Topic: Koths Kustoms

[koth]

Hello. I have been a lurker on ISY for a while and placed a few posts and I am finally able to offer up a few of my customs for your pleasure and criticism.

As much as I love Star Wars the Clone Wars figure line was interestling but not an area of collection for me. So, a lot (not all) of my customs are CW inspired.

I love head swapping, and am getting into better paint techniques and try the odd bit of sculpting with varying levels of success.

Here's a couple of my most recent completions, but I have an extensive back catalogue to offer




Barriss Offee from 'The Wrong Jedi'
This was my second attempt, the first being a poor sculpt with milliput. I think the 'hairband' is a bit too small in comparison with the real thing but I wanted to accommodate the size of the hair.

Wow, that facial work looks spot on to me.

Welcome to ISY and your first post is on the front page and our facebook page.

superb work mate welcome to ISY!

Gordon Bennett! front page first time phew!

Just to clarify, I don't want to overblow my talent it is a VC Barriss head with CW Boba hair with a bit of milliput round the edges.
My sculpting is not THAT good.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hi there
Here's my favourite customs recently Asajj Ventress in Teth outfit and Asajj Ventress in Dathomir outfit



I finished Teth a few months back but only added the 'back' recently, Dathomir, however was my favourite to do and the fastest custom completed in about a week. Had a bit of trouble with the skirt (Ahsoka VC) but it turned out good. These are my two most favourite customs above my Clones.

One final one for now: Savage - Maulquest



Built up the eye a while back but forgot what colour (Yellow, Black, Purple?) it should be till I rewatched the episode again the other night.

Looks good to me. Back on our facebook and front page.

Beautiful job!!! I really love that Dathomir Ventress   and I've wanted to see a Savage like yours for a long time!!! Keep up the great work!!!  

[koth]

Cheers. The Dathomir Ventress was a beaut to create. It culminated from the paint job on the Teth version. Plus the fact there was a good deal of Ventresses on Fbay. I didnt know what else to do Savage. If I can find a robotic arm I'll make the next one.

Can't wait to see that Savage when done!

Here are a few of my cloneheads! I'm trying to broaden the look and make unique. These are base painted Cadian Fleshtone.



 (l-R)
 Teth trooper - Stubble,
 Kamino trooper - whitening temples,
 Keeli - I replaced Jays original CW head with a cast from Sithhappens (sorry Jay)
 Waxer version 3 - cast by Sean Hunter
 Ganch - modded VC45 sculpt

 Here's an older pic of Slicks troops. These are just touched up!!!



 Jester, Slick, Punch, Sketch

 I have done Gus and Chopper since this photo was done but they need a redo as not happy with their fleshtone.

I have a good selection of SW customs anyone care to suggest what they'd like to see?

great job on the clones

Hey, I missed this. Looks good, time to go share.

That top picture would make a great Facebook background!

Great job!!!  No slight on anything, just an observation - #3 and #5 look like variation on George Clooney.  #5 reminds of "Oh Brother, Where Aret Though".  And #4 looks like another actor I can't quite place.  Again no slight on your work.  What's interest is that it goes with the idea as clones grew older and achieved their own personalities, I would believe that slight shifts in their facial structure or basic look would exist.  Hasbro has variations (ie standard clone a few years ago vs. the Vintage line or even the standard clone trooper vs. galactic clone trooper) but I very much doubt it was on purpose.  More likely in how helmets fitted on to the different types of figures.  Anyway, just my thoughts.  I do utilize the different head sculpt idea in a couple sets of clones I have.

Cheers JediMinstrel. No offense taken. I'm actually quite pleased you think they look like someone. Mind you if I tried to make them look like anyone I wouldn't be successful.
I'm trying to get my troops just to look different given my favoured troop is the VC15 (?!? I think) trooper with hip joints, the last phase 2 trooper before the VC45 long legged mold.
So the head I have in abundance is the Jay alaagaya head. In completing Rex's head I accidentally shaved off his bottom lip so he has an interesting expression!
