JDeck finishes up the work on his Spaceport mods...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 30 2020
"I pretty much finished it, but I need to order some more LEDs, might as well replace the Droid shop lights for 9v, and run them off the same battery.
I was painting the plastic parts, and the wind blew my cardboard mat, and all my parts went flying. I recovered all but the Astro droid dome light, so I had to rebuild it, but I made it even better. I got the idea from Galaxy's Edge, they had something like that."
He is really making something that looks daggone cool!
JDeck redesigns his Spaceport...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, August 29 2020
"So I decided to redesign the spaceport, from a concrete fortress city, to more of a stone castle city, while I still can. So I redid the facade for the Droid workshop. It's a stone base made of XPS Foam with a homemade modge podge made from wood glue and black craft paint. Then added a door frame and different materials to it. The outside lampshade is a Astro droid dome. It still needs much work, but this is the mock-up."
Now this turned out awesome!

JDeck makes some custom criminals...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 25 2020
"Just made a couple of super simple criminal figures. The Devorian uses a Vitruvian hacks Knight blank black body. I got the idea from Don "Chuckles" awesome Ghost Rider custom, and thought it makes cool biker armour. My first HACKS figure, and I was not happy with the waist, he keept breaking in half, so I hot glued the waist together. Second is a Hiya toys Red Hood, with a SOTE Swoop Trooper head. The Red Hood figure is fantastic, but he needed Star Wars-ification. I like it, he's kind of an updated version of the SOTE Swoop Trooper."

They are smaller in diameter than the pipe blocks. Since they utilize straws, the connectors are all female, which is great. Painted up they would make great conduit for 1/18 or 6".

"Manny" as in Manny Bothan died to bring us this information! I believe this was my third full on custom, not counting heads purchased from someone else or model kits taped and rattle can painted. L.E. has been begging me for years to come to the custom side. I had too much self doubt, I'm not an artist and I just sat here on the fence lurking in awe at all the talent here and everywhere else, somehow he got through and I jumped off the fence and finally joined in, a couple years ago.
JV-P12 hvac droid. 3d printed by Corey Fryia at Sandcrawler Customs. I removed the printed antenna and replaced with a brass rod, I also used a ball from a sewing needle and glued it on top. The front bar was not included, that is also brass rod that was bent and glued in place. Citadel and Vallejo paints were used. Streaking grime and rust streaks by AK interactive."
Folks trust me, this is just a drop of the customs he shares with his latest updates. All are just great including the painted up version of the Gotal he shared the other day!

"Rebels Phoenix Leader Hera Syndulla. Simple limb swap/ repaint custom using The Black Series Hera Syndulla and Jania Solo.
Ever since watching the first episode of Rebels, I've wanted to do my take on a Gotal merchant. Using Constable Zuvio as a base and a Obi Wan bust and cutting the combo sash/obi/belt free from the tunic, of the Obi wan, I had all my Black Series fodder parts needed."
Now these two customs are very nice! I can see very close attention to detail here!

RCW continues his Log Cabin and Imperial Outpost Dios...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 4 2020
"Just realised I had not posted for a while, I have cut out four windows with frames and installed them into the walls. I have stained the frames to weather them, painted the edges of the base black and lightly sprayed brown over the ground.
I've started to add the detail to the front of the compound, while building up the sides so they aren't flat walls."
That is some nice work to both dioramas!

Stan shares a new modern vintage custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, August 3 2020
"Ree-Yees joins Modern Vintage Customs in 2020! But wait did we not get a Ree-Yees in the black Series , yes we did! It’s so annoying that Hasbro still can get this headsculpts like they were in the movies. Their headsculpt was way too small. It a mask that fit over the head , Hasbro. Since we gotten serval pea headed figures: Ponda Baba , Imperial Gunner, etc. This beautiful headsculpt was perfect by Everygrey."
I agree, it looks great!
Darth More shows us more Army!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, August 3 2020
"The IFT-X is my favorite ground vehicle of the GAR. However I still think the ISP Swamp Speeder still looks best and is most to scale. The Republic Fighter Tank is slightly underscaled, but if you lift it to make it “hover” it won’t look as bad anymore!
I got them all wrapped up in foil and please excuse me for not taking them all out."
Make sure you click through and see his Swamp Speeders too!

Ron Hembling shares a new Ghostbusters Project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 2 2020
"Hi All,
Ghostbusters Peter Venkman 1:12 scale.
Recipe.
Venkman - is from Hasbro's Plasma Series and once I got him in a pose I liked I then super glued the joints and puttied them up, I then used tissue paper and applied it to the uniform using watered down PVA glue. I repainted the utility belt, ghost trap, proton pack and neutrino wand using Vallejo Paints and I also added wires which I got from an old electrical cable and danger signs I resized and printed off the net.
I made the foot trap using plastic card, clear rod and wires and the cord from the foot trap to the ghost trap is an old ear phone cord. The smoke coming from the ghost trap is just some cotton wool which I tore apart and glued on and once the tissue was dry I then painted and slightly weathered the whole figure using Vallejo Paints.
Base - is high density foam and I used a sharp pencil to make the footpath, stone work and bricks and then I used a piece of sandstone and lightly tapped it over the brick, path and stone to give it a more natural look. The cement between the bricks was done by brushing spakfilla over them and then lightly wiping away the excess with a baby wipe. The door was done using balsa wood and the handle is plastic card and rod, the slime was done by mixing green paint with PVA glue and I little Woodland Scenics Realistic Water."
Ron just works magic!
Black Thorne paints up the Hover Tank...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 2 2020
"I finished another repaint, this time for the Rogue one tank. The way the factory paint was applied always bother me, despide the excellent weathered concept."
It is amazing how a great paint job will really bring out the bang in a vehicle. BlackThorne does this to great effect here.
Customs for the Kid celebrates 10 years on the web!

""CUSTOMS FOR THE KID" CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF BLOGGING
When we started this blog, we never knew we would be still here 10 years later still making action figures and promoting the members of the Star Wars custom action figure community. We weren't quite sure how best to pay reverence to the event so we took a multi-pronged approach. First, we made a custom 3.75"scaled Loth-Wolf from the Star Wars Rebels animated series. We will get into the significance of why a Loth-Wolf a little later but there is a small story there. Next we updated the banner for our blog to include some of our more recent creations while making sure to include some of our older customs as well. As a bonus, we got together with some of our friends in the Star Wars community for a livestream to celebrate "Custom for the Kid" milestones over this past decade that can be viewed in the video above."
Congratulations to Darth Daddy and Elias. They also updated their customs thread with some awesome additions!
JDeck creates a great custom gas pump...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, August 1 2020
"I finished the paint on the pump. Same exact thing I did to the tank. I like how it turned out. It's better than what I had originally thought of when I was dreaming up this project. It reminds me of an old school gas station pump, but with a sci-fi star wars touch."
This is awesome. We so need things like this to buy!
