Title: von's customs ++update MAY 22 cantina++
Post by: von reinhardt on September 05, 2010, 09:36:14 AM
Hey folks,

I'm new to the shipyards, used to own a nice vintage collection of star wars toys & action figures up until '91-92....However that time in life it was hard times and i was forced to sell off my collection. Once life got better i didn't bother collection again until now....and wow! have i ever missed out  on a lot of cool figures. Right now i am building up jabba's palace & Chalmun's Cantina and of course the new bounty hunter's...very cool. I also thought it would be fun to make a few of my own figures....This is how i found the Imperial ship yards  vadsab


Here is a few pix of my first attempt at making & painting my own customs, once i get my collection sorted out & set-up i will post more pictures.

Well for starters, welcome to the Shipyards!  It's a shame you had to sell off your collection, but we all know how times can get.  I'm liking your customs, they are definitely a wide variety!

Hey folks,

I had some free time today after work and did a re-paint...do they count as customs? Excuse my ignorance...i'll catch onto the lingo & what's what...

ok i always hated the paint they gave Labria, i have a extra potf Labria so i used that figure as the Ginnie pig, I think the potf & saga figures are the same....just re-packaged. here is my re-paint next to the saga Labria, i removed his cape until i can find something more suitable....the plastic cape that he comes with is simply awful, anyway....  Enjoy!

Thanks a lot everyone, I'm very happy on how they turned out. Next up will be the cantina space guy in the yellow space suit like Bossk...never enough cantina characters :)  and i think i have the parts to make him. That is what sucks about being new to this hobby...the lack of parts to make cool customs.

Thanks again for the warm welcome and comments on my customs.

It's fetts rifle form this Boba fett i got with a bunch of clones i bought off a guy, the fett's arms move when you push on his rocket pack. All i did was re-paint it.

Just finished a character for my Cantina, I think fans call him by many names? cantina space guy? Yellow spacer? I know, I'm sure he's been done many times before and most of you have most likely seen him already...here is my take on cantina spacer... Enjoy!

Here he is in the movie;

One of  my Favorite star wars characters is Bossk, So here i present to you is Kultyss a Trandoshan mercenary and another figure for my Cantina :)

Kultvss is a Trandoshan and distance cousin of the Bounty Hunter Bossk. Kultvss wasn’t really a bounty hunter but he was blood thirsty and would kill for money, drink or just for fun.
Unlike his cousin Bossk who seems to keep to himself and was a loner, Kultvss was a loud mouth and loved to pick fights. He was a mercenary and didn’t much like the humans  or wookies and enjoys hunting them when he had the chance or if he could stay away from the cantinas. The empire would hire him to sniff out and assassinate mid to low ranking rebels.

Kultvss likes to use a ACP gun, During the clone wars the weapons were used by Trandoshan mercenaries and slavers.

"Hmm. An energy weapon that looks like a slugthrower. I didn't think lizards were that nostalgic."

Von Reinhardt,

Sorry I haven't commented on your creations until now though I am very impressed with what I have seen so far. I'm always pleased to see someone doing something a little different. I also love the Cantina scene from Ep4 so you've hooked me there as well.

Excellent creations and descriptions of characters and well done on getting onto the front page, well deserved!

Von’s Mandalorian destroyers ....lead by  Lord Fenrizk.
Lord Fenrizk was a Mandalorian gone berserk and he had killed a bunch of the death watch in their sleep. He was able to recruit a few rogue clones to help him in his quest to annihilate the members of the deathwatch.
The Duchess of Mandalore looked the other way since he was hell-bent on destroying members of the death watch….but others within her government would hire Lord Fenrizk for search and destroy missions of the death watch.



They didn't turn out as good as i would have liked, oh well...next time.

Hey folks, time for a update; 3 more thugs for you to check out.


The gang;
(http://i53.tinypic.com/4uufs7.jpg)

(http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf3rdw.jpg)

Meet Volfferatu,
Volfferatu was a bounty hunter who would hunt other bounty hunters; If Jabba has a problem with another bounty hunter or was unpleased with their performance he would hire Volfferatu to deal with the problem. All tho Volfferatu doesn't look like much but he is pure evil and would hold rituals and drink blood before he went out on a job. He will most likely be found lurking in the dark corners of the local cantinas or hiding out in the creepy back streets, always looking for his next victim....and always waiting for the next kill.

