Title: Vator's customs...Updated: The Fourth of January
Post by: Vator on September 6, 2004, 07:58 PM: On Saturday I was lucky enough to find two Admiral Ozzel's at my local Wal-Mart. However, I did not like the Admiral Ozzel head sculpt and began to think of what cooler figures could be made from him.

I then decided that he'd look pretty sweet with a Captain Antilles head. And so I swapped them. The Antilles head did fit the post, if not just a bit snuggly.

Then I put Ozzel's head on the Antilles body and I thought it look pretty neat for a Sergeant or something and BAM! 2 new and neat looking customs!

Pictures will be coming soon, I have to recharge the batteries for the cam.

Perhaps something to try if you find more Ozzel's in the future.

Happy Customizing!

:P

Post by: CHEWIE on March 14, 2005, 10:39 AM: Oooo you're making a photonovel! ;D

The pics are showing up a bit blurry... but looks very interesting!

:P

Post by: Vator on March 14, 2005, 12:27 PM: Oh no, that's a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY old photonovel I touched up...I mean we're talking May of 2003. But on that note, yes I am making a photonovel, that should be done in the next few months.
Title: Revamp, sorta.
Post by: Vator on January 4, 2006, 02:25 AM: A few new customs I've made...some are pretty sloppy, but I think they're good enough.

Post by: CHEWIE on January 4, 2006, 10:25 AM: What the heck happened here, I just replied and my post got deleted.

Anyways, I was saying it was good to see an update. I would suggest a few more parts swaps, but repaints are always nice too.

The Bib looks really cool, like a totally new figure with the red paint scheme.

I like the Agen Kolar repaint too, it gives him a totally new look, almost looks like a female Zabrak or something. I like that.

Same goes for the Ugnaught, I've never seen a pilot version before. Pretty cool!

:P

Post by: Gregorbian on January 4, 2006, 11:51 AM: Cool customs, very diverse. I like that Ugnaught (sp?) - does he have a backstory?
The civilians turned out well, although a few headswaps on the jedi might make them look less like jedi. Great stuff!

Post by: darth_ripley on January 4, 2006, 12:22 PM: i like the red Bib the best - nice throwback to the vintage kenner Bib that was a salesman's sample & never sold.
