Time to celebrate May the 4th Imperial Shipyards Style!
(http://i.imgur.com/khV7j5d.png)
Hello Shipyarders, today we are announcing The Star Wars No Paint Kit Bash Rally 2017. Open to any member of the Shipyards, make/enter anywhere from 1 to 5 figures of the 3.75" or 6" Variety. Your entry needs to be Star Wars in nature and can be from any time frame or genre you choose (OTC, Prequel, Rogue One, TFA, TOR, etc.) as long as it is a new custom for you that hasn't been shared yet. The idea is to get us thinking about what parts look good together without painting anything. You are allowed to add greeblies, bits, strapping or other "do-dads" as you wish. We would like to see multiple parts added (more than just a head swap) as an entry and when you submit a photo of the figure (up to four images for each entry) we will also need a parts list (recipe) and description of what you have done. Then, after this is over, we can take all the great creations you folks will come up with and replicate them ourselves down the road. This contest will run from now till June 4th, 2017 at 9 AM eastern standard time.
For each figure you enter here (in this thread), you will get 1 ticket with your name on it in the Empire Strikes Back Mug ( with my daughter drawing em out when all the entries are in ). Meaning the more kit bashes you make the more entries you get for the random drawing. Again, you can enter up to 5 figures. Once again please make sure your entry includes:
1. A picture
2. Your parts recipe
3. Description of how you put them together
I have a ton of prizes stored up from our challenge hiatus so look for me to draw quite a few names. I will try go get you more pictures very soon, but wanted to announce this for May the 4th. This is definitely not the entire list.

And the image above is from my daughter's entry way back in 2014 when she made her own entry for this contest. I need to go back and see if I can find it. Matter of fact feel free to go down memory lane like I did today from our previous challenge:
http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=8904.msg168114#msg168114
There were some great entries there. This will be a great challenge to start up our custom contests again. Thanks for entering Yarders!

Oh man, knew it would come down to this! It's going to be a challenge, for sure. I'm so used to using paint, even sparingly... but I'm sure we'll see a lot of creative ways around that.
-
I can't wait to see some entries pop into this.
-
Anyone working on anything for this?
-
Actually I have a few ideas for "ultimate" figures that are no paint kitbashes. So win win. It really is a challenge, I usually use a splash of paint on everything. Great prizes too!
-
I thought I might get this rolling - though the figure is quite simple. I really like the Scarif Trooper body, so I'm thinking about customs for it.
Egrel Semot is an Imzig, who like Utris M'Toc was a member of the High King's Guard. After a bloody coup he went into exile to protect his family from those who had staged the coup. His military training and experience with forced take-overs made him a ripe candidate for the Alliance. It wasn't long before he was noticed by Airen Cracken of Rebel Intelligence. Egrel was recruited into the Raiders Battalion. Functioning in teams of two, the Raiders are armored commandos who function deep in enemy territory for long periods of time disrupting communication and supply lines, gathering intelligence, encouraging resistance groups and taking out strategic targets.

(http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah76/DocStarchaser/Egrel.Semot.2_zps18sficus.jpg)
The recipe is simple:
Scarif Trooper body, Utris M'Toc head, Endor rebel trooper (saga collection) helmet, blasters from a rebel fleet trooper and a ROTS AT-RT driver. The head fit on the Scarif Trooper neck post, which is part of why I used it.
-
This is my first official entry of this contest. Here's an all new no paint kit bashed action figure by me.
This is my UBESE BOUNTY HUNTER custom Star Wars figure.
Parts list:
Bane Malar-upper torso, right arm, and right hand
Indiana Jones- belt holster
Miyoom Oonith- lower torso and legs
Build a droid Jabba's protocol droid- left forearm and hand
Clone Wars Embo- long rifle, plastic skirt, cloth skirt
TSC Princess Leia Boussh disguise- helmet
Sidon Ithano- blaster rifle
Assembly Description:
I boiled and popped apart a Bane Malar figure. I removed the helmet, belt holster, lower torso and legs and put them all aside as I did not need them at this time for this project. I then removed the left forearm from the Bane Malar figure. After that I put the left forearm of Jabba's Protocol Droid figure into the left upper arm of the Bane Malar figure. I boiled and popped apart a Miyoom Oonith figure. I also boiled and popped apart a Clone Wars Embo figure. I needed only the plastic skirt and
the cloth skirt of the Embo figure for this project so I put the other parts of Embo aside. I put the Embo plastic skirt onto the Miyoom Oonith lower torso and legs. I put the belt holster from the Indiana Jones figure over the Embo plastic skirt. I then put tne Bane Malar upper torso onto the lower torso and legs of the Miyoom Oonith figure. I used the cloth skirt from the Embo figure as a cape for this custom figure so I put the Embo cloth skirt onto the neck of the Bane Malar figure. I
then put the Boussh helmet (which fit perfectly allowing full range of motion for the helmet) onto the neck of the Bane Malar torso. I gave this now assembled custom Ubese Bounty Hunter figure the long rifle from the Embo figure and the blaster rifle from a Sidon Ithano figure and there you have it, an all new no paint kit bashed Ubese Bounty Hunter fully poseable action figure.

