AFE's Customs -- Updated 12/28/13--Back In Black!
« on: April 05, 2011, 08:40:01 AM »
Hey there guys! Love this site! I do mostly mix and match style customs (head swapping, clothes, accessories swapping) I have done some all out gluing and sculpting and painting customs but mostly I do professional style photos that make the figures look like actors/extras from the films.

Here are a few photos of my creations...

First up: my custom stormtroopers I call them Raptor Squad

Thanks Sith! I had fun modeling it on a sort of "Band of Brothers" kind of feeling. Like each guy has his own specialty. A tactical squad dispatched by the Emperor himself to root out and utterly decimate his enemies wherever they might be. I'm going to do a massive post on them with a back story and bio for each figure on the blog soon. Be sure to check it out!  Raptor Squad and the Hunt For Mandalore

This shoulder armor/cape ensemble has been one of my favorite creations since I made it years ago! It adds some really cool effects to most any figure. Here we can see Warmaster Graal in her dress uniform, simple pilot's outfit, and in mandalorian armor.

here are 2 crudely done mando customs. They're affectionately nicknamed 'Hornet' and 'Tiger'

Thanks Rich! glad you like them! I do photo requests for the blog so if there's something you want to see let me know and I can stage it and photograph it exclusively for the person who requests it. If I have all the figures needed then that makes it easy, if not you can send me the ones I'm missing, and I'll do the shoot and send them back to you.

Info on photo requests: http://actionfigureempire.blogspot.com/2011/03/now-taking-photo-requests-and.html

Here are some i did for Adam Fett, a die hard Fett fan. he wanted to see Boba with a more sinister looking face, so i chose the newer tie fighter pilot head for this one. I really like how it came out! We called the shoot, "Fett For Fett"  Enjoy!

Thanks Kreeper2 glad you like them!

Oh wow, that's awesome Tamer! Can't wait to see the post!

I love doing what I consider "What if" photos. Check out Bossk tearing off Boba's head! This was taken for Jedi_Randy. he told me he wanted to see Bossk and Boba face off. I decided to throw the Trandoshan a bone and let him win ;)
