Ok, ok, people 've been telling me, Fox was a clone trooper in the 501th legion, and isn't this guy. But hey, as long as i don't have an other name for him, here is Fox.
Most of the work's by Glassman's hand. He sculpted and casted me the helmet and head. I put everything together on a commander body. Added some sculpted and repainted him. Here are the results:

What do you guys think of him?
-
Kit, I think it looks downright evil and very cool. The helmet is great by Glassman, but you did a wonderful job on the painting. Good weathering and I like the extra additions you made with the sculpy on his arms.
:P
-
I have to agree with chewie on this one Kit. When the helmet is off, its still a spectacular figure. Great paint apps and weathering.
And the paint apps on the helmet make it sing!
-
Thanx mate!!
-
Hot Dog! Very nice job. Thumbs up to the Glassman on the helmet as well!
Kevin
-
Good work, I like the weathering job (and I like how you weathered the rifle as well). They eyes on the AT-TE Tank Gunner head are really well done, they look perfect.

Good work, I just which to see a scar face in this one.

I too am stumped.....
I really like the Fox, you did a great job on the paintjob and Glassman's head sculpt is fantastic. Your sculpting isn't half bad either, it turned out to be a really great figure. :)
-
Hey guys, don't get my comment in the wrong way. I love the work in this one. I just say that I will love a scar face under the helmet, just like this one....

That makes more sense now Omega. Your earlier comment said Good work, I just which to see a scar face in this one. so I think we were a bit confused. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks for clarifying. :)

Hi,
here's my latest custom. I bought one of Bantha5's superb clone kits. The first one I put together was Cody. Here are some pics.

Cool, great helmet sculpt. Is it just the angle of the pictures, or are the helmet antennae not attached in some of the pics? I'm pretty sure it's just the angle...
What is a clone kit? I've heard of Bantha5, does he send you a helmet and stuff?
-
Hi,
this is the kit I'm talking about:
Bantha4's kit (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/Bantha5/IMG_2157.jpg)
-
Wow, those are some great sculpts.
-
good work I like these alot !
-
Very nice job! Is that clone 6 or 41? I have that kit also. It will be a clean version when I get around to putting it together.
-