Starchaser, you got your entry posted just before me as I was typing my entry's information. Well played, well played :)
-
Wow, now that is the way to start! Two great entries. I like both customs. I will share Starchasers today and IABF's tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing you two!
-
I am Boba Fett is on the front page for todays custom challenge focus. I do like that Bounty Hunter.
-
Nice work, guys. I'll be joining you shortly; just gotta sort through the pics.
Fett, I get a definite vintage vibe from yours. At first, I thought it was built out of old Kenner parts.
-

Thank you very much for that Tamer! It feels good to be back on the front page again. Thank you also for hosting this fun custom challenge!

Forceflow, Thank you for the compliment on my custom Ubese Bounty Hunter figure. I really like how this custom kit bashed figure turned out. Can't wait to check out your entry once it's posted.

AGENT MULDAR First Order Security Bureau
Aux Muldar is a special agent of the First Order Security Bureau (FOSB), tasked with anti-smuggling and narcotics investigations. His affinity for non-human cultures and languages makes him an asset to the Bureau in dealing with underworld cartels. While his peers deride him as an "alien lover", First Order command recognizes the practicality of blending in.
Parts
- Head/torso/upper legs: Star Wars The Black Series Imperial Navy Commander
- Arms/lower legs/jacket: Star Wars Comic Packs Legacy #2 Cade Skywalker
- Rebreather: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra The Doctor
- Tubing/belt pack: fodder
Construction
Heat to swap joints. Dremel to modify joint holes and x-acto knife for accessories. Super glue to adhere mask, tubing, belt box.
It wasn't easy, but I resisted the urge to paint! Looking over a few WIPs on my table, I saw how many already had paint applied, even sparingly. Working in all black made it much easier. I'm a big fan of using like colors whenever possible, and black always looks good.
In the future, I could add some weathering and repaint the shoulder pad. All told, 90% of the construction was swapping parts from two figures. In my opinion, Cade was put to good use; he was creepy, and not in a good way. I'll have to find a use for his goofy head!
P.S. if the collage image violates the 4 images rule (since I have the big main image), I will happily revise and resubmit. Just thought I'd include a couple different views.
-
Wow, sweet bash. Off to share the latest!
Now that looks fantastic on the front pages. I was even able to recognize a few of those parts before I read your parts list.
-
Sith Apprentice
The parts are all various Snake Eyes parts from G.I.Joe. Head is also from the Joe line, it's an unmasked Storm Shadow. Cape is from Marvel Universe. Light Saber is from a Darth Vader fig.
-
Rebel Officer Han Solo
Some time between Episode IV and V. Han is seen here on a special mission with a sachel of explosives.
Body is from a Wal-Mart Captain Cassian. Head is from the G.I. Joe line, can't remember the figure but it's the one that looks exactly like Harrison Ford. Lol. Explosive sachel is from a Joe Tunnel Rat figure. Blaster is from a Has Solo figure.
-
Wow, two nice entries. Can't decide which one I like more. I will take the Sith Apprentice to the front page and then use the Rebel Han tomorrow.

