I have an idea to share with everyone and we will see who likes it. I would assemble a box of fodder for parts to make 3 complete figures along with a few accessaries. Send it to the first person on the list then they select the parts they like and assemble one custom from those parts, paint and post it in this thread. Then that person would add parts to get back to 3 complete figures, you could put a few extras in if you want, and send it to the next person on the list. I think this could be fun and a way to get rid of fodder you don't need. What do you guys think? Anyone interested?
-
so long as its not too expensive ..i'm game
-
..........................

That's a very interesting idea that has been mentioned before. Parts, I have but time could be an issue.
Let's see who else chimes in on this.
-
Great! We have some takers. Also list where you reside as you go, like UK or US and the state. I may send it in order of replies or the closest to me. We will see how many are interested and go from there.
Also, there is a lot of various lines out there for fodder. I think we should all agree on the style/type of parts we want. Cartoon or Realistic would be the first thing to decide. If I put well articulated/ all newer stuff in I want the next person to do the same. I will require everyone to post a pic of what they received, wip shot, then finished custom. You can post the pic when you get the box or when you finish the custom, up to you. I will be thinking about other ideas/final rules and please give ideas before we start.

Who is next?

wraithnine ,maldon ,Great Britain
-
Jay would you vote cartoon or realistic fodder? Also everyone else go ahead and give your answer.
-
..........................
-
CW for me but not everyone will have CW fodder
-
Im in CW for me just in case your wondering.
-
..........................
-
oh TX U.S.A.
-
i think we should do cw and I'm in willing to do it.

Koty, you could stay in and send your custom with the parts box to the next person to photograph. If we complete the circle it would come back to you. if we get enough interest to make a circle.
Looks like everyone likes the CW fodder.
51 views and no one else interested? Come on guys we need a few more in here.
-
..........................
-
I'd be in!
Phatty, US, Indiana
-
Awesome! One back in and a new compadre. Pat do you vote CW or realistic fodder?
-
so when do we start?
-
I was going to give this a week to see who signs up. Looks like it will be CW fodder and I have assembled a few things. I have a few parts for Jay so I can start by sending him the parts box with those as well.
-
I will go with whatever is the consensus. I typically stick with realistic, but would be happy to pick up a few CW figs to boil and pop!
-
..........................
-
Yes that is exactly how it will work. I'll send Jay a package this week to get the ball rolling.
-
..........................
-
Yes that is the plan, look for the list later today or tomorrow. I am a bit under the weather right now. When you see the list start PMing your address to the person before you.
-
..........................
-
anyone want to take this to the chat room? Looks like a few of us are on.
-
..........................
-
going to chat

OK guys, this has started as I sent Jay the parts this morning and he will have it next week. Here is the order...
From me to Wraithnine
Wraithnine back to me as we have a side deal, to save him some shipping cost.
I'll assemble new fodder and send it to Mandaloriansrule1
Kreeper2
Commandercharlie
Phatty
If no one else signs up it will come back to me and stop or change styles. I hope to get a few more people in on this so feel free to sign up after we start. Remember take a pic of the fodder you receive, a pic of your cutom bashed together, and a final photo of the completed custom. I also ask that once you decide what parts you are using go ahead and mail the parts to the net guy to keep this thing moving. Don't sit on it for a week, 2-3 days should be plenty of time to get it back out. You are to use the parts you are sent and can add up to 4 pieces from your own fodder. The idea is to see how creative you can be with minimal choices. I'll be back soon with a photo to show what you are expected to have in the bag. Any questions or complaints or ideas are welcome. Lets make this fun for everyone!
-
..........................
-
That is what I want to do as well. I may even add a no clone trooper rule in there. This round is going to be a trooper run I predict. No need for 2 rounds of the same thing.
-
..........................
-
thats where i will possibly run into a problem as most of my figures/fodder are CW now (due to legacy being killed off and me abandoning realistic clones)
-
THIS IS NOT WHAT I SENT JAY. JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU SHOULD/COULD SEND.
I wanted to give an idea of the amount of fodder you should send/receive. It doesn't have to be clones but deos have to be CW stlye fodder, could be all droid parts, or Jedi, whatever is in this line.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/DSC_0005-21.jpg)
-
k that dosent seem that hard when do we start i'm really excited for this!
-
Charlie, it started today when I sent Jay the package. Send your address to the person on the list before you.
Also I would like for everyone to sign the bag in permanent marker. You will see what I mean when you get it.

