Hi everyone, I'll start my thread with my only custom figure finished until now. I have too many others customs planned, however the lack of figures available for this kind of work will certainly slow down my plans.

Another custom finished. I named this one Zuricks, he lost his right forearm in his hard life as a mercenary.
I really like characters with prosthetic parts (also I'm a big fan of Robocop as well).

The last Mandalorian created by Tankster was my inspiration while I was in the last phase in this work.
Soon I'll provide better pics of Zuricks.

I just want to take a moment and say Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. And, if you will allow me to share (via my faith and worldview) this is one of the most special times of the year, at least to me. I am truly thankful to God above for His grace, mercy and salvation. He has richly blessed my life. I have the blessing of an amazing wife, beautiful children, and a loving family. I am also thankful that I live in this great nation. I hope you have a chance to take a moment today and look at your life and reflect on how fortunate you are. I also want to make a statement to the ISYs in general that even though we don't all know each other personally and face-to-face, I am thankful that in our hobby we have a common place to share our creations with one another. Happy Thanksgiving enjoy some turkey!!!
Hi Mungo, thanks for the votes. ;)
YakFace, Darksider80, Jedi Minstrel, mr.Jedi1977, Darth Optimus, Mando Assasin and Phatty, thanks for the comments!
Now let's take a look in a new custom and more pics from Zuricks:

I'll do a weathering in his robotic arm, and maybe in his face to match the overall paint schedule.
The new guy, he still unnamed, any suggestion? His major duty in the team is knowing when something is a trap.

criticisms and suggestions are more than welcome.

its a trap! LOL! Nice! ;D
-
Looks good, welcome to the front page and ISY once again.
-
welcome to the forums man and Glad to be Inspiration to you DH

That's one mean Calamari and chuckled at his speciality! Love the paint apps on all the figures, you've got the weathering spot on!

Hi friends! Thanks for the posts! I've been out due to a problem in my HP computer... I bought it and after 2 month, the whole thing stops working, I'll deal with in the tribunal.
Well, I'm back and bring a new custom. It's the last but one guy from the "smuggler alliance wave":

For more pics, check my blog. The link is on my profile. A new post regarding to this guy will be available tomorrow.
-
Really cool trio!
-
That new Quarren Smuggler looks good. Off to the front page.
-
Love the look of the new guy! What body is that? Looks like a Joe ROC figure?

Really cool trio!
;D Thanks!
That new Quarren Smuggler looks good. Off to the front page.
Hehehe, he is very pleased because of the attention.

Hi YakFace, the body is from the ROC Heavy Duty in reactive impact armor (http://tvandfilmtoys.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Heavy-Duty-RoC-009.jpg).
I'm glad you all liked the new guy.
-
Looks great.......I was going to ask about the body you used,yak face saved me the trouble.
I got one in a bundle and used it to make Artus Lok (mandalore the vindicated).......now I know what it was ;D
-
Excellent smugglers!
-
Well done my padawan !!! LOL
May the Force be with your customs!!! :)
-
Very cool!!! :o :o :o
-
those guys look tough, especially the quarren.
-
Great trio of figures. I echo what many have said and say that Quarren is awesome
-
Thanks a lot for the kind words, guys. Though not posting much, I'm always keeping an eye on most of the Shipyards updates.
Here are some simple custom I made today:

I hope you enjoy them. If you want more details of each one, let me know. Tomorrow I'll post individual photos of each one in the blog: http://forjadasestrelas.blogspot.com.br/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24617771@N03/8525404671/)

Those are some nice looking figures. Where did that jacket come from?

sweet indie pilot hahahaha looks great good figures
-
Nice looking figure! I Love the Indy Pilot!
-
I like the Sullustan! Very nice.
I also like Rykrof-esque custom... one thing you might want to consider, if you don't want to dremel out the head to make it fit lower, you could add some sort of a scarf like this or something, just an idea:

Thanks for the kind words, and also to be in the front-page again my friends!

Hi, the jacket came from the temple Indiana Jones, as the head and the arms. ;D

Thanks a lot for the tip chewie, and feel free to give much more = ). I get a dremel after I made this guy, and I'll probably re-do he. I'm also want to say that your customs are very inspiring to me.
-
Hi guys, I made a few upgrades to two of my last four custom:
(http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u572/BlckThorne/ed_zps6deb69bf.jpg)
The pilot got his neck reduced. A friend of mine was calling him "Pescoço", it means neck in portuguese - he'll be probably the "neck leader" forever.
(http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u572/BlckThorne/ed1_zpscd374a7d.jpg)
Regarding to the Sullustan, I dremeled the belt area for a better visual.
-
Oh yeah, much better. I like it. Back on the front page.
-
The human pilot looks so much better - great work!

