Okay, I've had a few Lego customs laying around, so I thought I'd share them! I have yet to customize any Hasbro figs (unless cutting off the leg connector of R5-D4 counts :P), but I'm gaining an interest every day. So perhaps I'll be posting some Hasbro customs someday. :)
Here are a few Lego customs I've done. Since taking pics of individual figures up close is so hard, I had to leave the pics kind of big, so I'll leave links to them.
First up, as seen in TSR: A Deadly Inauguration - Mon Mothma!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/monmothma.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/monmothma.jpg)
Next, we have the first of several sneak peeks of upcoming items in The Sith Revelations. Here is Rodian Jedi Master Ernid Ottet.

And the third and final figure for the update, and another sneak peek of future events in TSR, straight out of the Jedi Knight series, Kyle Katarn!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/kylekatarn.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/kylekatarn.jpg)
And now, we have the ship "shown" in TSR: Voyage to Trideeno, the Trideeno Starfighter.

And finally, a sneak peek at the next part of TSR, a shot of the WIP entrance chamber of Robilus Dralco's mansion.

And here's a close up of the design on the floor:

Hope you guys enjoy! :)
-
Heh heh... you really make LEGOs a lot more fun than I ever thought possible. The ship is cool, as is the Mon Mothma. The floor design looks great too, and I'm sure it will add a cool effect to one of your excellent photonovels.
And the Kyle Kataran is outstanding! I love it! Can't wait to see him in action. :)
:P
-
Yea, legos are fun. Those look cool.
-
I'm always intrigued by Lego cutsoms, and these are no exceptions. I really like that Mon Mothma and Kyle Katarn--they really look like the characters. The Rodian Jedi is also very creative. Because I don't collect Legos, I hadn't seen that head, and I must say it's great by itself and looks really sharp on your custom figure. Finally, I must ask two things. Is that ship based on this mini-rig (http://www.toysrgus.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=39681). And, is TSR a photonovel? If so, where do I find it?
-
I'm digging that custom Mickey Mouse Cup. Is that a repainted Vintage, or is it a full custom? What did you use to make the cup? Vacuform, or an existing mold? :-*

CHEWIE: Thanks! I wanted to make some good figures based off big New Republic people, and I think they came out great as well. I'm hoping that Katarn won't disappoint!
JediKnight760071: Thanks!
Professor: Thanks! I really like how well Kyle and Mon came out. The Rodian head is Greedo's, which you can find in the Mos Eisley Cantina set.
The starfighter is just something I built one night, wanting Trideeno to have a starfighter of its own for defense purposes. I had never seen that mini-rig until now. Very neat! I'm just going to say its a wierd coincidence.
And yes, The Sith Revelations is a photonovel, which can be found in the Photonovels section at the top of the Customs section. Here are the links just in case:
TSR Pt. 1 - Assault on Briff (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=8043.0)

TSR Pt. 3 - Voyage to Trideeno (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=8704.0)
Dressel Jr.: Ha! It used to hold popcorn, now it holds my 3-3/4' weapons and accessories. :)
Thanks for replying!
-
wow, nice job on these lego customs - they look like they're right out of the package! I can't wait to see what you have in mind in terms of 3 3/4" customs ;)
-
Great work on the mini-fig customs! Katarn is my favorite. Thanks for the shot of the ship, it looks great. Now where are those Battlefront II screenshots? :-* ;)
-
Thanks for the replies! The screenshots are coming soon, SLC. If you want them sooner, you could blackmail my teachers. ;)
Here is today's update. Please excuse the semi-crappiness of the pics. I really need to learn to take pictures when it's daylight out. :P
First, we have a villian from TSR, Commander Tiller Quaas:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/comquaas.jpg)
Followed by another TSR villian, Admiral Andross Margalit:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/margalit.jpg)
Next up is Obi-Wan Kenobi in Clone Armor:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/cloneobiwan.jpg)
And straight out of Shadows of the Empire, Dash Rendar!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/dashrendar.jpg)
Next, we have a man with an Astromech body. He has no name, and was injured in a battle during the Clone Wars. Scientists were able to hook his brain cords with Astromech cords, allowing him to live AND allowing him eternal life, or until someone destroys the body or breaks the glass tube over his head.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/astroman.jpg)
And last but not least, Jedi Master Arcan Nevik. Beware his special lightsaber attack, the Arcan Saw!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/arcannevik.jpg)
Enjoy!
-
Those all look very cool, and like official LEGO figures... and that R2 one with the human head is freaky. Downright scary in a way!
:P
-
the R2 with the human head reminds of a B'Omarr Monk, very nicely done.
i really like the Obi-Wan in Clone Armor, very fun and effective. i look forward to seeing more of your customs in the future :)
-
As the creator of the Arcan Saw, I must say: Beware. :D
Kevin
-
Man, these are so cool!
Do you paint the details on the body? How do you make these??? ;)
I love that astromech with the human head, nice job ;D
-
CHEWIE: Thanks! I also made a blaster that can attach to the top of the Astroman's dome, but it makes him look like some sort of faucet. :P
darth_ripley: Thanks a lot! I'm definately going to keep making more customs, and I'm slowly trying to move myself into 3-3/4 inch territory. ;)
Dressel Jr.: Umm, no. :P
Gregorbian: Thanks! No, I don't paint the bodies/details. So far all of my customs have been made out of official Lego pieces. Example: Dash is made with a Jango Fett body, an AOTC Obi-Wan head, AOTC Anakin hair, and chest armor from a Shogun. Just some simple limb swapping. :)
Thanks again to everyone for viewing!
-
No new fig customs, but instead I give you the first completed shot for the next part of The Sith Revelations - Meeting Robilus Dralco.

