Title: 03/15/2024: CloneTroopr's Customs: Jaraeyla Fel (Darth Nox) <SWTOR>
Post by: CloneTroopr on January 13, 2012, 06:12:13 PM
Hi, fellow Star Wars Fans and Action Figure Customizers! I'm new to Imperial Shipyards (as of January 13, 2012) and started customizing about two years ago. This is a topic for my customs, both old and recent. Enjoy!

I aim to make figs that either Hasbro will never make (characters from games, books, etc.), has made badly, or sell for ridiculous prices online.

Go to my FaceBook Page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/CloneTrooprs-Customs/174144516097873) for exclusive photos of my customs and Works-In-Progress
Don't hesitate to give it a like! :D

So, here's my first custom:

Walon Vau - clone commando training sergeant, wielded a beskad
His black armor stands for justice, and he was the trainer of Delta Squad.

He's from the Republic Commando series by Karen Traviss

more pics...

for the rifle's sling (if that's what its called), I used one of them "wire twisters." They work really well, and they can be shaped into any shape :D

Next custom, one I just finished this week:

Kal Skirata: another clone commando training sergeant, wielded a custom WESTAR-34 blaster, armor stood for revenge. He trained Omega Squad.
From Republic Commando series by Karen Traviss

close up pics

for the blaster, I used a Jango WESTAR-34 blaster and glued on a sniper rifle scope from the "secret weapons" packet that comes with Saga Legends figures

also, the "wookie braids" I painted silver, sort of a rough version of Skirata's durasteel chain

nice i love mandalorians but i really like the paint scheme on Walon Vau
Title: Re: CloneTroopr's Star Wars Customs
Post by: CloneTroopr on January 13, 2012, 07:08:46 PM
Thanks :D

btw, the walon vau's paint scheme is very different from the Hasbro's "supposed-to-be" Walon now B'arin Apma paint scheme

I'd actually  originally intended him to be another Mandalorian, and over the years, he's changed from brown to gold to black :D

too bad she didn't finish the series.  Not her fault.  One cool thing is that it allows us to come up with our own endings using our customs.  You should check out my RC novels inspired characters.

Post by: CloneTroopr on March 06, 2012, 10:55:33 PM
Ever since I first opened the very first RC set, it's always bothered me that Fixer didn't have his headset piece and shoulder ammo piece, and I'd longed to fix it somehow. Here's the result, though I'm going to improve it soon, as this is more of a test than anything. Turned out better than I expected, though the antennae were a pain in the shebs to attach.

So...here's my Republic Commando Fixer "fix-it."
Title: Re: CloneTroopr's Star Wars Customs
Post by: CloneTroopr on March 08, 2012, 06:32:05 PM
something new coming up soon, hopefully in a week or so, ...hope you're as excited as I am!!!...sorry, not sure when i'll be able to post "them" :D
Title: Re: CloneTroopr's Star Wars Customs: Mandalorians, RC's, and KotOR
Post by: CloneTroopr on August 14, 2012, 03:36:20 PM
Hello again, fellow shipyarders! I'm back with a ...llooonnng.... overdue update. This has actually been "finished" for months already, but I have been randomly adding improvements to it over time.
So, here it is: Darth Revan.
Seeing as how the Hasbro rendition of Darth Revan is going for upwards of $50 USD or more online, I decided I had enough of wanting one for myself and might as well tackle the challenge of making one. One thing I noticed about the Hasbro version was that the helmet was all wrong, according to comparisons with game cutscenes. So...here goes:
...oddly, enough...my pictures make him look shorter than he is..
Title: Re: CloneTroopr's Star Wars Customs: Mandalorians, RC's, and KotOR
Post by: CloneTroopr on August 14, 2012, 03:42:45 PM
more pictures of close-up shots of the helmet/hood
I sculpted the mask out of modeling clay, baked it, and painted it...I'll try to post up some pre-baked pics later.
pic three shows a more close-up of the chestplate. There's a kind of dent in the center with cracks leading off of it. XD
Title: Re: CloneTroopr's Star Wars Customs: Mandalorians, RC's, and KotOR
Post by: CloneTroopr on August 14, 2012, 03:55:12 PM
More pictures...
1&2 show the metal rings that I "made" for Revan. I used the wire-twisters once again, only this time I stripped them of their plastic coverings and bent them into ring shapes and hangers. For the center ring, I cut a big paperclip and used pliers to bend it into a ring shape.
3&4 show the "articulation" of the center red strip and the skirt. I threaded a wire-twister into the skirt edge and stuck another onto the back of the center red strip.

next up...the lightsaber...mine's a mix between obi-wan's and darth vader's lightsabers, and some Gundam stickers
and...here's a comparison shot between the cover art of the Revan book and my custom...no spoilers please...
and I know that the helmets are not 100% similar, but pictures of Revan's mask are always very...different designs...to say the least...I tried to make the best one possible...

Post by: CloneTroopr on August 14, 2012, 04:25:31 PM
Custom #2 for today is Bastila Shan's yellow single-bladed lightsaber...yes...she had one...
...she used it against Darth Revan on his flagship...
the lightsaber is Aayla Secura's lightsaber hilt and...oddly enough...the blade is the end of a flame-piece from a Jango Fett. it's the exact same color as the double-bladed saber that came with the Bastila figure

nice! You'll definitely have to show me the rifle; I've been wanting sooo long to make one. Hasbro is really bad with their shortcuts. post up the link here when you do XD thanks!
btw, I've resorted to permanently gluing those pieces onto Fixer, instead of that hot glue! XD

Hi,thanks for the comments on my Dio of camp skirata.........glad you like it. Noticed you haven't many posts so i just looked back through your customs,great pieces you've done.A bit of a mando/skirata/Traviss fan at one point? I've nearly finished my clan,only 2 more Null Arcs to make in Beskar and a few more accessories to do,forgot a few things your thread reminded me of.

I did a similar fixer fix-up myself but did a green earpiece though which i may repaint in the end,and on Boss with the shoulder mods..........the details do make all the difference don't they :)
I'm a bit behind on the KOTOR games but i do like the Revan you made,luckily i got a mint original dirt cheap and made a huge profit,my 2nd revan was real cheap (only £3!!!) but the inner robes were torn away so i may follow your example and create better robes. the hooded robe i made from palpatines hood and grievous's cloak but i prefer real cloth like yours.
I'm in the same mindset recently about paying mega prices for figures I can make better myself for less......... I'm doing galen marek in beskar and another in a corellian flightsuit,better and cheaper.

once I've finished KOTOR II I'll likely make some figures like you have,keep posting the good work and thanks again for taking time to view my Mandalore diorama

Still a Traviss fan. XD It's such a travesty (I couldn't resist XP) that the series wasn't finished. I hope against hope that they'll bring her back one day to finish it up, but there's too much conflict with the current TCW...sadly.
I'm really loving your custom figs tho, and that strill is amazing. So jealous by the way...THREE EUROS for Revan!?! Thanks for the great comments, and I'll be sure to check out your upcoming figs, especially that corellian flightsuit galen (one of my fav. costumes). Tell me how you like KOTOR II XD

Thanks for the compliments :D That Revan was really fun to make (had some missteps; molded the mask and armor out of clay, and the chestplate looked pretty good, until I baked it and it bubbled/burned beyond recognition...had to trash it. Fortunately, it all worked out.). And it still scares me how all the pieces came together for Bandon. Link me the pics if you ever do the fix-it XD

Happy New Year! To start the year, here's my most recent custom of a "made-up" character based on The Old Republic game/trailers.