(http://i51.tinypic.com/29x9445.jpg)

(http://i54.tinypic.com/20pzcwn.jpg)


This Trandoshan bounty hunter is seen talking to Bossk and Kultvss in front of Chalmun's Cantina. They are asking him why he has amour like Dengar the bounty hunter.
 Turns out that he was on a dangers mission where his normal space suit (like the suit bossk wears) just would not cut it so Dengar offered him his spare stormtrooper armor. This unknown trandoshan liked it so much that Dengar offered it to him in trade for his ACP LS-150.

Ok, this custom must have been done already? I searched the site but didn't see it?
 I thought it would be a fun one to do since i like the bounty hunter Cad Bane...here he is in the clone trooper disguise. I know it's the wrong helmet, but this is the only spare helmet i had.

Any tips of the helmet re-paint? Mind you i do not have a visor like the helmet shown in the pix below.

I've been a bit behind on your customs, but your Cantina is shaping up very nicely!  Vosferattu looks very sinister, like he has some deep seeded hatred and personal problems that shaped him this way.  Very cool!

My custom star wars slaver/pimp.
This Ithorian calls himself King Ludwig and he hangs out and supply's the lady's for Jabba's palace. He has no relation to Momaw Nadon.

Ithorians were a mammalian herbivorous sentient species from the planet Ithor. They were commonly called "Hammerheads" by less sensitive beings because of their long, curving neck and T-shaped head. They found this nickname offensive.

This custom idea came directly from one of 'JACKOFTRADZE' customs called Snooty Giddy Up. I liked Snooty so much i wanted one for myself, but i used different parts and paint scheme so not to rip off JACKOFTRADZE's custom figure.

Post by: von reinhardt on November 22, 2010, 07:35:57 AM
I always liked the Trandoshas & Saurin reptilian species and the Hrchek figure is one of my favorite figures from Hasbro.

For this custom I used Saga Legends: Saesee Tiin body and swamped the head,hands & legs from Hrchek kal fas figure, added some paint and i now have a cool Saurin Jedi.

The Saurin were a reptilian species from the planet Durkteel, in the Kastolar sector of the Kashyyyk Region. Related to the Trandoshans of Trandosha, the Saurin shared knobby, scaly skin; broad, flat noses; wide, gaping mouths; and sharp, jagged teeth with their cousins. In contrast, however, the Saurin had five-fingered hands instead of the Trandoshans' three digits (plus opposable thumb).

My 1st Jedi, meet Master Jedi dunkeleins.
 Not fighting for the cause, Dunkeleins is more of a lone wolf and lives on Tatooine. He mostly hangs out at the watering holes  and roams the back streets where the scum of the earth dwell, He will interfere where there is a innocent in trouble.

Thanks guys.....

yeah Phatty is right on the money.......the Rodian greaser is made from Mutt Williams from the KOTCS Indiana Jones body, with a POTF greedo head & hands. I use this greedo because the head is a lot smaller that the newer Greedo....these parts add some paint and i made one of my favorite customs so far.... even if it is a real simple one...sometime they are the coolest figures imo.

It's awesome to have made the front page again :)

Thanks a lot for the positive  comments everyone ...  Making your own figures is more fun than collecting them...well close anyhow....

Just for fun......here is another Jedi that i made a few weeks ago...I didn't like him at first but this figure has grown on me now.

RUMklagg the drunken Jedi

RUMklagg was once an active Jedi and very involved in defeating the separatists in his youth.
However, over the decades he has grown old and tired and addicted to alcohol and judging by his reddish "RUM" nose he's been drinking for a very long time.
You can find RUMklagg drunk and falling down in Mos Eisley Cantina, he will work cheap if you need a bounty...but he screws up a lot and you may lose your money.

I didn't really know what to do with the hat?....but  at the same time i wanted this bounty hunter to look like he was obsessed with the 1950's, wish i had a tommy gun for him.....I  may change him?

If you go back thru the thread you will find pictures of  each figures..... i think i posted some?

Ok that's enough Jedi scum for now......

My latest creation; Smuggler Keware Vaol

This Twi'lek was taken as a slave as a small child but by the time she reached here teen years she killed her master and has been on the run. She makes her living as a smuggler but will also take work as a bounty hunter since the money is better.
She often hides out in slums and drinking Establishments on Tatooine Like Chalmun's Cantina. ...

