Topic: spuda's customs 2 (update: older ahsoka )

[spudafett]

Since my previous figure thread got so long... This is my second one.  

and leave it to me to start this thread with a crazy new mando custom...

currently he's just a WIP.  so far I've got it worked out that he's a Mando.  He's been injured by a jedi in the past (hence the mechanical legs) and he seeks revenge and retribution on all jedi for his disfigurement.  He has specially custom made armor that is made of cortosis metal which is impervious to lightsabre blades!!  He also keeps the sabres of the jedi he's killed as trophies, his most prized trophy hangs on his belt and belongs to the jedi which cut off his legs...

Cool custom. So does he have lightsaber skills of his own?     

[Tamer]

Daggone, those are some killer legs and feet! Sweet idea Devin.

 hey isnt beskar lightsaber impervious too , oh yea cortosis shuts  lightsabers , good thinking . i love the bronze armour , may i steal it for my mando custom?

[spudafett]

I'm not finished with him yet... it's so funny about forums... here you guys all said you liked the feet, the other forum I posted it on didn't like the grevious legs and feet. lol.

wattoh the bronze color is probably not what I finish it with so you won't be coppying anything.  Right now he is unpainted and un-finished so I've got to decide on a color scheme on it.

I figure this guy would be semi-force sensitive so that way he'd be able to wield a lightsabre more evenly against jedi... maybe he has some sith training?  maybe I'll paint him up with sith tats?

mando-sith ahhhhhh ... trained by dooku for the seperatists

I would like to think the artists on here know how to appreciate imagination as well as great fan fiction and we don't necassarily think a person has to stick to straight SW to achieve that. Still the Grievous legs I think would make a great fear factor addition and help continue the legend of General Grievous.

[spudafett]

to be completely honest I used the grevious feet mainly because the new grevious' legs are sculpted with a joe style double knee joint that just happens to fit PERFECTLY into the lower knee joint from a joe leg.  It was a simple transfer to the new legs by popping out the lower peg in the grevious leg and reinserting it into the lower peg hole of the joe's knee...

were I to use more "human" like lower legs from a star wars figure that uses the swivel-peg knee joints then the process would be much more tedious...

that and I also think the legs have a "fear factor" about them... they are quite menacing.

Thats is so cool!!!

I was thinking of trying to do something like this.

And I love the bronz color!!!


Great figure, can't wait to see the end result!!

A mando-sith would be very deadly!!

[spudafett]

shamed by a jedi who dismembered him instead of killing him he is fitted with cybernetic legs and trained in the teachings of the dark side... he regains his honor by killing the jedi who maimed him and took the jedi's lightsabre as his first, of many, trophy sabres.

[CloneSniper78]

Sweet!! But I don't think Luke would get his  butt kicked that easy...but maybe he would by this guy!

[Clonehead]

Spud, I love it! You are being completely yourself starting a new custom thread with a killer mando. I like the idea of a maimed mando out for revenge but like the idea of a force-bearing mando even better. The Maul-ish tat paint apps to his skin bring it over the top for me. This one deserves a front page story and I will probably do that tonight after I get home from work.

[spudafett]

Sweet!! But I don't think Luke would get his  butt kicked that easy...but maybe he would by this guy!

he was the only jedi figure I had on hand that I havn't completely dismembered....

and thanks alot clint.  I had originally had a maul head on this figure but felt that it looked too much like the "cyber maul" that was in the EU comic pack and decided to go with a human head... but I still realy liked the sith tat's and thought it'd be a fun figure to test out if I could paint anything even remotely similar.  The tat's on the underarm parts came out looking kinda crappy but luckilly for the most part you won't see those! lol

[spudafett]
