In my creation of this custom, I combined a lot of the aspects seen in the character books, both omnibus of the "tales of the jedi", and the internet.
I've been working on him for a while, and honestly I think it came out pretty good.

With Nomi
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/custom%20star%20wars/masterthonkids070.jpg)
I resculpted his face, and removed horns a plenty off the head.
At one time he was a red triceratops.
The best part of this dino is the fact it growls like a dinosaur, when you move the front left leg.

This is my take on the comic books style of the fig.

Exar's cape cloak thingie can come forward over his right side as well over his shoulder. He also has shoulder armor over the right shoulder as well. I will take better pics of both of them another time, not really feeling like it right now.

Great Looking Customs Mate, Welcome to the Yards.
-
Yes, Welcome indeed! That Master Thon is awesome! I've always thought he was a cool concept of a Jedi, and you've captured him well! I also like your Exar Kun!
-
Welcome to the yards and great customs!!
-
Cool customs.
-
Wow, that is an impressive bunch of customs you have there. I really liked the Exar Kun figure and put him on the front page.
Welcome to the Shipyards!
-
Welcome on board. Your custom work looks very interesting. It is always nice to see some EU customs.
-
Thanks for the welcome and awesome compliments, and holy crap, thanks for the front page plug.
That is truely awesome!!! ;D
Thon has always been one of my fav jedi. One I think hasbro could do as a beast figure or battle pack with a Nomi Sunrider.
Again thanks for all the great compliments, welcomes and the front page.
I've been making customs for about 5 yrs now.

Welcome. Great customs. I like all the clones and Bao Dur is my favorite. looks like he walked out of the game.
-
Your Ulic Qel Droma and Exur Kun are better than the ones about to come out by Hasbro. Have you seen the new pics of them? Don't even look like them. You have captured their likeness man. And Thon? Great job on all of them. Cay Qel Droma is terrific too. Now you need the Twilek dude, can't think of his name right off the bat, but him and Sylvar the cat chick. You need the whole main cast now. Keep up the good work brotha!
-
a fantastic bunch of customs mate!! Welcome to the shipyards!!! Cay Quel-droma looks awesome, well done buddy
-
Great customs and welcome to the yards.
-
Yes, I think if they can do the Dewback with Sandtrooper battle pack, they can do a Thon and Nomi Sunrider battle pack! Nice work on Bao Dur also!
-
Welcome to the yards! Great customs I love the dino!! and the clones of course are always welcome here.
-
dude these are sick! i love that fordo
-
WOW. I love those KOTOR figures, especially Bao-Dur. Looks exactly like the game. And those clones and Nomi Sunrider are fantastic! Welcome to the yards!!
-
Awesome customs thoser clones are really cool! the weathering is awesome!
-
Thanks again for all the welcomes and the comments.
I really like doing clones and mandos the most for some reason.
Jedi are ok, sith are more fun.
The kotor jedi and characters from both the games and comics are a lot of fun cause they are so different from the norm, and there is a lot of freedom with some of them.
Here's a couple more I've done:
Cad Bane

I was happy how this came out.
I completely by hand painted the 501st symbol, usually my hands shake too much for such clean looking details.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/custom%20star%20wars/cadbane029.jpg)
-
PHENOMINAL CUSTOMS! I am really particular to the Fordo, and the 501st Jet Trooper. It might be a bit late, but Welcome to the 'Yards!
-
Man, that Tholme is sweet! This is one I've been wanting for a long time!
-
Man, those really rock! How about a recipe for that stunning Cad Bane?
-
I love that 501st jet trooper dude!
-
The realistic style Cad Bane is top-notch. Hasbro should take a look at this figure
-
Wow. Welcome to the Yards. That Bane looks awesome.
-
That bane and the jedi look cool.
-
Man, those really rock! How about a recipe for that stunning Cad Bane?
Here's my recipe.
Well the coat is from a dreadknock, with the mullet, from a few years back, the boots I made myself.
The sabres are supposed to be his boot rockets, those wonky sabres are the closest thing I had too them.
The under shirt I sculpted on top of a tac jango body with kneadatite.
The upper collar is made again using shrink wrap, heated and then cut and glued to fit.
The gun belt is made from two jango holsters, shrink wrap, green metal wire and glue.
The legs are also from tac jango, cut down a bit for the correct height.
The boots were made again using shrink wrap and cut an glued together over boots from some general target or trus military figs boots.
The gaunts are from evo pack jango
The hands are pilot obi-wan from rots
The hat was made using a tattoine luke's hat and Kneadatite and the cut to shape.
The coat was cut down and weathered, taken from some dreadknock
The head is a figure from the cantina scene from the power of the jedi line
The head tubes are from the mcquarrie leia back pack
A lot went into this bad boy.
Again thanks for all the awesome, welcomes and comments.

