I am not into musicals... but, everytime I see great pirate inpired customs... that daggone song from Pirates of Penzance plays in my head... "I am the very model of a modern Major General..." - GREAT pirate gang... can't wait to see what the next installment will hold...
I love these pirates. I keep sneaking into Elias' room at all hours of the day to look at them. Lol.
Unfortunately, the next installment from me isn't anything fancy, but it's my entry for the
Hide in Plain Site customs contest. I have been making a custom a week for almost two years now. This thread is only the figures I made in my second year of customizing. Anywho, because I created the insane expectation on the blog of posting one custom a week, there are weeks where I show a custom that is fast, easy and approachable for a first-time customizer to bring more people into the hobby and promote the art. This week's custom is a quickie.
Taken from the blog:Nicola Acris"When Dad set out to create this action figure he wanted to make one that you could all create at home. The two figures he used have been found on shelves in retail stores for months. With all the repacks this season flooding store pegs, now would be a great time to treat yourself to a custom action figure and actually add a new figure to your collection for once. It's not like we are able to find any of the new Star Wars figures at retail. All he used was the G.I. Joe Renegades Tunnel Rat and the Clone Wars Cold Weather Plo Koon. The head and hands are from the Plo Koon and the rest is all Tunnel Rat. He painted the arms with a few coats of Citadel's Delvan Mud wash and the hands with Reaper's Earth Brown acrylic paint. Dad squirted some glue from the hot glue gun into the hole in Plo Koon's head so it would fit tightly on the head peg and still be able to maintain the articulation of a ball joint."
