Hey guys, this is my first post here. Some of you may know me from some of the facebook groups, I certainly recognize some of your guys work.
I've done quite a few Black Series customs so far, but I haven't decided yet if I'm going to post the backlog of them here, or only new stuff. In the mean time, heres one I just finished last week, Darth Malgus.

He's almost entirely an Electro, with a Nick Fury torso joint spliced in to emulate the Black Series style articulation. His boots and hands are from the NECA Prometheus David. I just left the gloves as is because they're so awesome. Pretty much everything else is sculpted, with a few pieces having a styrene base.

I made three heads for him, so he can represent how he looked in the three separate trailers. His respirator head is by far my favorite, but I like the "mid war" one too. His pale head with the eyebrows is pretty boring in my opinion, but what the hell, it was easy to include.

I made his unique saber hilt from a styrene tube with sculpt on it, and styrene for the accent blades. The pommel pops off so it can fit more easily into his grip (which is tighter than i'd like), and it has a magnet in it so it can attach to his belt.

Wow, this is certainly impressive and looks great on our front page. I can't wait to see what you show us next.
Welcome to Imperial Shipyards!
-
Oh man... Now THAT is really cool!
-
Seen this at figure realms very beautiful work but seeing the pics I have to ask if theres any pics showcasing the jedi?
-
Hey thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words, and also being featured on the front page is pretty awesome too, thanks for that Tamer.
Krztfr, here's some pics of the Jedi Knight. He's made from a Clone Trooper with some sculpting and a cloth robe. I do wish I had taken the time to make his armor more accurate to the game art, but alas... I didn't. He still looks alright though, especially as some one for Malgus to beat up on.

First off, welcome to ISY! :D
Secondly,....can I just say how AMAZING that looks? Wow. Not to mention that I just LOVE Old Republic customs!
I can't wait to see more of your work.

Thanks guys.
Clone: I've actually got a Satele and a Sith Acolyte in the works right now, and have done a Nihilus and Revan in the past. I should post those.

Seeing 6-inch versions of these would be great! :D I've never actually gotten around to doing a Sith Acolyte in 3-3/4" form.

Mate welcome and both figures are stunning.

Had to get that armored jedi on the front page too.

WOW
Very impressive 6" figures.
The armour of Malgus is amazing.
Welcome on board.
