Thanks guys. The sith lord figure is really basic and easy to do. He is just a G.I.Joe rise of cobra Cobra Commander.
remove the clear mask
gave him a ninja mask from one of the comic packs that has Storm Shadow and Tunnel Rat
painted the inside of his coat black
gave him a red lightsaber

Thats it. I recommend filling in the hole in his forehead after you remove the original clear mask.

@ Darthxux
I use acrylic paint. sometimes I take a figure or two with me to the arts and crafts store to make sure the paint matches up correctly.
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on May 23, 2010, 03:57:47 PM
Wraithnine has some good videos on youtube.com that show some good techniques. his youtube name is rasputin37. Jay if you're reading this I hope I spelled that right!?

@ Darthxux
I forgot to add I also give one coat of matte clear coat after I'm finished. it comes in a spray can. there are flat or matte clear coat paints too, but I use the spray can. it's fast and easy. just do it outside because the fumes are toxic!!!
Title: Re: Custom figures

Post by: CloneSniper78 on July 08, 2010, 03:44:39 PM
Here are some new Republic Commandos I just made. Yes the Clone Wars trooper has a removeable helmet. I hollowed it out with a dremel. The backpack on the other trooper is an accessory that Clint threw in when I ordered the RC heads. I just super glued it to the antenna that comes with the ROTS clones.
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on July 08, 2010, 03:47:06 PM
I forgot to say the shoulder armor is from the TCW Mace Windu and the chest plate is from an AT-RT driver.

Hey, that piece looks good as a backpack on that figure. Nice job using the atrt piece on that one. I always did like that piece and think that it serves well to beef up those clone wars figures.
Looking good.

Sorry Jay, I just went ahead and did it myself. Here are Hevy and Sergeant O'Niner  from the episode "Rookies"
I used medium grey for Hevy's tattoo, and medium grey mixed with silver for Sarge's grey hair. Hope you guys like it.

Here is a Jetpack Rex or ARC trooper w/Jetpack either one. I used a Denal and Rex to make him and he has a regular ARC trooper helmet and rifle. I had to drill a hole in Rex's pauldron so the jetpack could go through in the back. The last thing I did was paint his knee armor. I used a mixture of royal blue and cobalt blue. Oh one more thing, this guy will be going up for sale on e-bay today.

Title: Re: Custom figures

He is a Sgt. Forge  from the Halo action figure line. He's about 5 inches tall, but the RC head still looks to scale on him.

Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on September 15, 2010, 12:26:50 AM
Yeah it's a vinyl decal. I had to special order it from a guy on ebay. I told him I wanted 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch. The guys ebay shop is called Louisville Vinyl & Graphics. The shield is from the Captain America figure that is on the shelves right now. I got him at Target for 6.99.

Here is another custom I just finished today. Now he's suppose to be a Halo guy, but as you can see I used a Republic Commando for the body. The head is from Duke from G.I.Joe ROC and the helmet is also from the Joes. It is the accelerator suit helmet. Hope you guys like it, comments are appreciated, thanks.

Title: RC WIP
Post by: CloneSniper78 on September 22, 2010, 03:30:45 AM
Hey Shipyarders, I want you guys to give me some input just for fun. As you can see I'm making some RC's and I thought it would be fun if you guys participated. Now the RC that is already painted white is going to stay that way (he is still not finished yet) but the other one I want you guys to throw in your two cents, and if everyone can come to at least some kind of consensus about how you want him painted then that is what I'll do.  I am planning to sell these guys so keep the color schemes reasonable. Be specific in the names of the paint and I will do my best to try and find it, if I don't already have it. I hope this gets some interest and I think it will be fun.
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: Luke Sprywalker on September 22, 2010, 03:55:22 AM
Commander Gree is one of my faves so haw about a RC in his ROTS color scheme.
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: darknsour on September 22, 2010, 04:35:55 AM
Gree is a great idea, but how about Cody color scheme like cody went on to become a RC.

Just a thought.


Good luck with this!!


great work by the way!

Fiala,  Would you happen to have a pic of the armor you reference?   I cannot seem to find anything on it and am unfamiliar but very interested. 



Without seeing it, I already know I like Fiala's tastes, go for his suggestion, CS78!!!
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: Mando Commando on September 22, 2010, 11:51:45 AM
Maybe a black and muddy green color, like that of Hemble's Imperial commandos?  Or, maybe a sort of redish color, like WATTOH suggested.  A Coruscant red with a black, or the episode III shock trooper red?  What ever you choose I'm sure it'll be great!

Fiala, you want one just all white right? I was going to make one all white already.

I did some weathering on the white RC last night. And just started the helmet. I still havent decided what to do with the other trooper.

Fiala, you want one just all white right? I was going to make one all white already.

Qiilura wasn't the right example sorry
I mean you could try to make Niner, Darman and Atin in there pre Omega colours but it's hard to find any reference pics.
I only found a pic of Darman in his Theta Squad armour: http://www.jedipedia.de/wiki/index.php/Darman (very similar to the evolutions pack Fi figure in my opinion).

here is another link with some custom  animation: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=167373

and another idea is to make some of the multiplayer RC trooper which you can choose in the Repuplic Commando video game: http://www.jedipedia.de/wiki/index.php/Datei:Republic_commando_multiplayer.jpg (again in german sorry)

Wow Fiala! Thanks for the references. Those RC's are cool. I'm liking the Phoenix. I can give him a custom flamethrower I made a while back. That Darman does look like the Fi evolution but with 501st colors.