Hi folks, check my last two custom figures. It is a very simple team, just a pilot and his droid.

I'm continuing to improve my skills. Here are my newest repaints, first '"wave" of my Road Warriors. I know that they are Dreadnoks, but to my eyes, they'll be always Road Warriors:

Hi Guys, I'm back with two customs I finished a few days ago:

Very nice! Was it a straight swap between the two with their heads and hands?
-
Wow, I really like the Rodian Pilot. Look for it on our front page soon.

Hi jedi Minstrel,
In fact no, the pilot body came from a Mom Calamari pilot, and I also used clone troopers hands in the rebel agent. The "Greedo" hands were modified together with ROC Viper's gloves. 0/
Wow, I really like the Rodian Pilot. Look for it on our front page soon.
Thanks Tamer. ;D

I dig the latest pics. Great Rodian pilot and also I can't say that I have ever seen a Greedo body used like that. Its so simple while at the same time very outside the box and it just works so well. Awesome work.

Nice. My comments are on the front page.

great work, is the Tarkin head from the comic pack or the the Briefing set?
I love the rebels, those should have been the ones Hasbro made.

Before anything, happy new year my friends!

In fact that head come from the ROTS Tarkin figure. = )
Well, here is some customs I finished in the past months:
Here is my take of how Hasbro should made the Joe Colton figure: http://forjadasestrelas.blogspot.com.br/2013/12/custom-gi-joe-joe-colton-bruce-willis.html

Alongside with Colton, we have Rock'n Roll: http://forjadasestrelas.blogspot.com.br/2013/12/custom-gi-joe-retaliation-modern-rockn.html

Very nice work on Joe and Rock n Roll!
-
Where did that hair come from for Rock N Roll? Might be a good candidate for a swap of the big Mara hair, but still use her face.
-
Thanks for the feedback Clonehead!

Hi Tamer, that head/hair belongs to the Ultimate Thor: http://www.cooltoyreview.com/Avengers_Ultimate_Thor.asp
-
Interesting. I might have to pick that figure up and give it a go.
-
Great work mate and those GI Joe figures are excellent.
Ron

Very nice! If Hasbro made Colton look like that he would not be clogging the pegs! Loving all the pilots!

Yep, that body is cool, but does not match the character.

hat is a great looking group! Love the parts selections on all 3. What belt did you use on that tall blonde/Duke head figure?

Thanks for the feedback. I got that belt from the 3.75" Star Treks figures, it was cut and repainted.

Love the beard. Couldn't help but notice Lobo in the back there. He deserves an animated series.

The base figures aren't Wargs from The Hobbit or LOTR movie lines. How did you make them?
Nice job on all of those mercs.

Well, I made no mods on the wolf. It is 100% chap-mei original.
I just do a custom paint.

Thanks, Guys!
Excellent job! This is what Hasbro should have given us. Instead, where Hasbro fails, the customizers shall succeed! Just out of curiosity, do you plan on painting his hair gray?
Definitely. I just want to grab another Han so I can preserve at least one original paint app.
In case someone wants to try this recipe:
Black Series Han
Arms and jacket from iIndiana Jones
Head from the Force Awakens
-
I love it! :)
How do you get the arms off of a figure anyway?
-
I love it! :)
How do you get the arms off of a figure anyway?
It's really simple, just blow hot air with a dryer over the figure for some minutes until you notice the plastic become softer, and then just pull the arm off using pliers to avoid burning fingers
Write me back in case of any doubts.

Does the 5POA Han jacket fit?

Yes, it does fit, but the color tone is not the same as indiana jones arms. I'll need to repaint either the jacket or the arms for them to match

I made some figures using the MTF all back base figures inspired by Fallout 4's Kellogg villain. The lack of secondary colors in this specific body from the first "wave" always bothered me.

Speaking of Conan my daughter wanted to go to a local con this weekend and D'Abo (spoiled young princess second movie) was supposed to be there. She cancelled. It didn't hurt our feelings much as my daughter was there to see the Supernatural folks, but I was gonna get a Conan signed. Good stuff this dio.

These look great. Off to share.
Boss Fight Studios is just the action figure company now if you ask me.
-
I agree, these figures look awesome in your diorama! I especially love this knight! Excellent quality here!

-
Great kit bashes! I particularly like the adventurer with the double back swords.

I put together another Conan, this time build upon a Thor base.

