Here's some more customs that I made from around Christmas... and others for some customizing challenges.


Order 66 Survivor - This was for a past Yakfinities, but I also plan on using her in a photonovel, at some point.  But I think before that, she needs some more work.



head - Marvel figure
torso - Hobbit figure
biceps - TVC Barriss Offee
forearms - Hobbit figure
hands - TVC Hoth Leia
skirt - ROTS Shaak Ti
legs - Evolutions Bultar Swan



Naboo Citizen - For a past Yakfinites.  Nothing too hard about this one, and not very detailed painting - I'll just use her for background diorama filler.



head - Pirates Elizabeth Swan
rest - POTJ Queen Amidala



Bounty Hunter - For the Rykrof Enloe photonovel series!



head - revealed in the next chapter
helmet - tACJango Fett
torso - TAC Jango Fett
arms - TAC Jango Fett
holster - TAC Jango Fett
scarf - GI JOE Dusty
legs - fodder bin mix/Evolutions Galen Marek



Assassin Droid - For the Rykrof Enloe photonovel series!



parts - random HK B.A.D. pieces
scarf - random soft goods



Gamorrean Guards - For the Rykrof Enloe photonovel series - always thought Gamorreans were the coolest guards in Star Wars after Stormtroopers, had to try something with the TVC Gamorrean but wanted to stay true to the look from Jabba's palace since so much EU shows these guys looking similar when working for different factions.  I tried the "wet" trick on their soft goods but it formed back up - I'll try again with something else to create the wet/nasty look later.



helmet - Indiana Jones pack-in piece (removed crest)
rest - TVC Gamorrean Guard




Han Solo - The crafty pilot of the Millennium Falcon... back for one more round of action against the Empire.  This was for the EP7 custom contest.





head - Indiana Jones figure
torso - TVC Colonel Cracken
legs - TVC Bespin Han Solo


Falcon Gonk Droid - The Falcon is getting older, and one thing Han knows is that a power backup is always a good idea.  So he keeps this trusty droid around and has for years now.  This was for the EP7 custom contest.



body - TVC Target Gonk
eye - IG-88 shoulder


Imperial Space Trooper - During a trip to Coruscant in Episode VII, Han Solo's ship is ambushed by an Imperial cargo ship, which after disabling the Falcon, deploys a group of Imperial Spacetroopers to board Han's ship.



body - Legacy Spacetrooper


Imperial BARC Trooper - Han is forced to land on the remote world of Dathomir, and the Imperial Remnant swiftly sends a team of troopers to find  him... including a group of Imperial BARC Troopers.  This was for the EP7 custom contest.



body - Legends Scout Trooper
head - Clone Wars BARC Trooper


And for fun, a pic of Han with the Gonk and his loyal sidekick, Chewbacca.





Mon Calamari and Human - For a past Yakfinities.




Mon Calamari
head - TVC Admiral Ackbar
hands - ROTS Meena Tills
rest - TVC Snaggletooth

Scruffy Human
head - Thor figure
hands - TVC Endor Rebel
scarf - DFT Tusken Raider
satchel - fodder bin
rest - TVC Dr. Evazan


Here's a photonovel-esque pic too:





Snivvian Skiff Mechanics - Locals hired by Jabba the Hutt to uphold repairs on his Tatooine skiffs.



Snivvian #1
head - TVC Target Snaggletooth

And finally, a custom for the "Smuggler's Gambit" contest that Darth Daddy was promoting.

Man that is another BOAT LOAD of sweet plastic crack! As Clint said, you have one amazing collection of figures with the number you have made. You ever considered giving us a few group shots? How do you display them?

Wow, words cannot describe. I don't know where to start, they're all so good. So I'll just go with Invisible Woman Jedi, very cool. And that paint job on the Amidala figure to create the Naboo citizen.

I just fill them into various dioramas like the scene below:



I don't do anything elaborate with the customs... that's the only "scene" focusing on them and it's nothing spectacular.  I just fill the others in here and there in cantina scenes, street dioramas, etc.   I also have around 100 or so of them boxed up right now due to space constraints.

Oh, and everyone else -- thank you for the kind words!  I'm blown away!

I'll also be posting another photonovel chapter really soon.