Master Hev Dareios was a prominent Jedi Guardian during the war against the Sith Empire. Though his manner was brusque, he had a deep compassion for those too weak to defend themselves. As was frequently seen during the Old Republic era, Master Hev had a few cybernetic implants, most notably on the left side of his head. Since his affinity with the Force was not as strong as the Jedi Consulars, he chose to have this implant to enhance his hearing, amongst other mysterious functions. The Jedi Guardian stood at approximately 1.9 meters. He practiced both lightsaber forms Djem So and Juyo.

During the sacking of Coruscant and the Jedi Temple, Master Hev was leading the war effort in the battle for Balmorra. When the Treaty of Coruscant went into effect, the Republic was forced to withdraw all troops and leave the Balmorran citizens to fight the Empire alone. Master Hev, rather than leave behind the Balmorran resistance to be crushed, disobeyed orders and stayed to fight. However, before mounting a major counteroffensive in coordination with the Balmorran resistance fighters, Master Hev received a Force vision about a Jedi that would come years later and free the Balmorrans. He was not that Jedi. Instead of participating in the counteroffensive, he stayed in the shadows for years and struck at the Empire in small but significant ways, paving the way for the promised Jedi to come. A few weeks before that foretold Jedi was to arrive, Master Hev ambushed an Imperial convoy that he had believed was ill-protected. Unbeknownst to him, the Empire had baited him into a battle he could not win, and Master Hev was believed to have been killed in a valiant effort to save his own life. It is said that at least a thousand Imperial troops and scores of Sith Acolytes, Sorcerers, and Dark Lords died by his blade and ingenuity during his lifetime.

Thanks! At first, I was wondering about whether to give him cybernetics or not. It actually started out as an earring that was originally sculpted on the head. Hasbro botched it though, and it looked nothing like an earring, so I thought, what the heck, I'll just extend it like crazy and turn it into a cybernetic implant! XD

Ooh, nice! Is the sentinel and consular based on your characters in the game, or misc jedi from TOR? I've always wanted to make a custom of my Sniper from TOR, but haven't gotten around to it. And I look forward to seeing Mission, I've made about 3 Missions so far, found a pretty solid recipe and I think it's pretty cool. I look forward to seeing these guys!

The Sentinel and Consular are both just misc. characters that wear robes/armor that are similar to in-game armor. But it would be phenomenal if I was able to make my TOR characters. XD Lol, if you're made three Missions, then I hope mine can even come close to live up to yours! I just saw your Canderous, and it's inspiring XD

Very nice, there's plenty of robes to choose from, I personally love the Aspiring Knight's Robe for the sent. Hahah, thanks! I've sold all my Missions, so I'll have to see if I can bring up a picture sometime, it's not great but I'm happy with it. And thanks, that Canderous was fun to make, but I still forgot to add his tattoo on his arm, and his heavy blaster. And I may add more scars to the head, so an update of that may be in order. Anyway, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Same; I really liked that design, it's too bad that that robe wasn't modable X\
Eventually, I'd love to tackle the challenge of making a Canderous, but I really would have no idea how to do the tattoo XD would love to see your update XD

Work on Mission is progressing well, btw XD

Mission Vao <KOTOR>
 - 14 yr. old Twi'lek slicer that joined Revan on his quest to stop Malak

Behind the Scenes:
One day, I was so bored, I tried to think of something to customize that was in the same theme that I've been working through for the past few months, all the while trying to figure out what figure I didn't care about. I finally came up with the idea of customizing my extra Aalya Secura, and Mission Vao was born! XD
*figure made from old Aayla Secura sculpt. Face was subtly altered and painted to giver her a rounder, more childish appearance. (e.g. chin was shaved to be less prominent) Skin tone was dry-brushed a tad darker. The headtails were bent forward, her headband was shortened, etc. Heels were cut off, and the un-articulated arm was bent straighter. Belt was changed as well. Below is a comparison picture.

Revan (updated)
(older version on pg. 2-3)

Mask: cut thinner, parts of it were repainted, the cheek pieces were cut down
Rings: big ring added to back of skirt, with three strips wrapped to it, as seen on The Old Republic video game
Cape and Hood: Krazy Glue applied to certain edges to shape the cloths' position. (former's cape tended to be crooked)

AMAZING work man! I hadn't considered using Aayla's body to build a Mission before (I usually use the comic pack Mara Jade) but this turned out pretty well. I like how you sculpted her face to make it more childish, job well done on her. I like the rings you used for Revan's belt as well, I might have to try that for my TOR styled Revan which I'm working on. I take it you have the Revan armor set in TOR?  ;D   I like your battle scene set up as well, makes me realize I need to make some more Dark Jedi lol.

Thanks! XD Actually, I can see how a Mara Jade body would fit Mission. The failing of the Aayla body is limited articulation X\
The rings were a pain to make tho, literally, took arm strength to bend it (the thick paperclips that is). I'd actually toyed with the idea of making a TOR-style Revan, I'd love to see that in action figure form. Let me know when it's finished! XD I only partially have the armor set in the game, that mask is ridiculously expensive X\
You've made Dark Jedi too?!? Send me a link XD

Yeah, Mara is a great body to use for Mission, I made about 3 until I had one I was happy with lol. I'll have to borrow your idea to sculpt the chin on Aayla to make her look younger, that's a very nice touch.
I'll be uploading some pics of Revan when he's done, and some other TOR figures. I've got a Sergeant Rusk and Doc made now, Kira Carsen is close to done, then I have a recipe made for Scourge. Then I'll move onto the Trooper's companions, lol somebody has to since Hasbro won't. I'll have to get some pics taken of my Dark Jedi, right now I have a male Dark Jedi and a female WIP, I'll get them up soon.

Yeah, I set out with the intentions on making a Kira, then I found I had parts that looked a lot like the other JK comps, and they started coming together. I'd like to make at least one companion from every class in the game. Maybe all if I get the parts and time, but that's a big if haha.
I play on a few different servers, but recently I haven't had a lot of time due to school and other stuff. But when I do play, I'm on The Prophecy of the Five with my lvl 50 Sniper, The Bastition with some lowbies and I think I have a 20ish commando on The Ebon Hawk. What server are you on?