Post by: von reinhardt on December 14, 2010, 06:09:55 PM
Thanks folks,

Parts used;
POTF Oola head
TAC comic pack Mara Jade body
POTF Leia Hoth vest
 
So drill out the head, prime & paint and you have a cool smuggler or bounty hunter for your Dio. I love to use a vest on my customs, just looks cool.

Here is the figure that i started with-

Garouf Lafoe was a male Human from Tatooine. He was an ice trader, fetching ice from the rings of Adriana and bringing it back to Tatooine. Lafoe was a patron in Chalmun's Cantina when Obi-Wan Kenobi took Luke Skywalker there. After witnessing Obi-Wan whip out a lightsaber, he went and informed sandtrooper Davin Felth of the incident.

The best i could do with the parts i had, Made this guy for a friend.

VON REINHARDT CUSTOMS ADDED TO "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"
VON REINHARDT CUSTOMS

Von Reinhardt
aka Darth Von Frost is a 41 year old customizer from Canada and has been a Star Wars fan since he can remember. He owned a ton of original toys back in the early 1990's but had to sell off that collection. In 2010 he was bit by the Star Wars bug after seeing a few of the new and amazingly detailed action figures and started to collect once again. But now he will only buy figures that he really wants or toys he could use as custom fodder.
He does not collect vehicles or ships because he feels they are expensive and take up way too much space.

After seeing some amazing customs from JACKOFTRADZE and buying an abundance of customs from him, he, like us, thought he'd try to create some of his own.

He then started his own blog, I {HEART} STAR WARS this month to showcase some of his own customs and also show some of the new figures that are coming out. He has been making his own customs since SEPT 2010. ...so he says he is still honing his painting skills.

Post by: von reinhardt on December 21, 2010, 06:26:38 AM
Thanks a lot for all the pos. comments of my figures.

Here are two more figures that i just finished last night;

Here is a Cerean smuggler/bounty hunter who lives on Tatooine, HH works on his own and will take some jobs that Jabba will offer him, while HH does not like Jabba very much you will find hanging   around at Jabba's palace from time to time because  Jabba will pay him top dollar.
He enjoys the challenge of smuggling rebels past the Empire. He also has a sinister side and  really likes to take sniper shots at storm troopers who are occupying Tatooine.
They call him HH (Handsome Harley) because he is smooth with the lady's.

One more custom before i head back to work tomorrow....

When the Imperial prison barge Purge — temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy's most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels and thieves — breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope seems to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back — bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours, nearly all aboard the Purge will die in ways too hideous to imagine.

And death is only the beginning. ...

What a great movie this would make.

ROTJ Luke giving Vader the beat-down in front of the Emperor.  I *think* it was a 3-pack sculpt.  I don't have it, but if you scan back through older Yak's Pub cartoons, you'll see one used.  ;)

Yeah, I thought the Palpy head  was  perfect to be use as a zombie.... as is the new TVC Darth Sidious (Revenge Of The Sith)
I never seen that snarlig Luke figure? Once i pick up another TVC Sidious i will make another death trooper.

I'd like to get that saga Luke  to use as a zombie.

For the Palpy head i did modify it just a little, i used  a dremel tool & bit to cut into the eye socket and make it look deeper and cut up his face to make it look like flesh wounds....prime & paint...

B.R. Steel , That H:R Giger  sculpture was made by McFarlane toys some years ago, very nice & detailed, it's like 3-d art.

The ubiquitous man of Mos Eisley

This figure is based on a obscure guy who is always walking around in most of the external Mos Eisley scenes. Check out the movie and when you see him just walking past all of the time you will laugh...it's funny how much he's always in these scenes.

I saw on another site a guy named him 'The ubiquitous man of Mos Eisley'. ....and before Luke & Obi go into the cantina sure enough ubiquitous man is always walking by them..... So here is my custom based on that guy.

Hey folks,  Here is a speedy & easy custom Imperial officer i did tonight.


My new custom imperial officer, a simple custom. I used a tvc AT-AT commander and just swapped out the head and gave him new paint from head to toe...and now have another Officer to boss around the storm troopers.

Post by: von reinhardt on January 16, 2011, 05:28:23 PM
Thanks guys,

I will admit, this is my second crack at Yoxgit. The 1st one i made for a friend and i just used a (Legacy)   
Ugnaught   body and ground & sanded it down but i didn't like the looks of him with the jack boots. & how buff he looked (1990s potf buff,ha,ha)
So i thought the Zutton body  along with the  (potf) Ugnaught arms would look cool and that's the Yoxget i kept for myself.


