Hi guys, I been working like crazy this past month and today I received a little present from one of you with a note inside. I must say I'm overwhelm by the people in this place and how much love and talent is here so I decided to give something too, I will give one of you a Microclone for free including shipping (international I will pay half) but I want this to be special so here's the deal; post a pic of your favorite custom from one of our talented members (that will be your entry form), it will run for 2 weeks then I will ask my baby nephew to choose one (he's only 3), I will notify the winner so he/she can give me the address where to ship it once it's finished, updates will be posted so everyone can share the moment.
Clonehead I know there is a custom contest forum but I was afraid it got lost there, let me know if I have to open it there or it can be here (ppl don't post anything until that's clear). So what are you waiting for?, go and start digging those threads!!!!
-
A FREE MICROCLONE?! Woah, Stitch, I don't know were to start for a favourite fig.... Gotta think in the mind of a 3 year old, eh? lol Expect me to participate!!!
-
hey what can I say?, I really like the attitude and vibe from here and in the end there is no bigger joy than to give something to someone who would appreciate it!.
-
That ... is awesome. I'll have to root around and refamiliarize myself with the absolute breadth of awesome work we have here.
-
It's going to be real tough just picking one customizer and only one of their works.
But I'll give it a try!!
Let us know how and when we are going to do this!!

Stitchfett, that is an incredible story! While not surprised with the attitude of the members of this site, it always makes me feel validated as far as this site goes when I hear stories like that! Now, just to clarify, are we supposed to post images of our favorite customs that we have done, or that someone else has done?
-
I just got the OK from Clonehead and the guys in the adm so let's start the giveaway simplified rules;
To participate you have to post in this thread a picture of your favorite custom Arc or Rc from another customizer, only one pic per member so choose carefully, the contest will run for 2 weeks (May 1 - 15) and then to be totally impartial my 3 years old baby nephew will chose a winner. It takes me around 7-15 to build it and ship it but I will be posting the progress here so everyone can share this moment. For the paint pattern i will give the winner this options;
1) one of the patterns I have in my eBay listings
2) Blank type armor (black, white, grey, tan) so you can make your own pattern or send it to someone else to paint.
3) just like the one in the picture you posted
Well that all for now, keep digging!!!!
-
Gotta be a pic of a custom ARC or RC from another customizer, eh? Sounds great, stitchfett! What a cool thing to do and I thank you in advance. I have a feeling that your nephew is going to get an eye full come decision day.
On the front page.

Hmmm, hard to choose, but i definitely think that this would be my favourite RC, by the great Jangobones!!

Well this is tough but I love this one from Jedihunter226!
I think the colors really pop!!
You can never go wrong with black and blue!!!
Thanks

WoW those are great and Jangobones take on the Microclone has always been one of my favorites, especially how he accessorize his figures with weapons and gadgets.

I own that!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( Lol.
-
Here's my entry:
Clint's well-done Republic Commando, and my favorite of every figure he's constructed!
-
don't worry USD if it wins I will make a slight change (lol), but this has bring something to my attention; As a gesture of respect I will contact the original customizer for his approval on the matter of me copying his pattern and if the original customizer wants to paint it I can ship the Microclone to him and then he can ship it to the winner.
Lmk what you think....
-
Wow, that would make things even more interesting. Thanks for you praise, BTW, Dan. Interestingly, I am not sure if that is my favorite of all the RC customs that I have done.
As for another customizer's rc or arc, my favorite is from none other than the master of this giveway, Stitchfett.