This is looking good. Your paint aps are good and I like the weathering but the helmet looks chunky or something. It may be the lighting combined with the weathering on the close up not sure but just wondering. Does it look different in person?

Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on September 27, 2010, 05:21:48 PM
I call him "Quick Draw" . He's a clone who suffered damage to his arms and face during the Clone Wars. Now that the Clone Wars are over he is a bounty hunter. He earned his nickname because his cyborg hands are so fast. He can draw his blasters quicker than anyone. And with his custom helmet with range finder he is deadly from long range too.

This is a WIP. I need your help guys. I'm making this Spartan guy and I need to change his feet. I was thinking sandals but I can't find a figure that has sandals. What do you guys think of the Captain America boots?  The base figure in case you were wondering is the TRU exclusive UFC guy.
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on October 06, 2010, 03:48:31 AM
Alright Darknsour, I made an RC Commander Cody. I hope you like it. I hope all you guys like it. I had to put a rubber band inside the helmet  to get it to fit snug on Cody's little head.
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: Luke Sprywalker on October 06, 2010, 04:59:03 AM
The Spartan is shaping up just great! Those boots will not look right from CA. I would keep those feet, add a small very thin cardboard bottom to them then tie them up with a very thin string. I use hemp for this as it doesn't fray so bad. Otherwise I would get some feet from "monkey man" from the Indiana Jones line as he is wearing sandals. Either way should work well.
Title: Re: Custom figures

CS78, I really am humbled that someone would want to make a character from one of my stories, seeing this figure came as a very pleasant surprise. I love your take on the character, his sideburns are a distinct improvement, the coat is pretty slick too. I also love the datapad!

The other figure is just a straight up G.I. Joe Accelerator suit Duke from the Rise of Cobra line. It's amazing how you can change a figure by just painting it.

Now I'm embarrassed, since I actually OWN one!  But then, I've been buying so much lately and haven't had time to actually LOOK at what I have, I end up buying multiples because I think, "That'll make a great custom!"  ;D

Hey Jay here is another Torrent 501st trooper. He's just a straight up Denal and Rex mix. And the RC is my unfinished TCW Fi Skirata.

I figured since my screen name here is Clone Sniper 78 I should make a Clone Sniper 78 or "CS-78". Here he is in 12" form.

Hey Jay, good catch. I was concentrating on the small gap in the front and didn't think about the length. Either I'll give it a slight trim or just make it battle damaged to shorten it up. I'm always open to constructive criticism, it's one of the best ways to get better.

Well he looks a lot better in my opinion. I would like to see what the first version Veers chestplate (Saga 2 version) looks like on him too. I bet Clonehead would be able to give us a pretty good clue.

Anyhow, looks good. I wondered what this one would look like. At least you were smart enough to give him some Hoth protection. I was hoping by the time this pack came out that they would have given the atst driver some Hoth armor since this is a Hoth pack. Oh well, you know what trying to make sense will get you.

First of all I want to give my proper respect to Darklord1967. If it wasn't for him this Boba would never have been built. I tried to follow some of the ideas he has for his Boba. I took some shortcuts and made this Boba in about 6 hours over the span of two days! I hope you guys like it and I will try to answer any questions you have. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

The thigh pockets were transfered from the Evolution Fett. The arms are mostly the ISC figures. I chopped off his arms just below the elbow and attached the nub from Boba, then just popped on Boba's forearms.

30 TAC Boba for the Head/neck, all armor except crotch. Fett evolution pack Boba for everything else. And of course the Imperial Scanning Crew guy. I also wanted to note that the lower legs were from the Evo. Boba, I just did a boil n pop and put them on the ISC figure, but his feet are from the 30 TAC Boba. I used them because they had better spikes on the front.

I really just think the addition of the soft goods under the front and back chest armor plates is just brilliant and good lord I hope Hasbro sees some of this and does something to suit. I really think one of our first questions for another round of Hasbro Q and A is sending in a pic of this or Darklord's boba and saying what do you think of this and could you do it for people like me (can't paint, can't see small stuff, no artsy talent).  I think it is great. Expect to see this on the fp soon.

Quick question - is the EVO Boba the same as the Vintage Boba?  I haven't gotten around to opening my Vintage Boba yet to compare them.

My son went to bed early tonight so I started working on Fodder Fett. I got him all put together and will paint him tomorrow. Eventhough his pockets are the wrong color he still looks pretty cool the way he is right now, but I will still paint him up. Thanks everyone for all the nice comments.

In the 4th pic at the bottom you will see I used the ISC's holster and some random blaster I had from a Saga Legends weapons pack.

Hey JM, I cut out the armor from the 30 TAC Boba. I used a dremel with a cutting wheel then used the grinder/engraver tool. I also used my razor craft knife sometimes because I didn't want to do slip up with the dremel and ruin something.

It was originally solid black. You can see it next to the Hasbro one. I think I like mine better. ( it's the top one)

Ok here are the two side by side. As you can see the ISC based Boba is a little bit taller and has a slightly wider stance and the 30 TAC helmet looks more film accurate. VC/Evo Boba is cool, but I think this is an improvement. I can't wait to see Darklord's finished Boba.

