general pong krell wip (ran out of putty,5 packs off ebay on order)
CW13 phase II captain Rex was a major disappointment to open up,now has articulated wrists,removable helmet and head and soon the knee's will be fitted then detailed with inks & dyes

galen marek mandalorian,bespin outfit

cannot justify spending £30 ($50) on a figure i can make better for less

marek's knee plates are the same as on montross/mandalore.......wrappings covered with putty to make into boots.
mandalore figure cost me £3.50 each for 3......another will become mandalore the ultimate eventually
thigh plates will be created using the dremel to form outline and milliput to raise plates .4mm above undergarment.
upper torso will be from a $3.99 jaster mereel.....wstoys got loads so i've grabbed 4 to tweak.(armour piece pictured used for starkiller pilot oufit)

[mr.Jedi1977]

really good work  ! And yes i do like  especially the sith ... AWESOME

[benjani_1976]

thanks Mrjedi........ stryfe is giving me pleny of strife with the tattoo's,but he'll be a great addition to the sith collection when he's finished.

As will the nautolan......shame that a lot of krayt's sith don't have names to put to faces.
starkiller on page 11 coming along better than i thought,half expected the t shirt and folded lapel to need several attempts.

[Luke Sprywalker]

WOW! What a mother load of awesome custom figures! Very nice work on all of them.

[benjani_1976]

thanks mando/DO/ART/Spry..........mostly just WIP but all going to plan,a few probs with Krells arm joints but i just found some old RC 1/12 car spares that'll fix him.

Earlier today I tried out some brass ball joints on a Darth Optimus inspired MK Raiden and they worked a dream,I may need to post it in hints and tips.
here's my raiden wip....taken 3hrs so far

parts:-
legs and lower torso - modern storm shadow I believe (ROC???)
upper body - saga legends obi wan kenobi
head - VC Qui Gon Jinn
4mm dia Tamiya/Koyosho brass ball joint secured with epoxy putty (milliput)
conical hat formed from milliput,small sheet of thin polythene sheet placed inside cone mold,putty pressed and moulded to shape,sheet removed once putty cured solid.
