RADIONIXON'S CUSTOMS
« on: May 12, 2012, 01:30:32 PM »
Here is the recent progress on the Bespin Luke Skywalker I'm working on. I'm currently working out a solution for ball jointed wrists. PM me with any suggestions/advice on peghole drilling.



Hope you like it. Stay tuned for more updates on this and other Figures.


Figures Coming Soon:

Ultimate Dagobah Landing - Luke Skywalker - The Filth and The Force
Complete Attire ROTJ - Han Solo - From Encased Carbonite to Endor Combat

Great work on Luke - he's always been my favourite character, and the Bespin version is on the top of the pile!! Brilliant and welcome to The Yards!

That is a great looking Luke! I agree about adding wrist articulation, you could use the new ROTJ Luke hands. A guy tthat goes by Blasterman uses a lego lever in the arm and dremels the exact size circle in the hand. Good luck and welcome to the yards!

Thanks, Spry! I actually have the new Jedi Luke hands in front of me right now. Trying to think of the best way to dremmel out a new peghole now. Hoping someone will send me another pair of the Luke hands though!

My view on basically what I call revamping the definitive version of a already produced  hasbro character,is to make every aspect look as good as possible.For Exp:The new vintage collection Bespin Han Solo ,he's so close to being the definitive version,only he's not,reason being is 1st: he's scene specific,and his left hand is preposed in a lame position,which means you'd have to do a hand swap to make that look good.2nd:His holster dosen't wrap around his leg like it should,so now you have to find the han solo that does have that holster,and do another swap,and last:The head sculpt isn't the best.Hasbro can never quite get down the 3 main characters head sculpts to look like the actors.They're getting better with Mark Hammil,but they never can get Harrison Ford or Carrie Fisher right for some reason.My point is,your on your way to making a good bespin luke,and the hand articulation is a great start.that's my 2 cents lol.Good luck,and can't wait to see the final custom.

When the new Bespin Luke came out, I gave this one to my son...and now you go creating something awesome from that sculpt that I can't do anything with.  

How could you? ;)

Only kidding; welcome to the Yards!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Great looking Bespin Luke! Really like the updted face sculpt, how did you handle his hair? I now understand why you where looking so closely at my palace Lukes hands!  ;) Let me know if you still need thos VC Luke hands.
