Thank you, Starchaser, DarthSinister and Tamer!

Next up, a couple of simple headswaps (with some dremeling and gluing for good measure). Perhaps I should call these ongoing additions the "Hasbro Should've/Could've Series."




Lastly, an upgrade to the softgoods on Zuckuss...

Awesome work on 4-LOM (I'm very old  ;D), a great nod to the Kenner figure.

The headswaps on the Luke figures look great too. Which head did you use?

What material did you use on Zuckus?
I like it.

I also like the Hasbro Shoulda/Coulda idea.  Simple fixes should be a separate thread on ISY with that title.

Thanks I-am-Boba-Fett, Tamer, and halnarthax87!

Mr. Black, the Luke head is the Medical Frigate (bathrobe) figure.
 
The material on Zuckuss is a faux fashion leather, Sjefke. I think the color is "Nubuck."

I'm in the process of recreating Yerka Mig from the ground up to replace this outdated late-90's custom.



After completing the face paint, I think it's going to end up looking like Sam Jones (1980's Flash Gordon). I guess I'll live with that since I certainly don't want to have to paint a different head.

Trying out a new finishing technique. I know a lot of people use Dull Coat but as I got back into customizing I wanted the pieces to fit in with my off the shelf figures (in so much as is possible). This time around I'm using a brush on matte varnish. Despite it being labeled as "matte," it's not really flat but not as shiny as a gloss finish. Interestingly, some parts of some figures were still slightly tacky feeling - which leads me to my new experimental finishing agent: talcum powder. Now I have a small ziplock bag of talc which a shake any tacky pieces in then brush off the excess. No sticky finish and my finished pieces now smell baby-fresh!

Decided to throw my action figure trailer on YouTube for the heck of it.

Awesome video, I have not time, but I had to get that on the front page.

I am so behind again. Real life rears its head again. Daggone real life!

Don't you just hate it when real life interferes with the stuff you want to do? It's the primary reason it takes me so long to finish a custom.
