Jaina and Ben are looking good. I still can't wait to see Cade.

Jaina and Ben look awesome!  Perfect incarnation of Jaina in her flight suit, all rumpled up.  I like the PoP Dastan boots for Ben, a nice ragged look. 

I wonder if these two are now destined to be part of an alternate SW EU, especially if Disney does go "all new" for the ST...

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

Awesome work on all accounts Ray! I too love Colin's animated OT characters and may try a few with all the fodder I have laying around.

Glad that you guys are enjoying the updates! It is nice to have some customising time again & I'm trying to make the most of it!

Here's something that I've been playing around with...

Do any of you guys have a favourite old Kenner figure, loved, battered and beyond restoration? I had my Bespin Han Solo (the head of which went to my vintage Echo Base Han.)

I could toss the old body, then it occurred to me that there has never been a modern Bespin Han that I've liked (can't stand the skinny legs they like to give him.)

So from the depths of my bits box I give you a WIP, 'Hybrid Han'





I'm very happy with this custom, there's something about knowing that a large part of this figure has been with my since childhood. Hopefully I'll get to finish the painting on the morning...

WB Out!!

Here are a few new customs for you...

Jaina Solo (and one of her with Ben Skywalker!)



I love this version of Jaina, based on the Katabayunka figure.  (Forgive me. I CANT spell Japanese!)

What figure did you use from the waist down?  The closest thing I have is Ironman2 Whiplash/Venko from the Monte Carlo scene.

Hey Art & Shawn, thanks!

And as for the Ben Skywalker enquiry - I used a Prince of Persia figure for the waist down! :-)

Far too many WIPs at the moment, so here's a completed figure. It's my version of an animated style Luke Skywalker in Bespin Fatigues...







Thanks for dropping by,

Ray

Wow, with this and a Verpine Jedi I saw done up in an animated style today I am really starting to miss this show, not the Senate Episodes, but the character here is amazing. I would have loved to have seen OT Episodes done in this style. Look for this update on our fp soon.

Busy day here at Wookieballs Towers...

First up is an animated X-Wing Luke that I've made for my friend Colin, of Colin's Customs...









And here's a shot of the three animated Lukes I've made so far...



Next up is my hybrid Bespin Han Solo, this figure utilises the leftover limbs of my childhood figure that I couldn't bear to trash, the right foot still has the green sharpie ink that my mum put on all my figures!





Next up? Here's a first from me - a Star Trek custom! This figure is a custom representation of my cousin Matthew in his Trek uniform, I'm hoping to get it custom carded for him!



I'm working on a custom of his brother, William, as a Jedi as well! Now we move onto my slowest build ever, Cade Skywalker! Just got his tattoos left to do now!



And my final figure of this update? A WIP Firefly. Joe figures are pretty hard to come by here in the UK so I decided I have a go at making my own, with the help of Clint's awesome casting skills!!



Thanks as always for dropping by,

Ray