Cody is clone #6.
-
Indeed, I used a 6 for cody, mostly because of the removable sholderpatch.
For the Neyo, I'm planning on using a nr 41, IF i can find one...
-
Nice work - I really love that medic, especially (have we determined if that is indeed a medic?) - that's a lovely kit, as well.
-
Newbie here I've been coming to JD and reading the posts and the news for about 2 months and well I had to join up today just to tell you Kit; those are pretty awesome. How do you get in contact with Bantha to order or trade for those. I just started customizing so until hasbo comes out with these guys will definately do.
-
Well, I don't want to promote other sites, but I found a topic about the kits at the rebelscum.com forums, at customizing. There you can contact him.
But I should warn you, the requests for these kits have been off the scales. So Bantha ismaking as much kits as he can but, can't keep up with the demand... You can try though.
-
Thanks Kit, I definately will.
-
Nice Fox Kit! What did you use for the helmet?Very,very nice!
-
I'll in the middle of my Holliday period, and I wanted to try something new. I got inspired by Owen's amazing work on creatures from EU series like the CW cartoons, and wanted to do these myself. But when I was exploring his site, I didn't have the curage to start working on those big ones. So I went looking for something a bit smaller.
That's how I got the idea to start building a Kybuck steed (didn't even know the creature's name untill I re-read Yoda's databank entry at SW.com)
I made pics of most of the diffirent building stages. So here we go:
1st stage: getting the stuff together. I mostly used a white (dries when exposed to air) sculpting paste (not in the pic) + some construction materials:
(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/Phase%201%20r.jpg)
I started repositioning the pair of Jolly Jumper (Lucky Luke's horse) legs and building a base with sticks and balsawood. Then I started sculpting on the head (separated from the body) and the body itself. I used the back legs of the little horse as front paws. ( a lof of dremmeling had to be done)
Some ref. pics:
(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/ref%20pics.jpg)
After the sculpting was done of moth parts, I put the head on the body and glued his sadel in place:
(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/Phase%202%20r.jpg)
Then I primed him with a spray paint; grey matt
(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/Phase%203%20r.jpg)
After a second layer of primer, I sanded al of the remaining rough edges of, And the real painting could begin:
(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/Phase%204%20r.jpg)
The finishing touch (straps, sadelstrap and visors) i did with grey electrical tape and a blue screen from LEGO:
(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/Phase%205-01%20r.jpg)
(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/Phase%205-02%20r.jpg)
I also added a peg in the saddle so Yoda can ride his trusty steed. The one problem: I don't have a Cartoon yoda to repaint into the correct colors...
So I might as well post it here:
Who can help me find a loose CW cartoons Yoda? Please HELP!
-
Wow, somebody slap me! This is awesome... a very unique custom that is so different that what we usually see.
This is truly great and creative. I've thought about how cool it would be if they made this.
I doubt I'll ever attempt this project, but if I do I personally would probably try and make a non-cartoon version. But your version is wonderful. I love it.
Good luck getting that Yoda that you need.
:P
-
That turned out great! I haven't seen the animated CW figures in a long time, but if I come across a Yoda, it's yours!
There are only 2 things that I would add to this steed, in terms of painting - The reference pics show that his belly/underside is a lighter brown than the "top" of the steed, I think it would look really cool if you put on a bit of lighter brown paint on the underside. This second point is probably not a good idea since it's the animated version, but I think it might look cool if you drybrushed the tail a bit - not too much, but maybe a few hightlights.
Anyway, those are very minor points and your steed looks great as it is. Very ambitious and I think he turned out great! I can't wait to see Yoda riding around on that steed.
-
About the belly, it IS in a lighter grey. But you're right, you can't see it very well in the pics. Even the lower side of the tail has a lighter brown on it. About the weathering, I tried it, it looked "off". Didn't fit the fig.
Thanx for the comments you guys! I try my best.
-
Kit,
Saw this at Rebelscum as well... it's GREAT. When I saw the first pictures I really didn't think it was going to work. It came out looking dead on though. You gotta get a picture of Yoda either riding it or standing in front of it.
-
Kit, I'm so sorry I forgot to post here. This is a excellent piece of work. It is always cool to see customs that are a little outside the box. I love the sculpting you've done. The pose on this guy is killer. And I thin the inclusion of a peg on the saddle is genius. The paint app is perfect, the lines are very crisp. I also really like the little base you made for him. Little things like that can make customs look really professional and take them to the next level. I see how you tried to make the fur lighter on the belly but I think you could try to lighten it a bit, it is fairly noticible in the cartoon. Awesome work, I may have to try this someday! Good luck on finding a Yoda for him.
C'mon guys, this deserved more than 3 posts. :)
-
Thanx Sith Lord Chaos!
It seems the "smaller" forums have the best and most helpfull replies on customs. On big sites mostly I get replies like: "Cool!" "Very cool!" or "Awesome!"
You guys have given me critiques I can work with. Thanx a lot
-
:o
*faints*
That is AMAZING! I'm trying to think of stuff to say, but I keep scrolling down to look at the pics! Awesome job!

A friend of mine loaded my text + pics up on our site The cutting Edge (http://thecuttingedge.artofthejedi.com/) for all to see :)

Hi,
I've been working hard on some customs lately. I've build about 5 Street Fighters and am working on verious projects as we speak. Because of these projects, an older fig got pushed aside. Today I took the time to finish it up. After I'd built the Snoova update, I wante a new Luke. And here he is:
Recipe:
Head: SAGA Luke bespin
Torso: GI Joe Sci Fi
legs, arms, skirt: ROTS clone commander
Staff: scratch built

Nice custom. Your staff appears to be scratch-built from the Grievous Bodyguard staff and 2 wall anchors… am I right?
-