Hey Yarders
It's been ages since I posted anything.
Here's a figure I whipped together
He's Pheese Poiyer, space pimp
He's a Gran who was a little less than reasonable with a pair of twins at a bar on Tatooine. There was a break down in negotiations, and lucky for the Gran, Mos Eisley spaceport had an excellent prosthetics clinic. He was back in business after a short hiatus.
He's not a cool bounty hunter or a smuggler or a Sith.
I just feel his particular career path is under-represented in the Star Wars Universe.
Recipe
Head: Mawhonic
Hat: Pirates of the Caribbean, On Darker Tides, Angelica
Body: Terminator 4, Marcus Wright body
Left hand: U-3PO
Right hand: Mawhonic
Legs: HK-50
Cane: Black series ERG Force pike
Cape: a kids ratty glove that I found on the street in Rehobeth, Del.

CloneSniper78, I gotta get me one of those Cassians. Makes a great Han. Nice work!
Sjefke, that's one slick, supafly Gran. Pimpin' ain't easy when you got metal legs! Great use of parts.
-
Well Star Wars has less than savory characters too and wow he sure fits the bill. Before reading the description I thought that was his career path. Off to share.
-
Here is my first entry for the No Paint Kit Bash competition. I was thinking of Jan Ors, and how much her name sounds like Jyn Erso. Anyway this is a mashup of the two characters. Basically a Rogue One era Alliance female sniper. Head is from the 5 POA Jyn Erso, torso is from Sarissa Jeng, skirt is from Kithaba I believe and the lower legs are from Mara Jade. Boil and pop and reassemble. Added Rey's backpack and a sniper rifle and viola. Hope you all enjoy...
-
I like her. Off to share your entry in all the right places.
-
Heres another entry of mine in to the No Paint Kitbash contest. An Old Republic Force Sensitive Nikto scoundrel. Head and hands are Vizam, torso is from Bom Vimdim, skirt is Quinlan Vos and the legs are Kithaba's. Pistol and lightsaber are from the fodder bin. Boil and pop and reassemble.
-
Heres another entry in to the No Paint Kitbash contest. A female bounty hunter. Head is from the 5POA Force Awakens Resistance Trooper. Torso is Mara Jade. Belt and chest armor are from a GI Joe figure, lower legs are from Toryn Farr. Rifle is from the fodder bin. Boil and pop and reassemble.

Wow, all kinds of new great entries in here. bdc41866 I will get the rest of yours featured and then get Gurt's great entries on the front page.
And folks feel free to make more than five kit-bashes, but understand the maximum number of entries for the prize drawing is five no matter how many more you make. Glad to see folks having fun.
-
CloneSniper78, I gotta get me one of those Cassians. Makes a great Han. Nice work!
Sjefke, that's one slick, supafly Gran. Pimpin' ain't easy when you got metal legs! Great use of parts.
Thanks CS78
Well Star Wars has less than savory characters too and wow he sure fits the bill. Before reading the description I thought that was his career path. Off to share.
You're profiling.
That's just wrong.
😜
-
OK I finished off bdc41866's entries and now I will move onto Gurt's. I will feature one a day until all are mentioned. I really like all the entries so far.
-
Im entering another one just to mess you up Tamer. Nah. Heres my fourth entry in to the No Paint Kitbash Custom contest. A Chagrian mercenary commander. Somewhat inspired by a character and miniature from Fantasy Flight's Age of Rebellion RPG. Head and hands are from Mas Ameeda, torso and belted tunic piece are from Kithaba, legs are from Vizam, and the weapons are a mix of Star Wars and GI Joe. Only thing I had to do other than standard boil and pop and reassemble the figure was to trim the pegs on Mas Ameedas hands so that they would fit into the wrist holes on Kithabas arms.
-
Now that is one kind of mess up I like! Keep em coming folks and you can make way more than five, but you will only get 5 entries for the prize drawing.
-
Hello, everyone. I've just joined the forum, and I wanted to share this quick custom I made recently.
Rodian Smuggler
The recipe is quite simple:
TFA Finn's Jacket and Arms.
TFA Han Solo Blaster and Belt.
ANH Greedo Body, head and hands.
I just boiled and popped everything. The arms and hands of Finn and Greedo so I could use the jacket sleeves, and heated Han's belt to remove it from the leg peghole where it's attached. After that, the assembly was easy, putting Finn's jacket and arms on Greedo's body and pulled the belt up to fix it in his waist.
-
Very nice Mr. Fleurs. I will get him in our FB Gallery and continue to use the front page to highlight one a day till we get em all featured.
-
Great customs so far everyone! Haven't posted anything on here for awhile but this contest has got me thinking about spare parts I could use to make some nice customs. I will post my five figures tomorrow.
-
Hey, everyone! Here's another custom I made during the weekend.
Luke Skywalker - Shadows of the Empire
TESB Bespin Luke's head and hands.
ANH Farmboy Luke's belt.
ANH Greedo's vest.
ROTJ Jedi Luke's body and lightsaber.
The same procedure, boil and pop everything, and reassemble while the parts are soft.
-
Here is my 5th entry in to the No Paint Kitbash Contest. This is a Rebel Heavy Weapons trooper. Head is from the Marvel 3.75 " Vulture figure, body is GI Joe ROC Breaker, backpack is GI Joe, helmet is Star Wars Endor Rebel Trooper. Rifle is blind box fodder. Last but not least gunbelt is from Mara Jade. Head swap then add the various fodder bits.
-
Hey all,
I have not posted any customs for a long time as I have been busy, but I must say, I had a really fun time making these figures and it really tested my ability to reuse and recycle fodder parts that I had from random figures that people discarded from various ebay purchases over the past few years.
Before I start explaining these figures, I just wanted to let everyone know that for the most part, minus the simple removing of heads (which the bodies from those donors will be used for future custom projects) were all created from already incomplete figures so I did not sacrifice any brand new figures but rather re-used parts to create figures that would have been sitting in a box. I really wanted to use this contest as a way to encourage myself to create something neat without having to spend more money.
Without further ado, below are my five entries for this year’s kit-bash custom contest.
#1 Unknown CW Jedi Master

