Hi guys, this is my first post here on the yards after Jay (wraith_nine) finally persuaded me to join up & post a few of my customs.
Go easy on me :) LOL
I decided to weather & paint the hair of a Droidbait/CT-327 figure & also slapped a holster on his leg & a warhammer Blood Angels decal on his armour. Here are the results...

I also decided to weather a Clone Wars V-19 Starfighter.

All feedback & constructive criticism welcome. :)
-
that weathering looks amazing, I'd love to hear how you pulled that off.
the decal looks great on the fig. Is it a "wet and stick" or just a plain old sticker decal? I've also seen people use printed paper and white elmers glue to do the same thing, did you do it that way?
here at the shipyards we love to see tutorials and love to see the progression of a custom as much as the final result! Unless you're keeping somekind of craft/trade secret you don't want others to monopolize on please share your techniques!
go ahead and browse around there are alot of great customizers here... oh and vote on the contest thread! lol every vote counts, even from the noobs!
btw, welcom to the shipyards!
-
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.
The weathering was done using a simple inkwash & then a quick drybrush, with a coat of satin varnish just to seal it all in.
The decals were given to me by Jay & they are simple wet & stick decals, again coated in varnish to seal it.
I've been lurking on the forums for a while now, so am familiar with some of the guys' work, top notch stuff here. O0
-
Great job mate!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your customs and, of course, the legendary collection of Sithlord229.
-
Thanks Kurgan.
-
Welcome aboard!
-
sweet steve the v 19 turruint looks awsome welcome to the yards :)
-
That weathering job looks great! I love the clone also.
Welcome to the shipyards and there is no need to lurk. Let your voice be heard.
-
mate welcome to the yards and you know i think the weathering is awesome!
-
Wow. Another great customizer. Looks great SithLord229. I think you definitely have the weathering thing down Pat. I like the job and the sticker on that trooper too.
-
It looked so good, I put your V-19 on the front page, buddy. Great work!
-
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback & for putting me on the front page, its an honour guys!
I have a new custom I'm just adding the finishing touches to as we speak so he will follow shortly.
Once more, thanks folks!
-
Not a problem. Can't wait to see your latest project.
-
Hey sithlord great to see ya in the yards....i know ya from youtube......great job on your customizen
-
Here is a small taste of what to expect from my latest project, will get around to taking some more snaps tomorrow as lighting isn't so great at the minute as it is almost 1am here in the UK.

-
Oh yeah..........My mouth is watering. I do so love them custom clones!
-
I'm a huge fan of Jay's work, so, to see his apprentice posting work on this level is definitely a thrill.
You've been learning from one of the best, and it shows. Your paint skills are fantastic!
I love to see fine work, and your work more than qualifies.
Anyone that Jay befriends has to be an excellent bloke. A blind person can tell that you've got the skills to pay the bills. I really like what you've done.
I, personally, would love to emulate Jay's style, but I will never be on that level, but you, mate, are on course to create some marvelous customs.
Thanks for coming to the Yards, and sharing your beautiful work.
Cheers,
Barry
-
Hello Sithlord! Glad to see you in the shipyards, I'm subscribed to your youtube channel and love your reviews! Great looking customs, can't wait to see more! I'm especially liking that V-19 Torrent weathering job... I always thought that ship looked way too clean for Star Wars!

Thanks r1bb1t, that kind of praise is more than appreciated. I don't have much confidence when it comes to painting as my hand tends to shake like a sh*tting dog & I have made no end of mistakes, so to get praise from you guys is such a confidence booster!
Thankyou!
-
Here are some snaps of my latest project, an as yet unnamed clone commander. Hope you guys like him.

awesome mate !!! if hasbro wont do weathering do it your self (our own is always better anyway) :) the back pack is from a galactic marine isn't it?
-
you too mate i joined last night after visiting endless times i thought it time to join
-
Here is a spur of the moment custom, ages ago I hollowed out the helmet that came with the TCW Wave 1 Obi-Wan & put it on a Wave 1 clone trooper.
He's been sitting on my shelf for a while so since I've been bitten by the customs bug, here he is all painted up.

