Topic: Mr. Black's customs: K2SO repaint for charity

[Bronxstalker]

Thanks man!  Most of the time I add these lines in the final stage of curing. I nearly always need to sand down the sculpted parts, so I make the lines a bit deeper than they need to be. After sanding, I clean up the lines with an old tooth brush and go over them once more with a scribing tool.

When you say scribing tool, do you mean like a dremel?

[Tamer]

Wow, that looks awesome. It looks even better on the front page.

[TheIRISH Rogue]

Wow!! That's incredible!!

[Mr. Black]

Thanks for the feedback and the fp post!

No, just a regular scribe tool. It's basically a pencil with a metal point.

Awesome Zallow!  Love the detail to your sculpts. 

[Mr. Black]

I made a small addition to Ven Zallow v4:

Satele Shan is coming along nicely as well. Feet and hands will be replaced by more suitable ones and I need to touch up the hair a bit. Very happy with how she's progressing:





Version 5 of Ven Zallow is also in the works. Here's what he looks like so far:





Thanks to Vortious Custom Accessories, I now have a couple of Stocos' Sith Acolyte head casts. I've been asked to make such a character (a.k.a. Sith Lord Adraas) as a trade for the big Slave I vehicle, which I was looking for.





Add to that version 6 of Ven Zallow, which I will start with one of these days, as well as another Adraas figure. Then there's the dozen personal projects, which will remain on the backburner for a while longer.


And since I'm so good at starting projects, I have decided to make a custom figure of a dear friend of mine. For which I have just received a handful of Playmobil cats. These are in a close anough scale to 1:18 action figures.

[Tamer]

Wow, loving that Satele. Time to drop a mountain on ole Malgy! Off to share.

[Bronxstalker]

You know I love your sharp lines on your sculpt work.  Awesome.

That lord adraas is going to be hot.

[Mr. Black]

Another long break, but now that summer's over I have picked up the pace again. First up is a custom action figure of a friend of mine. This idea just came up a while ago and once I started working on the figure, it came along just perfectly. She has three cats, for which I used Playmobil cats. I'm happy to say she was very pleasantly surprised by my gift

[Tamer]

What a great gift idea. Looks great Remco. Off to share.

[Mr. Black]

Hey guys, been way too long Hope everyone's doing alright. Due to private circumstances I've had to step away from the customizing and collecting community. Unfortunately that also meant I had to put my commissions on hold for the time being. I just wanted to say that my clients are very understanding for which I sincerely thank them.

Things are looking up though. I've recently moved and am currently quite busy remodelling my new place. On top of that, my new employer has offered me an open ended contract, which is a great certainty for the future.

I am very much looking forward to Celebration Europe III in London, this July. And I expect to be back in the customizing and collecting game by that time, too. Packing up my collection and customizing projects really made me realize that Star Wars was, is and always will be a very important part of my life.

I'm anxious to get in touch with all of you again and to contributing to the Yards.

[AjuntaPall]

Everything looks great

[Tamer]

Good to hear your doing well Remco. Thanks for checking in.

[Stronox]

Wow!!! Great sculpting!!
