Jedi in clone gear is ok as long as that jedi wore that outfit in the tv series. 12" is always ok. Technically, you should be making the item during the group project and not something already made. Work in progress pictures are highly encouraged.

Excellent, thanks for clearing that up  Master_Phruby. Now, to think up another idea... <scratches out his 12 inch Dooku dragon swap too:P>

Hi all, I've updated my photobucket page with some more pics of a couple other figs i'm working on...I'd originally planned to make a Custom Quinlan Vos out of what remained of Dooku, and a dragon figures head.

 I may still go that way once i get some sculpey and black paint, but for now it's more or less dead. The same head i was going to use for quin turned out to look quite at home atop the clone trooper armor (it's a "Hit Team Don" head, for anyone interested).

At a glance it looks enough like a young jango to pass for him, at least to me <shrugs


 And lastly, here's a pic i took just for fun. I didn't have a 12 inch scale Boga, so i had to improvise tho, hope you like it

Wow, a Johnny Depp Jedi...and he can become a separatist, just like in real life...the America-hatin' little Euro-wannabe.

Lookin' forward to a Tom Berenger though...

Oh, and in case you didn't know...Mesa back!


-DD

Welcome back man!  Got any new customs for us?

Holy ****...How did I not notice that...

Maybe because it's 12:56 am?

What does lack of sleep have to do with anything? That's why caffeine was invented! LOL

Thanks for the kind words CHEWIE...I just wish i had a better camera <sighs>

They look to me like they are a separate piece of plastic - if they aren't intended to come off, they still might come off easily after putting them in hot water for a minute - like Aurra Sing's ponytail or any other "appendage" for that matter.

Is that the SAGA/OTC Jabba's Palace Cape?



 

That is indeed the Jedi Luke Cloak. I have three of the OTC version <one opened> and the cape is on my desk right now.. it even curls at the edges the same. The only difference is the hood...

Thanks for the advice OT Freak. I managed to get it fixed, using of all things, a piece i was using for a custom lightsaber! It was part of a stripped Phono plug, and it had a hole just wide enough for the remnants of the neck post, and it holds tightly enough for the head to stay put <an accidental tumble off my monitor proved that LOL.

I'm not sure if this should go here, or in Customizing, but here goes. I was working with the 12 inch Saga dooku last night, trying to get the head off for a custom i was planning...all i wanted to do was see what type of neck peg he had, ie: was it a 2 piece design like the ROTS clone, or a single piece of rubber, like the Saga AOTC obiwan, episode I Darth Maul, etc. Well disaster struck...Since i'd had no trouble popping the neck peg off the clonetrooper without having to boil N pop, I figured i could do the same with Dooku. The neck peg finally gave out, and tore off, leaving a stump of white plastic in the neck well. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried ffurg, as well as google, but they only had repair instructions for dragon bodies. I've only started collecting/customizing 12 inch figures this year, and i'm not too sure what dragon bodies are, though i've heard of others using them in place of the Hasbro bodies. Right now, Dooku looks ok if i leave him in more or less a neutral pose, but i was kind of hoping to use him for a headswap to make a Jedi Luke 12 inch <just swap the head, and either make up a belt, or a custom vest thing like he wore to Jabba's palace. Can anyone help me? Or am i stuck with using some crazy glue to put the ball back on the post, once i get it free of the neck piece? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
