Gregorbian's Customs - UPDATE 07/04/06

[Gregorbian]

Thanks for the comments guys!
Interesting, when I was making the dead clone, I just assumed that he had been a long dead clone or something like that.  I was going to make a helmet, but I kinda liked the rotting head  .  A partial helmet would be cool though...
I think you guys are right though, a little dirtier armor would make him look better ... and more gruesome 

[Commander CuDa]

Here are some customs that I've made in the past few days.  I made the requisite SA Commander Bacara (which took a surprisingly high amount of reworking) and used his body to get the armor pieces for a dead (or Zombie) clone.  There's also a Lt. for my custom squad (Lt. Gamma).

SA Commander Bacara:



Lt. Gamma:

Commander Gorb and Lt. Gamma:


Dead Clone (had to do something with the headless Bacara figure):




Comments/advice is always appreciated!

DUDE ! Those are Awesome . I love the waisted clone ... And the snowtrooper is really cool . I got one a few weeks ago and want to cust him out also but he is still iin the box . I might have to hang on and find a loose one     But killer work

Gregorbian, one other thing you might want to consider would be some of the black fiber material they wear under the armor... but I don't know how you'd do that.  Maybe just painting it directly onto the skin?  If he was rotting, his flesh might "absorb" the material some.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing that a bit, but I think that was when I decided that he was a long dead clone and the body suit had rotted away.  I think when I touch him up a bit I'll add some sort of black body suit in parts. 
Thanks for the comments!

I don't understand how you dremel out the body armor on these so well!

One thing i want to try just to see if it works is graphite spray . It has a chunky grey and black look... but it is full of air so I dont no how it would react to a clear coat. Anyone ever tried that ?

It's pretty easy, but I burn the hell out of my fingers.  It's worth it though
I've never used that graphite spray CuDa, although I've seen it in the craft store.  I think it might be a little too big for use on a custom figure.  That stuff would look great on a diorama though.  Thanks for the suggestion though

[Commander CuDa]

I thought it might be to bulky also . But im wondering if spayed on what ever the item may be then do the clear coat almost right after that if it would shrink it down. Due to the graphite being hit with the mist of clearcoat and the bubbles being popped in the graphite. hmmmm  I might have to test it out .

CuDa, what happened to your threads?  Why are they deleted?

He said he is leaving JD because there is too much drama.

[CHEWIE]

That's crazy!

yes very...., now Gregorbian got any new pics of customs? Or at least tell us about some upcoming projects!

Haha, alrighty...
I picked up an extra Batgirl Microman figure, so I might try making an SA Slave Leia 
I have a couple droids that I want to make (a couple astromechs and a vintage Death Star Droid repaint).  There are a couple Sneak Preview Wookie Warriors that I picked up at KB that I am going to make into new Wookie Warriors.
Ummm, as far as clones, I'm not really sure what's in store.  I've been painting up a couple Xevoz robots to give my clones some big battle droids to fight, so I'll probably take some pics of my custom squad in action.

[crazy about Clones]

That sounds awesome. Love to see the squad in action, and the main reason i posted that was because somehow i missed your SA Bacara, Lt. Gamma and all the others.  Great Job on all of them, and dare I say it I really like the dead clone! Great work and I agree a partial helmet would look awesome. If you did it though dont glue it on or anything, in case you dont like it. Great Job!!!