I liked seeing the pattern you used for the flac vest.  that realy helps!  I've been wanting to try this on one of my figures for a while since seeing darklords boba.  I expect several of us will eventually emulate his work! 

yours looks great!  I'm wondering how this technique might look placed over the new bespin luke figure since it has ball jointed torso and hip joints... might give the end resulting figure more range of motion...  might wind up trying this out on mine.

Something else I was pondering was using velcro on the vest's lower half so that it is removable... or use stretch cord even?

Spuda, I've been thinking the same thing about the vest. If you can find thin velcro it would be sweet. I think stretch cord might work too. Do you think Hobby Lobby or a store like it sells stretch cord? I was also thinking of using the same helmet as Darklord but hollowing it out and using a Jango head on the figure. I just bought all the different Bobas on ebay that Darklord used and I'm gonna make another "better boba" . If he had a removeable vest and helmet and maybe even gauntlets that would be a seriously awesome Boba. And even interchangeable hands (gloves/no gloves). And then maybe finish him off with a poncho that he wears like Jango did but a different color or maybe Boba kept his dad's old poncho and still wears it..... interesting......if you're gonna tackle a project like this let me know how it goes, or just show us what you're doing in you're thread. Good luck and may the force be with you on this one.

I found some better cloth to use for my next Boba custom. The thread has a tighter weave. It also already has glue applied to the back side that sticks if you iron it or get it hot. I'll let you know or show you how it works when I try it. Wish me luck.

Did some experimenting with Bespin Luke today. I found that Jango's head fits his nub perfectly. If I can find an extra Luke I might use this body instead of the Imperial Scanning Crew guy. I put the removeable helmet on him just to get an idea of what he would look like. I will hollow out a more film accurate helmet for the actual custom. I also took a pic of Luke dressed up like Boba. If anyone has a Bespin Luke they could trade me that would be great.

Ok, I've also been thinking of doing a "Better Jango". I might have to look at using a whole different body, but here is the basic makeup trying to use the actual Jango figure. I put Clone in Training lower arms on him and those hands are from TCW Obi-Wan. I was thinking of mixing parts from these two jetpacks to give Jango a bigger rocket. I need to do some more research as to what his jetpack really looks like. Anyways here are the pics.

ARC's are the same across the board, I like the idea of using the Boba head with the head cover for troopers, but you are better off using the Jango head you've got already.  AND all these heads are practically interchangeable!  I've got a squad of clone troopers I'm working on that have Jango head's because of all the head swaps I used for my Clan Skirata set.  Hope this helps some.

I agree. The CW Yoda has a nice poseable body, but his head is weird and his hands are HUGE. I'm gonna give him a lightsaber too, I just didn't put it in the pic.

I found some gauntlets for Jango. They are from the Wraith Mercenary G.I.Joe guy. They are a nice tight fit over the Clone in Training forearms. And the Joe hands fit in the Clone forearms too.
I'll probably remove the huge laser guns on the gauntlets.... what do you guys think?

Alright I fixed up my softgoods vest Boba. I dipped him in boiling water and ripped off all the armor and old vest. Then I took a dremel with a sanding bit and thinned out all the armor. Made a new vest from better cloth and made sleeves and reattached the armor. Then I drilled a hole in his back and got the proper jetpack to fit (Fett Evo).

Tom, I may have to butcher one of my Mando chest pieces to get some of those parts. I love all of the parts that you have assembled and just seeing the pics has my juices flowing. Looks like you have a good assortment of weapons there but I was thinking that he could use a short sward or a dagger, kind of a utility tool/weapon. As far as colors, I was thinking about something that would look good playing off of the colors used for the latest ee comic mandos. Perhaps a couple of different shades of brown for the undercoverings and a complementary color for the armor. a darker green, perhaps. Some cool emblems would round it out nicely. Nothing big if you don't want, just something small on a shoulder plate or on the chest.

Hey Tom

Mate adding the leather is perfect and will work really great and this is already shaping up to an awesome custom.  As for colours I was thinking one these match's

Dull Red - Green
Medium Blue - Grey
Red-Grey

As you know I like Matt Colourswhen doing mando's but glossy colours would work especially for trims etc.

Oh... My... GOD!!!

Tom, this is going to be absolutely un-believeable!!  

I think you have assembled a perfect collection of parts for this Mando.  I cannot WAIT to see where this one goes!!

You have taken some of the goofy techniques that I experimented with on my own custom Boba and absolutely RAN with them.  You have made them your own, and are really perfecting them nicely!  

I think you're going to end up being the "go to" guy when it comes to 3-3/4 inch scaled custom Mandalorians!!  

Congratulations buddy!

PS:  I do indeed have a small amount of the gauntlet tubing left over.  I will send you some!

Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on January 14, 2011, 11:22:37 AM
Ok guys, here is my Mandalorian. First off I have to give a shout out to Mr. Hemble for giving me the inspiration for this custom. Alright now for the Mando. He ended up a little bit more bulky than I had imagined, but I guess that is to be expected when using real leather for the vest. A couple of the cool features I want tell you about on this guy is that his shoulder armor can move around a lot. I put small strands of leather connecting the shoulder plates to the vest so they can move around pretty freely and don't hinder the arm movement at all. Another feature is that I used high powered little magnets to mount the jetpack! I just widened the hole in the back of the Jango armor and glued that one in and I made a hole in the jetpack and super-glued in the other magnet. My only regret is that I didn't put the jetpack magnet just a little bit deeper in there. Just FYI the hardest part of this project for me was hollowing out the Boba gauntlets. I did it so I could have poseable hands, but as it turns out I can barely move the hands because the gauntlets are so tight! And please don't beat up my Bantha Skulls. I know my freehand painting skills look like a kindergardner's. But I think a Mando with a paint brush probably would be a little sloppy...maybe. Anyways, I talk too much so I hope you guys like this Mandalorian Warrior.

Also guys I wish I had remembered this before , for figures at this scale instead of using leather try pleather it's alot more thinner and does the same job as leather.

tom, that spartan is very cool looking! I have always wanted to do a 12 inch custom figure but have never tried before. I do have some fodder accumulated for an attempt if I ever make it. imagine the detail possible in that bigger scale.

I found that doing 1:6 scale is a lot easier than 3-3/4 scale, in general, because everything is a lot bigger.  Plus, getting things like pouches and other accessories are a lot easier than finding similar items in 3-3/4.  At the same time though, you'll see that your work will get far more detailed, and you'll find that mistakes just aren't as easy to cover up.  Also parts hunting takes a whole new level of expense and time.  Can't wait to see what you're going to do man! I love your work!!

There is a little toy store by me that has tons of 1/6 scale stuff, I guess I'm lucky as far as supply goes. Like I said, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

This is a WIP. He's going to eventually look more like the guy on the cover of the Fallout Vegas video game. I'm waiting on a gasmask. I want to add a holster or two and paint him up a little. This custom is inspired by one of  Spudafett's creations.

Yeah that looks great!  I'm not 100% sold on the snake eyes torso underneath the coat, although it works I would have picked something with more substance like one of the armored torsos.  To me the snake eyes torso is very bland... of course in a wasteland setting bland works too! 

I think once you put some holsters on there and do some weathering to bring out the details it will be greatly improved.

That cobra shocktrooper mask is pretty killer.  I've yet to see any of that wave of joes and am very close to ordering them direct from hasbro....

Yeah I debated whether or not to use that torso. I was thinking of using , and might still, the reactive armor torso and transfer over the Snake Eyes arms and legs.
For the shock trooper, he is totally killer. He comes with many accessories. I paid a little extra for him on e-bay, but it was worth it. Oh yeah I forgot to mension he has extra arty hands like the TCW Clone troopers. The newest version of Snake Eyes that comes with an extra head also has the extra arty hands. These two figures are arguably the best Joes that have ever come out. The new Beachhead is sweet too and comes with a ton of accessories. Is it just me or is Zartan begging to become a custom Sithlord?
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: spudafett on February 12, 2011, 06:10:53 AM
super arty hands is a nice thing to hear!  That gets me excited. 

The zartan is also one I realy want for that armor he's got on.  I've got the beachead, that fig is actually the one I used the mask from to make my fallout figure.

Alright guys here is my " Mini Sideshow Captain Rex". I took the 3 3/4" Rex from the ARC trooper pack and cut the top and sides of his back armor that bulges out. Then I peeled it down and dremeled, drilled, and cut a hole inside his back armor to fit one of those little high powered magnets. Then I took a Jango Fett jetpack and cut out the peg and glued in another magnet. Then I painted the jetpack to more resemble the jetpack that comes with the Sideshow 12" Captain Rex. To make him the ultimate 3 3/4" Rex you could give him ARF hips and a softgoods kama, but I didn't want to fool around too much with my only ARC battlepack Rex. Enjoy, comments appreciated.
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on February 17, 2011, 11:24:50 PM

Wow, that magnet idea is great! It mounts so flush you can't even see how it joins and look like it is part of his back.

Expect to see this on the front page soon. If you have any mid construction pics of how you put that magnet inside the torso I would love to see that. Wouldn't it be great if Hasbro just started doing this for backpacks or front chest accesories! That sure would make a great ask Hasbro question if they give us a new schedule.

CloneSniper78 HAS BEEN ADDED TO "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"

32 year old Tom Christensen is a Star Wars and G.I. Joe customizer from Phoenix, Arizona (USA). He is better known as CloneSniper78 on the Imperialshipyards.net website, and as AZMarineSniper on youtube.com. He has been a Star Wars fan since the early 1980's when he was a young boy.

This next custom is a remake of my Fallout Vegas custom. Spudafett gave me some ideas on how to improve him, so I went with it and this is the result. I dry brushed his whole body with desert sand acrylic paint since Las Vegas is in the desert.  8)

Cobra Shock Trooper helmet & gasmask
Beach Head normal comic pack head
Reactive Armor Duke torso
Reactive Armor Heavy Duty arms
Paris Pursuit SE coat & legs
Snake Eyes backpack, I think ROC commando

Thanks CloneHead, the capes are from Darth Vader. The belt is from an Imperial Scanning Crewman.[quote

I got started on my 12 inch custom clone trooper. I transferred all the clone gear over to that Joe diver guy and hollowed out the helmet. Next I need to transfer the armor for the hands and paint the fingers black and probably weather him up a bit.