some of that stuff isnt clone wars like the back pack in the top left corner and the satchel is defintley not clone wars
-
I'd definitely be in for the Legacy loop. I'm not terribly much into the CW style, buuuuuuut...
What the heck - go on and put me into the rotation for the CW loop, as well. I'll come up with something. (I think I'll end up having to buy a fig for this, but it could be worth it, fun-wise.)
I'm Louisiana, USA
So I end up sending it back to Sprywalker, then? That could be ... most convenient. Oh, yes...most convenient indeed!
-
if kreeper dosent mind you could swithch with him and we do legacy as i wanted legacy aswell.
-
YES! I hoped you would jump in on this Doc. You are at the end of the list so send your address to the person before you. I am going to call it now...Legacy fodder for round 2. We will discuss that more when this round is over, but still feel free to keep signing on for this guys.
Charlie, when it comes to the accessaries I say anything goes. Though all body parts need to be CW style. This will give us more diverse creations imo. I thought about throwing in a Joe helmet but put it back. I also wish I had included a traveling figure for everyone to take a pic with while they had it.
-
..........................
-
Hey I think we could all use any accesories that we see fit to use as long as the base figure is cw atleast thats what im planning on doing no?
-
That's the way I understood it, kreeper - CW bodies/heads, anything goes on the accessories.
-
Yes, exactly guys. Any type of accessary is game.
-
..........................
-
I would like for you to post your pics here. Jay should have the parts one day this week.
-
..........................
-
I love this idea and can't wait to see the results... maybe by round 3 or 4.. I'll have my customizing feet planted back in the ground and I'll be able to participate in this.
-
the parts have arrived!!!
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/080620101314.jpg)
-
Awesome! It took exactly 1 week to get them there. So what are you planning Jay? The strapping material is all yours for future use. Don't send that back even if you don't use it with this custom.
-
ok i didnt realise that (just ignore it in the pictures then )
ok this is what i'm taking out :
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/080620101317.jpg)
hope thats ok...
-
i'm gonna swap out the chest for a nubbed head one and the shoulder plates and chest armour are for something else but i will add a pair of arms and see where we go....
-
this is what i'm putting in :

(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/080620101315.jpg)
the figure on the far right is just a junk figure hope this is ok......
-
Looks like a fine lot Jay. I can't wait to get it I have a few ideas marinating.
-
Guys, I just caught up with this, what a fun idea... I'm keeping my eyes on this post to see how it evolves.
-
So how are things going Jay? Any progress to report?
-
will be posting this week sorry for the delay but my brother was rushed in to hospital with suspected menningitis ,i also had physio and it didnt do me any good at all been laid up in a lot of pain. i'll post as soon as its on its way my apologies everyone especially to mr sprywalker who has been especially patient with me .
-
Hey, no worries, just wanting to check in with you and see if there was any progress. Sorry to hear about your brother and hope things get better for you as well.
-
right i am posting the package out on friday afternoon (thats a definate )
in the meantime i took the rex body and AT-TE or Turbo Tank gunner (i cant remember which) head
i swapped out the chest for a nubbed head one from an AT-TE clone and added a pair of AT-TE clone arms i had spare then all i did was paint the fin,kama trim and knee pads GW "codex grey" and then i applied an inkwash ,a simple but effective custom took about 15 mins
CLONE AT-TE/JUGGERNAUT COMMANDER

there you go guys thats my "brotherhood of the travelling parts "custom many thanks to LE for starting this excellent idea and also many thanks to him for sending me the parts which allowed me to complete Zulu Squad .
-
That looks awesome Jay! :o
-
Awesome work Jay! I don't think anyone can beat that 15 min custom. Great idea to make a commander for the AT-TE squad. If Jaxon sees this he is bound to want me to make him one. Well I for one am glad to see the first custom from the brotherhood to be posted. Also don't forget to sign the bag with a sharpie before you send it out Jay. Bravo!
-
oops i dont have a marker(believe me i scoured the house!) so i sealed it up unsigned sorry could you sign it for me mate thanks
-
cool custom jay!
-
That was definitely sharp, Jay! Nice work. I can't wait til it gets to me!
-
this is what i'm putting in :