all those mando's look great MTS spudda would be proud!! i love the idea of venku i always wanted to have a go at doing him, maybe i will have a crack at him in the future!!
thanks for sharing these new and old customs of your, great stuff!!
-
Wow, I love that Mandalore the Great. Heck that Cody looks sweet too. I will be honest, the new one's hips remind me of an armored female's anatomy and this one looks much better imo. Wow, I just love the RC series figures too. Nice work. Expect front page treatment tomorrow. We have a policy here at the Shipyards, GOOD CUSTOMS MAKE THE FRONT PAGE PERIOD. I just have to slap Clint's hands every once in awhile or he won't let me beat him to the front page when figs this good show up.
-
Lol, thanks Tamer.....
When I got the hasbro fully articulated lameity that is their cody. I was totally let down that a company that makes millions of dollars can't make something better than a poor slob, with three kids and a wife too support.
The head sums up the stupidity of that new cody.
Couldn't they have used a different head than the rots head?
No beatings of any one on my account. ;D
Thanks agian for the honor of letting me hit the front page, I really appreciate it.
To TCC- Thanks for the compliments. The venku is special too me for a lot of reasons. But the most important reason is the fact, that I actually was talking to Karen Traviss through email one night, and mentioned I did a custom Venku.
She was very happy with the way it turned out. She even sent the pictures to someone she was friends with at hasbro.
I saved those emails, just to reread them, and know that an author of stories I loved, appreciated my handy work.
Shame that everything she built, is now totally destroyed.
-
Wow thats an awesome story mate, i have only ever talked to her once via email and she was very kind. i love that she loved your Venku, thats awesome... i was toying with that name for my son Jaspa but the misses shot me down lol
-
Wow thats an awesome story mate, i have only ever talked to her once via email and she was very kind. i love that she loved your Venku, thats awesome... i was toying with that name for my son Jaspa but the misses shot me down lol
It was a humbling, but an up lifting experience to talk to her and have her love my custom.
I tried venku on my third child, but my wife was not into it. But I got Cody instead, so no loss there lol.

LOL, keep your hands to yourself, Tamer!!
Love this latest wave of custom goodness, Skepsis. That Mandalore the great is stupendous! How long have you been making customs, if I may ask?
-
I really like your Mandalor the Great, and I just started reading the Karen Traviss novels so I recognize Bardan's name! Interesting to see him in full armor, he just got the chest piece in the book I'm reading.
-
sweet. ;D
I like mandalore the great the best out of all of those.
my next few mando customs are going to be nontraditional mandos as well actually, a similar mandalorian commando design as your mandalore the great as well as a few standard commandos.
-
excellent mando's mate
-
Mandalore the Great is soooo awesome!!! Such great detail and so true to the video game. I think you even managed to capture some of his dark side in that custom coz it looks really mean. Fantastic!!
-
Wow this looks good. I like em all. Finally got em on the front page. The customs guys are going crazy good lately.
-
Those are some bad ass customs bro love the mandos they look great!!!
-
great looking customs, I like the colour you choose for the Jango Fett figure.
-
these are sick dude, i love mandalore, KOTOR is my favorite era!