Here's an update on my Exile project. Here's her lightsaber. It's actually modeled after a hilt that appears in the Old Republic video game. The hilt itself definitely needs some touching up, but I think it's a good start. Though it really doesn't make any sense for Meetra Surik to have wielded a lightsaber from the Old Republic era 300 years later, I thought the design was pretty neat. Anyways...it kind of links her to that era.

Here it is! See if you can guess what the base figure is going to be for the Exile from the pictures:

Thanks! Unfortunately, they're probably going to be done around the second half of May :\ The provider for the materials that I'm looking at has his inventory on hold 'till May.


However...I've got 2 more customs that are pretty much done, all I have to do is take and upload the pics! Stay tuned for some KotOR (hopefully)-goodness!

Hey all! Happy Star Wars Day! Because of today, I decided to upload the pics of my recent completed (such a funny word, isn't it?) customs...and wait for it...they're in HD! The KotOR party just got bigger! Enjoy!
- Mission Vao (updated)
- Zaalbar
- Revan (updated)
- HK-47

First up, Mission Vao. This time, I painted her pants a lighter gray, painted her skin a more darker/accurate blue, painted her left arm blue with a black armband, made her vest a little wider, put scopes on her blasters, refined the paint detailing on her headgear, and made her "Prototype Vibroblade" that she has in-game (displayed in the 2nd to next post).

She's now much more accurate! XD
Title: Re: 5/04/13: CloneTroopr's Customs: KotOR Party!
Post by: CloneTroopr on May 04, 2013, 07:26:27 PM
Next, here's Zaalbar, Mission's companion and best friend. He swore a life debt to Revan.

By the way...that bowcaster was a pain to mod with those 2 wires.
Title: Re: 5/04/13: CloneTroopr's Customs: KotOR Party!
Post by: CloneTroopr on May 04, 2013, 07:30:59 PM
...another pic of Zaalbar's bowcaster, and pictures of the two in action!

Notice that the bowcaster is slightly different from Chewbacca's; the strap has been removed, the scope was cut down, and the two ball-contraption on the sides were reversed.

Also, the last pic is a pic of the updated Revan! (I know...this is the 2nd time) This time, he has two chains added on front of the upper torso, and his hood has been re-positioned, permanently...(It's actually a lot harder than it sounds), the gauntlet ridges have been cut off, and now it's much more game accurate!
Title: Re: 5/04/13: CloneTroopr's Customs: KotOR Party!
Post by: CloneTroopr on May 04, 2013, 07:37:10 PM
Next is HK-47. I'd actually wanted to do him for some time, and someone else beat me to it on the Yards...I can't remember who, but I do know that he did a better job than me! XD Even so, here he is. I made him more game accurate by adding a metal antenna to the side of his head, and made a more game-accurate rifle for him.
Title: Re: 5/04/13: CloneTroopr's Customs: KotOR Party!
Post by: CloneTroopr on May 04, 2013, 07:39:39 PM
And finally, here's pics of the KotOR party together! At least what I have so far... XD

- Mission Vao (updated) (on bottom of previous page)
- Zaalbar
- Revan (updated for the 2nd time!)
- HK-47
- Hasbro's Bastila Shan

Enjoy! ...and May the 4th be with you!!!

Coming...
16. Imperial Agent <TOR>
17. Meetra Surik (The Exile) <KOTOR II>
18. Carth Onasi <KOTOR>

Oh man, this update was well worth the wait! I am amazed the paint apps on the Zaalbar, the HK is also very well done. And the updated figures are superb, Mission is looking really nice. Also, you have outdone yourself with the weapons on these guys. Missions Vibroblade is outstanding, how did you make this? Zaalbar's bowcaster is nice too, and the Scuba trooper rifle is really nice for kotor figures, it looks really nice with HK. I have a similar one made up for my Bao-Dur.

Thanks a bunch! XD For Mission's Vibroblade, I used an Assassin's Creed sword, albeit with quite a bit of custom work, such as a missile part used to extend the handle. For HK though, I didn't use a scuba trooper rifle; I actually used one of those sniper rifles (modified) that came in those "secret weapons lockers" that were packed with the legacy collection figures in 2008.

I did an HK47 a little while back.....made from an cheap HK50.
yours looks the part,as do all the KOTOR figures you've been doing.
What did you use for 47? He's gotta be my favourite character from the games.

Post by: CloneTroopr on May 23, 2013, 04:46:14 PM
Hey guys! Just pulled out my ol' Star Wars Republic Commando game and played for a few hours...and I thought...why don't I try making Sev's sniper rifle? I'd toyed with the idea for years now, but never thought I was good enough to make one, especially with all of the expert versions of Sev's rifle that I've already seen on the yards. Since I had some time on my hands, I decided I'd tackle the challenge, and this is the finished product. Hope you like it! (see if you can spot the "Easter egg" of one of my WIPs in the pics)

Haven't updated in awhile, but here's two new customs to add to the Kotor Crew!
For the next 2 days, I'm going to add up another custom a day, as I've realized that the past few times have been so heavy with customs that it's hard for anyone to see them as individual figures.
I hope you like that the pics are now HD quality and condensed into one post (I've figured out how to link photos from photobucket!).

Carth Onasi
*This guy required a lot of modifying that I have never done before, so it's all new to me, and I'm pretty pleased with the result.
 - sculpted hair
 - extended legs to make figure the accurate height to the videogame character
 - use of adhesive soft goods for vest
 - cutting down of sleeves lengthwise to make forearm guards

Day 2
This is a figure I teased awhile back, and it was finally finished as of a few weeks ago when I got the head in the mail and the paints from a hobby store. (I was so sick of staring at a headless, half-finished figure!) :D
I actually tried to look up other people's customs of the Exile, and to my surprise, I only found one or two, and they were pretty old, meaning that creating this figure took a lot more creativity on my part...

Meetra Surik (The Exile) - KOTOR 2
- First time I have painted a totally unpainted head. I like how it turned out.
- Use of head, details on head, and modification to hair inspired by my version of the Exile in the KOTOR II video game.
- Notice the gold trim and silver robe. As there is no canon look of Meetra Surik in the KOTOR II era (only a small description of her in a novel), I had to get creative with the look of the robe. I ended up with a fusion of Bastila Shan's robe and the robe that the Exile is seen wearing in the TOR videogame.
- The lightsaber hilt, as mentioned in the teaser, is a hilt found in the TOR videogame. Refer to the teaser section of this thread for a reference photo.

So, So, So Cool!  I'm now in the middle of reading Revan.  I never played the game but am now interested in adding The Exile to my collection.  I may have to borrow an idea or two here.

Too cool! That head is really well done, what kind of paint did you use? I can't ever seem to get the eyes to look that good. And true, the best thing about the exile is you get to be creative because there's so many different armor options in the game and who know what happened after the game, I really like the design you have going on here.

It was nice to not be limited by an existing look. I use Tamiya acrylic paint. The eyes actually started out with a basic white to fill it up, then a needle dipped a little bit in brown paint for the line that is the eyelashes, and finally another dip with the needle to create the dot that is the pupil. :D

Post by: CloneTroopr on July 11, 2013, 10:14:21 PM
Day 3

Here it is, the other figure that I was teasing: The Imperial Agent from The Old Republic videogame.