-
steve that clone trooper is superb! i am so proud of you mate everyone has this ability (even you r1bb1t ..lol) all it takes is practice and a little bit of belief in yourself ..above all dont be afraid to make mistakes as most can be rectified . well done steve mate your well and trully on the path :)
-
Yeah, mistakes with the painting can be easilly fixed! ... mistakes with the dremel and exacto knife usually draw blood. ;) lol
Man that weathering technique is amazing. I'm definately going to have to copy that in my clones from now on.
I read somewhere that hasbro won't be doing any dirty weathered figs anymore because of a large cost at the factory level preventing them from doing it... that's Bull if you ask me. Hell they've raised the price point on the figs enough you'd think they could afford it, not to mention they are cutting corners everywhere with articulation to save on tooling costs too... blah...
anyways, as for the shaking hands I can relate to ya there. I shake horribly as well, I probably will have carpal tunnel sendrom at 30! I've been meaning to try the tape and paint method and use a guide to get better strait lines, it's just most of the time what I'm painting isn't a strait line!
-
believe it or not (and steve can vouch for this ) i have a very shaky hand!
-
I don't believe that.
-
I don't believe that.
He does Kurgan, I have witnessed it myself, both via webcam & in the flesh. lol, wouldn't think it though to look at some of your outcomes Jay. I still find it hard to believe lol.
Spudafett, I use the tape & paint method too, it gives me a lot more confidence to paint straight lines, just have to be careful the paint doesn't bleed underneath the tape.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. :)
Here is a group shot of all my recent customs, enjoy!

Very nice trio of clones,
-
Awesome job!!! welcome to the yard man!! Hope you settle in and love it here as much as I have.
-
That weathering effect is just perfect. Ah, you custom guys sure do make me envy you sometimes.
-
Thanks Tamer!
Here is something I've just finished work on, a custom weapon for one of the Clones.

dang all these super awesome custom weopons are great! there's been alot of weopons customizing being posted lately. Thank hasbro for those pack in crates of guns!
-
Nice gun, Sithlord!
-
great job steve!!! looks awesome mate
-
These clone customs and the fighter make a fantastic set, really gorgeous paint effects on the fighter as well.
Jules
-
Thanks guys! Much appreciated.
Have just completed a ROTS Clone custom so will post images of him soon too.
-
A few snaps of my latest custom... Enjoy!

Hope you like him.
-
impressive.......most impressive
-
very very cool...
theres only one thing. The helmets are suposed to already have com devices built in. I would leave the wire on there but cut off the microphone part, I just personally think it's not needed.
but it's still awesome as hell

Thanks Spud, I was aware of the built-in comm devices but this was one of the only things I had knocking around in my box of custom fodder.
Thanks for the feedback!
-
Great work Steve, I can't wait to see what comes next from the mind of a sith lord
-
Thanks Lee! Glad you like them!
-
Killer! I'm loving them all!
-
Love the customs and love the sig pic too. You make some killer graphics as well I can see. Wriathnine I like your new avatar too.
-

Thanks Tamer, I'm a Graphic Design student so that's where that skill comes from.
I also designed Jays avatar for him too.
Thanks for the kind words bud!
-
Yes! Another killer clone! I love it!
-
awesome clones.
love the weathering.
and the avatars and banners.
real top notch stuff.
-
All of these clones look gorgeous, and it's quite easy to see Jay's influence.
The clones are awesome, but have you ever considered emulating his gift for astromechs?
Just because I have every single droid he's ever done tattooed on my body, I don't consider myself a super fan of his work, just someone who admires his talent.
Anyway, I'd love to see what you could do with droids.
Keep up the great work.
r1bb1t
-
Thanks r1bb1t,
I have just tried a droid custom but failed epically at it.
I used an old droid that Jay gave me when I went to visit him, I gave it a black base coat... which looked OK until I started painting the head.
I also find the panels extremely tricky to paint, so I think I will be sticking with my simple Clone Customs, although thank you for the kind words!
-
SL,
Customs: Most Excellent
Avtar: Most Excellent
Having design and artistic skills means that you are definately "one to watch".
Love what you've done so far.
Jules
-
Thanks for the kind words Jules.
Hopefully will have some more customs on the way but have run out of fodder at the moment.
Cheers for the encouragement.

I received 2 Clone customs today from my mate Jon, who goes by the name tintond on YouTube.
I commissioned a couple of customs from him & he came back with a Jump Trooper Commander & a Phase II Clone...
He also sent out a Phase I Clone a while back so here he is amongst the newbies
Enjoy!

They are superb...the detailing is kind of Manga style.
-
Very nice, I like the look a little diffrent but still fits the Galaxy we all know 5 stars.
-
excellent mate
-
Those turned out cool. You should ask him to join.
-
Very well done!
I hope you didn't spend all of a four week allowance on these figs.
-
Wow do those look tough. Nice figs I woud have spent my allowance on em!
-
I love the color scheme of those! Simply awesome!
-
Very well done!
I hope you didn't spend all of a four week allowance on these figs.
Hehe, no they weren't quite "commissioned" as I stated earlier, I learnt from Jay that what transpired is known as a "trade commission." I'll be sending Jon some custom fodder in exchange for these figures.
He is going to be doing me a couple more figures, a Republic Commando & a Stormtrooper so will post those when I receive them too.
-
Sounds like a win-win type of trade.
Congratulations, those figures are very nice.
-
Decided to give in last night & sacrifice one of my Droidbait/CT-327 figures in order to make a new custom. Enjoy!

