Alright, so my Samurai Vader is pretty much done and done. Sorry for the bad photo but my cats broke my lamps I use to light my pics. I'm pretty happy with him, but as long as the recipient of this figure is happy I am thrilled. Needless to say now that I've made one I want to make another. This figure is built off of a vintage Anakin Skywalker, but if I have another go I will probably use a Joe. There are so many ninjas that would make a good base, but the Anakin base keeps at least some semblance of Star Wars.

Haven't been around much. Busy with work and life stuff. Plus the customs I have been working on are just making more of my Shadow Troopers and I figure since I've already posted a pic of a previous batch it isn't worth posting more of the same. That said I am posting another version of a previous custom, simply because I thought it was such a cool custom when I made it I wanted another. So, I made myself another clone sniper. The one on the right is my original and the left is the new one to join the ranks

Love the look of the cloak on him.  Gives it a really authentic feel.

Those clone snipers are really nice looking. I also really like the choice in cloaks for them. It looks like there's armor under them.

So, I made a custom Sith coming up on two years ago. He was one of my first attempts at learning customizing. I decided to take him apart and touch him up a little bit. He's essentially my attempt at a custom Revan, mainly because I don't have a Revan figure but refuse to pay the obnoxious prices being asked on sites like Ebay or Amazon. Gave him some back up too

I like your version better. Back on the front page. Yet another reason we need to keep customizing as I don't blame you one bit for refusing to pay those prices on ebay. Of course when you can create like you can, that does make it easier to pass. :D

Here Here!  I agree.  I must admit I have bought my share of expensive ebay/amazon figures but still.  I have a Revan in the works.  Can't wait to share him.