Imperial Agent
- This figure also utilizes a head that was unpainted, and I had to paint in the details.
- Helmet is similar to in-game Imperial Sniper helmets.
- The sniper rifle is a customized weapon.
- The cover screen appears in the game as a portable device that projects a shield that the agent takes cover behind.

This looks really good man, looks just like the one armor set from the game (the Hooligan's Set?) but the cover screen is plain awesome! I was debating how to make one for my Sniper I'm working on as my spec is Marksman so I'm behind the cover screen a lot  ;D  I may have to borrow your idea here. Excellent work!

Thank you very much! :D I'm actually not entirely sure which set it looks like, but I thought the chest plate of this figure really resembled a few armors in the game. You can definitely use my idea, and, happy KOTOR 10th anniversary! :D Did you get the Revan's Heir title?

- Armor has been painted a cleaner silver

- Top of robe has been glued into place

T3-M4
Hey guys! I can't believe I'm posting this guy, because up till a few days ago, I didn't think I'd ever be able to make this guy. Anyways, he's an astromech/utility droid from the Knights of the Old Republic video game that becomes one of your crew members.
(Check out my new Facebook Page for WIP pics and updates! :D https://www.facebook.com/pages/CloneTrooprs-Customs/174144516097873)
- He's made of scrap plastic, I can't believe he turned out the way he did.

Title: Re: 12/17/13: CloneTroopr's Customs: Mara and Fixer Fix-its
Post by: CloneTroopr on December 17, 2013, 12:33:43 PM
It's been 2 months since I've posted anything, but finally, here are two fix-its I did.
1) Mara Jade: I think by now,we all know what a disaster the Black Series Mara's facial paint apps have been. When mine came in the mail, I actually didn't think it was too bad, but those eyebrows were still killer. In the end, I repainted her hair, gave her new eyebrows, and new eyes. Hope you like it. (reference pic is the paperback cover of Choices of One)
2) Fixer (update): I posted a temporary fix for Fixer when I first started posting at ISY. A few days ago, I had nothing to do, so I went back and changed it up a bit; I repainted the custom headpiece and thinned out the antennae.

Let me know what you think. :D

Stay tuned for tomorrow; I've got a full-fledged custom I'm finishing up and getting ready to post up.

Thanks for all the comments on my Mara and Fixer! :D

Anyways, I think mostly everyone can relate to this story: I've wanted to get a figure for sooo long and searched ebay many times. After losing bid after bid, I got tired of it and decided to make my own version.

As promised, here's the fig I just made:
Darth Malak

Here are some WIP pics on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.225259067653084.1073741829.174144516097873&type=1

Title: Re: 1/25/14: CloneTroopr's Customs: Cipher Nine (TOR)
Post by: CloneTroopr on January 26, 2014, 01:03:35 AM
Here we go: my take on Ciper Nine Vantarus Fel, who was a specialized Imperial Agent of the Sith Empire in the Old Republic times. (Play the Imperial Agent storyline in the game for his story!) Enjoy! I've got another custom to show tomorrow.

- I kid you not, this figure was a bother to make at times, especially the head: this head is exactly the same head as the Winter Soldier head (shown below), just heavily...customized.
- The skirt is poseable.

Really nice work here, I really like his trench coat, is it based on the Outlaw's Duster? Or the one you get from the Cad FP (that's the one I have  ;D  the Sniper rifle is especially nice too.

Haha, nice catch. I'm pretty sure my Agent was wearing the Outlaw's Duster when I screenshot-ed it and used it as a reference pic for this figure. I did get it from a drop, but it wasn't from the Cademinu FP; haven't done FPs in a while :(
Thanks for the compliments man :D

Post by: CloneTroopr on January 26, 2014, 08:02:00 PM
As promised, here's the next custom fig: Jaina Solo (Pilot Uniform)

(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag83/CloneTroopr/Jaina%20Solo/Jaina_zpsf993bad0.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/CloneTroopr/media/Jaina%20Solo/Jaina_zpsf993bad0.jpg.html)

I cut an opening in the back of the helmet so that her ponytail can fit through. I also added a microphone to the helmet after looking at photos of the prop.
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag83/CloneTroopr/Jaina%20Solo/pilotview_zpsd0dad6a7.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/CloneTroopr/media/Jaina%20Solo/pilotview_zpsd0dad6a7.jpg.html)

Notice that I hitched up the silver/gray straps on the legs. I think it was just kind of lazy on Hasbro's part to give the straps from male pilot figs to female pilot figures; the scaling is all wrong. I also weathered up Jaina's uniform a bit.

Title: Re: 2/17/14: CloneTroopr's Customs: Canderous Ordo (Knights of the Old Republic)
Post by: CloneTroopr on February 17, 2014, 09:34:40 PM
Hi guys, I'm really excited right now, because I have now completed all of the Knights of the Old Republic videogame crew members/companions in action figure form. You can expect group pics of them all tomorrow!
Tomorrow, I'm going to post Juhani, the last crew member, but for today, I'm going to post another companion:

Canderous Ordo

- UPDATE: Yes, he's wearing pants. I've changed the color now to a more yellow. Oddly enough, the pics make it look more yellow than the actual figure is.

- This figure marks another step into my journey as a customizer; he utilizes body parts from different figures. (excluding the head) I bought a head cast from Clonehead, but when it came, I found that the head was disproportionate from the body (of no fault to Lucasclones). I had to cut down the neck and the surrounding muscle until it looked proportionate. Originally, I was going to use the entire "The Rock" body, but when I finished, I realized he was way too tall. Oddly enough, I'd recently bought a loose Captain America for about 3USD, and I measured up the legs with Canderous, it was a perfect fit! But how would I transfer legs from a Marvel figure to a GI Joe figure? I ended up taking a power saw (careful guys!) and cut both figures in half from the belt down, then glued Capt. America's lower body to the Rock's upper body. It worked like a charm, and the legs still worked perfectly! And I think we all know about the horrible hand that comes with the GI Joe Retaliation Roadblock. I ended up switching it with an old Obi-Wan hand. And here's the finished product.

- Notice the scarring on his face. I tried to match it up as closely with the game Canderous as possible.

- Notice the tattoo and "hairy" arms...

Thanks guys. Your compliments really mean alot to me! I realized that everyone thinks he's not wearing pants, so I took your advice and painted it a more yellow. The pics are now updated. Let me know what you think :D

Nice work on the mix and straps. The paint on that head cast looks good as well.

Love that figure you made from Winter Soldier! Great job hard sculpting that head into something new! Jaina looks perfect! Really nice work on her and I love that Lady Jaye head for her.

Thanks for all the comments guys :D

Awesome work man, can't wait to see the completed kotor team! I also saved Juhani for last, I'm still working on mine though. Canderous' pants color also gave me some trouble, such an odd shade to try to replicate and you did a great job with it. I have to ask, how did you pull off his blaster so well? What's it made of, I can't make it out? And the blaster really rests in his hands well, I might have to re visit this on my version.