Parts List
Head- G.I. Joe 50th anniversary 3-pack Special Forces Jodie Craig
Body- CW 07 Phase 2 Commander Cody
Arms- 2008 CW 01 Anakin Skywalker (or Space Suit Anakin would work)
Thigh- CW 2010 Deluxe Figure Obi-wan with BARC Speeder
Skirt- CW 36 Quinlan Vos
Legs- CW 07 Phase 2 Commander Cody
Backpack- BD 55 TLC Snowtrooper
Shoulder Armor- 30th TAC Mace Windu’s Attack Battalion Clone Trooper
Waist-piece/ammo-belt- GH01 Kashyyyk Trooper
Description:
I removed the head from the Jodie Craig figure and popped it onto the CW Phase 2 Cody body. The chest-piece was purchased from a fodder lot on eBay a long time ago so I didn’t have to boil and pop the parts away. I boiled and popped the arms off a CW Anakin and attached them to the CW Phase 2 Cody chest. The skirt from the CW Quinlan Vos was added to the thigh section of the CW articulated Obi-Wan and then boil and popped to be attached to the CW Phase 2 body. The CW cody legs were extra pieces in my parts bin and were boil and popped back into the thighs of the CW articulated Obi-Wan body. The backpack was from the TLC Snowtrooper was pegged into the back and the shoulder armor and the ammo-belt was clipped onto the figure.
#2 Jedi Master Mas Missur (CW style)
I have been always interested in trying to complete more characters that were part of the Omega Squad story line books. Jedi Master Mas Missur was in charge of the 35th infantry.

