Gregorbian's Customs - UPDATE 07/04/06

[CHEWIE]

Bump.  No way this awesome thread should be down so low on the page.   

 

[Gregorbian]

Haha, thanks CHEWIE 
I finished a couple more guys, I just need to take some pics.  I had some major car trouble this week so I've had to deal with that a bit... Anyway, I will definitely try to take pics this weekend

[CHEWIE]

Sorry about the car trouble, that is never fun.  It downright sucks.  Good luck with that, and hopefully we'll see some new customs soon.  I need to make some more too.

 

[Omega Squad Commander]

Hum! Appear that Chewie have a addictions problems with Gregorbian customs.

I'll give a kit bash for your appetite....

Sorry for the resolution (I have to stop using my cell phone for this).

Note: Good luck with the car.

Here are a couple customs to tide you guys over 

SSA Clone Trooper




Vintage Boba Fett repaint:




I need to finish up the batch of pit droids that I'm making, I got a little sidetracked because I made a custom Bazooka clone for a guy 

[CHEWIE]

Something must be wrong with my computer.  I can't see the Fett figure.

The Clone looks superb though.  Very clean and crisp - this should be a no-brainer for Hasbro to release.

 

[Gregorbian]

That's weird, he's coming up on my screen   

I think I might try repainting the eyes on my SSA Clone; he's a little cross-eyed right now 

[CHEWIE]

Ok, now I can see the Fett.  He looks awesome.

Yeah, those AT-TE Gunner heads seem to be cross eyed on a lot of them.  I did see quite a few of them at Target the other day though, and I didn't see any with that problem.  Maybe they got it fixed?

 

[Gregorbian]

Hrmm, I just picked a couple up tonight so I'll have to check.  Hopefully they fixed it 

Here's a pick of my best custom ever:

Totally.

Vintage Boba Fett repaint:

Wow, I really like that!  I might have to grab a nice cheap paint wornm vinty fett and try that myself... have you thought about using a Kamino escape Jango to give him a removable helmet?  That might be a kinda cool little nod to tie the vinty to the new.

Thanks, that Fett cost me $5 (I bought a loose lot of 2 vinty Fetts for $10 and each had really tight limbs) and the only thing wrong with him was the paint, so I was happy to repaint him.
It never occurred to me to use a Kamino Escape Jango Head on him, but that's a good idea.  I was thinking about trying a vintage Jango next with my other vinty Fett, so maybe I'll do the removable helmet for that.  My only concern with that is that the modern headsculpts are so much more detailed than the vintage ones    Is there a vintage head that I could use for Jango?  I can't really think of any right now...

[Gregorbian]

Here is a "Clone Hunter" - He was one of Count Dooku's initial choices for the Clone DNA donor, however he failed one of Dooku's tests (because of intereference from Jango Fett).  He then hired himself out to Nute Gunray to kill specially trained Clone Commanders, ARC Troopers, Commandos, and regular clones (he gets paid for every kill except for regular grunts, those he kills for fun). 






Parts Used:
- BBi Elite Force Figure (base body)
- Bootleg Clone Trooper - heavily sanded torso/lower legs
- Bust-Ups Jango Fett jetpack
- AT-ST Pilot helmet from Endor Accessory Pack
- Gung-Ho side holster/pistol
- shower curtain (kama/mask)

The helmet is removable, but it's a really tight fit so I'll probably just leave it on for good.

[CHEWIE]

Holy smokes!  What a great custom!

You not only came up with a great use of parts, but the color scheme makes him look scary as hell and his back story is spectacular.

I'm jealous of this figure.  You did superb job on it. 

I've been tinkering with a bounty hunter to be in the Badoo Corba with a somewhat similar design but not nearly this detailed.  If it's ok, I might copy some of your ideas from this one.

These fan fic creations are always my favorites too.

Well done and a nice surprise to see this when rummaging through the customs section.   

 

[Gregorbian]

Thanks man, I'd be honored if you used any of my ideas in your customs CHEWIE!

I was thinking about doing something else to his helmet (add some red designs and repaint the visor) - what do you guys think?  Any suggestions?