You're right about the wallanchors, the stick is just a piece of plastic I had lying around. Thanx for your comment!
-
That is excellent, KF! I always liked the old SOTE Guard, but did feel it was a little out-of-place looking with other Imperials. This change would make him fit right in!
And I dig the Sci-fi torso. It looks so close to Clone armor - I actually thought it was a Clone torso with a lot of work done. :)
Keep up the good work.
-
Wow, what a great idea, and executed perfectly! Very creative KIT FISTO! This would be a great resculpt for Hasbro to do.
Really a great use of parts. The kilt sets of off and really is a great addition.
:P
-
Great figure very clean and crisp paint work and the staff is weathered perfectly.
Ron
-
That's also probably the toughest Luke has ever looked. :)
:P
-
Yeah,probably due to the weight of the staff?! ;)
Excellent Custom Kit Fisto!
-
WHOA! I love this custom! It turned out really nice, excellent use of parts! Normally G.I. Joe parts don't mesh that well with Star Wars, but that torso is perfect. Perfect job all around! You definitely need to make the Lando version now!

Hi,
Some of you might remember a Casting Call or custom group project at Rebelscum.com (I think it was put up by Master Phruby) some time ago on these boards with the theme: Cross-overs.
Thanx to Glassman6 back then, who provided me a Buggs Bunny figure, I was able to enter and built my very own Buggs Fett custom. There were some Boba Fett fans out there who wanted to buy my custom, but I got to attached to it and turned them all down.
Untill a month ago. I got the opportunity to showcase some of my customs at a local Convention and a German fan offered me a lot of money for the custom. I cracked, I needed the cash for the merchandise. So I sold...
But when I can home after the Con, I was heartbroken to not be able to add the Buggs back to my collection.
A few weeks ago, I found a NEW buggs figurein an old store in Barcelona (Spain) and when I got home, started to work on a new edition emediately.
Long story short, here he is:

(http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/maian_uploader/uploads/comp%20helmet.jpg)
I updated the 2nd version quite a bit. I gave this version a cape, better backpack and more detailed paint job. If you want a reference of my original custom, here you go:

-
I commented about this one over at FFURG and really like this custom. It's a big improvement over the old one. The jet pack is my favorite part.
-
These are always hilarious but very well done. Bravo! I wouldn't know where to start with something like this... I'd probably never have the motivation to try a non-3-3/4" custom.
:P
-
Being a bugs Bunny cartoon nut this is bloody excellent and the work you've put into him is awesome a BIG 2 THUMBS UP
Ron
-
Thanx every body! The work that weant into it was more than worth it if I look back at the figure, every time I crawl into bed. :)
Thanx for the great replies ;)

Seeing aeseven7 's awesome mandalorian customs and after ordering 4 of glassman6's superb Mando-helmet casts, I just had to build my own team. I originally planned to use VOTC boba fetts, and ordered 2 on Ebay. But I couldn't wait to start building and made this one.
He mostly GI Joe and Jango Fett Saga parts, and a lot of milliput, paint and Chap Mei acc.

That is Sweet!
It kind of Reminds me of the Space Marines from "Aleins" for some reason. Was the Eye Piece Part of the Original Glassman Caste, or did you add that little bit yourself?
Awsome Work, Keep it Up!
-
The eye piece I added myself. The glassman casts are ordinary Mando helmets.
Thanx for the feedback Fritzkrieg!
-
Kit you should make a consolidated thread here with all your awesome work it in it. You've made some really good customs and this one is no exception. Awesome assembly of parts using multiple toy lines here and casts, amazing how professional it looks. Very well done and one mean looking Mandalorian.
:)
-
I agree with Fritz and Chewie, these is an awesome custom! I see alot of so-so Mando customs on the web, usually just being some color variation of Boba and Jango Fett -- but this is clearly a piece with to which the artist has truly applied his creative license! I love the range finder on his left side, the map tucked on his thigh, and the unique knee pads! The back holster is also genius, and the added height and bulk of his rifle gives him a very heroic, or at least warrior-like look. This really captures the Mandalorian "spirit" as it is depicted in the expanded universe.
-
Hey Kit,
I like this custom a LOT. You really went the extra mile with the paint app, and the details like weapons belts, the map, the viewfinder and the like. Joe bodies are difficult to use without being somewhat conspicuous, but you have pulled it off nicely.
The only criticism I have is the head and boots. The beanie (or bandana, as the case may be) are a little too "earth" for me, as are the laced up combat boots. But those are just matters of personal preference. I really like the overall look of this guy, and agree with Chewie...you should consider a consolidated thread.
-DD
-
Thanx for the kind words you guys!
About the thread, I used to have one here, but it's been a while since I posted in it and I think it got kinda lost...
I'll try and find it though, and make an update.

