she looks freakin' awesome man! I've always really wanted that one but couldn't bring myself to pay like 80 bucks on one figure. no way! Anyhow, I like how you describe the roc cover girl as "she-male". She does look pretty manly out of the package. However, there's this dude on hiss tank that made her look unbelievably sexy with no modifications done to the facial sculpt at all. He stripped the paint on the face down to the bare plastic and repainted her and did a bit of a mod on the hair do. You should check it out. The sculpts hasbro has done on the female character faces are usually spot on. It's the ten layers of paint they put over it (very sloppily, e.g. black widows' eyes!) that screws it up.

Darth Dial / Jedi Master Poland Spring / Saga Legends Stormtrooper
« Reply #91 on: December 16, 2013, 11:17:06 AM »
It's been a while since I've posted here!  I'm guessing it's because of the last two years' "The Phantom Menace" Menace, which have has given customizers a lot less fodder and somewhat killed our collecting and customizing hobby.

In spite of the Hasbro drought, I've found myself being more creative with what's available to me.

I give to you, Darth Dial! You can clearly see he is a bad guy, he has a red lightsaber, and a black cloak, and "Darth" before his name, and either is asthmatic, deformed, or in his case, and amputee. Making him an even more bad *****.




Next up, is Jedi Poland Spring. You can tell he is a Jedi, because he has a non-red lightsaber and wears brown (or other earth tones), and does not have Darth before his name. I spent a lot of time on this one. I needed to make sure the water was purified multiple times to give him that superb crystal clear color. I used a dry brush to brush the cap, making it stand out more. Jedi Poland Spring and Darth Dial are enemies, because one is a Jedi, and the other is a Sith.



I hope you enjoy!!!!












In all seriousness, I got my hands on one of the Saga Legends Stormtroopers, and love, love, love the helmet sculpt. I wanted to use the helmet on one of the Stormtroopers I had laying around. I just cut the head off, dremmeled a hole, and popped that baby on:






Comparison shot of the down Syndrome Sandtrooper, left, my modd, and a Sandtrooper I previously made using a Bust-Ups head:

LOL. This is for the win! Off to share. Ah, but I do agree with your points.

Love you new Stormy using that saga legends head. Great creation and it really shows standing beside those other two which are nice in their own right, but nothing compared to what you have created as far as head sculpt goes.

Knights of the Old Republic Sith Trooper Officer
« Reply #95 on: December 18, 2013, 08:59:48 AM »
And now I'd like to open the Boom-Boom archives, and share with you some things I've been working on this past year, that I haven't had the time...or really the motivation to take pictures of.

Earlier this year I made a Sith Trooper Officer --my interpretation -- from the Knights of the Old Republic video game. I like to think of it as sort of a Phase 1 design for the Sith troopers.

He's made from one of the Imperial Knights, the dude with the red pony tail.

I cut the shoulder armor off, and had to move the arms up higher. Helmet is a clear cast made by RaginSpoon I believe, and it's from GI Joe Sci-fi. The leg armor is from a GI Joe Dusty figure. Holster from a Prince of Persia figure harness, and weapons...I have no bloody clue.

Enjoy!

Love the way you are improvising during the Hasbro drought! That new helmet sculpt does look pretty good! Nice looking custom as well.

I haven't seen too many customs of the Sith Trooper, but I've gotta say, your interpretation is one of the best I've seen. Great work! Just can't have too many KotOR figures! :D

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Over the past year, I've tried my best to copy some of the coolest customs from various forums.

First up, we have Spudafett's Iron Widow figure from imperialshipyards.net:





Here we have Stronox's Renegades Jinx from hisstank.com:





Lastly we have Tiger-Boy's Todd McFarlane Venom also from hisstank.com:
