[darthdaddy]

Not really sure how to post my latest custom action figure or how many of you are familiar with the Star Wars fan film "Makazie One" written and directed by Clutch. Set in the Star Wars universe during the time period between Episodes III and IV, the story is about an elite soldier that has been sent to track down and destroy a known threat to the Empire through intense ground battles and haunting imagery of death that surrounds the environment. The unsuspecting enemy to the new Imperial order has no idea what he is up against when the two finally meet for an action packed surprise ending.

When I did the post over at the blog, I did a video for the action figure I created and I also embedded the fan film into the post as well.  Since we can't embed video into the threads and if I post all the images of the figure I'll be posting some spoilers, I recommend you go to the blog to see the full post where you can watch the film and see what I did with the figure.

Wow, just got done watching Clutch's video. That was cool.

[Luke Sprywalker]

[wraithnine]

[Commander_Kurgan]

Love the fan film and your custom is amazing!

[JediMerc]

DD, I also saw this fan film about a year ago (or so)...loved the tone of the film and your fig is simply phenomenal!  You've captured this character right down to the kama and grime...simply, simply awesome!

[wookielover1138]

Wow, what an awesome film and an amazing custom as always DD The weathering and detail looks great!

[darthdaddy]

Wow everybody, you sure know how to make a guy feel good.  I'm going to be closing up this thread.  I remember reading somewhere that it's bad for the server if you go over 50 pages in a thread and since we are just wrapping up year one of the blog, I am going to open a new thread for our second year.

I like the "[YEAR ONE]" title.  I expect to see the year in review.  Not that we can't just start at page 1.  Maybe you could get all the customs together and take one giant picture.  Just a thought.

I'll try and take the picture soon.  The figures are packed in several different places and I have to be sure I can get all of them.  Here's a video showing the year in review to hold you over.  I pulled a bonehead move and forgot to put the Unhooded Jawa in the video so I just used him in the post as the header image so he wasn't completely overlooked.  

Here's what Elias wrote about the video and our first year:

"So we wrapped up the first year of our blog last week and we figured it would be cool to put together one of Dad's videos to show you all how we spent the first year. We started the video off with the beginning of our journey. Like most customizers, we started off with simple repaints of existing action figures. We then moved onto painting up kitbashes that we had assembled. Dad wrapped the year up by taking a huge leap as he experimented with sculpting his own figures and accessories. It was a lot of fun and we went from being only beginners to starting to become seasoned customizers. It wasn't always easy, but the challenges had their rewards. Hope you enjoy the progression of our craft from its birth to the close of our first year.

Hope you all enjoy our Star Wars custom action figures."