Here's some mandos:

Love this latest wave of custom goodness, Skepsis. That Mandalore the great is stupendous! How long have you been making customs, if I may ask?
I started customizing customs around the time after rots. Before that I was mostly into models, zoids, gundams, tanks, planes...
A friend of mine did up some customs that he wanted from rots, including a Com Cody and I was bitten by it.
I started with clones, went to jedi and then it just went on.
I made mandalore the great back in 2007.
I've been wanting to try my hand at him again, too see if I can improve him.
Again thanks to everyone for all the compliments, it's easy to feel welcome here.
-
sweet dude how did u make the commander cody arms
-
Venku Skirata has some funky armor. Amazing customs.
-
sweet dude how did u make the commander cody arms
The arms for Cody are actually a normal clones, but with the shoulder plates removed and sanded down.
I then got an rots cody and cut the shoulder plates off with an xacto knife, then dremeled the inside of the plates till they were basically just thin and pliable.
I then carefully super glued them over the shoulder joints of the custom.

It's actually a generic target or trus military action figure.
I honestly forget which store I bought it at.

OH MAN!!! these are just to damn GOOD!!! NO I LOVE THEM!!!
-
That Kal Skirata is the best I've seen. Hopefully Hasbro looks at this site. They don't think there is any interest in EU characters? Just goes to show what people really want. More clones. More Mandalorians. More new Jedi and Sith. Keep up the good work dude.
-
Awesome I making my own guys too I have to shave down join so it willl not rub the paint off when bending the joins. But they look awesome Mandos
-
I'm gonna have to go check out the generic figures for that head. And I can now see the flaws in my own Kal Skirata, such as his grey undersuit. Looks like I'll be working mine over again later. Thanks for the help!
-
Nice work on Vau and Skirata. It is interesting how people see characters differently. For instance, I always pictured Vau with an angular almost gaunt face. I like your version though. It looks like you put some time and effort into these two. They turned out really well.
-
WOW! Great looking Mando's. That head you used for Kal is one of the best I have seen!
-
JUST finished Triple Zero, and that's almost EXACTLY how I envisioned Kal armored up. Very cool.
-
Awesome customs....I love the gold paintwork on the mask, infact they are both fatastic!
-
Kal Skirata looks extremely awesome, the head sculpt is very interesting.
great job

Wow. Wow. Wow. Daggone nice. See what I missed while I was dealing with over three feet of snow. On the front page! I love the Reupblic Commando theme here lately. Make sure everyone signs the petition to keep Karen writing!

Nice figures.

Awesome Kal and Walon!

I gave him more height, since the marvel colored fig is the same height as the boba fig. Though in the series, books, comics, whatever, Dengar is much taller than Boba.

Nice customs, dude!
-
Nice leg adjustments to Dengar. I didn't even notice it until i read on, thats how flawless it was!! i like the colour scheme too.
-
Sweet update. I really like how closely your Jixton matches that comic book cover. Heck all of em are good, on the fp.
-
What an awesome update! Great group of customs but that Jixton is very impressive. Great job bringing the image from the comic to life.
-
Very nice work, there. That Dengar turned out great and that scratchbuilt helmet you made for nein numb was just amazing!
-
Talon Karde is my favourite...
-
Thanks guys for all the awesome compliments.
Jixton is one of my favs I have ever done. It was a pain to say the least.
The body at one time was an evo maul, so painting that skin tone was really really hard.
The dengar was one I've been wanting to do for a long time.
When the comic pack dengar came out I was like, what the heck is this pos?
It didn't fit dengar in any way at all.
So I picked up my character book and went to work on it.
The Nien was one I just wanted too do. Since we didnt get a figure of him, well not a new fig but a repaint of him, I decided to make one of my own.
That Talon I made a while back.
It's at least 2 to 3 yrs old.
I could have done the head joint better on it, but as far as the body goes I thought it came out well.
-
i love that dengar dude!
-
I've been wanting to do a super arty dengar for forever... Just never have found the right mix of joe and star wars parts for him yet... that and I don't have a spare dengar laying around to cut up!
-
REALLY GOOD JOB!!! :D
-
i love that dengar dude!
Thanks CM96!!
Hey Mountie thanks for the compliments!!
I'd like too see you do that Spuda.
-
man bro you are one talented due great job!
-
Thanks Kreeper....if I posted some of my originals, believe me you'd see the change in skills over the years.
-
Don't be shy, I would love to see them. Yes, it is interesting to see the skill levels of a custom maker improve over time.

