You know, I'd love to enter something based on my own characters..but how do you pull the figures joints apart without damage to the rest of the figure?

Wow,
  Thanks, Ron
  The boil and pop method worked like a charm. So much so, I think I'm almost done. I'll be doing the one figure with a background added to enhance. But when completed do we just post them here on this thread?

Glad to see some interest in this contest as the thread has been a bit quiet. I have been working on my entry over the weekend and just have some finishing touches to put on several parts. I should have everything assembled in the next few days and be able to photograph my entry. Ron and tripple S I an glad to see both of you in on this!

Well, here is my first jump into customizing figures to suit my evil needs.
  Thanks to Hemble for the quick tip on how to get these figures apart. I still haven't quite figured out the waist joint, but I've got it going with the knees and elbows.
Anyway, right into it, I've chosen my own creation, though I don't know if I'm actually eligible since I haven't updated this for about six years or so. But this is Kel Van Dorran, the reluctant Jedi from my story. He's a character who's wanted nothing more than just an ordinary life. A relatively decent jedi with a connection to all creatures, but a die-hard pacifist. He never answered the call to arms for the Clone Wars, and instead remained in the outer territories keeping order among the many civil disputes.
  The story picks up minutes after Palpatine's broadcast to announce the formation of the New Galactic Empire and Kel now has the chance to leave the order behind and pick up with his life...that is only if the galaxy has nothing to say about it.





There really aren't any clones in the web-comic..i just needed some stand ins.
 The overview:
  Kel Van Dorran is made up of three figures. The Arena Showdown Obi-wan (head), Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan (Torso) And Padawan Obi-Wan (legs)
The figure was merely re-painted to match the figure using a couple of browns and greens. I still have one more pass to do on the figure and it will be just a wash to bring all of the colors together and to mute the shine from the coat of Future I applied to protect the paint from chipping.
  I had a little trouble loading up the final pic, but I'll do that later when I get home from work.

Thanks guys,
  I didn't even realize I was the first entry. I think I'm gonna stick the fork in this guy and call him done. I'm not in the same league as the rest of you guys with the figures, but let's see how this does.
  I added the cloak and stayed away from the soft goods look. But this is as good as it's going to get I think with this one.



And the money shot..


And the character bio I did for him way back when...

Indeed, SSS, that is pretty nice looking.  The paint is clean and weathered well, and looks quite a bit like your concept art.  Well done!  Ok, that's one entry, let's see many many more!
