hi there guys. I would like to break into the custom figures forums with my recently created custom Mando.
Backstory!!
This shadow style Mando is called Hando Fel and he was a Mandalorian soldier who took place in the Battle of New Holstice. His regiment took heavy losses against Jedi General Aayla Secura's forces. His whole regiment was killed and he luckily escaped when the rest of the Mandalorian forces ordered a retreat. Hando Fel continued to fight alongside other mandalorians until he was betrayed by fellow mandalorian Boba Fett whilst he was investigating the death of Padme Amidala at the request of Grand Inquisitor Malorum. His armour was left to rot on the surface of the planet Bellassa.
Heres the pics!!

Colours used Chaos Black, Mithril Silver and Mechrite Red. Used black ribbon for the two cloak bits and a comic pack sash from a Quinlan Vos figure.
Hope you guys like it!!

thats an excellent custom Mando
and again a fantastic backstory, very very creative mate
can't wait to see more custom figures from you
-
That is a cool mando.
-
Nice work, loved the dio shot. On the front page!
-
Somebody cue up that tune Back in Black by ACDC.... Nice!
-
Wow! That's a sweet looking mando, Lambonspit! I like the silver visor.
-
very nice. I like it all. the silver visor, the bandolier, the modified cape, every bit is very well done.
I take it that it is a modified evo style jango? If so did you change the head? If not I would take it one step further and do a head swap on the figure. that would put it over the top.
-
Thanks guys!! Glad you liked it. Maybe i should continue with custom figures then?!?!

Actually, its a Fenn Shysha figure from the Dengar comic pack. I already had a green mando so i thought id use Fenn. He has a completely different head to Jango and so looks really original.
-
Yes, Yes, lets see another custom figure!
-
nice mando lambonspit welcome to the custom figures thread, what a great start too, very cool looking...... love it!!
-
cool mando the black looks great
-
Great Mando! I love the silver visor that's on him!
-
Cool figure.

-
Awesome Mando! I love everything about him!
-
awesome mando! wouldnt want to run into that guy in a dark alley!
-
Nice shadow Mando!
-
WICKED MANDO!!!

Hey everyone,
Here's a quick W.I.P shot of some clones ima customising. Nowhere near completion of the battalion but the one on the left is almost finished. Just needs a new gun and his visors gonna be lime green. BTW: they are elite shock troopers, much like the dark troopers seen in Battlefront II, but in Phase 3 armour. Ignore the mistakes on the commander, he has a lot of fixing up. But honestly, do you think they should be dirtied up to look like they've been in some action?

And if your wondering whats in the background, here's a sneak peak.

Dude, those are AWESOME!

Dude, those are AWESOME!
Wow! Now that is some WIP goodness if I ever seen some. Are those the Garage sale shockies that you had mentioned? You can't beat fodder like that.
-
holy moley those are so awsome :'( there buetiful (sniff sniff)
-
Nice Mando. The colors alone make him look so badass.
Too bad his backstory isn't. :-\
Can't wait to see those WIPs finished.
-

Yep, there the badly scraped shocks i got from next door's garage sale for fiddy cents!! Couldn't wait to get into customising them.
Thanks everyone, i think ill just go off and finish them now!!
-
oOOooooOOoo i love project 501st, and those shocktroopers are sick!
-
Nice Mando. The colors alone make him look so badass.
Too bad his backstory isn't. :-\
Can't wait to see those WIPs finished.
Well now, can't wait to see you post some of your own here guy and will look forward to reading your backstories.
Still, these latest figures look sweet. I like the color and the triangle theme going on here.
-
great WIP pics Lamb!! nice crisp lines on them triangles mate and that teaser shot of the 501st TT looks awesome so far, looking forward to seeing how they all come out...
P.S. pay no mind to that backstory comment, it's better then what i could ever come up with, it's a shame some people can not appreciate what others are doing,
its his first post and a nice way to say hello with an insult!! J.A!!!
-

Lambonspit's customs look so good they are worth 3 or 4 good backstories. I will be looking for some true poetry when you post a backstory, CW Collections.
-
Can't wait too see that turbo tank ;D
Liking those orange clones, that orange is really a nice shade.
Is that burnt orange?

