thank you bugskirt.i really like your customs too.i appreciate all the positive feedback.i love doing this hobby,but it's about expressing myself through my art.their not just custom figures to me.it's showing off all your skills in this medium,which should be takin somewhat seriously.of course it should always be fun,and enjoyable for all as well.

It sure looks good to me too. Duros I do believe and in TCW Style. I bet TCW fans would buy this in multiples if they were ever to do it. I also have to admit that when I saw this I though that the next incarnation we see of Bane I bet has him in an outfit like this.

Opa Ren looks awesome. I can pick out some of the parts you used, but some I can't.  Would you mind sharing that recipe?

not at all buddy.
Opa Ren recipe
Head:duros
body:clone wars Cad Bane.neck was cut of,and i used a dremal to hollow out the body so the duros head would fit it in place.
arms:clone wars Embo
waist belt:cad bane(cut off the holsters,then sanded to be smooth)
blaster holster:clone wars Padme Amidala
upper legs:Cad Bane
lower legs/vest:Han Solo
so after he was assembled,I painted the head,and arms the same color.I used a yellow,and blue paint mix,but i used more blue so he wouldn't be so green,more like a teal.I also painted the boots a flat black just to have an overall custom look.I painted the lower legs,and the upper half of cad bane's pants a brown color to match.so you basically need the clone wars Cad bane,Embo,Padme Amidala(you could sub her holster for something else I'm sure),Han Solo(any),and the duros head.very simple,but effective,and I like using clone wars parts with real style star wars figures.gives them a slender look,kind of cartoon,and real mixed,which I love both genres so it works for me.hope that helps.

Nice and lanky... just like a good Duros should be!

Love the chaps he's wearing.  They give him a real Space Cowboy feel!
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Han solo Concept
« Reply #205 on: January 31, 2012, 12:58:11 AM »
custom concept Han Solo WIP.needs some paint apps,and maybe a few added accesories,and if i had a spare new lando i'd be inclined to use those legs insted of these with no articulation,but i don't right now,so i'll go with these till i find another lando.i'll give you guys the heads up when he's done.Enjoy!

wow! great stuff!

that Nihilus is great and deserves the full five of these:
 DH DH DH DH DH

really like the han solo and luke.  They have a great Marvel comics style vibe!

Only a humble suggestion on the luke, would be to give him a beat-up Luke style helmet, and the regular saber.  The way you have it is awesome, but a weathered-up helmet and the old man's saber would be *perfect* - you might try to pull them from the recent ESB Pilot Luke.  Like an alternate Marvel style, and very EU circa 1977!!!  Like something Al Williamson would do... I LOVE IT!
