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

[Nirvana]

Um.....yeah, he's just a tad enthusiastic.

[Darth Nuch]

Good job


Hey Darth Nirvana, this is Darth Nuch. I want to thank you again for showing me this site. It is really neat. Anyone that wants to talk to me you know what to do

[Spectre]

Darth Nirvana,

You certainly produce alot of figures in a short period of time! I'm not a Clone fan myself, but I have to admire your enthusiasm for the customizing hobby

My only suggestion (aside from doing something other than yet more Clones anyway ) would be arm them with weapons that are not obvoiusly Earthly in origin. The BBI weapons are great and all, but are far too regognizable as the automatic firearms they are. Even if you do something as simple as relocating the magazine (clip) around so it sticks out horizontally from middle of the left side of the weapon (like most SW blaster rifles) and removed the sights at the end of the barrels it would make them look a bit more sci-fi in nature.

Eon J'Toul - Cool background story!  I like the design of the character - he definitely feels like a mercenary.  The only thing that I would change would be to paint his white arms a darker color.  If they're mechanical, maybe "pewter" or some sort of dark metallic color.

The Turbo Tank Division Commander looks pretty badass.  Is that a modified BBi helmet?  I like the color choice, it kind of reminds me of a U.N. Peacekeeper    Maybe you could add a piece of twist-tie (like the things that hold figures into the packaging) to give his helmet a communications microphone (like what Gen. Veers has)?

I really like all of the softgoods that you do - it's always a bonus to see softgoods!  I agree with CHEWIE - using some different color fabrics would help the figures stand out a bit more. 

I also agree with Spectre's comments about the weapons - small tweaks on the modern weapons can really make a weapon look different.  Cutting off and switching barrels, repositioning magazines and sights, as well as adding other bits to the guns can make a world of difference.

Keep up the great work!

Mate you've got some great looking figures and all are fantastic but the cloth work sets them on a new level great work and well done.

[Nirvana]

Thanks hemble and everyone else. Your comments help.

On another note, my camera is broken/acting up. On the camera screen it says it's connected to PC, but when I try to download on the computer it says the camera is not responding, check connection, etc. I checked the connection, everything is in working order, and the wire is in fine condition too. Has anyone had this problem? It's really getting me frustrated.

[BrentS]

I hate to be the master of the obvious, but have you tried turning everything off and starting the PC back up again?  I've found that many of my device not responding problems are corrected after an "electrical labotamy"

[Nirvana]

Well, suprisingly, I haven't done that. But I haven't because it did the same thing on my last use of the camera, but it managed to work. I'll try later today, thanks for your help.

[CHEWIE]

Nirvana, I went though a similar, aggravating problem.  I eventually was able to "dig" into my computer files to find the "E" drive.  After doing that a few times, the problem seemed to fix itself as I started getting the popup again when I was trying to download pics... you could try uninstalling your software, then reinstalling it.

 

[Nirvana]

Thanks for your help guys. I'll probably just end up buying a new one, it sucked as it is.

Anyway, my good buddy Darth Nuck hooked me up with a POTF2 Greedo (vinyl vest, articulated knees) but I'm not sure on what do with him. I plan on using the head, vest, and maybe the torso but that's about it.

One of my ideas is to make a Rodian, Grundo, from the CW novel Jedi Trial. I could really use some ideas though.

[Nirvana]

Well, that idea kinda fell through.


Anyway, I know that I haven't updated in a while, I'm running out of fodder and I have a couple WIPs that are in planning as well as production. Here's a custom I've had done for a while, but my camera decided not to work all of sudden. It's fixed now.

Here's an Advanced Republic Military Commander (ARMC). He undergoes the same rigorous training as the ARC troopers and has a similiar paint scheme as well. Trained as a basic trooper as well as the added training to become a Commander, Commander Levant is leader of the 297th, the legion that supported Captain Slayke's forces in the battle of Praesitlyn. He served under Anakin himself and Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon. (Made up name and legion number, just needed a place to put him.)







Well, I hope you like him. LMK what you think, all comments are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

[CHEWIE]

Another update, good to see you have another one here.  He looks pretty nice, and I really like the beard.  Suspenders are a good touch too.  Looking forward to seeing him in action in one of your photonovels.

 

[hemble]

Another clone to the collection way to go D_N, I always enjoy seeing your work and the way you add things to your figures is excellent and Chewie is right the beard and suspenders are a great touch well done buddy.

Ron

[Joe]

neat one...I too like the beard and "straps".....great job as always...

p.s.   HOW MANY EVO.SETS CAN ONE PERSON OWN?

nah..I love clones too...especialy well done ones.

[Nirvana]

That isn't an Evo clone....it's an SA one with an Evo clone head, and I only found one set.

Anway, thanks for all your comments guys, I'm working on Captian Zorridor Slayke from the same novel. Thanks for your comments everyone.