very nice, weathering looks realy good.
I have yet to see a droidbait figure on the shelf anywhere.... :(
-
Very nice paint apps to that droidbait fig.
I don't think you will see one, Devin, as I believe it was actually an echo fig that was ganked from the factory prior to the handprint paint app was applied.the droidbait name was just coined by the eBay seller for these ill-gotten figures.
-
got ya! so it's echo?
-
got ya! so it's echo?
Sort of, although the body is much skinnier & the head is smaller. The helmet is also much more solid & the plastic that the overall figure is made from is much softer than the real Echo.
-
that clone looks awsome steve ;D
-
lovin that custom mate ,see i told ya you had it in ya!
-
At least I thought it was an echo. Steve, I put your droidbait fig on the front page. Nice job buddy.

That image is awesome Jules! Thanks!

hmmmmm.....minty
-
Great work on that figure, Lee! May I ask how you did the weathering.
-
Great work on that figure, Lee! May I ask how you did the weathering.
Hehe, thanks Dan, although its Steve not Lee lol. I understand you must have gotten confused from our flash chat a moment ago. No worries.
The weathering was done by simply grinding a brush, lightly covered in black paint, into the figure & wiping away excess paint to make it look realistic, then covered the weathering in a coat of satin varnish to seal it in.
-
Awesome custom SL..The colours, the weathering, LOVEIT!
-
Nice weathering buddy.
-
great job steve very nice weathering indeed ;D
-
Great job on the weathering steve
-
Good work adding the grime of the battlefield! Nobody likes a clean clone.
-
Hello Sith Lord, nice group of Clones you have here. Good paint work and weathering techniques.
-
Ok, so this is a first time custom technique for me, but Jays shadow TCW Clone trooper inspired me to do my own.
Here is my Custom Shadow Trooper (Clone Wars) covered from head to toe in chaos black & codex grey...
Enjoy!
(http://i34.tinypic.com/4rubkn.jpg)
I will be changing the colour of the visor to red tomorrow as bolt gun metal was all I had to work with tonight.
-
excellent work steve ,you should be justly proud!
-
looking good, I think that visor color would be perfect on a mando helmet visor.
-
Awesome figure, Steve!
-
That looks great. Nice work.
-
I'm liking it! Simple, elegant, great use of colors and design!
-
i do believe that is the first animated shadow trooper I've seen.
Very nice! I like the colors, can't wait to see the red visor
-
I'll be honest, I'm really liking the silver visor to it!
-
Love the shadow treatment on the animated clone. I also like the chrome visor...we know the red visor will also look good as that has been done before. Great job my friend.
-
Nice clean lines, I love it!
-
Great work on the paint, Steve. The shadow trooper treatment looks awesome animated.
Really nice job. All of the lines and color match ups look fantastic.
-
makes me want to get my commando droid back out and give him the shadow treatment like I've been wanting to....
-
i do believe that is the first animated shadow trooper I've seen.
Very nice! I like the colors, can't wait to see the red visor
"ahem" "dropshot" shadow trooper i FP'ed with him about 2 months ago spud....
-
Wow, that shadow trooper from the clone wars looks great! I have the hasbro legacy version (in the episode III armor), and yours looks every bit as professionally done! Great job!
-
that's a sweet looking CW shadow Clone trooper Steve, well done mate i really like the bolt gun metal visor you should keep it like it. :D
-
Oh wow...that really stands out! Your lines and paintwork is so precise, it almost defy's belief.
Simple, yet effective custom.
-
Wow, does that paint job look slick! I am thinking that silver vizor rocks too! front page bound on this one!
-
Wow, does that paint job look slick! I am thinking that silver vizor rocks too! front page bound on this one!
Thanks Tamer,
its a good thing you FP'd him before I added the red visor, as I made a right royal F' up with it.
I will try & fix it a later date, but I don't have the energy or patience to sit & paint it again right now lol.
-
looks sweet mate! can't wait to see what you come up with next. vadsab

Hey jediwolf69,
Welcome to the shipyards!

Welcome to the Shipyards, jediwolf69 .

Heres a couple of customs I recently completed.
The 1st is an ARF Trooper, based on the Trooper seen in the Republic Heroes video game.
The 2nd is a repaint of an old Commander Cody I painted in Codex Grey, this time around I've gone over the grey in Red Gore, given him holsters & a shoulder pauldron. I also swapped out his head for a Clone Trooper Boil head that I had spare.
Enjoy!