Redone, rethought and much much better imho.

those movie style clones look realy good. Love the rex.
the RC's look good too. Idk about the heads, they look like they have no necks... how did you replace the neck balls? or did you hollow out the heads to fit on the large ball?
-
nvm, I looked at them again and the only one that looks a little off is the last one, the one with the different head. The others look perfect.
-
I actually removed the ball itself from the death star gunners bodies. I then removed the ball joint from the rc figs.
I then took some brass rod and drilled a hole in the ball, and glued them together.
Then I drilled, and leveled out the neck of the rc figs, and glued the ball to the neck.
I'll take better picks of them if you want me too.
Personally, the no neck looking is probably the shitting pics, and the all black.

gotchya, I kind of figured that's what you had done, swapped the balls of each neck and all. The "no neck" illusion is probably the angle. I still don't know how I'm going to tackle my RC figure to get it the way I want it...

The skepsis strikes!
I love em all, buddy! What did you use for the visor on your legacy style Cody?
-
All very nice!! That Mando is fantastic. One of my favourites ive seen so far!!
-
Gorbin looks sweet! Is that the Holiday Edition version of Boba that you used? Did you shrink the neck ball on it, or dremel out a head to fit?
-
Great update. Love the Legasy style figures from the CW.
-
Love those clones!!!
Awesome job man!
-
wow nice set of customs MTS
I agree with Luke, the legacy style CW clones are absolutely amazing
great job
10/10
-
Thats a stellar line up of customs, Lots of details, Love'em
-
Nice job man. Really impressed.
-
Wow! Thats a big update! they're all great but my favorites gotta be omega and Goran
-
Nice update. all of them look really cool.
-
The skepsis strikes!
I love em all, buddy! What did you use for the visor on your legacy style Cody?
I took a visor off of a rots Cody helm with an x-acto knife, then cut a slit into the aotc head, then I worked the visor into the grove with super glue on it.
I used the glue for two things, one to hold and the other to fill the hole.
I used an enamel white paint, to further fill the slit, and give it a more washed, weathered white look.
The faux targeting stock is actually a targeting stock from a mando helmet, cut down to a point.
Gorbin looks sweet! Is that the Holiday Edition version of Boba that you used? Did you shrink the neck ball on it, or dremel out a head to fit?
I dremeled out the head. The head is another of those target or Trus military fig heads.
Yeah the body is the holiday boba...but the legs are clone legs, with heat shrink on them to give them a thicker look.
Again guys, thanks for all the compliments.
It's nice too be on a site, where they appreciate everyone's styles and not just the most popular.

Here's some Omega Squad customs I did a while back.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/custom%20star%20wars/omegasquad003.jpg)
HELL YES!! You perfected what Hasbro started but failed to finish and with PERFECT results! I love Republic Commandos and I truly love seeing customs of them.
Aotc/clone wars movie style Cody
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/custom%20star%20wars/newcustomsahsoka008.jpg)
I really like the orange you chose here, it's definitely an improvement over the movie accurate yellowish-orange bleh color of the 212th, very NICE!
Goran Beviin

I really dig that you made a custom of this character, bonus points for it being a ridiculously clean, concise paint job. :)
Captain Rex movie style
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/custom%20star%20wars/newcustom2038.jpg)
now why the f--k can't Hasbro do that too? That's way up my wishlist and seeing the custom of it makes me happy.
Com Gree aotc/clone wars movie type
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/custom%20star%20wars/gree004.jpg)
I've been wondering when I'd see someone make a realstic style custom of Gree with his funky dual mohawks. Frankly, I think that hairstyle has become intgral to the character, I can't take the TAC figure seriously now with that full head of jet black hair under the helmet. LOL
-
Thanks NFC!!!
I still don't understand why in the hell hasblow doesn't make movie etyle figs of the clone war peoples. They would sell really well imho.
-
Wow, love that Rex, Gree, and Cody!
-
Mandalore, you made the FP today! I love that Goran!
-
Thanks bro!!!
Again thanks to everyone who enjoys my customs.
-
Love those Omega squad customs!
Jon

the gree is pretty darn cool

Thanks guys

Just wanted to let you all know that I HAVE some works in progress:
I have :
snowy anakin from tcw in real movie style
Marvel Legend sized Kol Skywalker
And others too come that I have been working on.
-
Sounds good. Bring em on! Love the sound of a real Snowy Anakin.
-
I do so love realistic versions of CW characters.
-
I do so love realistic versions of CW characters.
I enjoy making them.
I think if enough customizers made them, and sold them on ebay.
Hasblo would get the idea and start making them.
No one can convince me that hasblo doesn't check sites, and ebay for what is popular.

