Well look at that a six inch custom Black Series figure in Spry's house customized up! Needless to say it looks fantastic. They all do. Off to share.

Happy New Year Spry.

Awesome work once again spry!!!  i really like the bo shek figure and would have never of thought to try using a soft goods for the  harness  an excellent touch !! I may just have to redo my upgrade again  lol!!!!

[darthdaddy]

Definitely want one of those Gonk droids in my collection.  The Bo Shek is just awesome.  What parts did you use?  I thought I was happy with my Hasbro release until I saw yours.  I've been doing really well resisting the urge to collect the 6" line except when I see the Greedo.  Always hard to resist that one.  Good thing you weren't the one in charge of applying the paint apps or I'd already have a Greedo sitting on my shelf.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Greedo is a great figure! My only complaint is the large OVAL eyes, they should be circular. The figure is amazing other than that and I just didn't want to resculpt those eyes. Thanks guys!

Hello friends, I have been out of work with all of this artic weather. So I have been working on a few figures and a new environment for a few of the 6 inch figures. I didn't intend on picking these guys up but after seeing the Sandtrooper then Greedo over and over again, plus there is nothing else at retail to buy, I caved. I don't plan to collect the entire line but I will cherry pick the ones I really like. They are great display pieces and look great on any shelf. So next up is the Sandtrooper. Great figure but just a few details need to be adjusted on this guy. I started by lowering his backpack, it sits way too high on the figure. Then I thinned down the strap that holds the ammo pouch and followed up by repainting everything. Notice that a Sandtrooper has grey tears on his helmet not lt. blue.

So now I am looking for 4 more of these figures so if anyone has them to trade let me know.



In my opinion each of these 6 inch figures needs a small environment to be displayed in. I am starting with a Cantina booth for Han and Greedo, yep, just picked up Han and he is fantastic! I have been doing mock ups out of cardboard to get the proportions correct then moving on to all wood construction. Why wood? Because this is designed as a large shadow box that can hang on the wall. I am out of shelf space so this was my only option. Figuring out the chairs was done by trial and error and took 3 adjustments to get to what I feel is just right. I cut out 3 pieces of wood and glued them together as a base to work from. Then I sculpted the details with Aves Fix-It sculpt.

Now I just have to make a mold for the chair and it will be ready for casting. Today I plan to start on the table, that is going to be interesting...

[Tamer]

I love it all. Great looking white pauldroned Sandtrooper.

Those chairs are just works of magic. Man, you ought to make more of those and make tons of money. They look just perfect.

I really like the idea of a shadow box dio for this too. I can't wait to see how that all turns out. I like seeing this custom work in wood as I have been known to dabble a bit in that myself. Making those chairs out of wood and then using aves to put the detail in the middle of em was just smart.

Off to share.

[JediMerc]

The 6" dio seats look great!  Perfect shape, nice, straight, clean lines on the seat cushion.  The alcove you are putting together is off to a great start too...looking forward to seeing this come together.
