Topic: Starchaser's Custom Thread

[My kind of scum]

I love this newest guy - I have to admit that I stole the recipe.  I hope you don't mind...  I've enjoyed looking through the rest of your photos as well.

[Starchaser]

Not only do I not mind, I'm quite tickled that the recipe worked for you. I was just checking out the yakface competition and saw what you did. I smiled a big smile and shared the post wih my wife. Then I thought I would pop over here and leave you a note - and saw you had posted. Thanks for the shout out, I really like the upgrades and additions you made to the figure, really pumped it up a notch.

So glad that you liked it!  It really was a great combination that you came up with.

More nicely done figures.

A new part swaps:





I was looking through the old Tales of the Jedi and the Egyptian look caught my attention. I had this "Merk" figure from the Mini-mates Battle Beasts series with the "hieroglyphics" on the hood. Good base for an avian species Jedi I thought. Then I saw a Clone Wars Ki-Adi-Mundi hanging in a vintage toy shop and thought, "that body is thin enough to be a bird." And voila, Assipter Pernin was born.

Love that look, as it's unique.  It never ceases to amaze me how creative some people get with their creations.

[Starchaser]

Thanks so much.

Another parts-swap custom:

Noirah Na - a character from the Dark Horse comics Republic: Into the Unknown; a Jedi padawan who survives order 66 and is counseled to go underground by Bothan Jedi Kai Huddora. My addition to the story: All grown up, she now goes by the name Ronna De’Ald and is a free-lance scout in the Outer Rim.






Recipe:
Head = Valor and Venom Jinx
Body = 25th Anniversary Scarlett
Cloak = Pursuit of Cobra Cobra Commander

Interesting, I love the avian species, reminds me of the Talortai. Just came across that species today while looking for interesting species to make. Nice job, and love the "Tails" Egyptian mix too.

[My kind of scum]

I like both of the new ones, but the bird species is really cool.

[Starchaser]

Thanks guys! I was looking at the Talortai today as a possible species, but it didn't quite feel right; I thought about Calibop and Tasari also, but for now he's just going to be an unnamed species. Really glad you enjoyed them

[Tamer]

I like that Avian Jedi. Off to the front page.

A couple more customs:

Since they made the S.A. Naboo royal guard, I've wanted to put the original (5POA) head on the new body. Well I finally got around to it. A little paint and liberal use of the dremmel and I've got two distinctly different Naboo royal guards:



I was inspired by the yakface bounty hunter custom challenge. I know Mandos are popular (and I like them too), but I love the many other bounty hunters especially from the early EU like Star Wars Galaxies. One hunter I've always been intrigued with is called Andov Syn, whose real name is Nariss Siv Loqesh. He's a Kerestian bounty hunter who declined to join the famous six on the Executor. His back-story is recorded on Wookieepedia (I included a reference image below):





Recipe:
Head = Fimbul, Warg rider (The Hobbit) with paint and Kneadatite applications
Torso and arms = random clone trooper
Legs and belt = Clone Wars Cad Bane (version 2)
Patch = construction paper and embroidering floss

Nice update. Off to share.

Another great update well done.