Thanks, man! :D It's great seeing you back on ISY, were you really busy?
You can expect pics of Juhani today, and the Kotor team today or tomorrow!
It's funny really, for the blaster. I was stuck after finishing up Canderous, cuz I had no idea how to make his repeating blaster. But then I remembered an old "GI Joe" (not really GI Joe, but those really cheap 5POA military toys that come with loads of guns) that had a chain gun. I realized the front of it looked just like Canderous' blaster, and so I cut it off, and used the remaining pieces to finish it off. Sorry I don't have pics of the original gun :\ The funny thing is is that the gun was made of this really soft plastic that retains its form but was able to be cut up really easily (like butter, really), which is why Canderous can hold it so well, since its so light.

I think I know what kind of 'GI Joe' figures you're talking about, I've seen them at Dollar General and Dollar Tree stores before. I'll have to look around for them and pay closer attention to the accessories. And yes, I've been keeping pretty busy lately but I just completed a new batch of customs which I hope to share soon.

Hahaha, that's one way to put it.

As promised, here's the last crew member of the Knights of the Old Republic videogame:
Pictures of the entire crew together are coming tomorrow. Stay tuned! :D

Juhani
- honestly, I was never very fond of Juhani's character, and that's the only reason why I saved her for last...kinda sad really, but I think she wouldn't have turned out the way she did if I made her first
- as you can see from the WIP pic, I cut away all of Scarlett's hair, then took a sandpaper to her head and made her bald

It took a year and a half, and it's finally DONE! I never thought I'd see the day, but here are all of the KOTOR crew members, along with Malak, Bandon, and the Dark Jedi. Hope you guys like these group shots.

I also did a little update to Revan. He now has a swap-able head to match the face I had for him in KOTOR. Those who played the game should know this face. I may post more photos of this here tomorrow, but if you're really curious, there are more photos of Revan on my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/CloneTrooprs-Customs/174144516097873

Let me know which one is your favorite. :D

Great work on these! Looks like Hasbro has their base models for mass production of the full KOTOR line now. ;) But what about Fem Revan? For those of us who chose a female main character in KOTOR and KOTOR II? Any plans to do one? I'd love to see you tackle the characters of Mass Effect next, but no pressure. Great group shots!

HAHAH, if only Hasbro would come out with official versions :D
I actually never played as female Revan, but I can totally see why that would be a very cool figure to make. Hmmm....you may have just created my inspiration for a new custom. ;)
However, I actually did do a female Exile from KOTOR II abit back. It's on page 11.

And, hahah don't kill me, but I've never played Mass Effect. I've heard good things about it though.

Post by: CloneTroopr on February 27, 2014, 11:28:44 PM
Hi, thought I'd share a WIP pic of what I've been up to now that I'm done with the KOTOR companions.

Here's the Zabrak Jedi Master that fought epically and died in one of the Old Republic trailers.

Let me say this from the get-go, he will not be completely accurate to the trailer. I will update with more WIP pics as they come.

- He's made from the old legs of my Canderous custom before I sawed them off, along with the upper body of Captain America.
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag83/CloneTroopr/DSCN9939_zpsf0045ba3.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/CloneTroopr/media/DSCN9939_zpsf0045ba3.jpg.html)
- His head is Capt. America's head, with the mask cut off. I took a sandpaper to the head to smooth it out then proceeded to make my own horns.

- I used the same kinds of plastic I used for T3-M4 to make his armor

- Here's a pic of it with a metallic green wash

I had to calculate the exact positions of where each horn was supposed to go on his head, hence the 3-D matrices and graphs...
Hahah, just kidding, it was some old Linear Algebra homework from the uni.

Here's another WIP update on another project of mine:

Satele Shan

Hope you're as excited as I am! Please let me know what you think! :D

Here's what I have so far:
The head was a real pain to do, with her braids, and all. I ended up using a Scarlett figure. The hair has been cut up to match Satele's, with braids glued on.
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag83/CloneTroopr/Satele%20Shan/DSCN9954_zps2a3f9e77.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/CloneTroopr/media/Satele%20Shan/DSCN9954_zps2a3f9e77.jpg.html)
I put two lightsabers together, with another piece in between, and cut the tips off of the lightsabers, shortened them, then glued the tips back on.
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag83/CloneTroopr/Satele%20Shan/DSCN9955_zps0a4aadfb.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/CloneTroopr/media/Satele%20Shan/DSCN9955_zps0a4aadfb.jpg.html)
I also cut off her heels, so I had to cut the front halves of her feet off as well, shave the tops, then re-glue them higher.
Here's Satele with her basic soft goods. Time to paint! :D
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag83/CloneTroopr/Satele%20Shan/DSCN9957_zps6efd33ab.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/CloneTroopr/media/Satele%20Shan/DSCN9957_zps6efd33ab.jpg.html)

Now I need your help. Should I make her robes gray like the trailer, or brown like the game?

I just can't see why we can't get a few action figures like this every year even with the release of REBELS and Episode VII.

Your Kotor team really came out well! Any plans for the Kotor 2 team? You already have the Exile  ;) 
Satele is looking really nice, the head looks great. I think the brown robes might look a little better than the gray, but that's my personal taste. I can tell it will look great whichever way already.

Honestly, Disney made a bad mistake banning EU figs. Satele would've sold like hotcakes if Hasbro released her.

Here's an update to my WIP with Satele. I have now painted her robes; sliver-gray prevailed over brown; I decided I'm more fond of the robes in the trailers than the game.
I also added her armband and a basic belt.
Time to do her boots next! :D

Just for fun, I'm doing a 2 day reveal, so for today, here's Jedi Battlemaster Kao Cen Darach (Satele's 1st master), but there's also a little teaser of Satele in here as well.
WIP pics are on pg. 17

I'm sure we all remember him from the SWTOR trailers:

...aaanddd here's Satele Shan! I know some of you have been waiting for this, and she's finally done! :D
Let me know what you think please!

Jedi Grandmaster Satele Shan
WIP pics on page 17
Here's some notes on how she was made:
- Soft goods tunic
- Custom-made belt according to pics
- Soft goods boot straps
- Hard-sculpted hair via knife (cutting off excess hair to match pics, etc) with attached braids
- Smoothed chin via sandpaper
- Shaved joints to lessen paint-flaking

That's a great looking Satele, CT. Paint apps look spot on and the use of softgoods worked out really well. The Scarlett figure is a great base figure for any female character.

Master Darach is a great effort, but judging from the pics, I feel it's a bit of a diamant in the rough. Have you thought about using a Maul head instead and sculpt the armour?