I agree. Totally. I saw a homemade drop gunship and At-te prior to them making one and I am assured that the thousands that auction got convinced them more than anything to make it and go with bigger vehicles.

I agree totally.

Here's my latest customs
Darth Sion
http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/Darth%20Sion/
-
that is perfect awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
You have some cool stuff here. Did I miss the Darth Scion pic?
-
Nice work on the Sion fig. I'm with you on the realistic Clone Wars figs; eventually Hasbro will make them---that seems almost inevitable. They'll get tired of trotting out the same old stuff and want to draw us collectors in one last time and float realistic versions of Anakin, Aksoka, Obi-Wan, numerous clones, etc. to keep us hanging on one last time. I'd like to see it happen, but it also kinda makes me think that it would be signaling the end of a great focus on collectors... :-[
-
I must be crazy...I am not seeing the Darth Scion pic on any of the pages. Can someone help me?

Im working on a custom cantina band set.
Here is one done and one that is a hasbro make. Which one do you guys think is which?
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/up%20coming%20customs/DSCI0023.jpg)
-
I am sure the better looking one of the two is yours. HasBEEN is what their name should be.
-
I have to agree...hasbro is really not trying anymore it seems.
-
Cannot wait to see how the Cantina Band turns out.
-
Nice changes made to these guys; will these guys be playing any Bar Mitzvahs anytime soon? ;)
All kidding aside, nice work on the soft goods and making them seem more realistic than Hasbro's most recent concoctions!
-
I agree
your version looks a lot better

I wish they had soft goods....but mine are all hard plastic and no soft goods. The one on the right is hasbros and the soft good just look awful to me imho.
I agree
your version looks a lot better
Thanks for the compliments guys...I may have another finished tonight. I still need two more bodies to finish them totally.

Happy Easter!

Sorry for the pic quality, they were quick shots
-
Really great job on these!! :)
-
Thank you I appreciate that.
-
They look awesome! Great job!
-
These look as though they could be Hasbro's protos that they show us at SDCC, TF, or the like. Adding the articulation makes them look like they belong in the TVC line. Excellent work!
-
Cool to see some Jedi gettin' some love. Good work!
-
Looks good to me, especially Vebb. On the front page. Good to see you back.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
It's been tough to get things done with all the kids, and the job hunting.
They look awesome! Great job!
Thanks bro!!

Thank you, that means a lot. The Vebb I'm really proud of. It took a lot of sculpting to bring out his vestments. I'm trying to do figures that I have a feeling hasbro will never make, or not anytime soon. Especially all the miscellaneous jedi.
Too say it looks good enough to be done by the professionals really makes me feel good.
Cool to see some Jedi gettin' some love. Good work!
Gotta love the jedi and sith....MANDOS more so, but the outta the box figures are the ones I want too see. I know hasbro won't do them in fear that no one will buy them, unlike the millions of hans, chewies and lukes ::).
Looks good to me, especially Vebb. On the front page. Good to see you back.
[/quote
Thanks bro...it's good to be back and making customs. Thanks for the front page love.
The recipe for him:
Mon Cal warrior head-with face redo
Hands are mon cal warrior
The body and boots are from Coleman Trebor
I cut down the boots so that he would be shorter. I sculpted the vestments using greenstuff
I'll get better pics of all them up asap.
-
The recipe sounds good, I can expect a lot of folks will want a realistic Vebb in their Jedi Customs Collection. Why Hasbro won't do things like this I have no idea, but that is the reason we have customizers like you.
-
Great work! I especially like Vebb and both Bulq customs.
-
Mind if I ask what parts you used for Even Piel and both Sora Bulq?