Good to know the parts I sent you were appreciated Jay, and that you are giving them away (I won't bother in future ;) ) LOL
Hope whoever ends up with those parts comes up with something cool!
-
They are on the way to me and what is left over will go to the next person. They will be appreciated by all!

-
well .the brotherhood of travelling parts ...errr...parts.. are travelling i posted them out to Mr Sprywalker this afternoon ..so the y-wing and parts are on their way!!
-
Sounds good Jay, I can't wait!
-
Guys I got the package today from Jay. I amexcited to get crackin' on this in about an hour. I'll have picks of the lot of fodder and my WIP shot soon.
-
yaaaaaay!
-
..........................
-
Koty, I need your address. I am ready to send you the parts.
Here is what I recieved from jay, along with the parts he didn't use from me.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/DSC_0031-4.jpg)
A great lot to choose from so my WIP pick will be next.
-
These are the parts I am using and first I had to mend the broken torso. I started with my own set of legs and cut them at the mid section.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0001-32.jpg)
Then I dremeled a slot for the screw head to fit in.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0002-29.jpg)
The screw fits perfectly...
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0004-24.jpg)
Now drill a hole in the torso that is smaller than the screw and twist the torso onto it.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0006-26.jpg)
so here is my WIP pic. All he needs now is a bit of paint.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0010-21.jpg)
Koty, PM me your address.
-
..........................

awesome!
-
That was sweet, L.E.! I can't wait til this one gets to me!
-
thats so cool bro cant wait to get my turn at this HURRY UP KOTY!!!! J/K
-
excellent LE love it !
-
Thanks guys, I hope someone can use the little tutorial to fix some broken figures if need be. I managed to paint this guy last night and Jaxon suggested a name for him . So I give you, drum roll please... Kip Kein from the Clone Wars.

that looks awesome!! nice work

looks wicked LE :) ;D

Thanks guys, this was a lot of fun! I really like the generic head for a Jedi and the back pack came out pretty cool. Now I have a bit of news. I am going to include 2 traveling figures in the parts that I would like for everyone to take pictures of with their collection, serious or funny, just have fun with them and send them on to the next person. Here are a few examples...
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0029.jpg)
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0007-18.jpg)

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0011-20.jpg)
That's right the traveling figures are Oonacanda Farr and HB-94 the hangarbay droid!
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0031.jpg)
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0002-14.jpg)
I'll be sending everything to Koty Monday. Stay tuned...
-
awesome man!!!!
-
Now this venture is starting to really bear fruit. Great work guys'
-
Guys, I have a bit of news. There is a new member in this round of the Brootherhood, Jaxon Sprywalker. He wanted to get in on the fun and has pieced this together.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0014-10.jpg)
He will be choosing the colors and I will paint the Jedi for him.
-
looks cool
-
Jaxon picked well! I can see this as an arrogant Jedi knight who may or may not fall to the Dark Side, or perhaps fall in battle due to ego.
-
great man!!
-
Jaxon is glad everyone is liking his Jedi. He really wants to put some clone legs on this torso but I want him to do his first custom not me, and have to mod a torso that could fail when he plays with it. He understands and is still happy in the end and that is the whole idea. We only got a small bit of painting done today so we hope to finish him up tomorrow. Jaxon would like to thank Jay for the parts we got from him and I would like to thank Steve as I used one of the helmets he gave Jay. This has been a great spirit of giving and a lot of fun so far! Feel free to sign up now or later as we go down the list.
-
KEWL!

..........................