Parts List
Head- G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Duke Vs. Tombstone 2-pack Conrad Duke Hauser
Helmet- CW 21 Commander Gree
Chest- CW figure that uses the Stone Mold (has a hole drilled in the back)
Arms- CW 62 Captain Rex (Jet Propulsion Pack)
Wrists- Any Articulated CW style clone prior to the Stone Mold
Knife Strap- G.I. Joe 50th anniversary 3-pack Special Forces Jodie Craig
Waist/legs- CW 45 Anakin Skywalker
Backpack- TAC 30th Collection 30-15 Concept Boba Fett
Lightsaber- Fodder Bin
Description:
I simply removed the head from the Duke figure and popped it onto a CW style figure that uses the stone mold (sorry don’t know which figure it is. The chest piece was all I got from a fodder lot on eBay a long time ago). I heated the CW Captain Rex arms and popped them into the chest piece. The CW captain rex that I had did not have any wrists so I boiled and popped the wrists off a fodder figure that unfortunately had parts of the fingers cut off (something I will sculpt later on) and popped them into the forearm of the Captain Rex figure. The waist was boiled and popped from a CW 45 Anakin Skywalker and the backpack was pegged into the back. Knife vest/strap was removed from the G.I. Joe Jodie Craig figure and snapped in.
#3 Mandalorian Death Watch Rifleman
(I will most likely take this figure and try and make it into a CW style Montross figure as this was what I had planned originally when I first made the base for this figure)
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4227/34587948510_3c425f7632_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/UGqh4Q)IMG_2663 (https://flic.kr/p/UGqh4Q) by butterfingersbb (https://www.flickr.com/photos/clonecustoms/), on Flickr

Parts List
Head- CW 36 Quinlan Vos (hair removed)
Helmet- CW 08 Pre Vizsla
Chest/Arms- CW 36 Quinlan Vos
Waist/Legs- CW 08 Pre Vizsla
Rifle- The Black Series 3.75 inch Walmart Exclusive Sergeant Jyn Erso
Vest- G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Shipwreck vs. Cobra Commander 2-pack Shipwreck figure
Description:
This figure was a simple swap. I had an extra Pre Vizsla figure from the waist down, I simply heated the waist and popped it onto a the chest section of Quinlan Vos figure. I cut off the hair of the Quinlan Vos figure and placed a Pre-Vizsla helmet onto it. With Walmart currently selling The Black Series for 3.75 inch figures for around $6 a piece, the figures make for great customizing opportunities and I thought Hasbro did a fantastic job with the two Assemble/disassemble rifles for both the Jyn and Cassian figures. I really wanted to just take a picture and showcase the rifle and how they would match perfectly for people who are interested in customizing mandalorians or bounty hunters. The vest was taken from the G.I. Joe Shipwreck figure and simply clipped into place.
As mentioned earlier, I really do plan to take this figure and hopefully make it into a CW style Montross figure as I loved the way those two figures came out in the realistic version and would have loved to see them in the CW animated style.
#4 CW Clone Commander Levet
I took inspiration from this kit-bash for a project that I have wanted to do for a CW Desert Style Commander Wolffe. Unfortunately, the contest of painting made me see what else I could do and honestly I like the way the figure turned out, but I may use it for something else later on. Anyway, on to the figure.

Parts List
Head- Not Pictured but it’s a standard CW Commander Cody or Echo head
Helmet- CW 21 Commander Gree
Helmet Armor Add-on- ROTS AT-TE Gunner helmet add-on
Shoulder Armor- CW No.4 Captain Rex or any other Captain Rex figures
Chest/Body- CW Battle pack Hunt For Grievous Captain Rex
Forearms/Wrist- CW Deluxe Pack CW Snow Clone Trooper with Freeco Speeder
Thighs- CW Battle pack Hunt For Grievous Captain Rex
Legs- CW 12 Captain Rex Snow Gear
Mini Chain Gun- G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Duke Vs. Tombstone 2-pack Tombstone Figure
Description:
I had a lot of trouble with the creation of this figure especially removing the forearms from the Snow Clone Trooper. In the process, I broke one of the O-ring joints so I had to remove an O-ring from another fodder figure. I boiled and popped the forearms from the Snow Clone trooper and popped them back into the elbow joint for the Captain Rex body. The legs were also boiled and popped from the Snow Clone Trooper and popped back into the Captain Rex Body. And last but not least, simply put the AT-TE head armor onto the CW Gree figure and Clone Commander Levet was ready to go.
The Quinlan Vos legs and thigh will be used/saved to eventually create a CW style Dengar figure.
I saved the best for last, I was really pleased with how it turned out. I might add some small paint details to make it into a finished CW Style ARC Trooper Echo, but as it is currently, this figure would work for any customizer/collector as a cool CW style Clone trooper.
#5 CW Style ARC Trooper Echo (from the Bad Batch Arch onwards)
I got my inspiration from a person who designed their own interpretation of what CW Echo would look like with some prosthetic legs.