You would think with how money grubbing they are...they would do things like this in a heart beat. My wife and I talk about this a lot, that we think hasbro watches sites like this, and other star wars related sites, ebay the net in gerenal too what the hot ticket custom people make.
Then they go for making them. Problem with that, there are too many already better version out there, that people would want and hasbro takes tem down several notches so they don't sell well.
Mind if I ask what parts you used for Even Piel and both Sora Bulq?
Dont mind at all...
Sora's upper body and head- original sora
kama- mace widnu from the 30th line
legs are honestly something I pulled from my parts bin
The Boots are from those same pair of legs, but I redid them adding shrink/heat shrink wrap too them making them bigger and more realistic.
Even Piel
His upper body is from the clone wars Piel, but redone and sculpted too look like real robes
The head is from the piel we got a long time ago, but I reworked the face, can't see in the pics because well, they suck. I have to get some real pics up.
The legs- are a combonation of Han solo upper legs, and the lower legs are ceremonial Luke from the 30th line.
-
Cool. What about the comic version Sora Bulq?
-
Phew...
Let's see. ...
The chest is from Sora Bulq.
The arms are mace windu
The belt is from a Tinn figure from the clone wars figs from way back.
The legs are anakin legs

Here's a wip of my wampa custom
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/vash34/wampa%20wip/DSCI0054.jpg)
-
Let me go add this to the fp post too.
-
OH WOW! Very nice! What are you sculpting over?
-
Like the new figures. Really love the WIP Wampa. Looks like iut's going to be epic!
-
This is going to be a beasty custom.[pun intended]
-
Wampa looks great!
-
Very cool job so far!! :)
-
Very cool!
-
OH WOW! Very nice! What are you sculpting over?
It's the gorilla ape halo fig.
Thanks for the front page love Shawn, and for all the great comments guys.
-
OMG yes! I have had this planned for one of my projects but you are doing it first! I LOVE the wampa WIP, what a perfect body to use! Dude keep the pictures comming on this one cant wait to see your finished product.
-
Thanks face ;D
-
Oooohh...this looks gooood! Love the added bulk you've given him in the sculpt. I just wish that the face that Hasbro gave him wasn't so teddy bear-like. He needs some larger fangs or something to give him that "Stay back, I'm dangerous" feel.
-
The Wampa WIP looks wicked wonderful! Weally!
-

I wanted him too look ape, bigfoot, yetti like. This animal is always patrolling around a frozen waste land for taun tauns who run constantly. He has to have huge strong legs to run fast and climb hard.
I agree the face is blah, but I can't sculpt faces lol.
-
Resculpted face, with new eyes, nose, and face. GLOWING EYES

That wampa looks BEAST... it turned out sooo well!
-
excellent work!!
-
Man, he is a big-un! Very nice work resulpting everything! He looks awesome!
-
Wow, that looks great! Time to go to the front page.
Wish they would give us a new Wampa with some articulation!
-
um awesome... I have that same halo figure sitting on my desk awaiting the same treatment...
thinking alike, starting to scare me...
-
Nice Wampa!
-
Nice Wampa!
Ditto! Great job!! :)
-
Sweet Wampa, Dude!
-
Great Jedi update, with Vebb being my favourite. Somehow I've always been fond of that character ever since he appeared in TCW. The Wampa looks like it's off to a great start, as well!
-
great custom you made looks fantastic 0/ 0/
-
Thanks for all the compliments and the front page love. I had someone poses a question if I would make another or sell this. I said that it would probably be a no. Because no one would want to pay for it.
-
very cool!, great job!

Great update. Going back the fp.
-
Excellent sculpting! It's nice to see a hulking behemoth of a wampa...the guy-in-suit always seemed a bit too short for my liking. Your version is more in line with what I envision when I see this creature hunting on Hoth and swiping Luke off his tauntaun. Nice work; turned out very, very well!
-
Thanks Merc.... I always thought like you that the figure and actor weren't monster enough Imho. I wanted a sasquatch or Yettie's look with this. Redoing the face helped that imho.
-
Awesome update!
