Wow Remco this is sweet! On the front page.

I love how you create great photos to go with your customs too. Love that head sculpt on this one.

I would love to see a dreadlock tutorial sometime!

Thanks guys!

Shawn, sounds like a good idea actually! The technique I used worked for me, it could work for others as well.

Incom,

An obscenity came to mind when I saw that image of your Mando, that is one hell of a superb custom and one that I had to study in detail.

The head painting is unbelievable, it is so realistic it looks real, totally real...it has to be one of the best examples of custom paintwork I think I've ever seen. You are definitely at the top of your game right now, and every new custom just ooozes quality.

Loving your presentation as well..

Re: Incom's Customs: Female AT-AT Driver for Tamer WIP 12/07/11

Hey guys, finally something worth showing again! Shawn casually mentioned the idea of me making an AT-AT Driver to add to his collection and being the persuasive guy he is, I went to work for him. And instead of making a male driver, I came up with the idea of a female AT-AT Driver  :-*

I just had to use the 25th. Lady Jaye torso for this, but had some difficulties finding the right arms and legs. That's been solved now, so painting has begun!

This first shot has been posted previously on the front page:



This is how she looks right now. I went with 25th. Pilot Scarlett's head instead and used the legs of a ROC Cover Girl. The arms are from Cesi Doc Edriss or whatever. You know, that Twi'lek Rebel pilot :)



Still trying to figure out how to make the removable chest armour.

Wow, I think I am in love!

I can't wait to post this to the front page tomorrow. Daggone Remco, awesome. I can see that there might be a couple obstacles to overcome with that chest armor. She is definitely how I would envision a female driver.

You can always modify the chest box to sit at her hip, off to the side, or rest on the small of her back. 

I might consider doing a female tie fighter pilot soon... so I'll run into the same issues.

looking great so far!

Nice figures Incom! I went through your thread and I really dig the Duros Space Traveler you did, something about it is really awesome. All your paint apps are very nicely done and I cant wait to see your female AT-AT driver completed.

I just love to see the progression from one picture to the next and so on. I think its about the process almost as much as the finished figure. I am enjoying myself on this one. It looks great doesn't it!

That is a great looking WIP! I see you are going to beat me at an idea I had for my Rebel Pilots, soft goods strapping! Looking awesome Remco!