Thanks bud :D
I've seen your Ven Zallow, and I can see why you think that Kao is a little "rough on the edges" haha, though I probably should lower the resolution on the camera. In person it's not as rough.
The thing is though, I like to work with what I have, and pretty much, most of my customs (Satele included) are all made from materials I already have on-hand (else this becomes a VERY expensive hobby). I also have
little to no experience with sculpting from clay or sculpey :\ And I did think about Maul's head, but I feel his facial structure doesn't really fit with what I wanted to do, not to mention those pitifully dull horns by Hasbro hahah.

BUT I really appreciate you taking the time out to give me some constructive criticism. It really means alot! Thanks again! :)

Thanks, DaBooma! Those eyes really were a pain in the butt to get right! I used to use a needle dipped in black paint to paint the lashes and a dot of paint for the pupil, but now I just use paint pens (i.e. Gundam marker) to draw it out. The result is much cleaner and more crisp.

Post by: CloneTroopr on January 20, 2015, 03:24:24 PM
My first Star Wars custom figure of the year! Can't believe I haven't posted one since September. This here is Kal Skirata from the Republic Commando novels. I did some researching via Google Images and saw that, though many customizers had made a version of him in his Mandalorian armor (I did too, heheh), there weren't many of him in his civilian clothing. With the limited reference images I had, here's the final product. Enjoy!

Customized holster to fit my custom Westar-34 (with scope). It was mentioned in one of the novels that he had one.

Thanks bro! I couldn't believe how similar the figure looked to Kal too. Didn't take too much modification actually; just some cutting and more painting hehe. Unfortunately, on the Old Republic side of things, I've run out of inspiration T_T. I was thinking of doing Nadia Grell next, but I haven't decided how to go about it. How're the TOR figs coming along on your end? :)

It is pretty nice, what head is that on Kal by the way? I need one for mine, and I think this is by far the best out there. Nadia would be cool, I hope you end up working on it I'd love to see it. I've got inspiration for some stuff now (Lana Beniko and Reborn Revan maybe even in 6 inch form) just little time, hopefully I can update soon.

Title: Re: 05/26/2015: CloneTroopr's Customs: 501st Jet Trooper <SWBFII>
Post by: CloneTroopr on May 26, 2015, 01:15:43 AM
Haven’t posted a custom in a while, but here we go! This is the 501st Jet Trooper from the Star Wars Battlefront II videogame. When I first played the game, I knew I wanted a figure of this trooper. When I was finally able to get my hands on the Hasbro Battlefront II trooper pack, I was disappointed with the poor articulation of the figure, as well as how the figure couldn’t even hold the EMP blaster properly. After so long, I finally decided it was time I upgraded the figure. I took a 501st trooper from the TAC line and got to work. I added a layer to the neck joint and replaced the regular 501st trooper helmet with the one from the Hasbro version of the jet trooper. I also customized the helmet’s visor from neon green to a shiny, reflective, metallic green. I flipped the belt and added gray to the belt and lower abdomen plate like on the original figure. I also painted the outline of the shoulder plates white, just like in the game. I then replaced the left hand with the hand from another trooper that was open (painted white), so that the EMP blaster could properly rest on his hand. I also took the jetpack, cut off the peg, and glued it onto the back of the figure. Finally, I added a few finishing touches of paint and tried to copy the weathering on the original figure. I hope you like it! :D

Post by: CloneTroopr on June 04, 2015, 05:16:02 PM
Hi all!
Here’s my realistic interpretation of Clone Commando Gregor from The Clone Wars TV show! A lot of work was put into this figure. I started out with a loose, super-articulated Fixer that I bought off ebay that came with no accessories. I first made the figure all white, with a combo of some paint scraping and just white paint. I gave him a dirty white wash to match his appearance in the show. The visor was also cut to be bigger than the original figure’s, so that it would match up with how Delta Squad appeared in the videogame. The tally marks and his emblem were particularly tricky to pull off. I also had to make him a custom backpack. Obviously, it looks nothing like his actual one, but I like how mine turned out. Hey, we work with what we have right? :P I also added all of the black outlining and yellow trim.
I hope you like how he turned out! :)

Post by: CloneTroopr on October 04, 2015, 06:39:47 PM
Hello there! I haven’t updated in quite a while it seems. Been a bit busy with non-SW customs, but here we go!
The Imperial Commando, the next stage of the Republic Commandos, wasn’t something that was explored much in the EU. The only “no-longer” canon source we had of the Imperial Commandos was a novel and its dark cover art. The features of the armor were purposely hard to see. The only other time we got to see Imperial Commandos was in the Force Unleashed video game. The Imperial Commando armor was an unlockable costume.
With so few reference images to choose from, and the variability in design, it’s no wonder that I couldn’t find one version of this armor in custom action figure form. This was all I had to work with.
I modified a super-articulated Republic Commando action figure. The helmet has been heavily customized to look more sinister and Stormtrooper-like: the visor was deepened, vents were added, the breath vents were made bigger, etc. I also scratch-built a backpack for the figure from transparent plastic.
What I’m most proud of, however, is the vibroknife that is attached to the figure’s fist plate. In the game, the player could quickly eject a vibroknife from the knuckle plate to take down an enemy. To reflect this, I made a small vibroknife that could be attached or removed from the figure.
I hope you like my interpretation of the Imperial Commando! If you’d like to see some Work-In-Progress pictures, you can check out my Facebook Page:

To celebrate the new movie, here's a TFA related customization! :)

Not so much a custom as a fix-up I did to the Rey (Jakku) 3.75" Walmart exclusive figure.

- cut off, shortened, and thinned hair on the sides
- filled out pupils
- painted silver details on backpack
- painted goggles

Enjoy! :)

Remember the really cool Sith Acolytes from the Old Republic game trailers? I found a head that someone made and was selling online, and knew I had to use it to make this figure. It came in a flesh color, which was rather chuckle-worthy, but I definitely had fun making this figure. The most complicated part, surprisingly, was the cloak. I considered taking Jedi cloak and dying it black, but I figured it was too much trouble. The cloak on this figure is actually made from 3 piecies of cloth. The hood is a separate piece, as are the the body section and the sleeves. I'm also all out of red lightsabers to use for customs, so I took the red missile from the BB-8 3-pack, and used it to make a lightsaber. Enjoy! I definitely had fun taking these pictures.

That sith acolyte Is sweeeeeet!!! That Duke accelerator suit works well, great thinking! Also I suggest using "plastruct rods" (neon red) to make custom lightsaber blades I've had great results. Especially when red lightsabers are so hard to come by. I use those and run a dremel at the tips (one side i round off the other end I make a small tip) to make them removable from the hilts. You can use fodder for hilts or use "greenstuff" to sculpt your own. Keep up the great work. Really digging it! ;)

GI Joe figs work great! Hope you can find the Scarlett figure in your bin, if you can't, you should be able to get one off ebay for not too much. The 25th Anniversary Scarlett is a great base figure for female characters in general :D

Nadia's one of the characters in the Star Wars: The Old Republic video game that introduced us to a new species called Sarkhai. Sarkhai had a tradition of face-painting to scare off predators.