(http://i35.tinypic.com/2m30fb9.jpg) (http://i36.tinypic.com/2wdulph.jpg)
Thanks to a little help from Jay, I have also named these Troopers.
The ARF Trooper is Sgt. Sketch of the 121st Recon Scouts & the red coloured Clone is Lt. Nedal of the 44th Airbourne Assault Corps.
-
awesome my young apprentice
-
Those are some sweet looking clones my man! Man, that Arf trooper sure looks good with some color on him.
Good job!
-
Most excellent, indeed.
Spare Boil heads?
I havent even seen one unless you count the 30 or so I bid and lost on ebay.
And now I see where at least 1 went.
-
Very nice looking Clone indeed! Love the Arf Trooper. I also have never seen Boil...
-
great looking couple of clones bud. That arf trooper is great. I might have to go rent that game when it becomes available.
the only thing I see is the small red square above the groin of the one on the right is just a tiny bit sloppy... but... I realy have no room to talk, did you see the last custom I put up!?! Gah! it's a tradgedy! These, these are pieces of artwork to be proud of.
-
Cool arf trooper
-
sweet Job Steve!! even thou i don't much like CW clones as you know but i truly enjoy looking at Jays and yours customs of them. they help me
with idea's for my ROTS clones, only problem is i find it very hard to break up my clean ROTS clones to custom, im a squad man if i paint 1 i would want to do at least 8 to make them look like a nice squad.
-
awsome customs mate the clone of republic heroes is awsome his names boomer i hope they release him in figure hes gt a awsome hair style fett lvva
-
Hello anotherJay. Welcome to the shipyards!
-
Steve, you made the front page again, buddy.

Steve, you made the front page again, buddy.

Greatly appreciated dude.

After a few words of encouragement from Jules, I decided to knock up a quick "Hangarbay'd" influenced image.
As I said in a previous post, my skills with photoshop are more centred around Corporate identity & logos, image manipulation, while in some areas I am good at it, tends to be a weakness of mine, especially when it comes to incorporating 2 photos into 1.
If you could leave me some feedback & tips on how to improve on this Jules, that would be most appreciated.

I'm quite envious at your ability to paint straight lines enough to make flawless looking stripes on the armor for those guys, seriously, they look fantastic.
truly all your work is great!

(http://i33.tinypic.com/ayklrt.jpg)
great start buddy. I find that when blending two photos together making them look grainy and out of focus helps make the two immages blur together. The end result isn't very crisp and not at all fancy but it makes the immage more believable as one piece instead of two splices.
for instance with your immage I would apply a gaussian blur or sharpen mask... to break up the edges of the figure and the background.
I'd also leave out the feet of the figure so that the eye doesn't have a reference to where the figure starts and the background immage starts. Think of it as a bust up portrait with a static background, you don't show the fake floor in the photo.
hope that helps, that's just some of the tricks I use... I have no idea if they are what I should do or what is deemed professional... but over the years working with offbrand photo software this is what I have found to be usefull.
-
Haha, I like your tactic of "blur everything together" :D I wouldn't blur stuff, because I think it's more annoying to look at than a slightly mis-matched picture, but that's just me. I like spudd's idea of cutting off above the feet, it does cancel out some perspective problems, but if you want to leave them in, just flip the shadow to the other side since the sun is above his right shoulder. (Try to imagine a line coming from the sun, hitting the clone, and passing through him, and the shadow should be parallel to that)
Also, if you can, re-taking the picture with the lighting coming from behind would give a good effect, just have the main light source in about the same place as your sun and have a reflection source (like a piece of paper that bounces the main light onto his front) on the opposite side. Or, of you don't want to re-take the picture, you could always just take out the sun and swing the shadow around behind him, moving off to his right (hopefully that makes sense).
A way you can make it look less like the trooper is photoshopped in is to take a blurry-edged brush (with a really small blur radius) and go around him so it takes just a bit of the crisp edge off, but don't overdo it... you just want to make him look less pasted in there, not really noticeably blurry.
-
The Arf trooper is amazing man looks really good.
-
wow great looking clone dude nice work on them LT.Nedal realy nice 5 stars all around .
-
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I am officially dry out of clone fodder now
-
Hi guys, just a quick fire custom from me this time round.
My old TCW Count Dooku had an accident the other day which involved his leg snapping off, so I have replaced him with the newer repack version.
This time around, I've added the ROTS cape to him which helps him stand better & look better at the same time.
I know its not much but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Sithlord,
Awesome customs as always...
I've just caught up with your image, thanks for asking for some advice...
If I were to be truthful, you can do much better, you have all of the photoshop skills, you just need to apply then to the image or images.
The image is a work of art, you need to treat it as such. Start thinking about the shadows more, the light source is above and to the right of the figure, yet the figure shows light coming from the opposite side. The guy is in a desert, yet he has a blue, cold tone.
I use tools like colour balance, gaussian blur, I lasso part of the image (using feather) and add or take away light (using Brightness/Contrast) and I use the Spotlight in Lighting Effects to add light source.
I would really love to see more people presenting their customs as works of art, and you SithLord are better then me when it comes to graphics, you should be awesome at this too.
-
Nice he looks better than the original, so just what kind of accident did he have vadsab
-
I like that cape on him.
-
Nice he looks better than the original, so just what kind of accident did he have vadsab
Thanks Lee.
He fell of my shelf (which is directly above my bed). I woke up the next morning laying on him minus a leg, I must have crushed him in my sleep & snapped his leg off.
-
Ouch! What a way to go.

