More customs
« on: July 01, 2012, 11:20:56 AM »
Hey everybody ! Back again and i know its been a while but i have been busy doing some customs. Fire up are some very simple customs some you all may have seen but i wanted to try my hand at them as well.  first up is a custom a wing pilot which was originally , Ten Numb in the B-wing outfit  . Next up is Ponda Baba with the Gentile Giant mini bus head and pin stripe on the legs. Then i wanted to pay homage to the vintage death squad commander in his grey outfit and my first attempt at re carding him. Some Bespin Guards.  Now i saved what i think is the best for last and that's my version of Grand Moff Tarkin. Now I am sure we all agree we hate the cloth part of his tunic so i changed it up as some might have seen. But i went a little further and for character like Tarkin he needed to be a little more realistic so i painted his face  and hands . So i will let you all be the judge . As always i welcome your comments and constructive comments.  Be back soon with more Enjoy

Awesome update. I like em all, especially that grea fix to Tarkin. I don't know why they would give him those soft goods.

I will say I think that mix might look good on the new Bespin Leai that is coming out though.

Awesome work man! Love the Tarkin, and the  plastic "skirt" looks 100 times better than the cheap cloth it came with.

Great update, I love all of them! Tarkin looks great! You should try taking you pics with more light and turn the flash off. That will get rid of the glare and showcase your work even better.

Hello All !  Back Again With a few more figures i was able to do in the spare time that i have. Right now as you all have seen all my work is right now just based on the original trilogy
now don't get me wrong i don't dislike ep 1-3 but as most of you can agree the originals hold a special place in the heart.  OK First up A pair imperials. I liked the sideburns so for the 70"s look
i think it worked.  Next is Danz Borin nothing really big on this guy but i to would like a complete cantina one day. Third we have a wedge in battle of Hoth outfit i repainted his helmet to be a little more accurate. Next UP is nik sant. I liked, and always wanted this guy because he stood out with that beard. lol  Now finally i would like to first say that Luke sprywalker  said it best and i agree that we should've had a seargent doallyn figure already. He sure had more screen time then Pote Snitkin lol. But i made him as a nod/ tribute to Sprywalker not to copy and yes i sculpted the helmet . I respect his work and wish him the best at CVI  So thats all for now ENJOY My next post if all goes well should good untill then  all the best to you all

Mr Jedi, stellar work buddy! each one looks great and adds a lot to your collection. Love seeing the Nick Saint and really love seeing Sgt. Doallyn! Great job on sculpting the details and the helmet. It is actualy a bit more screen accurate than mine! He really looks good man! Great job on all of these!