-
What ever you like Koty as far as signing the bag. Could you PM me before posting pics? I will hurry and take a pic of Jaxons Jedi that I just sealed up. I would like his finished pic up before yours. Cool?
-
..........................
-
Man that was fast shipping time to you Koty. Things are moving along nicely for the Brotherhood. So I snapped the pics of Jaxon's custon the second the sealer was dry. Here he is and Jaxon has named him Ieishe Keinn.
I give you my padawan Jaxon Sprywalkers first custom, with paint help from me.

great work keep it up!!
Rich
-
thats awsome let the kiddies get involved after all they do have some fantastic imaginations!!
-
this is one great customs!
-
Guys, I gotta pull out of this - I just got word that I will be leaving home next week to be gone for two months, maybe more. So when it gets down to my name on the list, just skip over me and keep it moving.
-
Where are you going Doc?
-
Looks good, expect to see this on the fp soon. Looks like Doc is gonna be on hiatus for another bit.
-
Cool Tamer Jaxon would flip if this was on the FP.
-
..........................
-
what did u make?
-
..........................
-
custom clone trooper.
Thanks for being descriptive! lol
-
lol
-
as soon as i get something!!! still nothing koty
-
Ok guys, what is going on with this? Koty said he sent it July 14th, today is July 24th it could have made it around the world by now. Kreeper, did you get the package? I should have required everyone to provide the receipt prooving that they mailed it. I also should have asked everyone to include insurance as I not only sent fodder but 2 of my custom figures.
-
ITS Tuesday the 26 and still nothing maybe snailmail is really slow lately sorry luke ill post as asoon as i get something.
-
Man, this isn't looking good. I hope everything works out on this. I sure do want to get my 2 customs back... ???
-
Man, this isn't looking good. I hope everything works out on this. I sure do want to get my 2 customs back... ???
i dont bloody blame u!
-
Tell me about it i was looking forward to getting the parts and workin on a custom.
-
Well I am sad to say it looks like the dark side has taken over what could have been a really fun community building project. Koty, Mandoloriansrule1, has supposedly mailed the parts, trade items to me and trade items to other members that misteriously just never showed up. Yea right. Looks like I am out a good bit of fodder, trade items plus 2 custom figures, one of them being HB-94, the Hangarbay Droid I made to look like Jules little symbol/character he used to mark his art with. It is a sad day for me...
-
and good customs they were
-
I have received word from Koty that he will be following through with his deals this week, and that includes sending out the Brotherhood of Traveling Parts this week. He says he's been sick, so I will be keeping an eye on this.
-
Well I just got a pm from mr. koty and he is currently gonna go check the post office to see whats going on and it will be another week before I get my stuff as well as the traveling parts. Unfortunetly im gone till the 14th and will not be able to work on the project so luke let me know if and when i get the packages do you want to continue or do I just ship your stuff back to you and well call it a day please let me know.
-
I think it should go to Pat next so we don't have another 2 week delay. Then it could go back to you kreeper. What does everyone think? Koty, please reply here.
-
isnt it me after kreeper and I think pat is going to celebration 5 but Im not !
-
thats kool with me just letting everybody know thats the hard part but pat to you it is then.
-
Guys, since I will be in Florida from 8/10-8/16, why don't we just go with Commander Charlie, then Kreeper2, then me, and we can go back to L.E. after that? I'd hate for too many delays in this.
-
hey ill be in Florida from the 3rd to the 14th maybe ill run into you at the convention theyre housing us at the Rosen Centre Hotel its supposed to be next to the convention center.
-
Ah yes, that is right. It should go tho Charlie, pm your address to move this thing along.
-
pm sent
-
..........................
-
Send the fodder to Charlie. PM sent.
-
..........................
-
yes they did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Glad we are back on track. Don't forget to take pics of my 2 customs with your collection or however you want.
-
I have a question do you mind if i take outdoor pics?
-
outdoor pics are great!

