Yet, again I'm late to the comment party...but now I can leave my thought about all of your recent
One Sith customs:
Darth Talon: Thanks for your answer! I'm going to customize a Talon based on TVC's Aayla Secura. That's an interesting intel about a cancelled Maul game. Makes me wonder what else was cancelled. Gaming has become quite frustrating when it comes to Star Wars. But that's a different topic. Looking back at your Sith Collection is nothing less but mind-blowing! It's amazing what you can do out of the figs in your fodder bin!
Darth Wyyrlok: I can imagine that those Sith tattoos are quite challenging. But you did a great job on them! When I first saw your post, I already wanted to comment on it, but it has been a little rough lately. The reference image is shown right on top now and when I first saw the second reference image and then I scrolled down to the picture you took, I thought this figure was pulled off right from that reference image. Perfect execution I say!
Darth Maladi: Now, that is some impressive work on her head, face and costume! Your work on softgoods is truly impressive. You made her costume look sooo good and even maintained the articulation of Back Widow. That's a figure, which I couldn't find in 3.75" on ebay Germany. I think those MARVEL figures were quite rare here anyways. I love the tattoos on her arms. You did a splendid job on all of them! Her lightsaber looks interesting as well. The blade must be from Kylo Ren's sword, but is the hilt as well? It looks so exciting, but I'm not sure if it is Kylo's.
She looks so awesome next to Darth Talon!
Darth Nihl: Well, this one impresses me most sculptingwise...and I don't even find time to sculpt a lightsaber hilt for
the custom I found on ebay!
You pay such close attention to detail and I think you did a better job than Hasbro back then. I mean a custom based on a Boss Fight figure is an advanced start already! I think it was a great choice also because Mr Nihl was said to be a tall guy and B.F. figures are a little taller - perfect 1/18 scale.
But your sculpting skills are something else. I mean his hair just looks so good. It's my favorite detail on him and I think you made the right choice. The armor you sculpted for him looks perfect, too!
And much respect for the paintjob on his face! I'm beyond impressed by your work!
Thank you very much for sharing your customs with us! Looking at Darth Wyyrlok gave me some nostalgia of the time when I read the books about Darth Bane and his masters of the Sith Academy.
I like how you make some of the most expensive figures on the secondary market as custom figure and they look even better than Hasbro's versions. Isn't that what customizing is all about if Hasbro don't saturate the market? That feeling must be awesome!
Much respect from Germany!
