these are a few customs I've already done,one is the mando I've shown you guys with a few added accessories,and two are just simple headswaps,which I suppose is still a custom  :-\   :D lol(I LMAO when Ratfink said on the podcast with Lucusclones and Tamer some people don't consider a headswap to be a custom)maybe their not hard customs,but some figures are meant for just that,like TVC RFT,if you wanna army build,you can't have the same face on every guy(clones are an exception to the rule obviously lol).I've been working on a few customs,and I really want to show everyone them,but I won't put them up until the photos look right.I want you guys to be able to see my custom figures the way I see them,clear and crisp photos will help with that.basically I'm just working out the bugs with my photos,so that means there's a lot of trial and error in the picture taking dept.I'm a bit of a perfectionist,but I'll settle if it's the best that I can get,if that makes sense to you guys.so this is just to see how these pictures turn out after I post them.
anyway this first one is my Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight

this next head swap custom you may have seen in the battlepack I put together.Her name is Leeadra Kortu.she's a High ranking Imperial Officer(i'm writing a cool backstory for her now).Her head is from the EE joker Squad female Stormtrooper.well I really felt she had on way to much make-up,and was to good looking to be a stormy,she looked more like an Imperial Officer to me,so I just did a simple headswap and she looks much better this way.the dark womans head now sits on the female stormtrooper body.let me know if the backround looks to busy.does it take away from the figure itself?I'd rather draw the eye to my customs then to the backround.this is just another photo test.do you guys mind viewing these in the email format?it makes these customs look so much better then having to shrink them like I have been doing,so these are my two best options as far as photo resizing goes.it may take up more posts,but i'd probably end up taking less shots this way,if I know they'll come out good.thanx.

then of course I have my custom mando,which I just gave him a cooler jetpack,along with the pre visla saber,and boba fett cape.accessories make all the difference in the world if they look right on a figure I think.now that I know these photos came out well,I'll try posting my better custom figures on here tomorrow,but I'll wait to see what you guys think about the backround,and format I've gone with.I have my own Ideas,but your opinoins mean a great deal to me.thanx.

I can't believe I just found this thread--better late than never I guess, right? Great stuff JMT! Really liking Kell Malric (awesome name too!) Love the bandoleer holster! Also I admire your ability to keep a clean work station too! I just cleaned mine up and organized it recently. Looked like a bomb went off in a Death Star trash compactor down there haha. Keep up the awesome work!

Oh, my frikkin SWEETNESS!!!!

Kell Malric ROCKS!!  I grabbed an Embo specifically because of that pauldron.  Great work on your female officer, as well.  I need to get one of those Joker Squad chicks so I can copy her head.

As for pic-taking, my personal preference is to go with something without writing on it.  I like to use a ... "nondescript" background like some of HB94's diorama walls - darker background for a lighter fig and lighter background for a darker fig.  I'm also NOT a professional photographer, so most times I'm happy to get a pic that shows my figs!
