Rancor Scat Customs: newbie Customizer from Canada
« on: August 06, 2013, 07:40:24 PM »
Here's one of  first attempts at customizing. A chop and pop Aqualish Jedi. I thought it funny and ironic to use a walrus man figure and made a jedi out of him. Especially giving him a keno I lightsaber as a cherry on top.
Now he's ready to join the ranks and fight the good fight.

Here's my attempt at creating the other Duro Cantina patron. Pretty simple other than getting the right torso that would accept to head of the Duro. I made the scarf/collar thing out of an ewok hood and gave it a touch of paint. Overall I'm pretty pleased with how he came together.
Cheers!

A random Sith Lord . I was originally planning on making a Darth Maleval however I preferred the tattered and roughness to this guy. I also chose to forgo the traditional Sith Tattoos as I thoroughly like his overall red skinned look. Reminds me  of a boiled lobster . My story would be he became a Sith Lord because of his anger over being boiled alive.
Cheers!

I've seen several kickass customs done by a few amazing customizers on the net who have come up with this type of guy. I liked him so much I thought I would like to try it out myself. Gladiator Gammorean Guard. Made from  a hulk figure.
Fully reprinted, all armour metailisized and aged. I'm very pleased with how he turned out. I may resist him a bit though. Might wanna change his sword scabbard a bit but that's it.
He looks kickass taking on the Rancor. Thank you to those who came before me with their creativity in developing this guy. Please take my working off your  amazing customs examples as a compliment. It's how I'm learning.
Cheers!
Chris

Here's without a doubt my favourite as well as my hardest custom to date. This guy was taken back to start several times until I was somewhat pleased with him.
Overall I'm very proud with how it all came together including the custom base I made up for him.
Here is my little lord of Pain, Darth Sion

Time to join the ranks

One of my first customs. Finding out that if you turned the head around on the one figure you got another intrigued me to no end. This is the one that started me down the rabbit hole. No where even close to the awesomeness of the recent one by customs for the Kid (they got skills) but overall I'm pleased with him as he was my first.  I think the idea of adding some soft goods for the cape will really make this one better. But for today he's good.

Figured Darth Sion needed a tattered cape to go along with his already bad ass'ness.

Well summer has kept me away from playing and puttering on existing projects. However I did manage to finish up this guy last night. I have at least a dozen or so troopers eagerly waiting for their turn to get similar treatment. I want to make a hoard of them as well as a diorama of a busted down ship.
Here's my first stab at a death trooper. Enjoy!