Picked up a 327th Star Corps Clone trooper today for just £3.99! BARGAIN CUSTOM FODDER!
Enjoy, this is Commander Deviss with removable helmet, waiting for a visor from Jay to complete him.

-
Nice! Great find on the price too, sithlord.
-
lookin sharp mate!
-
Nice! Great find on the price too, sithlord.
Thanks Clint.
It was part of a half price toy sale at my local Supermarket. I was also able to get my third ARF Trooper & my second Heavy Assault Super Battle Droid for the same price.
-

No no, I cut the visor off the original Deviss to use for a custom Echo I did a while back. I want a Droidbait/Echo visor to use for Deviss as they look better.
Jay says he has visors coming out of his ears so he'll send one on to me.
Thanks for the offer though Trev.
-
Nice! Looking good so far.
-
Very Nice Deviss indeed, great Job Steve looks amazing.
-
Just transformed an old Lt. Thire figure into a new custom Clone, I have an idea for this guy to be part of some kind of Special Ops/Spy unit, so any suggestions are welcome.

Very nice indeed, I like him the color is fantastic has he been given a name yet.

Thanks Lee! :)
I haven't come up for a name or unit yet, as I say I would like him to be some sort of spec ops/spy trooper but I'm hopeless with names & units.
-
Since my last post, this Trooper has decided to grow his hair out ;D
(http://i34.tinypic.com/xnt7pk.jpg)
-
That's a nice looking clone, sithlord. yep, i like the colors also.
-
The clone looks great, and colors are just perfect.
I prefer him without hair, but that is just me.
No real ideas about unit or names....
I am simple and would just call him Spook....

Thanks Dana, Spook is a cool name. I think I'm gonna have to narrow it down to either Spook or Jett, due to his jet black colour scheme.
-
another cool clone sith lord. I like the black coloring and the name Jett.
-
Awesome looking Skinny Steve, jay would be proud, love the interchangeable heads ;D
-
Hmm...thats a tough one they are both great names or get another skinny and have them both Spook and Jett, sounds like a good team to me.
-
awesome clone
-
How about Scar or Shadow. Generic, dark names for a clone, but I'm taking a wack at it.
-
USD, I like the name Scar. Very simple & straight to the point & coincides with the scar he has on his face.
Hmmmm.... Decisions, decisions.
-
SL,
I really love what you've done with Commander Deviss, he'll look great with the additinal stuff.
-
Looks great, and I love the name generation!
-
Sweet man ;D
-
Hey Commander Camo, welcome to the Shipyards!

Since my last post, this Trooper has decided to grow his hair out ;D
(http://i34.tinypic.com/xnt7pk.jpg)
Been meaning to say something about this clone for a while. Love how you made this. I can't quite put my finger on what I love so much, but I just think it looks so cool.
Brilliant work, mate.
-
Me to R1bb1t, I just like the looks of this one. It is now up on the FP!

All of your customs are great Steve.

What do your next custom projects include Steve?

