Excellent job on the carbonite mate and I like how you've given the interior section that soft melted look.

Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate the feedback.
Here's another 6" custom. I've seen a few customs of this character from Battlefront 2 (I don't actually play the game, I just liked the look of the Inferno Squad).

6" Iden Versio custom:
TBS 6" Inferno Squad Agent with head from WWE Series #69 Tamina combined with the top and back part of the head from TBS 6" 81 Padmé Amidala. I find that a lot of WWE heads are too large for TBS 6" figures, but this one was a nice size. I cut the tubes off the life support pack and put plastic pieces in the helmet mouthpiece to fill the holes. Feet from a DC Collectibles Arrow Black Canary.



I hollowed out the helmet to fit over the head, it's a tight fit but I did it (if you try this, be careful of the thickness variations in the helmet - it's quite easy to get carried away and think you have a long way to go, then you hit a thinner part of the helmet). The pauldron is a modified piece I had cut from TVC Kylo Ren skirt with added strips off plastic painted for the stripes.



The belt is modified to have a less bulky look and have 2 drop boxes (Why did they make that detachable stormtrooper belt for TBS Han Solo with only one drop box anyway?).
The hair bun is detachable for the helmet to go on.

Very, very nice. Man, a lot of all around great work on this one. She looks so much better than the regular figure they made. Off to the front pages.

Thanks for your comments. Here's a few Expanded Universe 6" customs that I did about a year ago, but just realised I hadn't shared them.
I plan to do an army of these at some point with various camo patterns, as I got a load of Cassians really cheap. The main problem will be finding suitable heads to swap with them all.

TBS 6" Rebel Soldiers: Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain



Rebel Sergeant: Repainted TBS 6" Captain Cassian Andor with modified cap and repainted head from TBS 6" Finn (Jakku).



Rebel Lieutenant: Underneath the poncho is a modified torso from 6" Tauriel - The Hobbit (An Unexpected Journey) to fit the waist joint and legs from TBS 6" Rey (Jedi Training).
Head from TBS 6" Jaina Solo (Legends). Feet, arms, poncho, cap and holster belt from TBS 6" Sergeant Jyn Erso (Eadu).



Rebel Captain: Repainted TBS 6" Captain Cassian Andor with head from 40th Anniversary 6" Death Squad Commander.
No repaints on any of the legs except for the boots.

Thanks for all your comments. Here are some various 6" TBS Imperial Officer customs I've been working on recently. Most of this batch are based around customised TBS Director Krennic figures.

Imperial Officer with light grey tunic (same uniform as Trech Molock): This is the officer that can be seen reporting to Tarkin on the Death Star overbridge just before Leia is being escorted in. He is also seen walking passed the turbolift. TBS Director Krennic #27 all repainted apart from legs and gloves, with modified head from TBS Rebel Fleet Trooper #69. Upper 6 rank squares and code cylinders cut off. Skirt and cap repainted from TBS General Veers. I stuck with the Krennic gloved hands as I don't have enough bare hands to use.

Imperial Commander - generic, but same rank as Nahdonnis Praji: TBS Director Krennic #27 all repainted apart from legs and gloves. Upper six rank squares cut off. Skirt modified and fitted with holster from Death Squad Commander. I fitted the black holster on the left to be consistent with what can be seen in stills of Daine Jir's on the Tantive (as you don't get to see Praji's holster), rather than the brown holsters worn on the right in the Death Star control room. I would have prefered to use the long gloved forearms from the Death Squad Commander but the pegs are too small for the upper arms of Krennic, and the whole DSC arm doesn't fit well in the Krennic torso.



Lieutenant Pol Treidum: TBS Director Krennic #27 all repainted apart from legs, with repainted head from TBS General Hux #13. Upper 6 rank squares and each end square on lower row cut off to leave 4. Skirt modified and fitted with modified holster and blaster from TBS General Veers armour.  Hands from TBS Cassian Andor (Rogue One 3 Pack).

All custom utility boxes are Lego tiles sanded down on 2 opposite sides to make them more rectangular.



Imperial Lieutenant - generic, but same rank as the gloved officer (only seen properly in stills) who follows Vader to the Falcon in the Death Star hangar. TBS Director Krennic #27 all repainted with modified head. Upper 6 rank squares cut off. Skirt and cap from TBS General Veers.

Imperial Stormtrooper Commander: Simple custom - just a modified 40th Death Squad Commander. Holster taken off and used on above Commander custom. Head and repainted cap from TBS General Veers. This is based on the commander that signals to the group of stormtroopers in the Death Star corridor after the Falcon lands in the hangar. He doesn't seem to have a rank or holster and also has boots and trousers more like a Naval Trooper rather than an officer, but it's unclear which uniform it is.



I'll show another batch soon of Imperial Officer customs based around customised TBS General Veers figures.

These look great. Makes me realize how many they have not released in the 6" scale yet.

Brilliant kit-bashes here! This question came to my mind recently when I got a few WWE figs used. It seems they're slightly taller than 1/12 scale. I did some calculation and they're rather 1/10 scale - especially the heads are bigger than TBS. Your EU General looks about perfectly accurate, though!
Your pics look fantastic, too! The right background can make a difference like night and day.
Thanks Kurt!
