Thanks Clint!

I don't know about you guys, but when I'm sculpting I always mix up too much Fixit to use on let's say Ven Zallow alone. So while I was working on him, I figured I'd start another couple of projects that need sculpting. First up are these two versions of Grand Admiral Thrawn, completely based on the 'poorman's customs' created a long time ago by fellow Yarder and Scummer DarthSinister. If you're unfamiliar with that work of his, do check out his threads at Rebelscum. Not only did he create these renditions of Thrawn, but he also made a range of SW Marvel characters.

This is DarthSinister's digital custom:



And here's what I got so far:



Head casts are from Starwarsgeek. Got some Comic Pack Thrawn head casts on the way from DocOutlands, though. I'll try out different head casts to see which captures the stature of a man like Thrawn best.

Holy cow! Those look great! They look exactly like the old photoshop customs I did. You nailed them. I can't wait to see them completed. Are you going to dye the soft good on the away mission Thrawn and if so with what?

Very cool, I'm honored my friend!

Wow, these are great Remco. Very tough looking. Love those concepts of DS' too.

I would think that new Captain America Red Skull figure in trenchcoat would make a great body to use for one of these too.

Off to the front page with this.

Thanks fellas  ;D I'll just paint the trenchcoat with diluted black acrylic paint or Games Workshop black ink. The figure itself will get a nice coat of Chaos Black spray paint.

The trenchcoat figure is the German motor cyclist from the Indiana Jones line.

New custom in the works! Mr. Vos this time, based on his appearance as his undercover alias Korto Vos.

Finally a little update. Lots of things got in the way of customizing these past few months, but I'm back. Got some catching up to do on commissioned pieces, amongst which these two. I can only say thank you to my clients for their immeasurable patience.