What do your next custom projects include Steve?
Have just completed some custom work on a Legacy Collection Commander Faie.
Nothing major, just a few part swaps. Will post pics soon!
-
Can't wait to see what new custom pics.
-
Looks like a live action version almost. I can imagine there was lots of cursing in the making of it! Always amazing stuff from you and wraithnine.
-
As mentioned prior, here is my latest custom.
Nothing major here, just a simple parts swap & chop job. Had to cut parts of Commander Faie's belt up to accomodate the sachel or whatever its called from Cmdr. Neyo. Enjoy!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2n7i6bd.jpg) (http://i45.tinypic.com/25a7s0l.jpg)
-
Awesome figure! Anything out of the 7th Legion is fine by me.
-
Nice Steve. It might not be much to see but, you did good.
-
I like how the neyo parts look on this fig. Nice job.
-
i made that same custom once but i cut of the sash and poldren becas the other faie belt was way to losse
-
I love your customs.
-
Wow. That custom figure looks great. The simplicity of what you've done really makes that figure stand out. Well done!!
-
Nice job, Steve.
Sometimes the simplest customs are the most effective.
Hasbro does that all the time to make new stock figures, don't they?
-
That clone looks cool.Cool idea with the neyo parts
-
That's very cool buddy.
-
Great looking figures can't wait to see more.
Ron
-
you make excellent customs steve
I hope we'll see alot more from you
-
Thanks for all your great comments everyone. Currently out of fodder but I am hoping to begin an Imperial Trooper custom, inspired by the I.M.P.S series soon.
-
Here is an update of a custom I made a few weeks ago, but never got round to posting on the yards.
I simply swapped out the arms of a Denal figure with an ARF Trooper, gave him a Commander Gree bandolier, and hey presto! a 501st ARF Trooper.
Today, I felt like distinguishing him further, so I gave him a Captain Rex kama & gave him a name...
ARF Captain Tysen of the 501st Legion
(http://i50.tinypic.com/s2867n.jpg) (http://i46.tinypic.com/kamp34.jpg)
(http://i48.tinypic.com/29en38h.jpg) (http://i50.tinypic.com/20krdrr.jpg)
Then with the arms I had left from the ARF Trooper, I gave them to the armless Denal & created a standard Clone with a jet pack.
Ahh, the wonders of boil & pop! ;D
-
hmmm extremely minty my friend
-
AWESOME!!!!! I think that's the best arf trooper custom I've seen yet! I love it! and honestly, if I had an extra arf trooper I'd be considering doing one for myself.
-

Yeah, I included it in my post. He is ARF Captain Tysen of the 501st Legion.

Your quite welcome, buddy. Welcome to the front page.
-
hmm strong in the force this one is yosab .great custom sith lord
-
Looks great! Nice work SL229!
-
that's a great figure steve
I'm a big fan of the ARFs, really cool helmet design
-
Good to see you back Steve! NIce looking figure too. I love the blue color added to him and that kama looks great on him too. They should package and distribute this type of figure. It would make an awesome commander. Great work.
-
great custm mate lookin good

Steve, thanks to your post I went out and bought 3 more Denal's and three more ARF troopers and did my first boil and pop party! Now I have an army of white back pack troopers and more 501 ARF's brings my total of ARF Troopers to 15 some white, some with weathering and now 501st blue guys!!! Thanks, this makes my hea ;Dd swim with ideas for 41st elite ARF's for sure.
Jon
-
Damn that is one great looking figure well done indeed.
Ron
-
Really nice custom.I would like to see the clone with a jetpack.
-
Heres a couple of customs I recently completed.
The 1st is an ARF Trooper, based on the Trooper seen in the Republic Heroes video game.
The 2nd is a repaint of an old Commander Cody I painted in Codex Grey, this time around I've gone over the grey in Red Gore, given him holsters & a shoulder pauldron. I also swapped out his head for a Clone Trooper Boil head that I had spare.
Enjoy!

(http://i35.tinypic.com/2m30fb9.jpg) (http://i36.tinypic.com/2wdulph.jpg)
Thanks to a little help from Jay, I have also named these Troopers.
The ARF Trooper is Sgt. Sketch of the 121st Recon Scouts & the red coloured Clone is Lt. Nedal of the 44th Airbourne Assault Corps.
Sweet/ i like the ARF trooper. his name is Boomer
-
wicked customs steve there brilliant O0
-
Hey Droidbait, Welcome to the Shipyards!
-
All I can say abou them is OMG lol!!!!!! ;)
-
Nic customs Steve!
-
hey love the customs very coolllllllllllllllllll [poucher likes customs] can your next custom be the legacy collection version of those two customs.
-

