Topic: Starchaser's Custom Thread

[Starchaser]

No customs, but just for fun - a Hasbro drop at my house. How does this work?



Now for an acutal custom:
Mikgel originally built a family cafe but it wasn't profitable, so he accepted Greef Karga's proposal to turn it into a cantina for the Nevarro Bounty Hunter's Guild. He holds out hope that someday he will be able to have a family restaurant. (from the Nevarro Cantina cross section illustration online). You can briefly see the character in the cantina behind the bar when Din Djarin first enters the cantina in the Mandalorian Season One, Episode One.





Recipe:
Head = Dr. Jones Sr. with hair scuplted on
Torso = TVC Rose Tico
Arms = Brock Starsher
Hands = fodder bin
Lower torso/legs = TVC AT-ST driver

Nice job. To be honest, I never build a custom with success. Even repaint was a fail

You do a brilliant job with the dioramas, I know that you could figuer out the figure side - but it sure takes time. I'm nowhere as talented as others, like Darthdaddy and Elias, Chewie, and Echo Six, but I enjoy the process and that helps, and I'm okay to start over again.

Very nice.

Off to share.

Nice addition to your custom collection, Jeff! It's nice to see some of the latest Vintage Collection figures in your backyard! They look even better outside and in the Cantina!

Thanks Philipp! Got to take advantage of the nice weather, right?

I've got another figure in the queue that I hope will get finished up in the next week or so to go along with Mikgel. Fingers crossed 🤞

I thought that was Dr. Henry Jones Sr. Great job on him and nice display!

Thanks, DS! Yep...I've gotten some good use out of Jones, Sr. for customs.

It's a pretty good likeness of Connery. The new Adventure Series Jones Sr looks spot on. He's on my shrinking list for TVC customs.

Awesome yeah the extra hair really makes a totally different look to the head

Thanks, JDeck! I felt like it worked pretty well.

K2-HK has rebuilt himself since the Empire fell. After the debacle that was the Clone Wars and the Empire's reliance on security droids, Ktwokh, as he calls himself, is making an effort to blend in. He hasn't quite mastered it yet, but from behind, at least, he could be mistaken for an organic with cybernetic legs. He spends a lot of time sitting in cantinas, where the lights are low and people are either distracted or tipsy.





Recipe:
Head = K2-SO//Hat = Nikto skiff guard
Body = HK-87
Arms and Jacket = Henry Jones, Sr.
Hands = Boba Fett (Tusken)

Nice job again.

And I like the idea of using a natural background for your shots.

Thanks! I don't have a great lighting set up for interior pictures, so natural sunlight gives me better shots - hence the outdoor shots.