Thanks CC and Clonehead. i don't really mind as everyones entitled to their opinion. He probably doesn't know that here at the Shipyards we have constructive criticism and we all try to support each other. I did my research and tried to tie in a figure that i made into real events which happened in the Star Wars universe. The turbo tank is a huge job though, and has taken ages so far!!
Is that burnt orange?
Actually its blood red!! The colour came out as very orange on the camera
-
blood Red that's very odd that the photo came out looking orange... i would love to see some natural light photos of these when they are finished...
-

Hope you took no offense in that.
I too would like too see the true light pics.

I'll bet that TT is a big task. It's looking great so far, though.

Love it mate, your Elite Shocktroopers are amazing
great job 10/10
-
Great fier storm trooper.
-

-
WOW for a minute there I was thinking Halloween!! Yes I actually made one for my nephew he named it commander hallow. Those are some wicked colors cant wait to see the finished product .
-
These are awesome.
-
Hey everyone.
Got the scorpion green i needed and i managed to finish these customs early this morning. The photoshoot is what took longest. Its like gale force winds just had to turn up when i was setting up outside!! I have to say, i 'borrowed' some ideas from Fiala when making these customs. I've always loved his firestorm troopers!! And the base is so fiala too!! Thanks for the inspiration man!!
Here's the backstory.
E.O.D.S.T (Elite Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) were deployed late in the clone wars after the conclusion of the Battle of Coruscant. Jumping from low orbiting Cruisers, E.O.D.S.T's used small modified jet packs to control their altitude and speed, whilst a special breathing device supplied them with air whilst in the troposphere. Armed with ARC casters, these troops could easily take out 4 droid targets when the gun was fully charged. These troopers saw great use in the battle of Utapau, where they easily manoeuvred themselves into the sinkholes and engaged droid forces on landing platforms. Commonly mistaken with Jet Troopers, E.O.D.S.T's had a greater level of training, highly modified armour and jet packs and a much powerful gun. At the conclusion of the clone wars these troopers were phased out and eventually evolved into Phase Zero Dark Troopers. Leading the E.O.D.S.T's is Commander Remat, who rather than jumping with his legion, prefers to land and engage the enemy after his troops have cleared the way.

Hope you guys like em!!
-
Great photos mate and the custom figures look awesome. I love how the commander doesn't jump and prefers to land in a ship. LoL :)
-
Great back story Lamb!! fantastic customs!! and Awesome photos!!.... brilliant all round!! you should be proud!!
-
great figures. I like em!
I especially love the paint, very nice apps. I love the paterns, and the distinction of the commander with his pauldron.
I do have one issue though, the hoses look too much like they are just glued to the front of the helmets... I suggest that you get a small pin sized drill bit and drill a couple recieving holes in the helmets for the hoses and make it look more like they are going strait into the helmet itself.
the jetpacks look great, great use of the rocket firing attachments that came with the super battle droids.
-
Those EODST figures look great. Seems like they would be fun to make. I like the paint scheme and the markings the most. The lines are crisp and there some nice accent details. If this were a Hasbro product, it would certainly sell.
-
These are very well done my friend. Great paint aps and color scheme. They are very crisp looking and better than factory fresh. The stand and back story are awesome as well. The only thing that looks a bit off is the length of the air hoses. Shorten them up a bit and these guys will look a bit better to me. Still great customs though.
-
Lambonspit you have outdone yourself on these clones. Very cool.
-
Outstanding clones the history is cool.
-
I love those outside shots. These figures turned out nicely.
-
Nice out side shots. ;D
-
the finished product looks amazing dude! i love these!
-
Nice I like how you made it silver in places and the black is good to because it makes the silver stand out.
-
excellent custom figures mate. I'm a big fan of your Elite Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
The paintjob looks fantastic and I like the outdoor pics.
great job 10/10

Hey everyone, here's some custom republic commando's that i've been working on this week. Coincidently the call for Karen Traviss to return also started this week, so im using these figures as a ploy on youTube to get some more people to join the cause. The vids up already and you can watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-TMqVO7EZY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-TMqVO7EZY).
Here they are:
Alpha Squad, deployed alongside Omega and Delta Squad, were elite clone commandos that participated in elite missions during the clone wars. Like other clone commando squads, Alpha squad was composed of 4 members. Boss, another clone commando was also known to accompany the team on special missions of urgency. These members were:
A'Den: A clone commando specialised in Jungle warfare. His name reflects his demeanour and brutal style of combat...merciless

(http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab214/lambonspit/P2130072.jpg)
Blackout: A clone commando trained specifically for urban warfare. If you've got CODMF2 you'll notice his camo scheme is actually the urban camo scheme that can be unlocked for primary weapons!!
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2778/4352575419_2b754cf560_b.jpg)
(http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab214/lambonspit/P2130084.jpg)
Glitch: Technicians expert and the squads primary computer specialist. Trained in cracking any CIS codes and was used to change the message being sent out of the jedi temple after order 66 was issued.

