Topic: Jackoftradze Customs

I got this from Oscar (thank you btw) and figured I would start this fine customizer a thread just so we can use it for reference. If anyone talks with him and he finds this offensive please let me know and I can delete it. I am going to try and contact him myself, but for now I would think I wouldn't be offended if someone wanted to show of my work so I am starting it.

Those look cool, Shawn! This guy needs to be here.

Dad knows him pretty well.  His name is Michael DiBartolo.  He's the customizer that got Dad started with our customizing hobby and helped us a lot when we started our blog.  

You can contact him at: jackoftradze@gmail.com

We have a two videos featuring his work both in our "Customizer Spotlight" and our "Customs I Wish I Owned" section.  Both videos are worth checking out because they are very different.  JACKOFTRADZE liked Dad's video so Much he uses it on his blog.


To see the videos you can use the following links:

I actually just got another custom made by JACKOFTRADZE in the mail yesterday.  I still have to put it up on the blog.  I'll give you guys an exclusive sneak peak!

Good idea Tamer,I know he has his own custom website,but why not showcase his stuff here.JackofTradze is one of the first artists I looked to for refrences on how to make custom figures,so I hope he's not offended,and tries to post some of his own stuff on here for himself,even though its tough to post pic's at two sites.here's one of my fav's he's done,and if I had a seconed Revan(mine's still MIB)I would love to make this figure for myself.

I say great idea Tamer! He is a great customizer and I have seen some great pieces on ebay and at Customs for the Kid. I heard Remco say JOT had made Shae Vizla and now here she is! We used exactly the same parts! Even the back pack! If only he had the photos I got from SithFire30 he would have turned it over so the cylinder was on top. I did select a different head atleast. haha Very nice work and I would love to see him join in the fun here! He is a very talented artist.

I love all of his work, like JediMindTrix said he inspired a lot of us younger customizers. Including others..., I first saw his work on thecustomalliance.com I believe.

[Mandalore the skepsis]

I used to talk to him a long time ago when I first started making customs. He's a good cat, and does good work.

[Art deWhill]

WOW, this is great dope!
have to check his website - and of course I think its a good idea to showcase his customs here, otherwise I wouldnt have learned about his work

Jackoftradze is an awesome guy, great customizer and I have been a fan and follower of his work for a couple of years now.  I hope he doesnt mind this post.

This is Definatelly a great idea Tamer, and i am sure this will be a very hot topic page to visit, his work is always outstanding in quality and always looks great, not many custumisers out there can produce a vast selection of characters week after week for the past 5/6 years. I have been a massive fan and followed Micheals work for about 4 years now, and have been lucky enough to have some of his customs in my collection, his Sith customs are just Awesome and i have about 40 of his sith customs. I hope to see him join ISY soon as he would be a great asset and a top bloke to talk to.

Here are some of Micheals AWESOME Sith Customs.

[Mungo Baobab]

WOW!

Awesome customs!

[CaptainLux]

Awesome customs!

I have tried contacting him through a few various places and have not gotten back a reply yet. I would be ok with this so until I hear otherwise we can keep this going. The guy does great work for sure.
