Topic: StarAlien70's custom figures

[Starchaser]

Most excellent collection of updates! I really like the Luke and Leia Iskalon versions. Nicely done - there is so much good stuff from the comics! I think your designs for Shira Brie are great. I particularly like the shorter hair version. That crawler squad is great, but I'm anxious to hear more about the crawler itself. Great work!

WOW now that's incredible. Your KIT skills are top notch. Like 80-90's Joe  level. Most impressive. All the details are fantastic.

Word!

Off to the front pages. Wow, so cool!

[Tamer]

Marveling at this again. I love how mini-riggy the front end of this looks. I am reminded of the INT4 or the front end of at AT-AT. Just cool stuff. The greebly work is fantastic too. Just a great custom vehicle.

That is badass! I could totally see that rolling around the battlefield of Mimban.

Thanks for all your comments on the Swamp Crawler, glad you noticed the AT-AT resemblance, Tamer.
I'm posting more information on this in the custom vehicles' thread here:

Yepper its a great likeness. I was just visiting your other thread and noticing how you did some of that. Great stuff and back on the front pages.

Now that’s a formidable looking crew. Nice stretch trick with the jackets.
Your pics of the crawler and crew are perfect.
   I’m going to the vehicle thread to see what went into the beast.

Holy snotbuckets!  That swap crawler is fantastic.  I love the incorporation of the mini-rig.  Totally looks like something kenner/hasbro would have made.  Beautiful work.

Amazing work!

Great stuff, StarAlien. I am especially enjoying the EU Luke & Leia diver duo and their soft goods outfits. That umbrella fabric worked out great!

I am even more impressed now that I've read the description of the build over in the vehicle section.  That isn't a minirig piece its a shampoo bottle.  Freakin' genius.  It is a perfect fit for the INT-4 interceptor.  You are the king, sir!

Wow! that Mimban tank is freaking amazing!! 

[StarAlien70]

Thanks for all your comments and hope you're all keeping safe and well. Here's one I did a while back, but only just got round to taking some pics.

Customised 3.75" Han Solo with Carbonite block: I wanted to have a consistency to the various Carbonite blocks that have come with the figures over the years. I decided to use TBS #19 Han Solo block as I had managed to get a few of these. I cut the front panel off the block and made the shaped area with Das clay, then painted it.

As the existing figure was too tall for the block, I used the upper leg section from TBS #05 Luke Yavin. Lower legs and repainted head from TAC 38 Han Torture Rack.



Those grills are a nice touch on top of the playset, but I wish they had paid more attention by putting them the right way round and have them let more light through.

That's awesome!

It really is! We were missing Han's carbon bed. This is the perfect addition to this wall! The pictures turned out great, too! Excellent job recreating one of the best scenes of ROTJ. And thanks for sharing the recipe! The texture of the clay looks perfect!
