Wow, I was surprised to see this at the top...I haven't done anything on anyone lately...

Thanks for the comments Straxus and Fritz!  I'm hoping to get some stuff done next week...I've got a few things coming from GTG...it's just finding the time to do it in.


Thanks again!!

You should definetly throw an update in here Ruprecht!  I still love the guns, and haven't even done anything with them yet...but I will...I have a secret project going on that will require one of the DC's....I can't wait to unvail it!!

Thanks

I'm back to my Imperial Commando.  I've painted his helmet, and have removed the shin guards.  I have Vader lower legs, but used the knee joints to make a Scorch the way he shoulda been.   The helmet is a Good to Go cast, it was a bit thin, but the paint helps a lot.  I'm going to make the visor like the Republic Commando with the color fading to white at the bottom.






Questions, comments, gripes...keep them to yourself...er...send them to me....

So I bought some stuff from Good to Go Customs...good stuff, one helmet was a bit thin, but I digress.  I purchased the Bacara helemet with the thought of doing a different commander, not Bacara...but then KB Toys had their buy two get one free sale...and good ol 1138 was on the pegs, so I picked him up, along with the new Saga Sandtrooper, who'da thought they wore italian loafers in a galaxy far far away...anyways...here's the GTG helmet painted, with a paper clip replacing the antenna...

That visor was a pain in the rear...


YOu can't see the antenna in practicaly any of these photos, but I promise it is there...


See! See! You can glimpse part of it over his noggin'!!


I'm in the process of modding a Evo body to look like Bacara...lotsa little painting...

As usual, questions, comments, gripes...send them my way...

Customizing Tips and Tricks / Re: Supportive Spouses...
« on: July 27, 2006, 12:02 AM »
My wife is quite the same.  She shakes her head and walks away.  She does however halp with some of the finer detail on some of my projects, and I'm thinking of giving her a figure and some refrence picture and letting her have at it just to see what comes out.  I too buy figures in excess..but I try to even it out by getting my older son some too...he's a big fan and wants to start customizing his stuff too...I may find some "junker" figs for him to start on for now.  I usually have one or two projects a month that take up the entire month.  I'm glad to see this thread for us 'older' guys...

It seems that Hoth & Bespin Confessional Vaders is the same one ;)

I'm pretty sure they are too...and luckily enough the kb toys here has a plethora of them hanging out...must to buy.

I still think 500th Vader's lower legs might look cool... :-\

I agree 101%...now to find a set...

After careful consideration...mostly from my wife...I have taken the armor off the legs.  The bad part is I drilled holes for the pegs in the armor to go into...so I may do one of two things here...  a) find new lower legs. or b) fill the holes with a dab of sculpy and paint over it.  I like the new leg idea better...so I may go that route...but I have to look through my fodder as I don't have too much.

The more I look at it the odder his feet look.  I may have to do something about that...as for stealing the idea, they say flattery is the greatest comliment, so go for it!  I need to find a few more of this guy as he's a great figure alone! 

Thanks!!

So I was able to pick up a Death Star Gunner today and was delighted to see he had a clone head under that giant helmet of his.  So I got to brain storming, and came up with what I call a First Generation Imperial Black Ops trooper.  These are a couple of WIP pics.  He'll have the removable chest armor the gunner comes with and a clone helmet soon enough.



The gun is courtesy of Ruprecht, great guy, great products.  The best part is it fits in the holster!!

You know...I never thought about that Fritz.  Guess he should be real carfeul then huh?  Or maybe, just maybe he needs a co-pilot!  Whoo-hoo!!  Secondary clone custom!!  Can't wait!

Thanks for the great comments...

HERE IT IS!!

The finished product...good ol' Dead Eye in all his glory.  The figure itself is complete, his helmet is a different story.  Enough jabbing, here's the pics.

The mark on his right chest(our left) is from the same event that took his eye.


Close up of the Aurabesh.  It says Tar Verd, meaning sky warrior.


I like the Naboo gun with him, makes him look like he's just a pilot, not a fighter.


Well, that's one more project off the shelf...next up is a Ishi Tib Jedi apprentice to Master K'ron.  He's assembled, just needs some painting.

As usual, comments, questions, gripes...let me have them!

Thanks

As you all could've guessed, my current custom projects are on hold for a bit.  Here's the only update I may have for a week or so.  I will still be trolling and commenting here and there though.

Finally home...


Lets hope this little guy doesn't grow up to want to destroy the Jedi...


Thanks

Thanks everyone! Tonight I get one night of sound sleep before "the fun begins" as I was told. He's a wonderful little thing, and loves to sleep. The name Anakin started as a joke for my father, as him and I both have the same middle name so he would've liked to have seen it continue, and my wife, the smart [censored] she is, kept telling him he was going to be Frederick Anakin...well people started to like Anakin so it stuck. Mom and baby are doing well, and are coming home tomorrow. That's it for now. Thanks again everyone!!
