D_N's Customs- Updated December 1st?!!!?!

[PenDragon]

Now thats a rough looking crowd. Your Customs are really starting to Improve, I think this is the Best Batch Yet. The Soft Goods Kama looks very Good.
Keep up the Great Work.

I have to agree! And, like I said before, I love the brown, it adds just the right amount and type of color to your ashen grey theme.

Wicked cool.

I've always really liked your use of soft good Nirvana. Very few seem to have mastered them. All the kama's and straps look great.

Your customs are definitely getting better. I agree that athese would look better with less weathering though, both on the faces and on the armor. If you accidentally get paint on the face and it won't srcape off, the best thing to do is repaint the face, it can be a bit of a pain but in the end it will be worth it. I know it is also tempting to weather the hell out of these things, but in most cases less is more.

Keep those customs coming!

Thanks for everyone's comments, guys. I really like the SG too, it's one of the things that I really like to put on my customs. Alot.

I recently said Gunship 1 was complete, so I might as well get things started on Gunship 2. I'll probably just have repaints of HoV Clones because my sotry pretty much focuses on Gunship 1. But, I decided I'll have one character on Gunship 2. This is suprisingly one of my favorite customs I've done in this line, I don't know why.

MASTER SARGEANT RAEDAA, COMMANDING OFFICER


Shot of his arm with the insignia added

For some reason, the superglue I used on the thigh straps discolored the plastic and cloth...This is the first time it's happened.


Well, I hope you like him. LMK what you think. Thanks for looking.

I really like these clones you've been putting out lately, they're very unique and well crafted. 
Master Sargeant Raedaa is awesome, I love the head wrap with the AT-AT Commander helmet.  The use of the VSTC Han Solo upper body works great with the Clone Pilot legs.  Excellent job!

[Roton7]

Awesome! I love the face thing, and the holster looks good. And once again, the weathering looks great. Nice job!!

[CHEWIE]

The scarf is a great idea, I'll have to borrow that idea sometime.  I always enjoy how you incorporate soft goods. 

 

[Roton7]

I looked at it again, and I believe the first pic is the same as the second pic. You may want to edit that.



And once again, great job!!

DN, the discoloration is from the superglue oxidizing from contact with the air (usually happens with Krazy glue brand).  You can wipe off most of the white stuff with a slightly damp wash cloth, and then cover up the rest with paint. 

Nice customs but they can get slighty monochromatic at times so the browns are a plus.  Cool insignia and good PN concept

Wow, I'm a scientist by training and I didn't know that.  Cool.  Learn something new every day!

[Nirvana]

Well, thank you for everyone's nice comments, I've been getting more and more lately and they really help. On the issue of the superglue, I ran out of my good glue (Loctite, doesn't oxidize with cloth, etc.), so I had this dollar store glue that I used. Problem solved, I guess.

Here's another custom for the "Disaster on Coruscant" Series.

General Varel Xalrich is a cold, calculating Republic General who is placed in command of the 367th Legion. Usually residing in the top brass and only giving commands, General Xalrich decided to accompany the Commander's squad on this mission, thinking it would be an easy mission and more of an observation one to see how his Legion fared in combat.

GENERAL VAREL XALRICH


Parts:
Head, Torso- SAGA2 Veers
Arms- ATAT Driver
Legs- ATAT Driver; Clone Pilot

All clones (so far) in 367th Legion:


Gunship One:


Gunship Two, 30% Complete:


Well, I hope you like them. LMK what you think. Thanks for looking.

[BrentS]

Looking good D_N.   GENERAL VAREL XALRICH looks like he's seen some tough days!  Are those scarfs wrapped tightly around the faces and then glued down? 

Keep 'em coming.

[Roton7]

That looks great!

[Nirvana]

The only problem with him I had was the shoulder joints. I liked the look of the ATAT Driver Arms, but kind of screwed up dremeling out the torso to accomodate them, so I just glued them in. So, all he can really do is just to look good standing in Gunship 2. Still a pretty good custom, I believe, and thanks for everyone's comments.

[CHEWIE]

I'm really liking this guy -



The less weathering on the face on this one really makes it seem more realistic I think.  In fact it's one of my favorite customs you've done.  Is that some sort of emblem on his chest?

The other new ones are good too.  I like the tight wrapped scarfs a lot.  Always enjoy how you add in soft goods.  On the one where the superglue discolored it, I've seen that happen with plastic too.  You could always paint over the entire soft goods when that happens.

Is that a Rots Tarkin Head under Xalrich's scarf?  Looks good!
