Hey, I bought a new mountain bike and I've been spending most of my recreation time on the trail this summer.
Recently I had a custom-figure client ask about purchasing a couple figures so I started working customs again.

I made this second cook for Jabba awhile ago, but my client wanted it with a different head so I rebuilt, and sold him.

And here he is with my first cook. The client bought both of these so this is a farewell photo. ;)

Nice to see you back. Those are (were) excellent cooks, I'm sure your client will be pleased. Glad your having some good time outdoors - that's important.

I saw a pic or two of that mountain bike. Man, nice views in UT.

Great to see you back. Off to share to the front pages.

Thanks guys!

I still have 5 or 6 Ewoks on the workbench, but it's not going to be the old one-a-week plan; I'll get them done whenever I have time.

Anyway, here's my newest custom Ewok! I used most of Kneesaa and I used her alternate caped hood so I like to think of this as her sister.
My favorite part is the added Boss Fight fur accessory on her back.





With her sister.




Oh, and Kneesaa's sister get's to debut a new custom Ewok accessory!

Really nice! The skull and Boss Fight bits add a lot. I like the paint scheme on her fur a lot.

The Cooks: Very nice work & parts! Your client must be pleased with them! I also need some cooks for my Khetanna down the road, but the list is long and it'll take another 4 years or so 'til I get her out of the box.
I got that Kithaba variant with grey band just recently and I'm very glad to finally have one loose. You must have so incredibly many figures and parts to utilize. I'm always stunned when I go back and look at your closet - to me it's a customer's shrine. I'm glad you're back sharing your projects on here!

The Ewoks: At first glance I thought you sculpted the fur on the back of the cape! Boss Fight have really awesome parts to refer to. I wish Hasbro and Boss Fight would offer accessory packs. They'd sell like hot cakes. Fantastic paint job on both of them! Really like that Trandshan skull - so thanks for the link! The dry-brush on the Ewoks looks really great and makes for some nice fur effect! I'm also working with grey colors at the moment and finally tried myself at sculpting.

So good to see you back around! Thanks for sharing these excellent projects!

Love the ewok.  The skulls really give it that savage edge.  And the paint job is tremendous.

Thanks for the comments guys! much appreciated.

These aren't new, but the new trailer got me "playing" with some custom figures and Mando.

Those are great. I really like the use of the Pirates and Indy bodies for new characters.
