Hi all!

I know I haven't had much to say in the Photonovel forum recently, but I'm hoping that will change real soon, as I'm preparing to launch a new and rather goofy series of photocomics within the next week or so chronicling the silly escapades of a nondescript Imperial bureaucrat.  Here is a preview pic for your viewing pleasure:



Enjoy!  More soon!

I know I haven't been posting much, mainly due to school and 1:1 life in general.  But I've thankfully been able to get in some 12" customizing time this fall, and just wanted to share with you a few preliminary shots of my latest two 12" figures.  They're both done, but I haven't yet posted them on my site, and I still have to take more (and better) pictures of them both.

First up, a 12" rendition of Diva Shaliqua, the blue-haired slave girl seen in Jabba's box in Ep. I.  I used a 12" Slave Leia body (& bikini) and the head from Alagua, the first in BBI's line of 1:6 Goth figures.  (I promise it looks more blue than this in real life.)  Naturally, the hair's been restyled and the makeup repainted.  The pants are handmade. 



Secondly, a 12" rendition of my fanfictional Gand Findsman of ages past, Trynfor the Mad.  Almost too many disparate parts to name.  The head, harness, and breathing gear are of course from the Hasbro 12" Zuckuss, and the body is a Hasbro G. I. Joe body, which gives him lots of articulation and makes him taller than Zuckuss.  The clothing is from various Hasbro and non-Hasbro sources; I wish I could take credit for sewing his coat, but it's from this figure..



More to come soon when they're properly posted on my site.  In the meantime, hope you all enjoy!

Since so many customizers here have their own threads for posting their new custom figures, I thought I'd do the same -- if the mods and such approve, that is.

And for my first post on this thread, I offer a simple but (hopefully) satisfying custom that I've had planned for some time yet only recently acquired the parts for (thanks to Pendragon!).  This is Baron Fel, sometime Imperial TIE fighter ace and eventual defector to the Rebellion, in TIE pilot's attire.  The body and helmet are from the Saga TIE Pilot, and the head and neck -- which took some dremeling to attach properly -- are from ROTS Bail Organa. 

I'm still working on my helmet hollowing technique, but this one fits reasonably well, and has only 3 holes instead of 4!    Note also that I have two chest boxes for this figure: one with tubes, for when he wears the helmet, and one without tubes, for when he doesn't.

And now, without further ado...

My first custom since oral exams!  I have just finished (well, for now) my Movie Poster Leia custom, which I'd been planning for a while but never got around to finishing till now.  You can see her right here.  (Just by way of warning: It's Geocities, so don't be surprised if it balks when more than five people try to view the page!  If it gets really really bad, I'll post pictures here, too.)

I have definitely taken some artistic license with this one, which people may or may not like.   For one thing, I left the necklace on from the POTF2 Ceremonial Leia, rather than sanding it off. It's just that sanding it off always seems to make the neck end up really rough and ugly, and besides, I don't think the necklace is out of character for this outfit at all.  (It is, after all, an Organa heirloom.)  For another thing, her pose is far from looking exactly like the poster.  I at least hope to have acheived something similar, if not identical. 

In any case, here she is, and I hope you all enjoy!  Do let me know what you think.

Cheers,
the Findswoman

Just got my end of a trade from the amazing accomplished customizer and photonovellist, Quazar!  All arrived in great shape, with great communication, and Quazar is an all-round great guy.  Highly recommended to all! 

Thanks again, Quazar -- hope to trade again sometime!