Parts List
Helmet- CW 2 Phase 2 Clone Trooper
Rangefinder- CW No. 4 Captain Rex
Shoulder Armor- TAC 30th Galactic Marine
Body/arms- CW 2 Phase 2 Clone Trooper
Wrists- CW No. 27 Kit Fisto (non-articulated)
Kama- CW 13 Phase 2 Captain Rex
Thighs/Legs HK-50 Legs
Backpack- TLC Greatest Hits GH 04 Star Wars Evo Trooper
Rifle- Star Wars the Black Series 3.75 inch Walmart Exclusive Captain Cassian Andor
Shield- CW 09 Mandalorian Police Officer
Description:
I had a spare rangefinder from previous customs that was already cut off and I super-glued it onto a CW phase 2 clone trooper helmet. I boiled and popped the body for the CW phase 2 Captain Rex to remove the Kama and I boiled and popped the body from the CW phase 2 Clone trooper to remove the ammo belt. I heated the figure and popped the groin area back with the Phase 2 Rex’s Kama. I simply popped the Hk-50 legs into the sockets. The wrists were from a CW Fisto that I had previously boiled and popped since the figure had been replaced by the new better face-sculpt and articulated Kit-Fisto. The backpack was pegged into the back and the shield was taken from a CW Mandalorian police officer. Again, with Walmart selling the Black series for $6, I decided to showcase this figure with Cassian’s rifle. The detail on these rifles really makes the figure stand out.
Hope you all like these figures, it was my first-time kit-bashing together some figures and for the most part, I really liked the way they turned out.
Here they all are together. To Tamer, this will be my fourth picture for my Mandalorian Rifleman Entry.

Here are my five entries for the No-Paint Custom contest.
The first figure is the commanding officer of the mercenary commando team I created elsewhere. He is basically Sergeant Bric. I used the Pons Limbic head instead, and replaced his hands with Pre-Vizla's. I then used the legs and waist from the Mandalorian warrior that came with the speeder bike, and glued Bric's boots onto them. I added a large, removable thermal detonator from a Stormtrooper to his belt, and gave him one of Embo's daggers in a black paper sheath. I also gave him the Arc Trooper Westar M5 rifle, modified with a power pack from a droid blaster.
The second figure is the team medic from that mercenary commando team. I envisioned him as an old ex-Clone soldier. The base figure is of the Pursuit of Cobra Recondo. I kept his vest and glued a GI Joe Retaliation Trooper holster to it and stuck Captain Rex's Clone Wars pistol in it. I then took the GI Joe Trooper's knife and sheath and glued it to the figure's thigh. I took some old soldier fodder figure ammo pouches and glued them to his other thigh, and included a removable Clone Wars-era thermal detonator to it. I took a Black Series Clone soldier's belt and glued it to the figure's waist, and glued the belt slot from a Sandtrooper to the back. I then took the tab from the Sandtrooper thermal detonator and glued it to the Clone thermal detonator to make it that one also removable. I replaced the forearms with the Clone Sergeant's, and then gave him the DC 15A rifle. I actually prefer the look of the animated clone rifle to the realistic one. I added a scene of him rescuing a civilian "hostage," complete with portable oxygen tank from the Han, Leia, and Chewbacca "space worm" three pack.
The third figure is the Trandoshan First Mate from my customized BMF ship. The base figure is Hrchek Kal Fas with Pons Limbic arms. The waist and legs are from a newer Gi Joe figure. The head, lower legs, and forearms are all from the Vintage Bossk figure. I don't remember where the belt is from, but the buckle and holster are from the animated Boba Fett figure. The blaster is from Jango Fett, and the comlink is a lightsaber cut in half.
The fourth figure is a Wookiee bounty hunter. I made his bowcaster from the Wookiee rifle that came with the Wookiee Warrior figure. I kept its stock and grip, but added one of Chewbacca's standard bowcasters to serve as the barrel and receiver. I glued a black piece of string to the round balls on either end of the "prongs." I built him a belt out of fodder pieces, and added cut strips of Chewbacca's bandolier to his leg to serve as extra ammo. I used IG-88's hand as a hook to hang Merimeru's Wookiee pistol on. I made a short sword from the handle of a GI Joe sword (Snake Eyes', I think) and the blade is from the GI Joe figure, "Overkill." The shin guards are from the Wookiee Warrior figure itself, and I made more articulated arms from the legs of another Wookiee figure. Chewbacca, I think. The sword sheath was made out of paper, black tape, and a spare pouch from an "Ultimate Soldiers" figure.
My fifth entry is a pirate. The base figure is a Shahan Alama figure. I replaced his left hand with a Clone soldier's, and have given him a Marauder Gunrunner sawn off shotgun to jam in his "cummerbund." I took the animated Boba Fett holster and attached it to the figure to serve as a sheath for his vibroblade. I then added the more articulated legs of the animated Boba Fett figure and glued Jedi Knight Luke's boots to them, too. Well, I think that's it for my parts lists!

