No problem Ennis, I don't keep secrets.   

Here is how I made it.  I may work on the hair some more though.

head - Sahara figure
torso - OTC Dagobah Luke
arms - OTC Dagobah Luke
hands - ROTS Ki Adi Mundi
tunic drape - ROTS Agen Kolar
legs - Evolutions Dooku

Then I used black thread and some lace material for the hair and the straps on his bicep and wrists. 

 

[Famine]

I'm still blown away.

That Quinlan is unbelievable! I think you did a great job, Chewie. One of the best I've ever seen. The parts choices are inspired. Most people do the Jedi version of Vos, I like that you did the rogue version.

The skin color is fine, I think. It's a little off, but remember, this is Dark Side Quinlan.   

Can't WAIT to see him in action.

-DD

[Gregorbian]

I didn't notice the updated picture of Vos.  The hair looks great now, it doesn't seem as bulky.  I have to say, I'm really floored by the paint apps on this guy, it's even better than your "normal" (read: excellent) paint apps. 

[Fritzkrieg]

Great Choice of Parts for Quinlin!

Very nice. This a great representation of this character.

The Paint Aps are Dark and Grity>Perfect for Vos, The Skin Tone is perfect, I use the same Walmart Paints and have a hard time mixing up a good batch of skin tone. What Colors did you mix to get it?

The Way you attached the Kiadi Hands to the Luke Arms is seemless.

The Hair> Very effective, You could use this technique to make a great Bob Marley Custom.

Keep um Commin!

[GeneralBelIblis]

chewie, your work never ceases to amaze me! not only do you make excellent figures, you make a ton of them! im loving the rykolf enloe series!

[CHEWIE]

Fritz - on the paint, I just mixed some tan paint with black, and watered it down a bit.

Thanks guys - actually I have redone the Quinlan figure.  Last night I decided just to go for it as I wasn't happy with the hair.  Please let me know what you think.  I realize this isn't as good as what Hasbro could do... and I am really frustrated with the hair.  I think now he looks too much like a damn cave man. I might have to rework it a bit more.  The only part that is really bugging me now is the damn space above his right eye.



 

[BrentS]

Chewie, in the version his hair seems to "wide" just above his temples.  I like the previous version a little better I think

Thanks for the feedback.  I appreciate that kind of criticism.

I agree with you 100%, I was afraid his damn temples looked too exposed. I have plan to fix it tonight.

 

[baragon]

i have to say i don't think you should have outlined his tatoos and the arms should be SA
ny opinion

[CHEWIE]

Baragon, I understand about the tatoos.  It just seemed to be what I wanted to go with because in the comics from what I've seen they are outlined, and with all the comments about his skin tone I thought I should do something to distinguish has tatoos.  On the arms, what arms would you have used?  I thought about the Anakin arms from that sleeveless figure, but I'm not going to go spend another $25.00 for a set of those for this custom.  It's gotten expensive enough as it is, and since I wanted to paint the skin a different tone, the SA joints would have probably chipped.  Not something I want to deal with really.  Anything you like about the figure?

I did just work on it some more though, and I'm finished with it now.  No more changes or I'll vomit.   If I mess with his hair anymore, I'm going to pull my own damn hair out.

I went to an antique store and bought a figure just for more braids.  $10.00 later and a chopped up Eeth Koth and here's what the final result looks like.



And here's a little collage pic showing his dark emotions.



 

[Famine]

I can believe him as Quinlan!

Kevin

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Kevo, I guess it turned out ok.  Not as good as I'd like, but it should be ok for me.

Here's another custom that I worked on last evening and just got finished.

Outer Rim Pilot



helmet - SAGA Captain Typho
torso - SAGA2 Han Solo
arms - SAGA2 Han Solo
pelvis - SAGA2 Han Solo
legs - POTF2 Commtech Luke Skywalker
gloves - AT-RT driver
holster - OTC Cloud Car pilot

The pieces were a bit more difficult to get together than I thought, but I think it turned out ok.

 

[Quazar]

Chewie,

I must admit, I liked Quinlan's old hair.  Sorry!  The new version seems just a little too "big".  He almost looks like Kit Fisto with a head full of tentacles.

I'm sorry, I know you worked your butt off on this and were frustrated - I hope these criticisms don't add to your frustrations.  I thought the first version was an excellent, excellent custom.  This one is just one "excellent". 

And I REALLY like the "Outer Rim Pilot".  Hee hee hee....