Also I want to apologize in front of everyone for the way I snapped at Beige4 the first time I talked about doing this figure.

CW Standard clone trooper lower legs
30 TAC Sandtrooper pauldron
CW neck nub swap
CW ARC trooper helmet head
CW larger DC-15 from Senate Commando 2 pack

Here is a Fantasy or LOTR and Star Wars crossover. I turned my CW Sithlord into an Elf Warrior. I modified some Yoda ears from the smaller Yoda head and I glued them to a Captain Argyus head. I just need to paint him up. I'm thinking of chainmail or gunbolt grey on the armor and the ears in flesh and the quiver in brown or leather color.

Thanks Jedi Merc! I'm still tinkering with him. He should be done in about 1 or 2 weeks. The cool thing about that SS is that only his head and weapons are from a SS figure.

Very cool.  I got on a Lord of the Rings trip over the last couple weeks just playing the movies in the background.  One thing, though.  I believe the type of sword you have is being held backwards.  Just a suggestion.  What did you use for the helmet and shield.  Are they casts?
Title: Re: Custom figures
Post by: CloneSniper78 on April 08, 2011, 12:34:55 PM
Yeah I put the sword in his hands both ways and I decided it looked better the way I posted it. I think it is suppose to be held the other way though. The helmet is just a modified Captain Argyus helmet. The shield is a resin cast that I make that is from a Captain America shield.

To get started it's about 60 dollars. IF you can sell your parts then you can actually make some money. Nobody has shown inerest in my parts so I will probably just use them for my own customs.

Hey guys. Some of you probably remember my attempt to make a Boba similar to Darklord1967's. Well I made some improvements to him and entered him in the contest going on at Echo Base News presented by Mercury Art Studios. I hope more of us will enter that competition and show all the other sites that we are pretty darn awesome over here at the "Yards". Anyways, getting back to Boba, I changed some things on him. Here is a list of the changes.

Used a 300th Boba head that I dremeled out and painted the visor glossy black. I also had to paint the dented part and the back section of the helmet a darker green.
I painted his left shoulder yellow
Cut off the small TVC Boba knee armor and added on the 300th Boba knee armor.
Made some Wookie braids out of Barbie hair and tied it off with thin black string.
Added some clear tubing to his right gauntlet.
Added the 300th Boba holster and blaster because the TVC holster got destroyed.

This post wouldn't be complete without a shout-out to Roberto a.k.a. Darklord1967. I can't wait to see his Boba Fett completed. If it wasn't for his inspiration I would have never attempted to make this figure.

I got a couple of projects in my head that I want to do so hopefully it won't take too long before my next post. I'm also waiting on some parts from SlayerDesignStudios for two other projects, so I'm kinda stuck right now.

Tom, this is one of the best CW versions of Jango I have seen done. I love that you used the proper holsters! Did you also glue on saga Jango gauntlets? They look beefed up a bit. Your paint aps are very crispy and the fire on the backpack is a great touch for display. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Tom! Nice to see you got to do the Jango!  He looks awesome. I like how you did the hoses on the guantlets. Are the hoses from the Jango Guantlets or did you use something like Darklord1976 did on his Boba?? Great work again it would be cool to photo yours and mine side to side.

Thank you Jules! Well I used medium grey acrylic paint on the vest. Citadel Mithril Silver on all the armor pieces and helmet. Acrylic Cobalt Blue on the raised parts of the helmet. Acrylic Cobalt Blue mixed with a little black for the sides of the helmet. The rest of the clothing was the Hasbro stock colors. I used the body of the Mandalorian that comes with the speeder. The Jetpack was painted using mustard yellow and royal blue acrylic with Citadel scab red. The helmet was made from a Pre Vizsla w/ a Cap. Rex rangefinder glued on. The belt was from the SL Jango but I cut off the whole back half of it and then thinned out the belt as much as I could from the inside and trimmed it down slightly across the bottom so it would look more natural on the smaller CW style body.

Hey Tom! Nice to see you got to do the Jango!  He looks awesome. I like how you did the hoses on the gauntlets. Are the hoses from the Jango Gauntlets or did you use something like Darklord1976 did on his Boba?? Great work again it would be cool to photo yours and mine side to side.
Thank you Chad. The gauntlet hoses are from the SL Jango figure. I just had to touch them  up with black acrylic paint where Hasbro left them purple.

Here is a figure I got in the mail today from Chad! a.k.a. lucasclones. He is CloneSniper78, or CS0078. He is from a small unit of snipers that call themselves "Devil Dogs". Each member of the unit has a devil painted on his chest and flames painted on various parts of their armor. They sometimes work side by side with ARC's. Eventhough they have their own unit they often get broken up and attached to other units that need sniper support.

I used acrylic paint on the helmet. I did use Citadel chainmail paint for the scratches on the helmet.
On the rifle I used Citadel Snake Bite Leather for the sling and acrylic aluminum for the weathering.

Is it my imagination or is quality of the customs on the forums going up beyond volume 11 or what! Tom I know I've not been actively commenting on your work much lately but I have been keeping an eye on things, and your work is improving all the time. You have your own style as well, and I am increasingly impressed with every new custom you create.