No, I don't have any Legacy clones to spare for customs.
-
You make customs look easy...The laest ones are just as polished as all of your other creative work...You have a great talent.
-
Where you been hiding, Steve? We miss your reviews and customs!
-
Where you been hiding, Steve? We miss your reviews and customs!
Haha, sorry mate, haven't done a lot of customs recently, I only have one more left to show.
Haven't been posting any reviews due to YouTube messing me around & not allowing me to upload, hope to have some more posted soon though.
-
Hey guys, just a quick update.
Here are some new customs I have recently finished.
Jet Trooper (Clone Trooper Denal body, ARF Trooper arms & Clone Trooper Boil head)
Standard Clones (Clone Trooper Echo body & Thire & Rex heads.)
I used nail polish remover to get rid of Rex's hair & Echos handprint.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/bhn6z7.jpg) (http://i47.tinypic.com/1268fuc.jpg)
Also, thanks to Jay (Wraith9) for the advice, here is a Senate Commando.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/2n07g3c.jpg) (http://i49.tinypic.com/9uxj7m.jpg)
I still have the stock of the rifle to paint brown, although I don't have any brown paint at the moment.
Hope you guys like them.
-
Very nice, the senate guard is superb.
-
Good job, mate!
-
great job steve, the Senate Commando custom is awesome.
-
Nice customs I stole your jet pack trooper idea a while back when you posted that Blue 501st ARF boil and pop, on Denal. I will post it later, really nice work BUT I HAVE BEEN MISSING YOUR YOU TUBE VIDs!!!!
-
great work steve love the customs very impressive cant wait to see u on you tube again as it has been a long time since we have seen u on there it will be fun to watch your videos again also i do love that senate commando and the plain white clone sw i would love if hasbro would release normal plain clones with removable helmets one day.
-
Very crisp, very clean, very nice!
-
turned out ace mate!
-
sweet customs
-
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Just made a slight modification to the Senate Commandos helmet. Because I used electrical tape for the visor, the helmet was still very flimsy. I just went round the inside of the helmet with a brush & some super glue to harden it & it's worked a treat.
-
Nice fix on that flimsy helmet. Those figures look pristine.
-
Looks great Steve. On the front page. It is nice to see some new customs. I bet you and Jay are gonna do some painting this week!
-
nice job on these guys dude! good variety of standard troopers!
-
Nice Senate Commandos, I would like a hand full of those. very nice
-
Jay (Wraithnine) came to visit me this week & we went to see Star Wars in Concert at the Sheffield Arena, in Sheffield UK. After an absolutely awesome night at the arena & heading out on a toy run, we came back & did some customs. Jay helped me to create this guy, who is known as Commander Fulcrum of the 24th Republic Light Infantry. Jay painted the helmet & pauldron, then varnished & weathered him & I painted the bodywork. We also added a decal to the helmet to give him some flavour.
Enjoy!
(http://i43.tinypic.com/2vs0ro8.jpg) (http://i41.tinypic.com/119rsj5.jpg)
Also, Jay knew how much I envied his Camo ARF Trooper customs, so while he was here, he created one for me. If you're reading mate, thanks a million! :)

Hey, Steve, you wanna enter some of your CW clones in my contest in the contest section? bbfet

SithLord229,
Great customs mate. I love the Camo Clone. The red one is cool also. I like the Helmet on him and the sticker makes it that much better.
Did you watch Wraith (Jay) do the Camo Clone? I would of liked to see how he makes the lines some are straight some T's and some X's etc. Makes it look great.
Darth Creatine (Jon)
PS: Star Wars in Concert is coming here also on May 16th. I got tickets to the show for me and the Wifey. We get to meet Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) before the show and such. 2 hour prop/museum tour before the doors open for everyone else. Will be a great day for me. Wifey just came to help me since I need the help due to my Disability's/Problems.

Thanks DC for your kind words, they are much appreciated.
Yeah, I did watch Jay make the Camo clone, we made a 3 part tutorial on how to make one & I was the Camera man LOL.
I hope you enjoy SW in Concert, getting to meet Golden Rod himself & getting your own tour of the props will be a great experience for you! Have fun.
And a belated welcome to the Yards also :)
-
awesome commander mate! and i'm hoping there will be more of the 24th soon! also welcome to the yards darth cratine!
-
Picked up a second Commander Bly as part of a BOGOF offer today, so I made a 327th Trooper for him. Hoping to pick up another one soon to make another trooper.
(http://i44.tinypic.com/e0so7c.jpg) (http://i42.tinypic.com/oz6ok.jpg)
Also, on the subject of Bly, using the head I had left over from my second Bly, I removed his cheek markings & added his head to my custom Commander Fulcrum to give him a more unique head.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/fuxkr9.jpg) (http://i39.tinypic.com/mtqujs.jpg)
I've also updated a couple of older customs with some new heads & revised weathering job.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2zix5oo.jpg) (http://i43.tinypic.com/2dbw3e1.jpg)
Hope you guys like them.

