Still working on the legs, the lightsaber hilt has some hobby wire wrapped around it's top which is held in place by a magnet under the soft goods.

Let me know what ya think.

It's a drybrush with some silver, I use a thicker brush with some coarser hair, I just make sure there's only a slight amount of paint in the bristles and apply a firm back and forth motion where I want the weathering. :)

Post by: Darth Optimus on January 09, 2012, 04:21:05 PM: That new astromech looks awesome! I'm also diggin' the use of a magnet to hold on the lightsaber. I never thought of that before...I usually use magnets to hold on backpacks so they are swappable between all my customs.
Title: Re: Lostcauze501st Customs
Post by: BugSkirt on January 10, 2012, 05:55:43 AM: Your astromech...it looks stolen. I am going to half to confiscate it.

Lol, this astromech is like a character from a Charles Dickens novel. Poor thing needs a little tlc.

:)
Title: Re: Lostcauze501st Customs
Post by: lostcauze501st on February 11, 2012, 04:19:58 PM: So I recently picked up the "Discover the Force" Aurra Sing from Wal-Mart and was disappointed when I pulled her out of package. Her legs were very short and she looked to me really miss-proportioned, so I boil and popped her legs and replaced them with the CW Aurra Sing legs. I think this helped tremendously with her height and overall look of the figure. I need to touch up the paint just above the boots to have it match better, but I am pleased with the results. Let me know what you guys think, cheers. :)

Post by: lostcauze501st on February 19, 2012, 07:28:06 PM: My girlfriend got me an HK-50 for Valentines Day, I didn't care for the blue color and wanted to make it look more like HK-47.

Title: Re: Lostcauze501st Customs - Ares Star Wars style.
Post by: lostcauze501st on February 10, 2013, 01:08:43 PM: It's been a while since I've posted a custom figure so here's on thats been on my bench for the past couple of days. One of my favorite marvel characters is Ares, so I wanted to make my own rendition of how I think he would look in the Star Wars universe.

(http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv337/Lostcauze501st/169_zpscc66d70f.jpg)

Recipe:
Torso = War Machine
Right Arm = Retaliation three pack roadblock with camo removed
Left Arm = Rise of Cobra Heavy Duty
Lower Torso = Arti Destro
Legs = Rise of Cobra Duke Accelerator Armor
Belt = Anakin
Helmet = Clone Wars Captain Argyus
Head = Retaliation Firefly

Still have a few tweaks to add to him and I plan on loading him up with a ton of weaponry. Let me know what you think, thanks.

No, it actually came from a Warhammer 40k waterslide decal sheet. You can pick them up off ebay for fairly cheap.

I've seen this custom done several times before and I wanted to give it a shot. Picked up an extra World War Hulk from Toys R Us and repainted it to match up with the Gamorrean's green skin. I added a wash and

drybrushed a few coats of lighter shades of green. I really like how he turned out. Let me know what you guys think.

Post by: Luke Sprywalker on April 12, 2013, 11:05:36 AM: Your Gamorrean looks great! I love seeing these guys pop up. I have a few Hulk bodies in my fodder bins awaiting something similar. Just waiting on getting the head cast.
