Thanks everybody!  If it weren't for Peakob1, who knows when I would have started this project.  Really glad it's moving forward.  If only there was an exclusive battlefront style figure pack with Hondo's gang in it.

Based on the feedback I received on Peg Leg Piit, I guess I'll call her finished.  I wanted to make the braids longer, but I'd have to buy two more Hondo Ohnaka's for the parts.  Maybe when I have some molding and casting skills to put to use I can give her the quick upgrade.  These days I feel like every custom I've made is a WIP.  The more tools I add to my skill set, the more I want revisit older figures and spruce them up to current standards.  

Thanks again for all your uplifting comments.

I always loved that pirate episode and seeing them reproduced makes for some great characters to add to any custom collection. Excellent work.

Thanks Jules :D

This post just received a major update!! New Weequay pirates have now been added!

Head to the link to see the completed project. I'll add a group shot when I have all the figures and the extra pirate bike that I ordered in hand.




Check out these really cool new figures from Peakob1:

Yeah Chad (Peakob1) did such a nice job on these three pirates.  Elias is really lucky!  I'm going to try and post a group shot of all of them as soon as I have them here.

Seriously awesome customs, I love the coloration. They all really stand out and make a wonderful set of figures...

Yeah it was a lot of fun to work with another customizer too to get it done.  It would be really cool to see a contest where customozers team up to do a project.

customozers team up to do a project.

Now that is a fine idea. Perhaps needs to be fleshed out a bit, but I will put it in Spry's and Clonehead's hands to see if we can work out the particulars. We have a good idea what our next one (contest) is gonna be after our Hide In Plain Sight one, but perhaps the contest after this we can do this.