no... lol i have to leave something for you guys to collect, thou i do admit they have grown on me but my passion is ROTS clones
and it does sadden me that i cant do this kind of thing to make my clones look like individuals i could do so many but "thems is the breaks" as they say lol
but then again i would never be able to come up with over 1000 cool names for each one of them , let alone remember them... pmsl
-
there just too awesome for words steve wicked cool even
-
those are amazing steve! can't stop looking at them!
-
very cool, that 327th looks great as well as the new head on fulcrum
-
coooool customs :)
-
nice clones steve!
-
nice clones steve!
Thanks Guys! Glad you all like these new updates. When I eventually get round to doing a second 327th Clone, I'll be leaving the pauldron off & leaving the chest stripe in tact, to add a bit of variation to my ranks.
I also have a custom trooper on the way from Jay (Wraith9) who will no doubt post pics of his creation here on the Yards.
-
SL Nice custom i really like it can't wait to see that second 327th Clone trooper yosab
-
wow great customs steve thanks for telling jedimaster351 on youtube or I wouldn't have gotten to see these great customs [at pt
-
Steve, those figures look great. Very nice photography as well.
-
very cool, that 327th looks great as well as the new head on fulcrum
Steve,
My buddy CloneMedic above said it for me. All I want to add is Fulcrum looks sweet and the Camo ARF that you and Jay have both done now looks fantastic also.
Also the new weathering looks great Mate!
Darth Creatine
-
mate once again you prove you ARE an excellent star wars customiser isnt doesn't take painting skills (altho you most certainly DO have them) all it takes is patience ,vision and above all imagination.
-
TWO BLYS?! :o I CAN'T SEEM TO FING ONE!!! lol Great job Steve! Falcrum looks great!
-
Had the ultimate experience of inconvenience today. Went into my local store to get another Bly using the BOGOF offer, they also had a Matchstick which would have been great for customs too, but sods law dictated that the BOGOF offer had stopped... Bloody typical. I don't know now when I will get chance to do a second 327th Trooper, as I don't really like paying full price for custom fodder.

Darth Creatine
BOGOF means Buy one Get one free. I didn't want to pay the full price of a figure when I will only be using it for customs, so the buy one get one free offer is perfect for picking up fodder.
Jay, that Commander is the bee's knees. Really impressed, can't wait to add him to "customs corner".
-
very cool custom W9, SL is one lucky guy
-
I was itching to see it ever since we were talking about it yesterday and you didn't disappoint! Steve is one lucky guy!
-
W9,
Very cool custom indeed.
Dang I never heard of BOGOF!!!!
What is that about. Man where have I been all this BOGOF time....Geesh I could have gotten hundreds of free figures!!!!!!!!!!
Darth Creatine
-
Very nice work again Jay! I like the head choice. Did you have to sand it down to get the bucket on?
-
cool work jay!!, really nice custom!
-
another awesome CW clone commander from the master of CW clone customs, the decals give them an extra bit a character to their armor
paint apps as always are very clean buddy...
-
awesome Jay, really awesome
the skull on the shoulder looks great
-
Finally gave in & bought a 3rd Bly today to use as my 2nd 327th Clone, so here is...
(I'm working on a couple of deals to try & acquire a Rys Backpack but for these photos I used the one I already have, until I score a second backpack, this new trooper has Jek's bandolier on.)

How many customs do you have now?

this is amazing. great job

Buy One Get One Free =BOGOF
Wraith . . . I quoted this one instead of the one with the photos so they wouldn't be duplicated . . . . but just wanted to say Hats off on that, man. Very nice work with the decals. You capture the idea of making each clone unique, despite being clones. Very cool!!!!!!!! One question . . .. . how do you get all the photos to flow together like that? It almost looks like you posted it as one pic which contained all the photos pasted together (?) Thanks for any advice, and again I might be your biggest fan here at the yards . . . .but I am sure you get that all the time.
-
nice clones

For these photos I just used some accessories I already had until I get spares, so think of these photos as mock ups if you will.
Mock ups? ??? I think they look just dandy fine as they are. Once you get the spare parts, please DON'T CHANGE A THING. ;D
No, thats what I mean by mock ups. I used the parts I already have to create a representation of what the figure will look like when I have the duplicate parts, the way you see them in the photos is how they will look when my spare parts arrive.

Steve, I just went through your whole thread and I love it. I think the 501st ARF is great and the 327th Squad. I notice you're not posting in here very much lately. Did you run out of fodder or life just getting too busy?

Both mate.

Life does that to us all sometimes. We all sure would love to see some new work from the Sith Lord though!

Afraid nothing new is on the horizon Shawn.

Dude, when I got to your age (I'm showing my age now) I was going clubbing and partying all of the time.... come to think of it, I didn't stop until I reached about 28...my love of Sci-fi etc was shelved for many years.
Hopefully you won't be away for years and years, but now is the time when you need to be out there, having fun in the real world, getting life experiences. You only live once my friend!!!
Its nice to know that you still pop your head round the door from time to time though!

I agree with Jules 100%. I was partying with my friends, joined the military for 4 years, and then started a family. Wasn't until about two years ago that I started to get back into Star Wars at age 30. The last Star Wars figure I bought before two years ago was probably in 1984 or 85.

My love of Sci-Fi hasn't been shelved, Jules trust me! LOL! I'm still spending gazillion quid on Star Wars & still enjoying my time away from it too!
I'm still in the thick of things over on YouTube, got a ton of stuff planned for 2011 over there, just nothing new custom wise. I guess the fire for that area of collecting has fizzled out at my end. Nice to hear from you mate!

Merry Christmas!