Rise of Cobra - Cobra Commander head
Pursuit of Cobra - Snake Eyes spin-kick torso
25th Ann. G.I.Joe - Cobra B.A.T. arms
POC - Cobra HISS tank driver legs
VC Star Wars - Gen. Grievous feet
torso armor comes from a 25th Ann. Wraith Mercenary
belt is from a Darth Vader

the paint was pretty simple actually. I used flat black acrylic paint with Citadel Chainmail drybrushing.

Haha very nice Luke - I have three variants of the original kenner figure and a fourth figure piloting my One Man Sail Skiff vintage MiniRig! Safe to say he was my favourite figure as a kid!!

My understanding I that Hasbro changed the recent VC Luke to 'Endor Capture' as they are going to release a new Jabba's Palace Jedi Luke either this year or early next! Hopefully this one will come with a cape, saber and palace blaster!!

Great work though - it made me smile :)

Unfortunately Evilbay is the way to go. I talked the guy down to 7 bucks. I think I got lucky. There is a guy on ebay selling a custom Luke cloak for around 4 or 5 bucks though. Here is the link.

You guys are thinking too buff, LOL ! He is made from a Marvel Universe Sabertooth from the comic pack which also includes a Wolverine figure. I swapped out the lower legs with a MU Thor. The lower arms came from some Imperial guy from an older Star Wars figure. The head is from the new CW shirtless Savage Opress. I used the same skirt from that figure but I had to make the belt longer to fit around the bigger figuer, so I just added some real leather to each side. The rest was just paint. I just used mustard yellow and flat black acrylic paint.

Next up is CloneSniper78"s Skraeper. You may recognise him from the Sith Lord contest, he has since lost the saber and gained a new head and helmet to join the group. Look for him to show up in Star Wars Apocalypse in the near future.

At first, I wasn't sure how much I liked the cloth undershirt beneath the armor, but I'm thinking more as though that was an instinctual reaction.  (I'm not too hot on soft goods in general, so please don't take it personally!)  The more I see this fig, though, the more I'm finding I like your idea to incorporate cloth garments underneath the armor....and the hammer still rocks!  I love the pic you posted here: gives a real good frontal view of the armor.

Great job!

I'm not sure about the robe... I bought it from my local toy store called toy anxiety. They had it in a sandwich bag, so I don't know if someone made it or if it is from a Star Wars figure.
@Ghostskull18, I used a Rise of Cobra GI Joe Red Fang Ninja body w/ a 25th Ann. Xamot head. And the lower arms and hands are from a TVC Bespin Luke. I just painted them black. I also repainted his hair darker brown.

After I finished Mace I didn't feel like packing it in for the night. So I started working on my Snow Mando. Obviously he's not done, but I like how he's coming along so far.

is that a scanning crew figures legs?  Where are they from?  it looks good so far.  I like the use of concept fett's arms.  And cutting down the knee pads from jango is a smart idea!  That'd be a great cast resin part (hint hint clint!)

I love the piece-by-piece armor work you've done here; the rebel body you used works really well.  And ain't it the truth that the ARC commander head works oh so well with any kind of Mando/bounty hunter body??  Yes, sir.

Nice job, and the fact that this is still somewhat of a WIP makes me very interested in seeing how this finally comes together once it's all said and done!

Title: Re: Clonesniper78 Custom figures Snow Mando
Post by: CloneSniper78 on March 15, 2012, 11:10:04 PM
Alright I added some soft goods and a pouch on his left hip from a Snowtrooper (sorry Tamer). I also made him a custom rifle from a Renegades Joe Firefly grenade launcher w/ an ARC trooper rifle scope attached. I also added an optic device to his helmet. It's actually the front grip from a Clone Trooper rifle. I guess I can call him done now. Might post some more pics later. Enjoy!!

I love both versions, but the non-helmeted one looks killer to me!  This is a great-looking figure; the helmet scope adds a very nice level of detail to differentiate this one from the typical Mando.

Here is my version of Galen Marek/Starkiller. He's not exactly accurate to the game, but he's pretty darn close. This is probably the most fun I've had making a custom figure. All I need to do is get that head on there. By the way.... what do you guys think of the Naboo Pilot head ??
Title: Re: Clonesniper78 Custom figures Galen Marek/Starkiller WIP
Post by: Jedi Minstrel on April 06, 2012, 09:48:12 AM
Looks great!  If you can rework the head, the hair especially, then I think you have a winner.  You already do!  I've never done that kind of mod but have been meaning to try my hand with different sculpting material/brands.   Can't wait to see him completed.

Wow... I don't know what to say... I was proud of this figure when I finished him, but I didn't think he was that great. I'm glad you guys like him and hopefully I can inspire others to make customs. HB94 and Wraithnine were my inspiration for getting into this craziness. I can't thank them enough.

Alright sorry I've been out of it for a while, but my wife and I just had a baby so I haven't been able to customise very much. I decided to do something quick and easy but very important to me. I love Luke Skywalker, but I am not satisfied with the Ep. IV versions of him. So I took my VOTC farmboy Luke and gave him the Resurgence of the Jedi Luke head. I just dremmeled it out a little, and by little I mean very carefully, just a little at a time so I didn't ruin the head. I think this head and body combo is pretty darn film accurate or at least a lot better than what Hasbro has given us so far. Hope you guys like it. In the pics Luke is playing with daddy's lightsaber for the first time.