-
It is nice to know that things have been shipped. I would probably suggest that from here on out that when it is time to ship that tracking numbers are used just to keep things honest so when folks say things have shipped a tracking number will actually prove it.
-
What's up guys just checking in to let everyone know that my stuff from koty was received yesterday!!
-
Hey what's happening with this project is it still going on ?
-
..........................
-
OK, I am confused. Kreeper, you have the parts but want to know if this is still going on? We are waiting on you...
-
..........................
-
as i remember since i was going to be away mando was instructed to ship the parts to the next person in line wich was commander charlie all I got was my trades not the traveling parts.
-
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I forgot about that. Who knows what is going on. I need to back up and check posts.
-
Ok if you go to the previous page Charlie has the parts and has not shown us a WIP pic yet. Hey Charlie, where are you?
-
LOL! This has definitely been an adventure, hasn't it?! We've got to see what Charlie's up to, and then it goes to Kreeper, and then to me, and was there anyone else after that?
-
yay I took my pics ill show you it i actually fifnished it and i took pictures of eveything
-
Ok, then I believe you are sending it to Kreeper next. Get his shipping address info from him, and please use tracking numbers when you mail it so that it can be accounted for. Get those pics up online, and let us know when you send it out!

wow! thanks glad u like him
-
it has been sent take me out
-
Charlie, don't worry once this first and only round is over the brotherhood will be over. This has been way harder than it should have been. 2 people so far out of this small group didn't follow directions and allow others to wait and wait...by the way where is the tracking number? When this thing first went sour we said everyone had to post the tracking number when they shipped it as proof.
-
Charlie please check in. Kreeper can you confirm that hou have not got the package?
-
sorry guys been away for a while . Yes i got it pics willbe up soon and your package will be in the mail by sat just need your info let me know.
-
Ok Rich, I'm sending you a PM with my info in it right now. Thanks for letting us know what's up with this!
-
Man, what a load off my mind. Glad to hear this snail is crawling again. I can't wait to see your pictures and what you have created with the parts.

FINALLY HERE ARE MY CUSTOM PICS AND YES LUKE ONE MORE STOP AND THEYRE BACK HOME BROTHER!!!!!!!!
-
looks great K2!
-
Wow that clone trooper looks sweet! I like that look.
-
AWESOME! I love the pic with Onaconda Farr and the HB-94 droid! Your clone is a great mix of parts and I really like the droid leg. Looks like he has seen many battles over the years. Also like the way you used the Anakin skirt and glued the holster to his other leg. Great looking custom my friend and job well done!
-
that clone is sweeet!
-
Very awesome, Rich! I can't wait to get these so I can begin on my project!
-
this is a awesome project !
-
very cool mate....keep 'em coming.
-
I got the package from Rich today for this, and will be starting on it as soon as I am able to. I do have a busy next week or so, but will get on it as quick as i can!
-
Thats a great relief bro cant wait to see wat you come up with!
-
Just glad to hear you have the parts Pat. Remember we would like to see a pic of the parts you have to choose from, one wip shot, a shot of the finished custom and a shot of my 2 figures hanging out somewhere in your collection, desk, yard or whatever you come up with. Also wanted to mention that new banner is Bangin!
-
Well, I already screwed this up, but that was because I thought our camera was at my wife's school where she said she left it. I'll instead give it a step by step treatment and history.
I was able to sit down and finally get into the pieces I wanted to use from this set. I donated Commander Cody and Plo Koon figures to the lot. I boiled and popped the Plo Koon because I wanted his forearms. I took another Commander Cody body that was in the package already, and looked as though it had been attempted to use several times. I removed the forearms to Cody and added in Plo-Koon's forearms, trimming the elbow armor out so that the arm could straighten properly. Next I chose some shoulder armor caps I had lying around to beef out the shoulders. I kept the Plo Koon hands and head to use as well. I also chose what looked like some kind of armor that went with the clones from the Mission to Abbregaddo battle pack, with the gun holster on the front of it. I started with a medium grey paint as a base color to give it a uniform color, blending out the lines from Cody's yellow stripes. From there, I chose a French Blue to add as armor accents.

