WOW. I love those KOTOR figures, especially Bao-Dur. Looks exactly like the game. And those clones and Nomi Sunrider are fantastic! Welcome to the yards!!

Thanks again for all the welcomes and the comments.

I really like doing clones and mandos the most for some reason.

Jedi are ok, sith are more fun.

The kotor jedi and characters from both the games and comics are a lot of fun cause they are so different from the norm, and there is a lot of freedom with some of them.

Here's a couple more I've done:

Cad Bane




















Jedi Master Tholme
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tholme








Quinlan Vos





Plo Koon-tcw version





Flight trooper- BF2




I was happy how this came out.
I completely by hand painted the 501st symbol, usually my hands shake too much for such clean looking details.

PHENOMINAL CUSTOMS!  I am really particular to the Fordo, and the 501st Jet Trooper.  It might be a bit late, but Welcome to the 'Yards!

The realistic style Cad Bane is top-notch. Hasbro should take a look at this figure

Man, those really rock! How about a recipe for that stunning Cad Bane?

Here's my recipe.

Well the coat is from a dreadknock, with the mullet, from a few years back, the boots I made myself.

The sabres are supposed to be his boot rockets, those wonky sabres are the closest thing I had too them.

The under shirt I sculpted on top of a tac jango body with kneadatite.
The upper collar is made again using shrink wrap, heated and then cut and glued to fit.
The gun belt is made from two jango holsters, shrink wrap, green metal wire and glue.
The legs are also from tac jango, cut down a bit for the correct height.
The boots were made again using shrink wrap and cut an glued together over boots from some general target or trus military figs boots.
The gaunts are from evo pack jango
The hands are pilot obi-wan from rots
The hat was made using a tattoine luke's hat and Kneadatite and the cut to shape.
The coat was cut down and weathered, taken from some dreadknock
The head is a figure from the cantina scene from the power of the jedi line
The head tubes are from the mcquarrie leia back pack

A lot went into this bad boy.

Again thanks for all the awesome, welcomes and comments.

Here's some mandos:

Bardan Jusik



Venku Skirata





This custom is a very old one. I actually had a friend send me a message once, because this custom was featured on a german star wars site. Unbeknownst too me might I add.
Mandalore the Great











This is my fully articulated Com Cody-before hasbro made one.....







My take on the Jango Fett we should have gotten

Wow, I love that Mandalore the Great. Heck that Cody looks sweet too. I will be honest, the new one's hips remind me of an armored female's anatomy and this one looks much better imo. Wow, I just love the RC series figures too. Nice work. Expect front page treatment tomorrow. We have a policy here at the Shipyards, GOOD CUSTOMS MAKE THE FRONT PAGE PERIOD.  I just have to slap Clint's hands every once in awhile or he won't let me beat him to the front page when figs this good show up.

Lol, thanks Tamer.....

When I got the hasbro fully articulated lameity that is their cody. I was totally let down that a company that makes millions of dollars can't make something better than a poor slob, with three kids and a wife too support.

The head sums up the stupidity of that new cody.
Couldn't they have used a different head than the rots head?

No beatings of any one on my account. ;D

Thanks agian for the honor of letting me hit the front page, I really appreciate it.

To TCC- Thanks for the compliments. The venku is special too me for a lot of reasons. But the most important reason is the fact, that I actually was talking to Karen Traviss through email one night, and mentioned I did a custom Venku.

She was very happy with the way it turned out. She even sent the pictures to someone she was friends with at hasbro.
I saved those emails, just to reread them, and know that an author of stories I loved, appreciated my handy work.

Shame that everything she built, is now totally destroyed.
