Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting new customs over on my blog.  The first seven or eight customs are mostly head swaps.  I'll post some photos here when I get to the more interesting ones.

Kolti Wan,

I think you are talking about the Jedi that uses the female Mando head from the EE set.  As for the WIP Mando, that one isn't done but I have another one that will be posted later this month after In finish painting his rocket pack.  I think I have it scheduled to post on 1/22.  I will post here at the yards when it hits my blog.  Thanx.

OK, after a week of head swaps and minor repaints, I am finally showing off some new stuff on my blog.

http://bugskirtsworkshop.blogspot.com/





So, what did I do on this one?  Originally, I intended to use a custom helmet but I couldn't match up the white paint I had access to with the white of the armor on the trooper.  Then I thought about giving him a standard removable helmet.  In the interest of expediency, I opted to go with a non-removable helmet.  The left hand is new and more suited to holding the barrel of the plasma grenade launcher.  I cracked open the lower torso and used a dremel to narrow the crotch.  The trooper may now be less of a man but he can attain a proper stance.  I also added a holster with a removable E-11.  A partial E-11 rests in the holster but can be removed if the trooper needs to equip that blaster.

For the next two weeks (at least), I will have new customs debuting on my blog.  I'll plan to also post many of them here in the yards.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the gun was from Slayer Design Studio back when they were Tri-Gate or perhaps earlier...  I doubt it is still available.  The scope is also from Marauder as is the E-11 at the feet of the trooper.

Nice work, I like how you "fixed" him so he could do a proper posing stance.

Bith Hipster

This one is mostly Joe parts with the head from a Cantina Band member and hands from Tion Medon.  I recommend this combination for anyone interested in making a Bith custom.  The Cantina Member hands are simply far to bulky IMHO.

BTW - I really wish Hasbro would update the Modal Nodes. 



This figure might look better with some colorful designs on his clothes or with a jacket but I am too lazy to revise him at this point - maybe later.

More on my blog...