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/pnewell8/Custom%20Figures/DSCF0192.jpg)
Next, I used a clear orange paint to wash over Plo Koon's skin, so that it wasn't a direct swap out, giving him a skin tone of his own. I further changed his breathing and goggle apparatus from bronze to silver. I also added some random pouches to his leg gear to hold medical supplies.

Finally, I washed over the figure with a flat black to give him that weathered look, rounding out the figure. I have named him Captain Silas Elgin, Kel-Dorian male. No Jedi, nothing special. Just a desire to serve his Galaxy as a combatant and field medic in the war against the Separatists. He donned a set of Clone armor, along with some upgrades, and joined his brothers-in-arms, charging head first into any battle presented to him.

I'd really like to take this time to thank Luke Sprywalker for putting this very fun, very inventive contest together for us all. While we had some bumps along the road, the Brotherhood has traveled its circuit, and is now destined to return to its master. I'd sure like to do something like this again, but perhaps be a little more discerning in who is included in the process, so as to avoid the trouble we had in the past. Thank you Luke, thank you very much.
-
Looks really sweet man, awesome!
-
looks cool mate is it just me or do you really like that shade of blue
-
Well, blue is my favorite color. I was looking for a bold, regal color that would go well with the grey. Blue won out.
-
Very nice work Pat! I love the look of this trooper. Glad to see you got the parts and this baby is about to come full circle! I hope everyone had fun with this and we should try something like this again but with a new perspective. We have learned a lot through this one. Great job Pat!
-
awesome Pat thats very cool love all the parts you set up to get this done truly awesome!!
-
Hopefully, I'll be able to jump in on the next iteration - this looked like a great event. Lots of nice work in this.
-
I hope you don't mind me asking so far down the line, but what heads did you use for Kip Kein and Jaxon Sprywalker?
-
Hey no problem Mungo. Kip's head came out of a generic figure fodder bag so I have no idea, sorry. Jaxon is my son and his custom Ishy Kieen's head is Captain Argyous. SP? From the Clone Wars line.
-
if you are still doing this I would do it, I'd do a tutorial too. :)
Hannsfartknocker, US, Indiana
-
Well, this round is all done for now, but we'll keep you in mind if we do another round. By chance, where in Indiana are you from? I'm up North in Merrillville.
-
I'm in Avon a town off of Indianapolis.
-
Ah, Avon. My best friend and his family lived in Brownsburg, and his wife was a teacher in Avon. Small world.
-
What is your friends wife's name
-
Oh, they've since moved out to Washington D.C.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand: L.E., you'll be getting your package back soon. There's an extra special surprise in there I'm still working on, something Kreeper2 started and I'm finishing. Sort of a "thank you."
-
Oh man, that sounds interesting! Now you have my quriosity peaked!
-
Bump bum bum bup bump bum buuuuuuuuummmmmm! That is the sound of trumpets blaring! I am pleased to announce that the brotherhood of traveling parts has come full circle. I hope you guys had fun with this little experiment in customizing camaraderie. For me it is interesting to see what parts people choose and how everyone is different in there techniques and attributes. I had great fun in this as did the travelers themselves Onaconda Farr and HB-94. Boy have those two had some stories to tell. It seems Onaconda had some hand surgery while he was gone so I would like to thank the surgeon that mended his hands as they are now articulated. I would also like to thank Phatty and Kreeper2 as they put together a figure for me. Very kind gesture guys and I really like what you have assembled. The figure has a black base coat, which I love, and some orange markings were started. Pat felt he did not have the time to finish painting the figure and came up with a great wrap up to our story. I get to paint the figure these 2 guys started. I love it! Here is the figure...
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/sk8twistedtrees/Jedi%20customs/DSC_0007-27.jpg)
Now I have some ideas as to where to go with this but if anyone wants to throw out color schemes, accessories, helmet yes or no, things like that would be great. I want to keep the figure as is because I love what they came up with. I was thinking about sculpting a second layer of armor over his thighs just to add some bulk and make him even tougher. It would be seen as a second layer over the first, hope you know what I mean. So what does everyone think?
-
WOW this figure looks absolutly amazing!!! love the color scheme and reds on him, wouldnt change that... a second layer, hmm, dont know yet, have to do more thinking, but sounds cool.
-
I think I like him the way he is. Which is totally awesome! I would just have an extra set of hands that match and that can hold a weapon. He kind of looks like a more evil version of Dilbon Vont from " Memoirs of a War Profitier" by Darth Depressis.
-
he looks sweet !
-
oh dear wouldnt like to piss him off .....
-
that looks cool great concept with the traviling parts !
-
FINALLY THE PARTS HAVE COME BACK TO lukesprywalker!!!! Just a little thank you and for all the hassle we had to go through before it was all over. Hope to do it again soon.
-
He does look pretty cool. Some cardstock could be the ticket for some thin armor plates for his thigh area. Dont want to bulk him up too much.
-
Or maybe some thin plastic, like from a for-sale sign.
-
L.E. this was just a great idea and it was interesting to see the stops these have all made. I know there were a few "bumps" in the road during the travels of these guys, but I am glad it turned out well.
I do like the looks of that figure and wonder if a SW helmet is in order with some of those same colors, at-at driver modified might look cool.
-
Ok guys, I read over everyones comments and have...added a helmet, 2 blasters and a custom riffle. As for the colors no one really commented on a direction for that so I went with earth tones. Without further delay here he is...
An ominous figure emerged from the woods and was heading straight for me...