He looks great. I so want another Conan movie with Arnold back in the role.
I know he is old, but man still would like to see it. Conan the King or something along those lines.
-
Another fun Conan, I think the Thor base was an excellent idea for the figure build.
-
Here the first figure I put together after being back at customs: a Fallout Super Mutant.

Love these two customs!! The mutant is awesome.
They definitely need to fight each other. Terrific work!
And I love your repurposing/repainting of the Prince of Persia gate. What an awesome backdrop for your figures. I have two of 'em myself, such a cool piece.
:)
-
I always love to see customs aside from Star Wars. While those will always be cool, it's nice to have different flavors every once in a while. Great work!

Tough looking custom. I like him. Off to the front pages.

Thanks, dude! That playset is great indeed. I really like it for medieval / fantasy-like figures.

I'm lacking some new SW custom figures, but I'll make new ones soon - I hope.:)

Wow, that super mutant turned out great. I don't play Fallout, so had to look 'em up. But your parts combination totally works. Excellent job!

I made an executioner to go with my fantasy figures. Here is:

I made new figures based on an old favorite mega drive game - splatterhouse 3:

Today I finished this black series Enfys Nest and her bike. That's my first 1:12 custom vehicle and I got to say I liked a lot working on it.

It was just a full repaint. To make the task a bit easier I disasemble some parts. You can see some WIP pics here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYUcB8ACJg/

Thanks! I really wanted to upgrade this set. I love this movie.

I love this movie.
I did too! It was a lot of fun.

This looks like it should've come from the factory if Hasbro put some effort into the paintwork for a MRSP of $59.99. You did an outstanding job! The different scratches and shipping look spot on - excellent choice of colors, too! You got my respect.

Between some large and medium projects, I took some time the make this 80's badass, Snake Plissken based on escape from NY movie:

Sweet! I'm guessing you used some Marauders Gunrunners parts. Snake looks really good (and he could totally fit into the Star Wars universe!).
-
Wow, I agree looks tough as he should be. Might be the best custom version of this I have seen. Bravo.

That's right! Everything comes from marauder but the head (comes from gigabread) :)

Here is my fourth Conan figure. This one is heavily based upon the arts from the masters John Buscema and Earl Norem.

To go along Conan I made the she-devil with a sword ~ Red Sonja.

I have the song in my head now, duh da duh da duh. Such a great looking custom.
I had always wished for them to get together in a movie (with Arnold being Conan of course). I just came back from a Renaissance Fair this past weekend and the them was barabarians. Just great stuff.

These are awesome! What base figure did you use for Red Sonja?
-
I had to go watch the movie yesterday after seeing these latest customs. I really like the original Conan movie, none of the latest versions hold a candle to good ole Arnold as Conan. I would love to see a new Conan movie with him as Conan again. The musical score for this movie is awesome too.
Great customs once again.

Hi, the body was an ancher from boss fight studio line and the head plus lower legs comes from the MU Shanna. The acessories are also from boss fight studio.

Thanks, I love to old movies too, plus the new ones (Momoa Conan, Solomon Kane, and so).
I like Arnold's Conan, but I believe its time to move on. There is a lot of good actors that comes with a muscle montain that can be a good Conan representation - even more close to whats Robert's write (blue eyes and an indian like man) or the Marvel's golden age (the bronze giant).
Let's hope Crom also wanted this kind of movie made. Netflix or Amazon will kickstart a Conan series.
-
A Conan Series would be awesome. Still would love to see Conan older as a king and see what he gets into (with Arnold). You know what they say about wishing though.
-
A KING CONAN... Like what's been rumored and development hell for decades would be great. Probably work better as show too, kinda Hercules meets GOT. Anything honestly would be better than the Conan remake from the last decade... That's still a horrid turd to watch flush no matter how many times I've tried.
-
Yeah, we don't want to jack BT's thread too much here as his customs are just excellent, but I really don't think the new movies hold anything over the original Conan movie.
That being said I didn't like Conan the Destroyer much either. I say get Arnold back and do a King Conan movie and let him destroy some stuff.
Sorry I started using your thread as a Conan Movie review thread Black Thorne.
Your customs are fantastic. I would love to see you do your take on an Arnold version of Conan from the original movie. Bet that one would be good.
-
No prob, in fact I like this topic a lot to be honest. Anyone can has their own fav incarnations and we should be glad there is a ton to pick, from cartoons, to comics and movies plus series.
My fav representation is the Buscema's vision.
-
Wow! Both figures turned out really well, but I really love that Red Sonja. Brilliant work! Great use of the Boss Fight parts, thanks for the recipe.