This is my first entry in the custom Kitbash contest. I haven't posted in quite a while! This is supposed to be a Twi'lek spacer/ mercenary for hire. I haven't thought of a name for her yet.
Head: Cesi Eirriss
Body: The Black Series Toryn Farr
Hands: Cato Parasitti
Pilot harness: fodder bin, from some x-wing pilot figure
Knives: How to Train Your Dragon figure (character unknown)
I found a balljoint in my fodder box that fit Cesi's head and glued that on the Toryn body with super glue. The hands were boil-and-popped from cato onto Toryn's wrists. The pilot harness is currently attatched with a clear rubberband because I want it to be removable.

The Jedi Exploration Corps, or ExplorCorps, was organized officially as the Archaeological and Research Division of the Service Corps, and was instrumental in the discovery of many of the galaxy's ancient, forgotten secrets as well as the mapping of several of the galaxy's hyperspace routes.
This Rodian explorer worked for ExplorCorps 1,000 years BBY.
Recipe:
Arms, torso: TPM Obi-Wan
Legs: Tatooine Luke
Head and hands: Pax Bonkik
Chest harness: Tartakovsky Obi Wan figure
When this contest is over, I'm going back and painting the neck joint to match the Rodian skin color.
One more entry and I will post it Sunday.

Great entries so far, everyone! I am so glad that this challenge came along. I've taken a long hiatus from customizing (more out of disappointment in the direction of the toyline than anything, though time has been a huge factor as well...) and this was the perfect push to dip my toes in again. I finished three kitbashes for this one.
First up is a fairly basic one. I see her as a slicer/spy for the rebels. It uses the full body and head of a GI Joe "Shooter" figure with the vest from Jyn Erso black series, a wrist computer from the Toys R Us Thunderbirds toyline, and a gun from the Acid Rain line:

Next up is a member of Saw's partisans on Jedha. She uses the full Jyn Erso black series body, head and hood from Marauder inc, cloth goods from Leia black series, straps/gear from Chirrut Imwe, and a rebel fleet trooper blaster.

And last is a fairly simple one. I consider him to be a smuggler/information broker. His full body is from a figure in the Lost Planet toyline, the scarf is Marauder Inc. I am not sure which head this is - found it in my fodder bin.

I was hoping to finish a couple more figures, but I am happy as these are my first customs in a long, long time.
-
Wow, even more great entries. Time to go update the gallery and get a new one on the front page.
My Kind of Scum glad you like the challenge!
-
The entry phase is now over. I will be featuring each custom on our front page and announce the drawing for prizes directly after. What an awesome number of entries!
-
I really like that Shadows of the Empire Luke! I've been wanting to do the exact same figure for a while, but can't justify buying the figures again for just the parts.
-
Tamer,
Thanks for suggesting this contest. It made me think out of the box. It was a challenge to come up with entries. Every time I wanted to fix or improve a figure with a little bit of paint, I couldn't. Then it finally clicked.
Had a really good time with this one.

Wow guys, there's some really great customs here. I really was hoping to provide a couple more figures, especially since kit bashing is my normal method of operation. But a necessary renovation consumed my time and prevented me from accessing my parts bins:( Good job everyone!
-
Glad everyone liked this one. After we get the prizes doled out we will see about another and maybe let folks add some paint this time.
-
Ditto what Starchaser said... wish I'd come up with more. Glad to have contributed, though. I'm really impressed by the talent and volume of submissions.