Tom, it is great to hear from you! I hope the little one and Mom are doing well. You too for that matter! That is a great looking Luke! Glad you had a bit of time for yourself and i know how overwhelming a new child can be. That head has been used a lot for ANH custom Lukes and it looks good. My favorite Luke head before that was the Chasm Swing 2 pack that came with him and Leia. It is crazy how many Luke sculpts there are and only a few look right.

Hey guys I had time to crank out another custom. If you couldn't tell it's Jedi Bruce Lee in 1/6 scale. This is one that took a long time to acquire the parts for and they were expensive too! I used an Enterbay Bruce Lee head with a Hot Toys 1970's Casual Bruce Lee body. The hands are from an Assassins Creed character from Hot Toys. The outfit is from a Hasbro Jedi Luke except for the belt is from a SideShow Luke. The boots were just something I picked up on Ebay. The lightsaber is of course a Mace Windu one from SideShow. Sorry for the crappy pics, I'll try to get better ones in the future. Hope you guys like him.

Now this is the kind of announcement I wanted from Hasbro at Toy Fair. Why not combine some of the awesome Joe parts, already tooled and made, and plug em into some SW Sculpts.

I think that would get some happy Hasbro Collectors. Off to the front page.

Yes totally cool work. I echo the question...which Joe character legs did you use for this upgrade? Also, do you have any pictures of how you made it work? How did you plug those legs into Savage's torso?

Again, well done. I agree with Tamer. This is the kind of stuff I would have loved to see from Hasbro.

e
His legs are from the ROC Mole Pod driver (Cobra). I cut the Joe figure lower torso off just barely above the belt line. Then I glued on the lower torso peg from the Savage figure. I used hot glue, but I guess you could use super glue as well. Then I just added the skirt and belt and then popped on the Savage torso and that's it. I gave him a charcoal wash too.

Head: VC Bespin Luke w/his neck nub swapped
Torso: Rise of Cobra ROC General Hawk w/said neck nub swap from VC Luke. Also sanded down his belt so it would be flat instead of modern military looking.
Arms: Comic pack Luke that comes with Lumiya. Had to modify the inner pegs so they would fit into the torso. Used a dremel with a sander attachment.

I'm planning on doing a cloth vest like I have done in the past. Just not sure if I'm going to use 30tac or Bespin battle armor. I'm going to attempt to use those Bespin gauntlets too.

Post by: CloneSniper78 on July 25, 2013, 09:55:55 PM
Tonight was a success, I was able to get the Bespin Battle Pack Boba gauntlets onto the Vintage Collection Boba arms.( and yes they swivel) I also was able to drill and dremel my way to getting some Retaliation Storm Shadow hands on him too. If you couldn't tell I hollowed out the helmet and it fits over that Joe Sci-fi head. The gloves have a circle on the back of them, so I will paint them brown and white to match one of the concept Boba gloves.

Alright guys, I got some more done on Boba. I took a VC Boba belt and hollowed/thinned it out as much as I could. Had to take the Joe legs off and squeeze that belt on. It fits so snug I don't need to glue it on. Found a crotch armor resin piece I had laying around so I stuck that under the front of the belt, just need to paint it later. Also as you can probably tell I used Aves fixit around the shin and thigh pockets because there were huge gaps in between the pockets and the legs. In the second pic you can see I cut out a VC Boba holster and slid it under the back of the belt.

Alright, after about 4 hours of more drilling and dremel work I got Boba's armor almost ready. Still need a little clean up around the edges. As you can see in the pics I managed to salvage the neck area of the Bespin Battle Pack Boba. I drilled a hole in it so the Joe neck goes right through it, as well as a hole in the back plate so the side cape can be attached. I am going to make a cloth vest that goes under the armor pieces. I think I might leave the chest plate in tact... not sure yet. I also did more dremel work on the knees and wrists to prevent paint rub later. In case you couldn't tell the collar and back plate are still connected to each other. I also grinded off the VC Boba's shoulder armor and got the Bespin BP Boba shoulder armor ready.

Well I might try and check my local Maxx then soon. I just looked him up on evilbay and he is selling for 20 bucks for a five poa pos no way! I would still need the belt for him too. Maybe Maxx will come through for me.

Alright guys got a little more done on ol' Boba today. I sanded his armor plates down a little thinner and make him a cloth vest. I still don't know how Darklord1967 got his vest to be so perfect. I guess I just need to do it a few more times. Anyway, I'm still glad about what I was able to accomplish. I just need to get him some Wookie braids and a power cord for his right gauntlet and paint him up a bit.

When you put the helmet on the head does it deform the helmet in any way? That is something that always bothered me about the hasbro legacy/evo/vintage Boba. From your pics it looks good but pics don't always capture these small things. Lookin great man!

Alright guys, I pretty much have Boba done now. I went to thedentedhelmet.com and tried to copy some of the scratches in the helmet and jetpack. I made his Wookie braids out of twine that I also painted. Still need to fix some paint rub issues behind the knees. I am just waiting on his gauntlet power cord in the mail. Once I get that on he'll be done. Hope you guys enjoyed this build so far. Here are some pics.