Between some dios I'm working for the past few weeks I managed to finish two droids kits that will be part of them. Here is gonk tanks and pernocas (chubby legs):

Those look great. I really like the paint jobs, the weathering and "wear' patterns are excellent. They look like "Hole in the Ground" kits. Am I correct?
-
Great job on both - I especially love that worn paint / rust effect you created 😃👍🏻

Yes! I finally bought some piece from them and liked it a lot.

One more example to show me how much I need a 3D printer! These kits look fantastic! And this is one of the best chipping effects I've ever seen! EVER! The Power Droid looks so good, I thought it was meant to be camouflage at first sight. They look awesome on your hangar dio! Thanks so much for sharing! Hasbro will never give us this level of detail and accuracy. So thank the maker for customizing and endless power of creativity.
-
Having just seen your great A-Wing Dio I can now see these are part of what must be one fantastic B-Wing Dio too. I can't wait to see more of it.

Let's keep creating, and getting better after each piece.
Having just seen your great A-Wing Dio I can now see these are part of what must be one fantastic B-Wing Dio too. I can't wait to see more of it.
The B-wing will be my next ship repaint. This one is getting yellowed, so the time is right.
Besides the ship, I still need a few extra pieces and this floor will be done.
-
Hey, the Legacy Collection Dagger Squadron B-Wing that I have has yellowed as well. It’ll be exciting to see how you repaint yours! I don’t have the TVC B-Wing loose, so I might repaint my Dagger version in ROTJ style. Do you also have the A-Wings released in the TLJ line? I think they’re heavily inspired by McQuarrie’s design. I have the blue one and might pick up the rare red one if I find it.
So the A-Wing on your diorama is actually a repaint? It looks like Green Leader’s A-Wing (TLC, Walmart) (http://www.rebelscum.com/tlcvehAwing.asp). I’m looking forward to getting back into building dioramas and customizing this coming winter. Your work is highly motivating!

Nice, I'm looking forward to see your new dios and creations. This A-wing of mine is a full repaint of the POTF (this one: http://www.rebelscum.com/potf2awing.asp). Here you can have a better look of the mods I made (basically the cockpit and body damages): https://www.instagram.com/p/CSm6pZBpyoy/
I also got the all tge other A-wings models previously (except the droid's vintage), but to be honest the TLJ is not my favorite design, when I can choose I get the OT material. 0/
This planned B-wing repaint will most likely have the ROTJ colors, I just might change the squad marks as I have the POTJ one displayed in the other space here and I dont want to have 100% identical ships - this A-wing for example, has the ROTJ colors, but her pannels paint and damages are unique.

Snake Pliskin and Red Sonja are both just Fantastic!

Love the weathering on those two droids! Great work!

The droids look great, and the paintjob you did is cool. I still haven't gotten anything from hole in the ground, but i really need to.

Took a few days break from my star wars projects to work in a small batch of 80's action flicks. I believe you'll recognize this one's:

This is my first 3d printed figure, the chubby droid Clink (from bad batch). It was painted based on the show with some minor changes:

That turned out awesome! Did you design the droid for printing? It looks great. Either way, I really like the paint job.

Thanks! I totakky want to get a printer, but I need to study the process to fully understand it, and save a bit to buy a cool one. They are expensive here in Brazil.
That Snake is super solid. Good work!
Thanks! I still have some Russel's related stuff to make in the future.

Thanks! There still plenty of space to paint 3d stuff better. This one was pretty OK, but I could have prepared the base better and this would also reflect on the paint and final result.

Some folks sure make it seem easy, but I know its a lot more involved (especially the design software), but I figure once a person gets it down your days of relying on toy companies are pretty much over. That would have to feel freaking awesome.

I totally agree. Being able to make whatever we want would be a nice complement to the ongoing collection.

Gotta love Snake. I heard he was dead.
Great work on the droid

I got a lot of yellowed figures and started "fixing" them with a new paint. The first one was the Muftak, here is the result next to the factory original paint:

Yeah, do you think, in this day and age that the paint and tech exists to ensure white action figures don't turn yellow?
I looking forward to seeing your Stormies.

Your repainted Muftak looks amazing.
Excellent work.

That is some awesome paint work!

Brilliant job with this. The paint job is superb.

Hey, it's great to see you're back to business! The chipping on the Stormies looks great! The Clone Trooper is airbrushed, isn't it? Nice paint scheme!

Man that color and paint work on those Stormies is just stellar. I like the CT too.
