Post a custom that looks like you.

Here're a couple I did that look like me.  The first one is most recent.  It's Mandalore the Guardian.  It's Repeater's head on a Duke body.  You can see a goatee I painted.  I did the same thing with Mace Windu's head on a Rahm Kota body.

Dude, you look bad-@$$!  ;D  (I'm glad he's on *our* side!)

(What's Repeater?  A Joe fig?  From what set?)

Thank you.  Yea, he's a Joe fig.  I can't remember which set but it was a set that had some joes in desert camo.

Ok, I see him - scanned ebay and found three figs in desert camo from a TRU "5-pack exclusive."  Haven't found the complete set, unfortunately.

Finding a head that gets close to mine will be tricky.  For the body, I'll use Willrow Hood.....
;D

Hood's a more accurate fig for my body type.  If I'm going to make a custom of myself, I figure "it's fantasy anyway, why not go for the more fit body?"  But maybe I should.  Just imagine Hood with armor.

Yeah, that's what we call the Jango with the poncho and clip-on/slip-on armor pieces.  Why?  Because without the armor on, he is wearing the outfit as seen in Obi-Wan's visit to his apartment.  Ergo, "apartment Jango."

Pretty good stuff!! I can't paint in such small detail like these guy's can!!

Here they are:

I know it was some years ago but how much did it cost?  There was a site I came across once where they were a bit pricey.

Rich that is an awesome group of self customs! Love the Indy one thrown in there! They are all very good, do you know what head they used? Who did them?
