Hi there! Some of you may know me from Rebelscum, TFN, and FFURG. I was told this was where the best customizers posted their stuff (which is why I didn't), and was then told that I should put my stuff up here as well. I hope you guys like em! There's about 12 pages, spanning almost every different scale/line I can find, and hopefully you'll like something listed! Let me know what you think!
Darthfloyd's Customs (http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Darthfloyd/customs/)
PS: Much thanks to everyone who has inspired me (Chewie, Scoobaca, The_Vinyl_Jawa, Incom65, and DarthDelicious, to name just a small few!!)
-
Wow! Those are some great customs! I didn't have time to flip through them all, I'll have to later!
I love the Scout Commander, very nice!
On Commander Faie, I would suggest maybe repainting his camo to a more yellow and brown than a green camo...The camo you have looks great, but in the comic his camo was a darker shade and slightly different colors.
They all look great!
-
The Commandos, and the Quinlan Vos are very well done! I love that Jack Sparrow Custom, it cracks me up! ;D
-
man those are nice customs, i think thats the biggest ammount of 501st ive ever seen in that kind of "jedi assault" pose, lovbe tha kashyyk scouts, and the scout commander well done
-
Hey DF, glad you took my and other's advice to join JD. Your customs are very worthy of being seen by humans, aliens and everything in between ;D

Thanks everyone! Yeah, my original JTA idea was to get 14 501sts, since if you count, Anakin is leading them 7 across up the stairs. When it became obvious they would be hard to find, I decided to go for 7 501sts and 7 customs...then when I found out they were the crappy ATTE gunner version, I decided to just make 14 of my own (I still think they used too light a blue, so I like mine better anyway :P) . They are kinda bunched up for the pic, but eventually I would like to build stairs and have them 7 across and following Anakin...er, Vader.
I have had alot of fun these past 9 months of customizing (I started in September), and the Scout commander was definitely one of my favorites. It is actually based off of one that CHEWIE did last month, and I loved it so much I just HAD to do one. There's slight mods (I believe Chewie had the pauldron on backward and didn't include the Kama), but I loved his look and felt that I would duplicate it as much as I could...and then I couldn't find his pic anymore! I think I got the gist of it, though, and I thought the chain gun would be an awesome addition. Then, when counting his guns (hold out scout blaster on the ankle, holstered blasters on hips, and chain gun), I figured he would be a force to be reckoned with - so why not give him one more gun? As soon as I got home from work that night (I'm fortunate for now to have a job where I can custom at work...for a few more weeks anyway), I found a clone rifle, and a military gun with a strap...seemed like the perfect thing to add so that he never runs out of ammo in the midst of battle.

Very nice stuff Darthfloyd, I've seen most of these before and am a big fan of your work.
I really the Vos a lot.
:)
-
Some very nice work, Darthfloyd.
One thing I might suggest is posting the pics here in your forum...you'll get a lot more response.
Oh, and...that Clone Wars Eeth Koth looks mighty familiar. ;)
-DD
-
Oh, and...that Clone Wars Eeth Koth looks mighty familiar. ;)
Yup! That's why I gave you a shout out, DD!
So do you mean post each individual pic here? I don't have a prob with it, I just figure it's gonna take awhile to load each time...but I guess I can do that!
-
Ok, as per what DD said, I'm gonna start (slowly) putting pics up here of stuff from my site. I'll only put one of each thing, so this doesn't become just a rehash my photobucket. I'll mix up some old stuff and new stuff!

Next, my other non-3 3/4 stuff!
-
I love your customs! I think Vos is my favorite followed by Mara Jade. Can you share recipes on these customs? Glad to see you posting these here.
-
Sure. Here's the Vos recipe (It's kinda long, but its a little more than straight customizing)
Head - Eeth Koth
Hair - Sculpey on top, hair from Eeth Koth with braids attached from POTF2 and TSC2 Leia Boussh
Chest Armor - Hollowed out TSC2 Hoth Vader
Shoulder bell - ROTS #6 Clone
Chest - TSC2 SA Obi-wan
Arms/Belt-skirt/Lightsaber - Clone Wars Kit Fisto
Legs - ROTS Dooku
*The chest armor is different on vos in some of the comics, looking more like clone armor. My fix for this is going to be the armor that comes with the upcoming Death Star Gunner, since it is removeable. I just wish he were out already!
- I kinda did something weird which gives Vos some articulation, but didn't make him very durable (he's fine as long as you don't throw him around and twist his waist really hard). To keep the swivel chest, I popped it and removed the pin holding the stomach area to the chest (it looks like a little T with a roundish top, I think). I dremelled this at it's base and put it back inside of the chest. I then dremeled a hole in the dooku legs to hold the bottom of the "T" and glued it into there. Before that, I used sculpey around the peg in the dooku legs so that it would hold the belt up, making him look like he still has the stomach region, when, in fact, he is very thin in that area. With it being pushed up against his chest, you would never know (plus it looked better to me, since the robe from the chest flows smoothly "under" the belt.
Here's the mara recipes.
Mara X-wing:
GI Joe Courtney Krieger head/neck
VTSC Luke X-wing Pilot
Mara (Hand/smuggler) (based on The_Vinyl_Jawa's recipe with a few mods)
Head and Hair: Agent Courtney Krieger
Torso and 'skirt': Padmé Amidala (Droid Factory Chase)
Arms: Princess Leia Collection Celebration Leia
Hands: Hannibal Reborn (from the same GI Joe 3 pack that Courtney comes in)
Pelvis and Thighs: Princess Leia in Boushh Disguise (2006)
Claves: Clone Trooper (ROTS #41)
Feet: Aayla Secura (ROTS #32)
Belt/holster/gun: VTSC Han Solo Endor Raid
Cape: ROTS Dooku
Hilt (added to belt after pics were taken): Saga Collection Anakin
Goggles: Navy Seal figure I found for 5 bucks at TRU

Now that I got the pics from my friend and the OSWCC website, here's some stuff I did for the OSWCC Summer Social.
Vintage ARC-170 Pilot

(made up from the photoshop mock up by Tyranusspotting - (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Darthfloyd/Random_Star_Wars/Vintage-ROTS-Clone-Pilot.jpg))
1st prize in the Customizing Contest I ran - My custom OSWCC 2006 Summer Social Jedi Starfighter (Done in 4 days...I wouldn't doubt it if all of my hair is gray now)
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Darthfloyd/customs/d8fe1cff.jpg)
I'm hoping I can get some better pics of the Starfighter (from the guy who won it) and the carded ARC pilot that we gave away (on a pretty decent card, though I can't steal credit from the guy who made it - I didn't for sure). I'll post those when I can.

1st prize in the Customizing Contest I ran
Sounds kind of Montgomery Burns-ish.....were you the head judge? :P
-
I was asked to host a customizing area, where OSWCC members who customize stuff could display their stuff. I was also asked to run a contest, where people could pick a few things to enter, and the club would vote on who they thought did the best job. It was anonymous - the people brought the customs, and we had a master sheet, saying who was what number. The customs themselves had a number and a short description (so people didn't get the numbers mixed up). At the end, we tallyed the votes, and gave out the prizes accordingly.
How did it sound montgomery Burns-ish?? I'm a bit lost, but maybe I just missed that episode...
