Wow, this one is fantastic. I love the image with the helmet on too. You have really captured what I envisioned this character looking like. Off to share.

What a great custom! The attention to detail is great and the use of parts from so many different figures - wow!

Darth Optimus' Custom Nerdery! 03/07 NEW! STEAMPUNK-ISH CUSTOMS
« Reply #1069 on: March 07, 2015, 10:26:51 AM »
Thanks, guys!  Here are a couple of steampunk-inspired customs.  Nothing too fancy, just kitbashes, full repaints and "cut and paste" jobs.

Steampunk Robocop!






Steampunk Iron Man!






Thanks for tuning in!

The steampunkish figures are cool. I like the mechanical look of steam/dieselpunk. Two thumbs up!

Re: Darth Optimus' Custom Nerdery! Dec. 2016, ENTER THE WASTELANDS!

So, hello 'Yarders.  It's been a long while.  I don't really do SW customs anymore.  I've moved onto my own 'verse, which is "The Wastelands".  It was inspired by the "Mad Max" franchise (especially "Fury Road"), but is not limited to it.  The Wastelands are populated with monsters, mutants, warlords, demigods, robots...pretty much whatever I think is cool.

With that, though...my first custom in the "Wastelands" is "Mad" Max Rokatansky, former Main Force Police officer.  The look is a gestalt of his movie looks, with artistic license.  My timeline takes place shortly after "Fury Road", with Max liberating a car and motorcycle from Immortan Joe's motorpool and heading out.  The cycle "stows" in the passenger side of the car, in-universe.  The rear of the car has been modded to house all manner of removeable gear and equipment.  All of Max's gear is fully removeable, as well.

As always, thanks for tuning in.

Welcome back. Too bad you dont do much star wars any longer. I understand with it almost being impossible to find fodder. However, i Love the wasteland theme. Myself and a fellow customizer are doing a similar project. We like the whole acid rain, threea style figs. These customs of yours are pretty B.A

First off, ditto so cool to see you back.

Two, don't forget we love all kinds of customizing here not just Star Wars. I know we predominantly promote that and we do like it a lot, but for me it is so refreshing to see new genres and takes on themes like you have done here. Let me go share this before my internet time leaves me this morning.

So hope you continue to share what you come up with.

Thanks for the love.  The car is actually a remote controlled vehicle from "The Fast and The Furious" line.  I kept the internals so it still functions as a remote controlled car.
