can thin it's viscosity down with water and get great results that won't turn the decals yellow as they sit on the shelf.
