Clonewarsfan2011's Customs
« on: July 04, 2014, 12:13:36 PM »
Hey Guys! I'm new to the "Yards" and also new to customizing. Here's my first ever attempt at customizing...

He's a clone wars ARC Trooper i kind of made up as i went along so he's not based off of any existing character although as i am a 501st fan i made him those colours.

I used a captain rex as the starting point


Then i repainted his hair brown and gave him a beard


Then i painted the lower parts of his legs silver and painted blue "501st" markings all over the figure



With his head back on


I then painted up the three ARC parts i bought from clint


And then it was completed







Let me know what you think!

I like it! Especially the way that the head looks with the beard, and I like set design on the armor.

Niiiiice arc. If that's your first custom I can't wait to see what comes next! Great job! I tried to make something similar out of the same figure.
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.

Well done! You have taken your first step into a larger world.  :)
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.

Hey Guys! Its been a while but im back with a new custom! I still have the parts left over from the 2 figures so Im currently using them to create another custom jedi. not based off of any characters its simply just to use up the parts i have laying around. so as i said in my "sneek peek" post i was going to make a custom Jedi Master Ima-Gun Di so here is! Let me know what you guys think.







And also, heres an update of the custom jedi. The white armour pieces are eventually going to be painted a gunmetal grey.

Thanks Tamer! and finally here is the finished un-named jedi! I used the hood from the Nikto guard to give him a unique helmet too!

A nice little bit of kitbashing there worked good.

Nice job on this guy. I think the "helmet" modification worked really well.

Here's what I'm going to be making next! Just awaiting on the base figure and some other parts to arrive! It's a concept art of clone trooper echo after he "died" at the citadel. In what was going to be season 7 of the clone wars we find out he's not actually dead but he was captured and had robotic arms and legs put on and was used for an algorithm that showed the fighting strategies of the republic. I love the look of this guy so decided I'm going to make a custom figure of him to add to my collection!

Love the double range finders and the lobot looking head. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
