Thanks everybody!  I really like when Elias and I work together.  Really like the concepts he came up with.  The Wookiee hat and hairstyles were my little embellishments.

Looks great.  Is the dancer's body that of the infamous "cankle" Leia?  If so, did you somehow narrow those ankles?  Or is it the fact you painted them to look more like shoes simply giving the illusion of a much better proportioned figure?

Yep, it's the Leia from the Xizor comic pack, but with the Slave Leia feet, a VOTC Zam Wesell head and the hair extensions of a CW Padme Amidala.  By making it look like boots, the ankles didn't look as fat.

Guys this is some of your best team work to date! Talk about customs I wish I owned! I love each and every one, great parts and finishing touches. The grand pooba hat is excellent! I love what you are doing with wookie torsos this season. The trip to the salon for these ladies really was worth it, they have some great hair styles. Well done gentlemen.

Wow, this is great. Look for it on the fp soon!

Happy Easter!

[darthdaddy]

Thanks guys.  I love doing these team projects quite a lot.  Although Elias has his sights set on striking on his own and doing the independent customizer thing.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

Dad and I were just playing and we came up with a fun way to diversify our Zombie Geonosians. The limbs all pop apart very easily and the sockets were all the same size so we made a few Geonosian abominations to spice up our play.

looks like you are having fun

Nice geonosian zombies!

[darthdaddy]

Yeah it was a lot of fun

This week was really overwhelming and I didn't get any work done on the blog at all.  So to keep things rolling along I just posted two extremely easy customs that would be great for a beginner customizer to tackle that require minimal paint application and only slight modifications.

Also great news for our fans, Wookielover1138 and Kessel Run Imports have agreed to give Kessel Run Review a permanent home over at Customs for the Kid when Season 2 begins.  It's great to team up with them to help promote all the incredible artistry that the Star Wars customizing community keeps pumping out.  To read a short piece about them and their show check out the feature we put together over the weekend at:

Thanks everyone.  I was a little shy about putting these two up because they were only very slight changes.  Glad everyone liked these two.