AHA! Found it!!

Gday Mate
Svoova- I really like this custom the paint apps are great but what I really like about him is all the equipment you've put on him especially the skulls.
mandalorian sniper- this is a well put together figure especially using GI JOE parts I didn't think they would look this good how wrong was I. The paint apps are great well weathered and nicely detailed.
The only thing that seems a little out of place and this is only my personal opion is the rifles holster being on the back for such a long barrel it looks like it would take to long to get it out other then that I really like the overall figure.
Ron
-
Very nice Mandolorian sniper. He might have one or two too many add-on accessories for my tast but he's still a great figure. Its great seeing Glassman's helmets being put to such good use.
-
Great use of G.I. Joe parts Kit Fisto! Normally I'm not a big fan of G.I. Joe hips/legs on Star Wars customs, but for some reason I don't really notice the different articulation here. Maybe it's the great paint job/weathering.
That helmet is kickass too, it's different enough so that it obviously isn't a Fett repaint, but it still screams "Mandalorian!" to me. Great work!
-
thanx people. I'm working on the second team member during my studybreaks, so you should get another update here very soon :)
-
I always loved that Snoova of yours, it's so awesome. Makes the design actually look cool - light years ahead of the Hasbro version. :)
:)
-
That is an excellent Mando Kit. I used to be kind of a purist in respect to parts, you know Sw with SW and joe parts with joes. BUt there is definately a lot of potential with mixing parts, and Ive started doing this myself recently. These parts fit togetther very well, in both form and function. I like the fact that the articulation is still functional. Excellent paintjob too. I cant wait to see the rest of the team.
-
Well here ya go :)

Head: GI Joe undertow
acc: GI Joe, chap mei, ...
And a lot of milliput :)
Let me know what you think of him please!
-
Once again kit. Beautiful. I like the scout's breathing tubes. Is he inhaling Rocket Fuel? ;D
Paint aps on this one just as exceptional as the sniper. Keep em coming!
-
Fantastic, Kit. I'm loving the way the Glassman helmet is modified. Very cool breathers, but maybe they should go to a tank on the back instead of the rocket fuel tanks.
Very badass.
Kevin
-
Hehe thanx dudes :) Yeah I know I relayed the breathing tubes to the rocket tanks but he, it looked cool at the moment so I went with it ;)
Maybe he modified the backpack into a life support kit, or maybe he just likes the smell of gasoline :p
I don't know if you noticed, but he also has a bionic hand. Lost his original in battle.
-
I see, I see. Metal hand. I thought it was a gauntlet glove or what have you.
Kevin
-
I really like the additions to the Mandolorian Sniper. I don't care that the hoses connect to the backpack - they look cool. The masked head is also a great touch.
-
Now this is what I call a csutom this is just awesome the colour scheme is great the paint apps are sharp and crisp and the extra equipment isn't overdone mate very very well done indeed A BIG 2 THUMBS UP.
Ron
-
Now this one is cooler than the sniper. I kinda like the glove, hes got a Hellboy thing going there. Right down to his little horns. Great job on this one. So when do we see the next one? ;)
BTW just in case you didn't get my PM your stuff will be on the way tomorrow.
-
Maybe he modified the backpack into a life support kit, or maybe he just likes the smell of gasoline :p ...
Or MAYBE, he was thinking about style points and rigged up a device that allows him to look like he's breathing fire!
Ok, so it's not a very "efficient" weapon. But come you know you'd do it if you could... ;)
Oh, and these are superb, Kit. The paint and equipment design are just lightyears ahead! I see something new every time I look at the pix...
-
That latest Mandalorian is very awesome. Everything about it looks very well placed for parts and paint application is top notch. I especially like the hose things attaching to the helmet.
:)
-
You guys are great!! :)
Thanx for the very suportive and informative feedback.
D_E: thanx dude, I'll let you know when the stuff arrives.
I'm having a bit of a setback on the team right now. I'm still expecting fodder in the mail, but as long as the postman doesn't show up, I'm out of work :p
-
Just to keep you guys updated, I've been busy learning how to mold and cast. But yesterday I got the extra fodder I needed for another mando and I went to work this afternoon. Pics of my Mandalorian Squad commander soon! (I hope...)
-
Can't wait. I love mado customs :)
-
Ok, time for another Mando update. I took a lot of pics, but most of them were bad, so I only have this one. It's not very good either but I'll make new ones tomorrow.
Here's my Mandalorian team commander. He's made out of some BBI head, old cool gun I found, milliput and the main body is a VOTC fett. The helmet is another Glassman6 helmet modified.
Let me know if you guys like him ok?
(http://users.edpnet.be/mace/customs/Images/SW/Mandalorian%20commander.jpg)
-
You've been on a role with your Mandalorians lately! This is very good. I especially like the strap/band over the top of the helmet and I think the laces on the boots are good.
:)
-
Excellent Commander. Chewie's right you are on a roll. Like him??? I love him. Where did the feet come from? The look familliar but I cant place them. Any chance of us getting a group shot of the entire team whan you're done?
-
Oh, the group shot is coming all right ;)
The boots are modified BBI elite force desert troops. I addes milliput to make them look bulckier and more SW less millitary.
-
SWEET!

