LOL!  Very nice, Botwt.  Sometimes all a good custom needs is a headswap!

Well, both the Zuckuss and Boba models are back to normal again...hoping that I'll have a more serious entry for the next competition. :)

Sorry, everyone. I want be able to enter. *sigh* Thought I'd have enough time to order the desk, paint, and enter the fig here. Though I will finish my wip when everything is finally set up. Anyway, keep up the good work everyone!

Good luck, spud. Don't get lost in there and since you will be out of practice with a hobby knife, try not to lose a finger over the deal.

Was working on a new custom mando tonight, foolishly tried to swallow a large pill with very little water. Had to cough the pill out... nearly choking to death makes your hands pretty shaky. Using the hobby knife afterwords was a no go.

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

I don't know if that counts, but it is definitely a good model for a future custom Mando. However, if there were no scale limitations, I am guessing a life size custom is a valid entry.

Ha! The Creator has now become the custom! Great costume, though H really needs to tent the visor a little more. I can barely see your face.

Presenting one of my most intricate and detailed customs to date, Shae Vizla. Including parts from 4 figures, scratch built gun and many other bits, soft goods belt, I spent two and a half hours just on the helmet with mods and paint, repainted everything for her head sculpt and gave her rosey cheeks. With out further delay, THIS IS MY ENTRY!

Wow this has really turned into the female mando contest! Stunning work as always Spry! I love the pitted metallic texture she (and your skraepers) has! Really captured the likeness to the TOR character! Far better than anything Hasbro will release of her! Gotta go get a cup for the drool!