-
Pat i think Dan entered that RC
-
Master fett...will you ever stop impressing me with the things you do and create??....I hope not!! This is truly one great idea. I'd like to help with anything that I can. If your in need of my services please contact me and I'll do anything and everything to help give the winner one great custom. BTW you never have to ask for my permission.... ;)
-
I meant to ask stitchfett what to do in that instance.
Thanks, pat.
-
LOL! So he did! Guess I'll have to find a different one!
-
hey guys!, it's nice to see that you liked the idea.
USD: I can't see the picture, if it's not too much trouble can you post it again?.
Jangobones: I was thinking in contacting you about you accessorizing the figure, lmk what you think ok?
Clonehead: if you are talking about two ppl posting the same figure, I don't see any problem with that, great mind think alike
-
Well here is my entry, I know there are three in the pic. So if that don't count , then it the green one.
-
Master Fett...Anything I can do to help, please ask away.
-
Well, it's a shameless plug, but I've actually been VERY happy with one I did not too long ago...
-
USD: I can't see the picture, if it's not too much trouble can you post it again?.
It's the same Purple one Pat posted, if that helps. I'm not sure that I can change the picture as I did not post it originally.
-
JW69 & MR1 don't worry if you post the same pic than other member, USD it's ok, Jango I will contact you as soon as the giveaway close and Phatty I think I can let it slide under the rug (besides it saves me the effort of contacting you for permission ;D)
-
This would be my choice:
-
Well, it's a shameless plug, but I've actually been VERY happy with one I did not too long ago...
Pat, that's a great pic of that one. He looks more stunning than I remember.
I thought that I read that you wernt supposed to post a pic of your own custom though.
You may have to put ole purple passion back up.
-
Well, it's a shameless plug, but I've actually been VERY happy with one I did not too long ago...
Shame shame Shame....I'd have to say this will be my Shameless act.....All in good fun. Good Luck everyone. Keep adding those wonderful pics!!!
-
I liked this custom Arc Figure

-
Master Fett...What happens if YOUR the winner?? Ha!!
-
Hey if he does win he can pick a custom from any of the people that nominated one of the customs?
-
its my second post, so hopefully im doing this right. These figures are in a league of their own.
-
OK now I'm starting to blush :-[ I didn't expect to see my customs showing in the give-away but if that's what the participant want it will be done ;D. Remember that the last day to post your favorite pic is 5/15/10.
so here's the rules one more time for the ones who just jump on board;
To participate you have to post in this thread a picture of your favorite custom Arc or Rc from another customizer, only one pic per member so choose carefully, the contest will run for 2 weeks (May 1 - 15) and then to be totally impartial my 3 years old baby nephew will chose a winner. It takes me around 7-15 to build it and ship it but I will be posting the progress here so everyone can share this moment. For the paint pattern i will give the winner this options;
1) one of the patterns I have in my eBay listings
2) Blank type armor (black, white, grey, tan) so you can make your own pattern or send it to someone else to paint.
3) just like the one in the picture you posted
JB & K2 remember I can't participate bbfet but if the winner posted one of my customs it will surely make my life easier (lol).
Remember; the winner of the contest is the member who posted the pic not the customizer (except for Phatty and his shameless plug. lol)
Keep on posting>>>
-

-

oh well guess is wasn't ment to be.
-
Thanks MandaloriansRule1,

Thanks again, I'll let you know what happends.
Rich
-

-
Yes, I have made contac and he said he got backed up.
His parts is done and he is going to send it to Jangobones, and he does the rest.
He said he will let me know when he seds it out and Jangobones will let me know when he gets it!!
Thanks alot everyone for helping me with this!!
Rich
-
Hello everyone, first allow me to apologize for the lack of contact; my personal and working life got upside down + i got rise to Power seller status on eBay and all that combined just took a toll on me, so please accept my sincerest apologies especially Rich who had to wait for the figure.
It was ship today and by Mon/Tue JB should have it, why it took soooooo long/; well this ones is very special because the visor is CLEAR!!!!.
the pics are not that good but I know JB & DS will take better ones to show, I have to leave now (work, work, work) but the fastest way you can find me is thru eBay, I'm there 12 hours a day.
May the force be with you... always
-
WOW looks Great!!!
Jangobones keep me posted!!!
Can't wait to see what you do to it next!!!
Thanks
Rich
-
Ahh the power of communication makes a hell of a diffrence congrats on the fig again looks like a worthwhile one!!
-
AWESOME!!!