Let me know if you guys approve and if someone wants to name this guy that would be great!
Oh yea, here is his riffle.

Daggone sweet helmet L.E.!
The blood on the gauntlets is pretty daggone sweet too. Your colors make sense too. Kind of hard for an assasin to do his or her job with bright armor.
Back to the front page with you.
-
awesome job on that assassin colors look perfect !!!!!
-
That is the coolest thing ive seen in a while in these forums LE. Earth tones go really well with this awsome job sir!!!!Very creative to quote Jay hes THE BOLLOCKS (WHATEVER THAT MEANS)!!
-
Amazing custom!
-
NOICE!!! Very interesting & creative blend of parts lines!
-
Cool custom. I hope he is not hunting Jedi.
-
L.E., I like your colors SO much better than those I started with, they do make more sense and you blended them so well. That rifle looks so serious, definitely a trusted ally in the field. The helmet is ominous for sure. I can't place it however, I think it's Luke's from Shadows of the Empire, yes?
-
I think that is Luke's helmet. Nicely done.
-
That helmet and blaster rifle are awesome. He looks like a serious commando or mercenary/bounty hunter. 10/10 in my book!!!! He also could be a Predator Hunter!
-
Nice!!!
That helmet goes great with that figure!!!
The rifle is great also!!!
Great job!!!!
Love it!!!
Rich
-
omen scar - precision bounty hunter/ assassin ! born on kuat he was raised by a renegade kiffar who taught him to use a custom rifle handed down by a mandalorian gunsmith . he utilises two blaster pistols stolen from a deceased victim
-
lovin it LE he looks bada$$
-
Thanks for the comments guys I had a lot of fun putting the finishing touches on this guy. I spent around 3 hours painting him and about 45 minutes on the gun and working soft goods shoulder strap. The helmet is indeed the SE Luke helmet but it was a cast I have had for a while waiting for the fight body. I put it on and the look was perfect! I was waiting for someone to bring up the Predator look to the helmet as I thought the same thing. At any rate I am glad everyone is liking how I finished this one up as it represents the creative efforts of 3 forum members, Phatty, Kreeper2 and me. Not sure where this will go from here. Things were much different for me when I started this and for now we will take a break and who knows this could happen again one day.
-
i enjoy those jkinds of figures
-
If another traveling parts goes down I want in on it!
-
I also was thinking about Predator when I seen this guy today. I love that gun and your paint apps are perfect for this guy.

Great minds think alike....lol
-

Totally!
-
Great figure.
Is that a functional rifle sling?
-
cool figure
-
G West, yes it is. I put a small ring through each end of the riffle then added a soft goods strap by looping it through the rings. It is a string type material I sent around with the traveling parts so everyone could get some.