(http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab214/lambonspit/P2130083.jpg)
Climber: Leader of the Airborne Assault corps, he is highly trained in high altitude combat and can scale any obstacle.

Boss: A repaint of the clone commando, this variant of Boss is meant to be more battle hardened and battle damaged.

love the paintjob on them they are awesome
-
Thanks everyone, glad you liked them!! I was actually very proud of these ones, so im glad you guys like them too!!
What kind of paint did you use? It looks smooth. No brush strokes like some I have seen.
Thanks. i use citadel paints. But due to the sweltering heat here, the paint has sorta curdled and has gone really thick and gluggey and now only needs 1 coat to completely cover the figure!! Odd huh?
Looks great. cool video. going to the front page.
Thanks mate!! Really appreciate it!!
-
Wow, nice squad! I like boss, the most.
-
WOW I gotta get me more commandos love the paint jobs they all rule!
-
Where did you get those commandos? Comic Pack or the Evoulutions pack?
-
Where did you get those commandos? Comic Pack or the Evoulutions pack?
They look like the new Fi figure so I'd have to say evo, but where did you find all of them.
-
That's what I was thinking, evolutions. I just wonder how people afford all of the clones. I mean I have about 175 myself but I see guys with 500 or so. I guess some people just focus on Clones, or Jedi, or just Star Wars period. Myself, I collect figures from everything, movies, comics, video games, superheros, etc. If those are from the Evolutions pack, you must be the reason why I can't find any huh?

A fantastic seller on eBay sold me the commandos. Her eBay user name is Xinguang6688. She's great. Sold me the Fi's, some starships, AT-AP's and an AT-RT. I usually email her what i want and she goes and finds it and sends me an invoice. Obviously, the figures are seconds, but for customising they're perfect. A small scratch or ill fitting backpack can easily be painted over or adjusted so they fit well.
-
Seconds? You mean factory rejects? You don't think that they were acquired without the factory's knowledge, do you?
The sellers of factory seconds are just piling up anymore. I guess that I can't blame them as times are tight all over and I am sure that these people are doing what they can to survive.

I honestly don't know. I would think that she operates the same way tunghori does. I know his are factory rejects, but i have no idea how they acquire them. Maybe they sell them to these other sellers, rather than just destroying the rejected items?!?!
-
That orange camo one is killer love all the color schemes but that one is the one that most intriged me.
-
The Alpha Squad just blinded me with their awesomeness. Brilliant.
-
awsomes all are absolutly awsomes!
-
Great customs! I'm glad you included the backstory of the mando related with the "Last of the Jedi" book series. (I've almost finished the series!) Again, great job and can't wait to see more! bbfet
-
WOW!!!
Love the mando!! You can never go wrong with Black!!
Love the shock troopers!! the colors really pop!!
I also love the Commando's great color combo's!!!
Keep up the great work!!!

Hey everyone!
Heres another custom i have made recently. Hope you like him!!
Darth P'Sari - In an altered reality, General Grievous chooses to take Nahdar Vebb hostage rather than killing him. Corrupt, and fuelled by hatred and through a lack of faith in his abilities, Nahdar turns to the dark side. Named Darth P'Sari by the fiendish droid leader, the new sith assassin led numerous missions on Grievous' behalf, and helped to maintain Grievous' position as leader of the droid army. However, when accompanying Grievous to Coruscant on his mission to kidnap the Chancellor, P'Sari's shuttle was shot down and crashed in the under-city, and he was not heard from since.

Very nice back story. I love the paint apps on this one !

Nice story to go along with him! I love the work you did on him most of all.

I have nothing but high praise for this custom! The colors are rich and clean as a whistle, the back story is compelling, and in the Star Wars universe, totally possible. I wish I had even ONE of these, not to mention others to customize!
-
Nice!
-
I saw this on the front page. It looks good. The black robes even make it look tougher.
-
Alpha Squad is just too cool.