The hair was "hard-sculpted" like my Satele and Kira figures. Robe is soft-goods, and the belt is sheet metal. The saber was made from the plastic missiles that came with the Zeb/Chopper 2-pack, and another missile for the hilt. Enjoy :)

Obviously, others have done this head-swap before, but I couldn't get my hands on the 5POA figure that came with this head. A seller on eBay is selling high-quality, unpainted recasts of these heads for a fair price, so I bought one, and painted the eyes, brows, and hair. Enjoy, and May the Fourth Be With You! :)

Post by: CloneTroopr on May 24, 2016, 11:28:08 PM
Seen quite a few people make super articulated versions of the 3.75" Han Solo from Episode 7, and I couldn't help but make my own. However, I do have to credit the inspiration to BlackThorne, since it was his rendition that finally pushed me to make my own version. I used a Endor Han Walmart Exclusive Black Series 3.75" figure and an Episode VII Han Solo 3.75" 5 POA figure from the Build-A-Weapon line. Enjoy
:)

Ball-joint at the neck was sanded down to fit the head, and I added a thigh strap to the holster. Painted the boots, arms, hair, and pistol grip.

Basically, a Galactic Marine and a Sith Trooper Helmet :) It's a Lego Sith Trooper helmet filled in so it fits on a figure's neck peg.
You can get the helmet here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191921853186 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575055288&toolid=10001&campid=5337373868&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F191921853186)

You can get both from jokabofe on eBay. Link should be a few posts up.

Thanks :)

=============================================================

3 Custom jobs to show today :)

1) Resistance Rey - painted the jacket and sleeves gray, added a satchel
2) FN-2187 - Finn's head with ball socket made bigger to accommodate the stormtrooper ball joint
3) Rey (Finn's Jacket) - seen briefly in the Force Awakens - gave the figure Finn's arms (shortened) with Rey's hands along with Finn's jacket, thinned the hair on the sides

Enjoy :)

Thanks guys :)

Here's a custom I'd had on the shelf for awhile, but didn't get around to showing. He's based off of his appearance in the Revenge of the Sith videogame. The blades I made are sheet metal; probably wasn't the greatest idea because I need to be really careful with it incase I take out my own eye with the toy. O_o

Title: Re: 11/09/2016: CloneTroopr's Customs: K-2SO <Rogue One>
Post by: CloneTroopr on November 09, 2016, 10:04:32 PM
When I opened the K-2SO, I was surprised that the figure had all ball-joints. It was almost a tease showing us what could have been back in the Vintage Collection. Star Wars 3.75" collecting has definitely changed in the past few years. But I'm not here to complain. :)

I gave the 6POA K-2SO  more articulation. He now has joints in the elbows, knees, and ankles, along with the original neck, head, shoulder, and hip joints, which totals to 12 points of articulation. Enjoy! :)

Amazing work! What did you use for the joints?

I saw a guy on instagram who used small revoltech joints for his K2SO, but I don't have any spare revoltech joints lying around. Haha. I've been itching to find a way to articulate K2SO. His lack of more than 6 (double jointed neck!) Points of articulation is an insult! hahaha!

I didn't realize this marks my 50th custom here on Imperial Shipyards! Shocking to think it's been so long.

Enjoy :) The design is originally from the Revenge of the Sith videogame for the PS2 back in the day (reference photo is from the Battlefront 2 mod)

Painted up a green Clone Commander from the ROTS line in 501st colors, removed the pauldron, added the antennae, and made a custom rifle.

Here's another Old Republic character from the expansions. :) Used soft-goods for the tunic and skirt, and sculpted the hair. I haven't sculpted hair using clay in a long time (since my Carth Onasi figure). Enjoy! :)

Thanks guys, yeah I am a bit sad that Satele wasn't voted in. Seeing as how the Old Republic story is still continuing through expansions to the game almost every year, I dunno why they haven't made any figures from it. Lana would have been a great choice since she's one of the main characters.

I'm back! ;D Realized I haven't posted in awhile. Haven't had much customizing inspiration on the Star Wars end of things.

With the understanding that there are limitations with factory painting with such a small scale, I was really disappointed with the paintjob of the porg that came with the Chewbacca figure. I decided to do my own painted versions. Enjoy! :)

Here's HK-55 from Star Wars: The Old Republic: "Knights of the Fallen Empire" expansion. He's almost a total repaint along with some extra goodies added. Enjoy! Added a few photos with Lana Beniko as well.

I agree with Tamer - Your HK-55 looks brilliant! I love these metallic paint apps! The choice of colors is very well done. Knights of the Old Republic is one of my favourite videogames. But I haven't played Star Wars:The Old Republic, yet.
I always loved the design of the HK series. And your HK-55 looks just so stunning! I really like the added antenna, too! Also the quality of your pictures is excellent!

Did you use TLC BAD HK-47 or HK-50 for your custom?


Thank you so much for sharing! Your customs are always a treat to look at and very inspiring!

Hi Philip,
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really enjoyed putting him together. I got a new camera recently; I really had to try to see if it made a big difference with the pictures. Looks like it worked for you hehe.
I used an HK-50 for this custom.
You really should try the Old Republic, there is so much content to play and enjoy! 😁

Yes, it did! The sharpness of your pictures is stunning! My favourite pics are HK-55 aiming and HK-55 next to Lana Beniko!

It was the best decision to use HK-50 since it's still available at tunghori's for example. I remember when he sold 5 of them at once and I got them for $14 back then. I still have 6 units of HK-50 left and I would love to repaint a couple of them. I thought of painting one of them in black/silver...
I just cannot stop loking at your HK-55 - the metal effects just turned out so well!

Thanks for the recommendation! My brother and a friend of mine used to play it. And as soon as I got more time, again, I'll definitely try SWTOR, too!

Glad to hear you appreciate it so much!:) The chest part seems to be some sort of faintly glowing light panel/circle. I tried to make it as true to the reference pictures as possible.

Hard to believe as well that I've hit 50+ customs. It doesn't feel like it.  ;D

This is one of my characters in the Star Wars the Old Republic videogame.
Axialus was a Chiss Jedi Consular (Jedi Shadow), a member of the Jedi Council, and only one of a few in history to be named Barsen'thor (Warden of the Jedi Order).

Sculpted hair, soft-goods tunic, custom lightsaber, etc. Made from a BossFightStudio Blank.

