Ukko´s Custom Figures
« on: January 06, 2013, 04:34:33 PM »
Hi guys! Happy new year to all!

Today I have a good surprise. But first, I will tell u a little story...
"Some years ago (2005) I´ve made a custom of Han Solo to a friend of mine. He´s a big fan of Han Solo and Indiana Jones (I think he´s a Mr. Ford fan actually  ;D) and have a very impressive collection with figures of both characters, but he was sad because there was no old version of Han. So, he asked me to do it using a Sideshow Han figure as a base. We chose the 12" figure because of the oportunity to put more age marks in the face of old Han. Some time later in the work process, I did it. That was the story so far..."

Back to the surprise, I received a post recently from one member of the NextMovie from MTV and he told me that this same Old Han was selected to the 25 fan arts list, created to talk about some personal visions that fans have about the Episode VII (project announced by Disney).

The site with the NextMovie list: http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/best-star-wars-disney-episode-7-fanart/

Thanks again to the NextMovie team!!!  :)

So, I want to share with you part of the customization process.

Now, the first part of the customization: THE BASE!!!


In the beginning we decided to create age marks and put more hair with beard... and we chose the Dr. Kimble visual to guide us.



Then, isolate de body with plastic to protect it from eventual damage and the aging process begins...















Well thats it. It was my first 12" custom. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I made it back in 2005 !!!  0/

Wow. You look like you can make anything! Some of those prop replicas, dioramas, custom figures and vehicles just blew me away. I can't wait to see more of your work!