Just to bump this a bit:
I haven't been able to work on the last mandalorian these past few days. I'm doing a few commissions, working on perfecting my casting skills and builing a few LEGO clone customs for my girlfriends' little brother.
I DO have a small update on my site (my girlfriend and my site actually) She added some of her and my art and some better pics of older GI Joe, JLU and off course StarWars pics. So if you're interested, you can go and take a look here:

-
Thats really sweet!
-
Very cool! Hey did you take advantage of an air bubble for Boss' helmet, or did you make the detail - either way, that's pretty dang neat!
-
Thanx for the feedback. Yeah, the air bubble was in my original AOTC lego head cast. I wanted to fix it when I started casting my team, but it looked so damn cool, that I left it in there. Now all of my (future) commando team members will have the "damaged" look.
-
I'm curious, are these Lego helmets cast already hollowed out or do you hollow them after casting?
If they are hollow in the mold, where are you putting you sprew whole on the helmet?
Thanks!!
-
Wow, that's one of the best Lego customs I've seen!
-

Thanks!!
I made a mold with a lego head in it. So the figs head is full. The helmet is no longer remvable. I make a sprew hole on top of his helmet and sand it down after casting it.
-
That Boss custom is awesome, and I'm just blown away that you're actually casting custom lego helmets! The Cody is a great implementation of, what I think was, a visor from the arctic lego line. The torso details are great! They truly look factory. Are they labels you printed out yourself? I love it all!
-
Yeah, the visor for the cody is a modded ice planet visor. The lables I've printed out myself. But I found someone who can make me even more professional lookin decals. Hope to get some soon.
-
When will Cody be done? These are very cute.
-
Those are some really cool lego customs. You did a job on both the helmets and the body labels
-
When will Cody be done? These are very cute.
Soon I hope, If i get some time to paint toninght, I'l lwork on him. I finished A Sev commando in lego yesterday. I'll take pics soon.
-
NOw these I want to see. Republic commando legos would be awesome. I like the rest of them too especially the Cody sculpt. But thats a given I love Cody. ;D
-
Wow kit, i'm sorry i missed these when you first posted them.
These lil clones are fantastic. Love the cody and the Boss is ... BOSS!
Great work. Keep em coming.
-
I finally finished working on the LEGO Commando sev, but the pics cmae out blurry... So I'm gonna take some new ones and post them here.
-
Those Mandalorians look incredible! Whoa!
The paint apps are amazing. Nice work as usual.
I really like the way the Lego clones came out. They look factory.
-
ok, lets get this strainght, i have one word to say bout those mandos, and that word is "wow", enough said!
-