1st try;

A great scene from the Empire strikes back., and since i can not afford the new Statue from Gentle Giant Products i re-painted my solo in Carbonite and set up a 3.75" action figure display.

Hello  folks,

This Ultimate Gamorrean guard (RANCOR SLAYER) was not my idea. I stumbled on the idea while browsing the rebelscum forums where a couple of guys did a simple head swap with the new vintage collection Gamorrean guard and marvel universe 'world war Hulk'. I thought wow! what a cool idea.....and then after that i saw the best Rancor slayer from jackoftradze he did a complete re-paint and added spikes & horns and it blew my mind and i had to own one...so anyway.....this lead me to make my own rancor slayer.

enjoy! This custom took me a while.


The Empire was in need of a super soldier and humans where just too small and weak so the empire had a Imperial scientist to work with some of the most evil but brilliant minds in the galaxy to create the ultimate soldier.
 Word spread fast to the Imperial scientist that Jabba was working on such a beast to be used in gladiator like games so off he went to the depths of Jabba's palace to investigate and what he found was a huge bio-mechanic Gamorrean  in a lab.
Jabba always looking to make money told the scientist that he is welcome to watch the slayer do battle with a rancor and if  the beast  wins with very little damage the mighty Jabba will take his order for an army of Gamorrean slayers.
The Imperial scientist witnessed the beast destroy the rancor with ease and ordered 100 slayers to be tested in battle. But the Imperial scientist wants to take them and have the  empire train them to be elite soldiers.

The base to my rancor slayer;

that rancor slayer is bad ass.  Much more imposing than the dumpy pig faced standard gamoreans!  The planet hulk figure is the perfect base!  I can't believe I didn't think of this, I've had a gamorean sitting on my shelf with a war planet hulk sitting not too far away... seeing this it seems so obvious!

great job getting the colors to match up on the head swap too.

Post by: von reinhardt on February 22, 2011, 07:49:29 PM
yep, that is a chopped Tie fighter pilot helmet :)

It seems that most of my bounty hunters/mercenary figures have that 'steampunk' or cyberpunk theme going on......i guess that is  a style i have developed since i started this hobby a few months ago.....these mercenary figures i make all seem to have that same look to them...ha,ha

Tomorrow i will post a group shot   >:D

Ah man that is awesome! I love the helmet combos! Can we see more on that? I would love to see exactly wnat you did/what the head under the helmet is.
Title: Re: von's customs ++update FEB 22 - Kruld the bounty hunter.++
Post by: von reinhardt on February 23, 2011, 07:10:15 AM
A few more pix, for the tie helmet i just cut away the bottom part so that the lower jaw of the Joe  head would be exposed. The other helmet is a German WWII helmet.
I drilled two small holes in the Joe head to fit the tubes, modded the sandtrooper pack to fit and gave the figure  a complete paint job. The figure is a tie fighter pilot from the battle of Endor battle pack.

I am glad you guys like him, when i finished him i didn't like the way it turned out and i didn't think it was even worth posting. I guess i only posted this figure because it's been a while since i made something.

thanks for the pos. comments.

 I'm stoked that you guys like him.... Kruld is like when i first made RUMklagg the dunking Jedi i didn't like him when at first. Sometimes it takes a while for some of my creations to grow on me. It's like when i finished Kruld i feel he should have turned out better...i don't know?

Thanks Von, it was the Joe under helmet I could not make out. I recognise it now but can't remember the name. The helmet combo is what stands out for me as it has an older sci-fi feel to it. I may have to borrow this at some time.

Hey mate,

The joe head is from Neo-Viper, yeah i like old stuff and enjoy any old sci-fi & horror.....borrow any ideas you want, to me that's the fun of creating and posting out customs. My three favorite customs that i made are all from other peoples ideas...ha,ha

This guy's got a good look to him; he'll make a nice background character on Jabba's skiff-

Awesome dio, man! 

Your character representations are phenomenal...and I think I caught the Tonnika sisters in there!   ;D

If you don't mind, what parts/figs did you use for those two?  Those are some of the best representations of the Tonnikas I've seen...

The twins were made by a great customizer 'JACKOFTRADZ', sorry i do not know what parts he used to make these amazing figures.

Oh yea....and see the guy with the long hair and blue vest talking to the Rodian in the leather  jacket, that is me...ha,ha
