Gregorbian's Customs - UPDATE 07/04/06

[ThePerennial]

I love your SA Imperial officer, very cool!

I also absolutely ADORE your mandalorians. I'm amandalorian fanatic, and it's great that you're adding variety to your mando'ade. The Djas Phur belt is an awesome choice. I used it for my self-mandalorian custom and changing the belt really makes a difference hen it comes to mandalorians.

[Gregorbian]

Thanks for the kind words everybody!  It is definitely a great motivating factor to receive compliments from such talented customizing brethren   

Brent - I am going to try sculpting small shoulder pads onto the Mandalorian currently without them, hopefully that will make the shoulders look more "natural"

Commander Korba - Yeah, that is a BBi Elite Force head.  I bought it a long time ago and forget which one it is (I'm thinking "mortar team" but I could be wrong).  Last time I checked, TRU.com had them on "sale" (still more expensive than finding them in the store, but lately I have not seen them at retail) and they had the figure that I used "in stock."

No more finals = 2 more Fetts

Jango Fett mini-bust:





Major thanks to Glassman for the jetpack and pistol casts!   


Boba Fett w/removable helmet:




Sorry for the blurry pics, I couldn't find my brother's good digital camera.

Anyway, these were WIPs for about 3 months, but I was finally able to finish them yesterday.  Let me know what you think!

[BrentS]

Greg,
Welcome back!!!  Both your Fett updates look great.  What scale are those busts?  Did you hollow-out helmets, make fresh molds, or get one of Glassmans.

[Ruprecht]

Good stuff Gorb.  I really like that Jango bust-up. 

[Gregorbian]

Thanks guys,

The mini-bust is the same size/scale as Gentle Giant mini-busts (1/6th scale).  The head I bought on eBay from that CDCraftn guy several months ago, and the jetpack and pistol were casted by Glassman for me.

The Boba Fett was a VOTC Boba Fett with a Jango Fett (Kamino Escape) helmet and head.  I'll try to take some clearer pics if I can find my brother's good digital camera.

[Gregorbian]

Sorry for the double reply, but I took some more pics tonight...

Here is a Custom Microman Master Chief that I made a few months ago. 






The helmet cast is from Glassman (thanks again man!  You're a lifesaver) and the Battle Rifle is a cast from Master_Gunzz



Here are some clearer pics of Boba Fett



Questions/Comments/Advice always appreciated!

[Smartypants1635]

High pitched squeaky grunt voice. LOOK DEMON!!Ahuhahhaaaa.

Nice job on Cheif he looks cool, you got the armor to work real well with the joints.
And the Boba is just sick. in a good way

[Fritzkrieg]

Great Update!

Boba Fett looks Great! Is the Helmet the Glassman Cast or did you use the Jango Fet Helmet?

Master Chief is awsome. I assume you stared by Haking up a Master Guns Figure Cast?

Han Solo looks Great, Did You Swap the New SVOTC onto the VOTC? Looks Much Better.

Keep up the Great Work.

[Reid]

Master Chief- Love this, he looks really great! Is the Grunt from Joyride Studio's 7' HALO line? 5/5

Boba- Another great custom. His head reminds me of how he looked in ESB: Infinities. What Jango head did you use for his head? Kamino Escape?

[Gregorbian]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Smarty - Thanks man, that particular Microman body lent itself pretty well to Spartan style armor. 

Fritz - The helmet and the head are from the Kamino Escape Jango Fett. 
        - Thanks on the kind words for the Master Chief.  I sculpted the armor from Sculpey clay.  I wish I had one of Master Gunzz's Master Chief casted figures!  Were you able to get one?  He never got back to me on them.   
        - The Han Solo was actually just the original VOTC figure, I just put him there for scale purposes  .  I do highly recommend putting the Saga 2 Carkoon head on the new VSTC Endor Han body - it looks much better.

HunterofThePegs - Thanks man!  The Grunt is from Joyride Studio's 3" figure line (the figures that came in the 2 and 5-packs as well as the vehicles.  I think the grunt is pretty close in scale to Star Wars scale.
    - I'm not familiar with ESB: Infinities, is that one of those alternate storyline comics?

[Reid]

Yeah, it's an alternative retelling of ESB if Luke had died on Hoth. Boba Fett makes an appearence sans-helmet. It's published by Dark Horse, and is a pretty good read.

[CHEWIE]

Cool updates Greg.  I think the Bust Ups are really well done.  I still use those mainly for 3-3/4" fodder but I like what you did.

Boba Fett with removable helmet looks fantastic.  This would be a very, very popular figure at retail.  I like how you darkened his armor a bit.

 

[Gregorbian]

Thanks CHEWIE, I always appreciate your feedback.

Just a note though, the Jango Fett is actually "mini-bust" scale (1/6th, or 12" scale).  I made him from a bootleg Kaiyodo Boba Fett vinyl model (the same one I used to make the Boba Fett mini-bust).  He's about 6 inches tall.  It's no big deal, but I just thought I should clarify that  .

Now I'm at a dilemma...do I finish off some more WIP customs or do I play Halo 2 for 5 hours...  The decisions I have to make when my girlfriend visits her grandparents for the weekend

Finish your WIPs.  They will leave a lasting impression, five hours of halo will be forgotten