Lego customizing...man, that is impressive. Getting clean application on such a small scale requires skills and steady hands...very impressive work.
I love the Mandalorians as well...I guess you can never go wrong when working with such an awesome design, but you seem to go above and beyond with the added details and great paintwork.
A very impressive body of work.
-
Whats cooler than clones? Lego clones...those are awesome! I love the commando helmets and packs! Thats sme serious skill to work on that scale. PLease make more of these. I love looking at your lego creations
-
Thanx for the kind words every one. About the Lego's, I finished my Bacara lego fig today. The paint is still drying, but as soon as I sealed him, I'll make some pics and load them up here.
-
Ok time for a pic of my Bacara Lego Clone commander :)

-
These things are so damn adorable I love them. Almost makes me wish I had the room to do lego stuff again. But alas the stuff I like from Lego takes up way too much space in an otherwise cramped apartment. :'(
-
I love your lego clones Kit.
Bacara is adorable. One thing on the helmet. When you did cody, his helmet add on's look like add on's. Bacara's looks like its blended instead of added.
Carving a line so it looks like the helmets piece is layered would make the world of difference. Something to think about the next time for your otherwise great clones.
-
Thanx for the feedback guys, and Glassman, I'll keep it in mind!
-
Dude, how did I not discover these earlier? They ROCK! ;D
-
At last I'm able to update my topic here. I've finished a few extra LEGO clone figs.

And a WIP of something diffirent: A HALO master chief head for LEGO minifigs:
(http://i12.ebayimg.com/01/i/07/5a/04/77_1.JPG)
Casting is going really well btw ;)
-
Those look very cool 8)
-
Scorch, lol, that is awesome Kit, I love the Master chief helmets too those are great. The Fordo and his ARC team look great too.
-
I love your lego customs. I really need to do some of these! The arcs are my favorite.
-
These are great Kit, I really like how those halo helmets are looking.
Cody is fantastic! Great work.
-
Those ROCK!!! I love the cody. The ARC's are awesome too. BTW ae those stickers on their chests or is is paint? Either way the detail is phenominal. I cant wait to see what the HALO guys look like.
-
Thanx guys, the print on their chests are decals (stickers) I used. Sometimes I add paint to get the color right.
-
I've been working really hard these past few months getting together some money to expand my collection. The only way I know how: customising on commission. A guy contacted me via my site and wanted to order a few clones. Here's what I came up with:
(http://users.edpnet.be/mace/customs/Images/SW/DSC00007.JPG)
(http://users.edpnet.be/mace/customs/Images/SW/commander_neyo_commission.jpg)
(http://users.edpnet.be/mace/customs/Images/SW/Neyo.jpg)
(http://users.edpnet.be/mace/customs/Images/SW/Fox.jpg)
(http://users.edpnet.be/mace/customs/Images/SW/Groupshot%2001.jpg)
(http://users.edpnet.be/mace/customs/Images/SW/kashyyk%20trooper%2001.jpg)
For now, I'm working on the WIP clone I posted earlier and a Lando in Imperial guard disguise. For more pics of the clone commisssions and my finished LEGO Halo troopers, please check my site here:
Maces' place (http://users.edpnet.be/mace/index.htm)
-
those are all really nice....i like the galactic marine...and fox looks awsome
-
Good stuff here. Very clean feeling clones. You kind of did the dirt like hasbro does. Fox is the best of the bunch. I think you need to add a buckle to Neyo's straps. Maybe make his left sholder black or gray and add a little black to the side indentions on his face. It really adds another dimension to the helmet doing that.
(http://mysite.verizon.net/res0h93r/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/commanderneyo.jpg)
-
yes, i think a buckles and a shoulder pauldron would make both Neyo's really pop. on mine, my husband made a belt buckle out of styrene, along with the shoulder straps and pauldron (i did all the weathering & painting. the helmet is a Bantha5 creation). :P
(http://home.comcast.net/~justjoe13/images/neyo2.jpg)
and yes, the "weathering" (dirt whatever you wanna call it) on your clones is very Hasbro-esque. Fox is definitely the standout of the group imho.
-
Very nice job on these kit. I'm sure the owner/s are extremely happy with them.
Your weathering is very HAsbro-like. I like it. It make them blend in really well on the shelf.
I dont like seeing my figures next to hasbros, casue they stand out. That is why i card most of them.
They dont look right next to the toned down weathering of Hasbro.
Great work.
-
Thanx for the kind words. About the weathering, I know. I don't like to "over-weather" my clones. I do weather more on other characters, but clones are just to white to go and make them TOO dirty I think. So I try and copy what hasbro is doing, mostly 'cause these clones will end up in an army builders' collection. And what Glassman6 said is correct, they would stand out TOO much.
-
You guys might remember my Sote Luke In imperial guard disguise from some time ago. I think I even posted it in this thread. Anyway, a lot of people asked me if I was planning on making a Lando too. And I was, I just wasn't able to get my hands on the parts. A few weeks ago, I finnally got hold of all of them. So I started putting him together. The helmet is a modified cast. The rest of the recipe is this:
Lando General POTF head
ROTS clone commander legs, arms, kama and guns
Sci Fi GI Joe torso
custom build staff
I took me some time to finish him, 'cause a few guys from the Belgian Star Wars Fanclub (http://www.teekay-421.be) are building a storm trooper armor. And they asked me to build them proper E-11 blasters. You can see some pics on my site soon.
Anyways, enough talk, some pics:

I've never seen anyone make Shadows figures like those before. Nice job! :)
-
W :o W Kit, those are awesome. How did you get the arms to fit into the Sci-Fi torso? Its a great design, Kinda makes me wish I still had a few of those lying around. Di you have much trouble keeping them together? Ive never actually tried to combine a joe torso with SW figs.
-
Thats the best Kashyyyk Scout clone that I've ever seen. From a fellow camo-nut to another thats one sweet camo job!!!!!!
I gotta do this. Thanks for sharing that one especially
-
HI D_E, I was lucky with the sci fi torso. The arms of the commander fit perfectly, didn't have to alter anything. I Just screwed the 2 halves together and filled the screwhole with some milliput and sanded it down. Those arms look as if they were MADE for that torso. The leg/pelvis part wxas something else. I sanded down the torso a bit, glued it to the pelvis and smoothed it with milliput.
@ Outrider: I'm glad you like him mate. It was really easy to do, but I think it looks great. I first used a light green that didn't cover the white completely. Then I used 2 diffirent greens to add the cammo patern.
-
Those do look really good. I do remember the Luke from a while back. Very nice job.
:)
-
Kit
The Lando and Luke in SOTE gear are a vast improvement over Hasbro's earlier attempt. Paint app is also top notch.
Also wanted to say I checked out your website and i was very impressed with both you and your (gf yes?)'s artistic work! All of it was very impressive, you guys have some MAJOR talent!
-
Hey thanx for the compliments (indeed,she's my girlfriend) I'm glad you like my work. It really means a lot to me that people check out my site and like what they see. I like it even more if they come and tell me ;)
-
I had some tim on my hands yesterday and decided to take some better pics of a few older customs. And now I'm here to share them with you guys ;):

I've been very busy lately (mostly building props for me and some fellow costumers from my local SW fanclub) but I finally found the time to finish another one of my custom projects. So here he is, Jedi master Roron Corobb, wat do you guys think of him?:

-
the eyes look good, they have a real animated feel to them. i also really like the grey tunic, very original. nice job on this charecter!
-
I really dig this figure. Sort of a hybrid between animated and "live action" styles. Very original, very unique, very cool looking!!
Neat eyes!
-
Yeah, the eyes really do it, man! Did you sculpt (part of) his trousers, by the way? I'm still in a wip-stage with my version, based on Jedistyle's version.
How is the articulation? I've had such a hard time with the neck, I just glued his head to Coleman Trebor's neck. The feet gave me just as much trouble and are also glued. Only the hands and waist can move. Still need to do a lot of painting, though.
-
As far as articulation goes, his head is glued on. His arms have balljoints, wrists are glued. Legs are pegs and feet are glued on as well.
I'm glad you guys like him!
Good luck with yours IncomT65
-
He's awesome! You really chose your color palette wisely and the application is perfect.
-
Thanx man! <ihope to update soon with some finished pics of some WIPs I have lying around here
