Time to take this to the pages. Nice work.

Nice job! I really like how Tahiri turned out.

Thanks guys, next up I have some 6in work I did for a customer. First I made a Return of the Jedi Boba Fett with removable helmet. I cut the neck from Jango, and put it on Boba so the head, and Jango helmet fit right. Then repainted the Jango helm, and Boba body to match his appearance in RotJ.

Attached a few pics, but there are more here if you'd like: https://www.facebook.com/DarthArmoressCustoms/posts/897972697000732

Second I sculpt on the scar on, and painted a Jango head cast for Commander Cody. I see why many customizers prefer to work in 6in, the details are way easier to paint on like the eyes, can use a brush, and not like needle points on 3.75in.

I really like that removable helmet Boba Fett. So wish they would do that one and release it. Nice work. Your Cody is good too. Off to share.

Sweet ROTJ fett! Out of all the manufacturers making 6" figures none of them make an ROTJ Fett.

Thanks JDeck, I noticed that too, I think it's because empire is the more popular movie, but then again I think the toy style preference switches over time. Looking a my collection, the only empire version I have is super articulated 3.75, and 6in, everything before that is the RotJ version. So maybe in a few years we'll get one? I don't see why not, granted I'd like a professional version to retool the gauntlets, and belt, but a repaint would be a cheap repack that would keep figures moving for Hasbro anyway.

Thanks Tamer, I hope Hasbro makes something similar too. Hasbro should be able to just replace the ball joint for the Boba head, and the Jango head would fit. From there just cast the Jango helm in another color, and paint it accordingly. Would be a nice filler figure rather than some of the silly figures, and repack choices we've seen over the years.

Boba Fett and Commander Cody both turned out really well. You did a fantastic job painting the Boba Fett. I can totally see what you mean about details being easier in 6 inch. The scar on Cody looks really good.

Love the clones mate and the heads really sell these.

I so agree, I don't see how Hasbro doesn't have the same clarity. At least make removable helmet versions of all the troopers.

Thanks Starchaser, I'm still pretty amused by my paint on the Cody head in comparison to the stock Hasbro one on the Boba, the eyes really bring it, where I actually do the same detailing on the 3.75in figures eyes, but sadly even in hand one can hardly tell.

Thanks Tamer, and Ron, hopefully Hasbroken will do more, and up the caliber, I'd be more inclined to buy if the heads looked more like mine, not into this price goes up, quality goes down crap, especially when the Marvel Legends line has quality.

Thanks Foxtrot Delta, I really appreciate it.

I give you all Haazen from the Knights of the Old Republic comics, neither Jedi, nor Sith, but aspiring to be something more! Haazen's design has always intrigued me, and with a Terminator figure I felt it was time to bring him to life. He's a shirtless Darth Maul with the arm, and legs removed to be replaced with Terminator parts. The arm in the modified socket, had to cut the arm off, and drill the pin out, but the legs are heavily glued on, fully moving yet firmly attached. His head is an ep. III Anakin with some more hair sculpt on, the shoulder plates are sculpt too.

For anyone interested, he's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-KotOR-Haazen-3-75in-figure-sith-mandalorian-darth-jedi-EU-/351898132467?hash=item51eec35ff3:
