Simply incredible. 99 definitely did a lot to humanize and bring that sense of family to the clones. You've done him justice sir.

Aw, it's shorty! Sad little character he was. And yet he proved his worth in the end, to the point I wasn't sure whether to feel sad or happy for him since he just seemed so happy to do his part in battle. I can't imagine his figure would have sold a lot had they made one, so I'm glad to see some customs of him. Your recreation of him is just perfect.

Thanks everyone.  I was really happy about this figure.  I think it's the first custom action figure that I've made that I have a sentimental attachment to, although I have no explanation for why.  I never had a figure come together so smoothly and so quickly (three 8 hour sessions).   He came out exactly as I had envisioned.  I wish all my 100 % sculpted figures came together so smoothly.

Haven't been on the Yards in awhile, but I had some time to kill and just went through your entire thread. Your customizing skills are superb and you are an excellent sculptor. Wish I could sculpt like you, but really enjoyed looking through all your customs. Keep up the great work! Really glad to see you bring out Custom Clone Wars figures that weren't made by Hasbro. Awesome work!

Thanks Butterfingers!  I can't take credit for all the figures in this thread.  A fair amount of the figures were made by my 10 year old Elias.  He even did the head sculpts for Yoda and one of the Palpatine's. (the best one).  I'm actually a beginner at sculpting.  I only started when I began customizing action figures.  I just dove in head first.  Sanding what you sculpt to refine what you have is the key.  I didn't know that initially, my first sculpts could use a second go round.  I practice as often as I can.  Your compliments mean a lot!

Here's another one from my little guy.  He spent two days working on this one.  He only finished the torture rack so far.  He hasn't gotten to the droid itself yet.  After seeing Chewie's version, he wants me to find some wires to add to the figure.  He's vacationing in Mexico so I had to post it for him.

painted by Elias




He made the 8D8 droid too!

You and your son are very talented. It's great to see you two sharing and creating custom figures together. Hope to see more from you!

Very nice work---again---Elias!  You and your father have become quite the dynamic duo of customizing.  Good to see you both still coming up with great projects and turning out awesome customs.  The torture rack is just another in a long line of great work!
