Found this at Flickr.com  Some guys dressed up as Imperial Commandos,  don't know if its the guys from Imperial Commandos.com,  but I thought it might help everyone out.



Enjoy the pic.

Just got some casting supplies to practice with from the local hobby shop.  
I am gonna practice with a cheap Epoxy Resin and Laytex from Castin' Craft  before I move onto the stuff from smoothon.com, which I will be getting later on.

For those who are interested, I will be making casts of my Parjai (Fox) helmet - My  own sculpt which will be seen within the next two weeks on the boards, the speederbike clone head and the TSC Carb Han neck post (read:no evo or gunner heads ).  The casts will probaly be clear first, then I 'll try it with pigments.

Thanks to Glassman for the great tutorial on casting hollow helmets, and to Delaton at ffurg, Bantha5, Smartypants, and Master Phurby for showing how valuable the skill of Casting is to customizing.

PS: I know you guys are probably sick of clones, but I came to the boards way after in the clonerush of 05' so please give me a brake, plus I do more than clones okay.

Finally was able to take a couple pics using a friend's Camera.

However, the lighting was bad so I only have a pic that shows an SA Grievous,  its a crapy pic but it shows off the added points of articulation.



I will update with better pics probably within the next three weeks.

And yeah, he is holding a lightsaber with his foot.

Did something really neat. Yup.  Really Really neat.
 I made a Mandalorian out of a TSC Carbonite Han. Looks really cool.

The drawback.  Alot of dremeling, and I mean loads of it.  As much as a armored microman custom.

The Bonuses:  The TSC Han makes the best fodder ever.  With a little dremeling or cutting on the joints, the body can accept any peg, and I mean any peg.  The legs are more picky though.

BBI, Star Wars, etc.....  Peg size is no longer an issue.

Plus the clothes can be blended to look like a tunic or a jumpsuit, short sleve, long sleve, sleveless...

Ball joint arms, swivel arms, even ball joint thighs (takes extra work though) anything is possible.

Anyways.  I dremeled out the Geonosis Flamethrower Jango and layered the armor (each piece was cut out separately) on top of the Han torso.  Looks Really cool.

PS: The knee ball joints of Pilot Obi's Crappy legs make good elbows for figs with large arms, bulky clothing, or billowing shirts.  Think BBI Elite force arms.

Hi everyone, ya know how Han leans to the side in a slouch?
Well that is because his ball joint peg is stuck.  If you carefully push the torso to the opposite side, the peg will snap free and it will have full side to side and front to back articulation.

Just a heads up for everyone that complained about it.

Cue theme music (temple assault ROTS).  March, march, march. Hey! Lord Vader isn't in front of me!.  Where's my brothers?  Damn where am I?  Jedi Defender.com?  Must execute Order 66.  Where are the Jedi!!! Wait where's the freaking temple?

Oh its a forum, guess I might as well introduce myself.  VF/501 reporting for duty sir!  I did advanced scouting and determined there were Jedi here.  Where are you hiding them?  What no jedi?  You lie!!!  I've seen Metaljedi, Rollajedi, Tonywankenobi,and you tell me there are no jedi!!! 

What was that? Its only a forum you say, oh um, sorry.  Clone trooper singlemindedness ya know,  we get pretty focused on are objectives.  Anyways I am from Kamino or is it Hawaii?  Well it has alot of water around it whichever one it was.  I do custom work on Star Wars, no not my armor, my figures.
My Minimes.  I make, ARC troopers, villians, aliens..... 

Anyway, as a Clone trooper I palce high value on comraderie, which is adbundant here so I think I'll stick around (if ya have a problem with that you can talk to my DC-15, hehe),  I also post at FFURG but I lack a digital camera, so no pics of my customs yet.  Just trying to get a feel of the forums and make friends, and trading partners.  I can be highly critical of your guy's and girl's customs but I also desire crtiques on mine once I post pics.  I will also offer suggestions and praise, and I desire only acceptance and respect because that is what I have for everyone here (except *******s).

I think you all do excellent work and I live by the motto that there is always room for improvement.

BTW until I get a digital camera you'll have to suffer through all of my suggestions, critiques, and jokes and I'll be invulnerable from yours bwahahahaha.


Found the temple.  Oooh gotta go shoot a jediscum in the back,  see ya later.

Hi every one.  Some of you already know me from the FFURG forums, but this is my first time posting a topic here.

Anyways,  been working on my customs for a bit, but as some of you know I don't have a camera so know pics yet.  But once I get one and take some shots I'll post'em.

For those of you that don't know me, I'll descrbe my customs as best I can.

SA Grievous: I added articulation to the ankles (top and bottom), hips, elbows and upper arms. Then I straightened the right side hand.

Ankles: Added a ROTS battle droid elbow to the ankle and used the post and the ball and socket joint of a gundam for the feet.
Arms: Added ROTS battle droid elbows in the place of the originals, cut the elbows off a EP I bdroid and cut the Grievous arms below thw shoulder armor and slightly above the new elbows.  then glued the EP I pieces in, so that the arm can rotate.
Hips: Popped off the legs, cut and removed the post that held them.  then glued in to ball joints from a gundam and popped the legs onto those.

WIP Deluxe SA Galactic Marine: Built by chopping up multiple figures.

Dremeled out a POTF2 AT-ST pilot head so the helmet could fit on top of a clone helmet.  Then cut a section out of an old white tee shirt to make the face cloth,  glued it into the AT-ST helmet in the proper position so the visor showed.
Then I dremeled out the front and back of the SAGA snowtrooper torso.  made it so it can fit over the clone armor and trimmed the bottom a little.  Added straps to the top to hold the front and back together.  Then I added snap ons to the bottom side so  the armor can be taken on and off.  For the straps I used a SAGA endor trooper's gun strap, all sliced up and the snap on point from two of the CW ARC troopers Kama.
Drilled a hole in the back of the SA clone to match up with the snow trooper armor.  Then I cut off the pelvis with a dremel and glued the SAGA 06 han in carbonite pelvis in its place.
The kama and legs are still WIP and so is the paint job.

WIP Phase 2 armor ARC troopers- FanFic 2x

Used the SA clone, the #33 clone commanders kama and head, the ARC troopers paldron and guns, extra SA clone belts ( for the pouches), straps from the weapons of 12" army figures and vinyl sheets from a black binder cover to make holsters and pouches.

You'll see them once I get a camera.
