Update:  July 9, 2011:

Made a few more customs.....

R5-D2 from Star Tours, a binocular R5 unit:







M-3PX, for my JAWAS OF DOOM!:











A Black Death Star Power Droid:



And some Updated Tonnika Sisters:






And here are some older customs.........










Hey everyone, I've recently joined ISY, and amazed at all the incredible talent and artistry, as well as kindness over here!  I've been at Rebelscum for a while, started out at Forgotten Force and Curto's alliance.  I used to customize figures, way more, but have been devoting my spare time more to dio building, but it all leads to custom figures at some point again!

My most recent was an updated G-3PO, which I noticed in a wide shot of the Hoth Hanger, at the beginning of Leia's pep talk....








I had done one years ago:


  

But decided he needed an up dated paint job:




And I called him G-3PO, the G for green, since I thought he looked a bit metallic green in the crappy photo I had at the time.  Well, now, with a better photo, I still think he's a bit green, but not metallic, and idpullthecurtain thinks he looks bronze.  So I updated the old figure with a bronzy/coppery/greenish look, for my Hoth Diorama.

     


He looks perfect with this Astromech, though I consider him and "R4" Jedi Astromech, and  a bit too "prequelly":




Anyway, I've done a couple of figures for my Hoth Dio, and plan a couple more in the next month.  Here's what I've done so far:

Toryn Farr





K-3PO




Light Up 2-1B




And here are some older customs, from Hoth:











And here are some random custom figures I've done in the last year:

12" scale LIN-V8K









Yavin Ceremony Han





Dagobah Arrival Luke.....(Before we knew Hasbro was doing him!?!)





AOTC  C-3PO







And Here are some of the more popular figures, I seem to have received the most comments on in the past:
















I have a bunch more custom figures over at Photobucket as well, if you are interested:  http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/Custom%20Figures/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ36


Well, that's it for now.  Looking forward to spending more time over here, now that I'm getting used to it all......

You've got an awesome portfolio of work here!

I really like the look of the R4 droid, the damaged K-3Po, Mosep, and that smoke screen around the hookah on that last fig.  Really strong execution on all of these!

Looking forward to seeing more of the same; welcome to the Yards!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Haha, wow as always.  ;D Did you actually insert a light into the 2-1B droid or is it lit from underneath?
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.

Very nice work!  (I see what you meant about G-3P0, before you did the touch-up...  It does look quite better, now.)  Anyhow, welcome to the 'Yards, and keep up the amazing work!

Yes, these are my current incarnation.  I'm working on two more "up to date" versions.

The hair is a braided thread I found at a fabric store.  I'll be using the same technique for my newer versions.