Alright dudes, here  is my current project. Marcus Luttrell from the book and movie "Lone Survivor". He's holding a sat. phone and an M4. I'm going to try and make a Mk12 special purpose rifle. This is just the initial build to get his basic look down. I still need to add some pouches to his vest and a knife. Obviously he needs some paint too.

I like the contrast on the armor between the dark and light colors. You would think it would clash, but it really gives it a good effect. Off to the front page. Thanks for the better pics.

By the way post your ebay link when you post this and I will add it to the news story. I want to try and help folks out with all their eBay auctions of their custom figures. I feel the custom guys just don't get enough dollars for their artwork.

Great customs! So I haven't bought any of the New Joe figures, but are their arms seriously articulate enough to make the forearm point straight up while the bicep is pointing down? Because if so, I am going to go and buy a TON of them!

Not quite sure what you mean, but sounds like you might be describing a double jointed elbow. Joes don't have that. There was a Spiderman figure that had it and maybe some other figure but I don't know.

WIP of my latest project. Feels good to be working on Star Wars stuff again. Here is Dagobah Luke Skywalker in training! Need to do some sanding to his shirt and add a little paint. His arms came from a WWE female wrestler chick named Kaitlyn that I found at Walgreens for like 11.50. His hands are the original Luke hands.

Ultimate Farmboy Luke Skywalker. He's got all of his accessories such as his poncho, floppy hat, chest from Old Ben, binos, long rifle, and repainted speeder. Luke himself has repainted hair and he is a combo of the Resurgence of the Force Luke and the Escape the Death Star Luke. His belt is cut out of the Resurgence Luke and it replaced the Stormtrooper belt that comes with the Death Star Luke. This allows Luke to use the full range of motion in his legs that are so awesome. Enjoy!

Hey guys, first off I want to apologise for not getting this guy finished in time for the 6" custom contest. I have been sick and had a back injury at work and had in-laws visiting from China during the time leading up to the end of the contest. The good news is you still get to enjoy this pretty cool custom. Here we have Obi Wan Kenobi in Mandalorian armor as seen in The Clone Wars. He is not %100 percent screen accurate but his color scheme is as close as I could get it. Enjoy!

Wow, now this is one update. Let me comment on the Mando first. I really like it. I am so bummed you didn't get it into the contest in time, but wow. I will go share that one first then get to some of the other great work here.

Had to get that Samurai Darth Vader on the Front page. I love this character. I told myself no more EU, but these Movie Realization figures of Vader and Stormtroopers dressed as Samurai I think look fantastic as does your custom three and three quarter figure.

Finally finished a project I started a long time ago. Here is Luke Skywalker in Hoth gear with an elastic band holding on his goggles with a cloth scarf. Tamer, let me know if you want this.

Here is an upgrade to an old custom I did. I put a better custom cast head on my Dutch. Enjoy. Look for them on eBay starting this weekend.

Really nice update. The six inch trooper looks good.I love the Joe Mando with the gray color scheme and the "bullets" on the wrist.

Custom Jedi Luke. Endor Battle. VC Luke with older version hands and poncho and belt. Because of this Luke's articulation he can easily sit on the speeder bike. Even though VC Luke's head is bigger, the old Rebel helmet still fits!

W.I.P. Old Vetern Mandalorian. Not sure who he is or could be. Just had this idea pop into my head. Need a cool hand to hand weapon. As you can see I used magnets for the head since I used an Odin head from Marvel Legends that won't fit on the Jango neck nub. I also put a magnet in Jango's head and I will permanently glue Jango's head into the helmet and sculpt some hair coming out of the helmet.

Got the hair sculpted in today. I use aves fixit. I think it'll do. Poor Jango's head is stuck in that helmet forever.

Great job! The Odin head works really well for this figure. The beard coming out under the helmet is a nice touch (and a bit amusing as well).

I saw this one on our Facebook Page and shared it. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I can see the younger crowd being trained by this dude. If a Mando can survive into old age he must be a veteran of hundreds, if not thousands of battles.

6” Hasbro Captain Phasma with the Game of Thrones action figure head swap. Helmet head dremeled out for removable helmet. Armor was painted to make it more metallic but the glossy clear coat dulled it back down. Painted a bamboo 7” knitting needle for the staff. Final touch was a cloth cape purchased off eBay.

Excellent work.

Custom Gus! Inspired by Robo from The Fwoosh on  YouTube. That’s a Guardians of the Galaxy Ego head if you’re wondering. It pops on the Range Trooper’s neck nub without any modifications. Thinking he needs a long slug thrower instead of a blaster.

Now that looks pretty tough. I like it. How long did it take you to hollow out that helmet? Off to share.

Post by: CloneSniper78 on April 10, 2018, 07:17:00 AM
I didn’t hollow it out. The Ego head has the same size neck nub as the Range Trooper, so you can just pop them back and forth if you want to.

Cool mod... Even funny cuz Russell was one of the people reading for Han solo originally lol.

Saw these guys tonight at target looks way nicer in person. Would've bought 2x but they were ringing up full price... So that's a pass...

Did a hot glue head swap with the more recently released X-Wing pilot Luke to the old farm boy Luke. Looks a lot better than the original farm boy Luke.
