I did a cartoon-ish custom figure of myself a while back using a vinyl figure and have decided to "update" it into a Star Wars character.

I'll post a picture of myself as well as the custom as it is right now later.

Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with~

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Carnor Jax

While i like the overall figure, i would have went with a non glossy red for the "clothing" parts of the figure.

The JOE head was a good choice but again, the hair always seemed more brown/dk brown to me.

The helmet i would have liked to see the outer most part be a gloss black as it is in the comics.  Gives it that more sinister look rather than Kir Kanos' all red helmet.

The belt seems to stand out just a bit being silver, i may have went with black.

And to add that final last touch to the armor, it would have been cool to see a nice semi gloss black to give it a nice gleam.

But still, a nice custom and i look forward to seeing the double bladed weapon that he and Kanos uses.

It just seems like commenting on a clone that you don't fully "understand" is a bit silly.  Its not a useful suggestion, its a "high and mighty" opinion which i dont find useful at all.

Anyone familiar with modern day HALO jumpers would recognize the fact that they have a LOT of gear and that was the look i was going for.

Not sure what u mean by "junky" phurby, but everyone else i showed seemed to get the jist of it.

Sithfire30,

Haha, thanks man.  I've just been fortunate enough to string together a few good customs :)

gregorbian,

thanks, i had been wanting to do one for a while. . .well ever since the Art of came out, lol, and finally got around to finishing it.  Overall, i like how it turned out but a good camera helps!

thanks for the comments!

I sent him an email through eBay and he replied back knowing my name-name so i reckoned it was him. lol

67
Yeah, its Rickyuk selling the stuff on eBay.

It's definately art for me.  While i sell most of my customs, i do hold onto a few of them that i wouldnt sell for any amount of money.  For me, i get a much bigger kick from knowing that someone around the world has something I MADE in their collection and enjoys it more than i ever would (having it sit on a shelf, unseen, and probably dusty.)

I suppose in a way its also a hobby though, i don't support myself off customs so itd definately only be a "hobby" to me.  But anyone who makes a custom figure and im not talking a parts swap or a repaint, the second you start sculpting or doing extensive work on a figure, it becomes art, for better or worse, lol.

Thanks glassman, do u use a glossy paper to print the cardback out on?

70
Those look GREAT glassman.  How you were able to get CLEAN images of the EPIII clone troopers is very very impressive.  They look STOCK, well done!

One question i have is that you mentioned you "spraymount" yours. . .im curious as to what that means?  Obviously a spray of somesort (im not a complete blockhead lol) but i use labelsheets (stickers) for my cardbacks and always assumed you did too, but any info you could divulge i'd love to hear!

71
Thanks for looking.

A lot of people have asked about the votc stormy head not fitting well onto the clone neck post but it actually wasn't too bad of a fit.

I hated to dink up my votc trooper but the helmet sculpt is SO much better than the past figures that i couldnt see using anything else.

The coolest part about being the first to have a specific clone up for auction is seeing all the "commander faie's" that will begin popping up in the following days :P  Which is funny because months have gone by and not a single Faie.  I think everyones been keeping busy churning out Codys and Neyo's, heh.

73
After an invite from Chewie, I wanted to thank everyone for everything they said about Faie.  Of all the clones, he was the one that impressed me the most visually.

Some of you i recognize from rebelscum, others are new.  I just wanted to take the time to say "Hi" and that there's some really great stuff on these boards!
