A bit about me: I've been a collector for the past 5-6 years, but I haven't really gotten much into customization aside from the occasional kit-bashing. Partly because I didn't want to mess with the figures that I have, wanting to preserve their character, and partly because I didn't know what materials to use and where to get them (I'm from the Philippines).
A few years ago, I tried painting, with mixed results, I used regular art acrylics and couldn't find/ didn't know what sealant/fixative to use for the paint, so after my small project then, I didn't attempt any other venture since then.
A year ago I bought a small pack of sculpey, but haven't tried using it yet because of mixed reviews online as to how to harden it WITHOUT using an oven and because of a lack of confidence. Recently, I was able to acquire some epoxy, and so I decided to try playing around with that, thus rekindling my curiousity and desire to customize.
Here are what I have so far:
1. Clone Commander Shade
(Christophsis ARF trooper plus kama and pauldron from a Capt. Rex)
2. 1313 Boba Fett (WIP)
(removable armor Jango Fett)
Based on this concept art:

(Black Series Ep II Anakin and head from Tusken raider)
I'm just a bit busy from now until I finish my licensure exams, but hopefully after that I'll be able to work on these guys.
Any feedback or suggestions would by much appreciated!
