Monthly Customizing Challenge - Previous Months

[Ryan]

I have a little surprise for the head. It's one of Ryan Shaw's (bantha5) custom Bossk head. He even painted it for me. I just hope the rest of the figure will not seem out of place.

Hey Ryan, what is the quote from on your signature?

It's a Stargate SG-1 quote.

I'm excited to see the head. I really like bantha5's work. I think he registered here a while ago but he never posts here.

The blue harvest thing seems like a reasonable idea. And seeing as how I kinda left my seperatist WIP at home when I left. This could be better for me to try right now. I still want to do the fem trooper.( go ahead you preverts laugh) but Its all about lack of supplies for me right now.

i can't wait to see the head for your Trando terrorist Phruby, it looks great already.
i wish i could do a Gamorrean terrorist, i was planning to do a vintage style, but everything kinda went crazy here and there's just no time to do it - darnit! 
 

[Smartypants1635]

yeah, um..... if any of you need organic seps, go to the republic commanod site, they have awsome refs. for trandos and geo's

[Tijuanajedi]

Cool idea, I have some customs to smbmit, will do so later in the week.

You know, with the front page mention (thanks JD!) I am surprised more people haven't gotten into this, but I am sure a few might have at least seen what we've been up to.

Just about 10 days and I can show my entry for this month.  I think you guys will like him.

You know, with the front page mention (thanks JD!)

You are welcome!   

My figure is progressing a bit slow (I finished up my Pilots whilie I waited for paint to dry on my BH), but I think I should have him done in time for the reveal next week.   

Anyone have any recomendations for a nice "tech" backpack?  I was thinking of using a modified Dash Rendar pack, but I don't really like it...

[Ruprecht]

GI Joe's Hard Drive has a decent "tech-looking" backpack.

[Phrubruh]

My terrorist is finished.

[Gregorbian]

That's cool!  I like the paint job, he definitely looks grungy.  I like the way you extended his legs to make him taller. 

[Phrubruh]

Thanks! I had to. His arms looked way too long.

[CHEWIE]

Very nice custom Phruby.  I guess now that someone has shown one, I won't wait until the end of the month to post mine?  Hmmm.... don't know yet.  I have one done, and plan on starting on a second one today.

It's a good use of parts that you used to assemle this guy, and I like his accessories too.  The longer legs make him look tall, which I think is a good thing. 

The best part about this custom though to me is the skin tone coloring.  It's nice to see one of these guys that isn't green.

Well done!

 

[Phrubruh]

Thanks! I tried to make his skin color the same as the head. I kind of got close. I had to make his legs longer because his arms looked too long. Thanks to both Ryans (sithlordchaos and bantha5) for the parts.

[Ruprecht]

Nice job on the paint!  The leg work you put into him makes him much better proportioned.  Did you sculpt those?

[Phrubruh]

I extended the legs with an extra piece of another character's leg. Then covered it with sculpty to blend in.
