Nice Mando! Reminds me a bit of Hondo Karr

Elias wants to thank you all for the comments on his Jedi.

Here's the latest post from the blog.  This figure was sitting on a shelf forever.  I sculpted the hair on the head, but never got around to finishing her.  While I restored the archives for our Customizer Spotlight, Elias practiced painting the body.

Taken from the blog:

To create this action figure, we used the Clone Wars Padme Amidala in Adventure Gear body and the head of a Leesub Sirln head that Dad modified with Apoxie Sculpt to give her a different hairstyle.  Every now and again the Leesub Sirln action figure can be found at clearance at Toys R' Us.  Since female action figure bodies are hard to come by, we always try and grab as many as we can.  Dad had me practice painting on this figure and then he added the finishing touches to complete the figure.

Thanks guys. I know Elias will be happy with your comments.

For anyone who is interested, I was interviewed on the SWAG77 Podcast this weekend.  I got to talk customizing, the Kessel Run Review, Imperial Shipyards, the upcoming customizing panel at Celebration VI, and Custom Action Figure News.  We even got to follow all that up with talk of the Hasbro figures shown at SDCC and talk about episodes of the Clone Wars from Season 4.

I couldn't find one.  When I talked with Chad this morning, he said he was subscribed to SWAG77 on Itunes ever since Jenn was on.  Maybe I can find it there when I get off work.  Where did you find the one Jenn was on?

Very cool Brian. I was able to listen while I worked today.

It was there for hers for some reason. I wonder if they changed their format cause they didn't like that? Not sure. I think maybe Jenn got it for me too. I can't recall. It was a good listen today though.

Dad threw this one together on the fly today.  Originally he was just going to hang out at the kitchen table with me while I created a custom.  Next time I looked over, figures were boiling on the stove top and Dad was at it.  He sculpted hair with Apoxie Sculpt onto the head of a Clone Wars Even Piel from which he also used the hands and lower legs along with the torso, arms and upper thighs of a Discover the Force Mawhonic.  The bandana around his neck is from a G.I.Joe Tunnel Rat and the back pack is from a Vintage Dengar.  The arm band is from an Indiana Jones figure.