-
Nice preview. I can't wait to see what happens with this chapter.
:P
-
I like it Diddly. I can't wait/who to see what causes that explosion. :)
-
I can't wait to see the return of this fantastic photonovel series!
-
Just bumping to inform everyone that Meeting Robilus Dralco is now up! :)

I recently downloaded a Photoshop type program called Pixia. It's really helping me with things like holograms and lightsabers, but I can't figure out cut and paste yet.
Here are two examples, one which is greatly improved from what appeared in the photonovel. ;)

Also, work is coming along on several locations for TSR part 6, which I'm thinking of calling "Power is Money." I rather like that title... :)
-
Nice effects, eh!
-
The effects to add a lot to it, but either way your Lego-novels are always great.
:P
-
Sorry for not posting before, you do really nice work.
-
It's been a while since the last update, and I've been hella busy with school. That's meant little time to work on Part 6 of TSR. I have, however, created some of the key locales of the chapter.
Here's the first, the Trideeno capitol building, located on scenic Capitol Hill!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/capitolpic.jpg)
-
That's a good update/preview pic. You're getting really good at those pics, and we are in need of a new chapter in this series. ;)
:P
-
Thanks CHEWIE! Photo editing programs do wonders, as does MS Paint. :)
And I started shooting principle photography tonight. Here is another preview.

Here's a repost of my entry in the RE challenge thread, my first Hasbro custom!
I don't have any Saga Endor Soldiers, so I used my spare Red Leader Obi Wan and painted the beard and hair black. I think it came out great, and looks a lot like Rykrof.
This is a Cold Weather version of him, for planets like Hoth.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/REchallenge6.jpg)
Okay, I didn't have any paint, so I used a sharpie. :( I still think it looks good though.
-
You had me fooled....I think he looks really good...really, dare I say, 70's-ish :)
-
I posted my comment in the group thread. keep it up travis
-
It does look good with a sharpie, much better than I would have thought.
:P
-
Guess who actually customized something!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/DiddlySquat/beevo2.jpg)
Sadly this is the best pic that came out... I don't know why my camera struggles to take pics of 3.75 inch figures, yet can take perfect shots of Lego figures? ???
Anyway, his name is Senator Beevo. He'll have a role in Shadowstalker. Head and hands are a VTSC Greedo, body is Lushros Dofine. I may go back and color his "poofy collar" though.
-
Not bad at all. Simple, but effective.
I almost think you should have painted the body in more vivid colors, though, since at first I wasn't even sure you had painted it, as it is pretty close to the original.
That's hardly a fair criticism, though. On its own, it looks quite good.
-
LOL He didn't paint it at all Lance. :D Anyway travis you already heard my comment on AIM glad the rest of the stuff is working for you
-
Good parts mix Diddly. I like this Rodian.
:)
-
I like it, but for some reason it seems more feminine to me. Maybe it's the collar and robes, and I'm used to seeing Rodians in pants....
-
Yeah, it seems kind of like a female Rodian senator.
:)
-
Quazar: Thanks! I may go back and repaint it as soon as I get some paints. I always forget when I'm out, and that results in a verbal lashing from Famine.
CHEWIE: Thanks!
Ruprecht: Heh. I actually got rid of that collar altogether, so now he looks a bit more masculine. Actually I think Hasbro's robes make any figure look like a girl, I thought the same thing about Meena Tills. :P
And here's a Shadowstalker preview, where you can see the new Senator Beevo...

Nice Clean Simple Custom.
Good Job, but the Lavender Garb deffinatly seems more feminine to me. I'd recomend either changing the color or his Gender. Either way it's still a good custom.
Good Job keep it up.