Title: Re: 05/26/2015: CloneTroopr's Customs: 501st Jet Trooper <SWBFII>

Quote from: CloneTroopr on May 26, 2015, 01:15:43 AM
Haven’t posted a custom in a while, but here we go! This is the 501st Jet Trooper from the Star Wars Battlefront II videogame. When I first played the game, I knew I wanted a figure of this trooper. When I was finally able to get my hands on the Hasbro Battlefront II trooper pack, I was disappointed with the poor articulation of the figure, as well as how the figure couldn’t even hold the EMP blaster properly. After so long, I finally decided it was time I upgraded the figure. I took a 501st trooper from the TAC line and got to work. I added a layer to the neck joint and replaced the regular 501st trooper helmet with the one from the Hasbro version of the jet trooper. I also customized the helmet’s visor from neon green to a shiny, reflective, metallic green. I flipped the belt and added gray to the belt and lower abdomen plate like on the original figure. I also painted the outline of the shoulder plates white, just like in the game. I then replaced the left hand with the hand from another trooper that was open (painted white), so that the EMP blaster could properly rest on his hand. I also took the jetpack, cut off the peg, and glued it onto the back of the figure. Finally, I added a few finishing touches of paint and tried to copy the weathering on the original figure. I hope you like it! :D


http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=7528.285


Again, thank you so much for the advice and suggestions for future projects, mate! Your Jet Trooper looks excellent! I would've updated just the visor in metallic green, but using the 501st Legion Trooper based on ROTS #41 is a briliant idea of yours! You even added these straps seen in the game to hold the jetpack! Again, your skills are most impressive! Love all your custom projects!

100/100

Add: I also like the picture in front of the hallway in Tantive IV - such a great map! That TAC Battle Pack was a great one, too!

Much respect from Germany!

Facial paint for the new Luke Skywalker (Crait) Vintage Collection figure was definitely a bit wonky. I repainted the hair, beard, brows, and pupils to better match Mark Hamill's likeness. It helped that the facial sculpt is actually quite spot-on. I've included a "before" picture too. Enjoy! 0/ Loving this figure.

This figure I've created utilizes a Boss Fight Studio blank. The cape is removable. The figure wields a saberspear. Enjoy!

I was talking about SWTOR just yesterday. WOW! I just rubbed my eyes. Is this real? And if so I got one question: Is his armour sculpted? And did you make his lightsaber yourself, too?
I've seen Knights from Schleich with similar armour, but this custom of yours is spot on. What a brilliant way to knock thos year off the park. I think I can pack my bag and leave with the stuff I was about to post before the year ends. Your customs never fail to impress me to the most!

Thank you for the kind words! 😎 The lightsaber is custom and the mask is sculpted over the face. The body is actually a Boss Fight Studios figure, with custom softgoods and some paint. Glad you like it!

Boss Fight Studio figures are amazing for customs🙂 The blade and emitter is the butt-end of an effect piece from an old sw figure, and the handle is the Aayla Secura saber.

Post by: CloneTroopr on May 25, 2020, 08:48:13 PM
Hi! :) Here's my first full custom to show for 2020. Canderous Ordo, the Mandalorian first introduced in the Knights of the Old Republic video game, also made an appearance as a collectible character in the Galaxy of Heroes mobile game. I've done a Canderous back in 2016 (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=7528.msg169879#msg169879) based on his appearance in KOTOR, but the character does sport holstered dual pistols in the mobile game. My new version takes inspiration from this appearance. Enjoy! I used a top half of a Boss Fight Studios blank figure and the bottom half of a Boss Fight Studios Knight of Accord figure, filed off the front of the hair to give him a higher bare forehead, and sculpted hair on top. The vest is once again soft-goods. I decided against painting his pants tan this time. Last time it came off a bit naked looking...

When I saw your post yesterday, I celebrated it very much! But I couldn't comment right away, because I had to go. Such a brilliant recipe! I agree with previous comments - the tattoo Looks brilliant! So does the hair you sculpted! Your second Canderous looks spot on! Thanks for sharing the full Story, too! The biggest surprise to me was that he's featured in the Galaxy of Heroes mobile game! So Di$ney do not ignore the KotOR era completely. The latest Black Series releases of Revan are solid proof. Let's Keep fingers crossed we'll get Revan in TVC, too! A 3-Pack with photo-real Bastila, all-new Darth Malak and HK-47 (straight repack) would be fantastic, but that's a different topic.
You know there aren't many people on Earth with such an extended custom KotOR Collection.
You got the best in my opinion. You caught the likeness on all of them. Ordo is one more, buddy.
He's brutally amazing!

10/10


P.S.: How do you embed a link in a word? Need to figure that out...

Post by: CloneTroopr on June 07, 2020, 09:22:07 PM
One of my first customs was a Darth Revan figure back in 2012, but I've never really gotten over how beautiful the figure sculpt is on the official figure. My only gripe really was the mask being so inaccurate (Hasbro based it off a mod, not the actual mask (http://www.oafe.net/blog/2008/05/darth-revan-addendum/)). After so many years I finally caved and got a Revan for a "reasonable" bid off eBay, took the head off my custom figure, drilled the peg hole much bigger, and popped it onto the Hasbro version. I also modified my sculpted mask further and repainted it. Enjoy!

Title: Re: 04/02/2021: CloneTroopr's Customs: Eternal Alliance Heavy Skytrooper (SWTOR)
Post by: CloneTroopr on April 02, 2021, 11:37:16 AM
Hi! :) To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Star Wars: The Old Republic videogame, here's my first custom of the year!

Eternal Alliance Heavy Skytrooper
Skytroopers were the symbol of the Zakuulan Eternal Empire in the Old Republic era. Co-opted by the Alliance, these droids could be seen guarding Alliance bases on planets like Iokath.

This is my first time using Aves Fixit Sculpt and I'm really happy with how the head turned out. As the container label promises, the material turns fully rock-hard after 24 hours. I'd previously been using an inferior clay, and it would only work for small things like sculping hair. I'm super excited because this is going to expand the possibilities for me as a customizer from here on! Enjoy!

You know when I discovered the ROTS line back in 2005 I felt a kind of magic I've never felt before. I pretty much got to know the Star Wars characters through the figures. Especially all the different Clone Trooper versions lit my Star Wars fever on fire!
And when I saw your Heavy Skytrooper custom yesterday I felt the same magic again and I hadn't felt that magic since 2008 or so.
Much respect for that sculpting work! I'm really glad that you're so happy with the sculpting material! This custom of yours and my first attempt on Darth Sion encourages me to finally make a Sith Trooper with some sculpting as well.
Eternal Alliance sounds really good, too! I so need to play SWToR some time soon. So much stuff yet to discover! Also the jet backpack looks great and I really like the golden paint you gave him!
And sorry for my late reply.

Hehe funny thing, I started the collecting game with a Clone Trooper focus! If you do ever get a chance to play SWTOR I think you will really enjoy it! So much content! And it does serve as an endless inspiration for customs!
And yes, I say go for making that Sith Trooper custom!

Yup, my jaw stayed dropped 'til my mouth went dry...WOW! What a cool costume! I got to admit I like the costume you gave him better than the one in the reference pictures. Such an insanely well done custom! The headsculpt looks spot on! Can't get enough of looking at your custom figure! And this is the exact reason why I'm here and love returning every single day. Your work of art is such an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing it here! I'm yet again heavily impressed by your Sith Marauder!

That trooper turned out really well! Great job on the helmet sculpt - work you should be proud of, for sure. Is the body built around an Iron Man figure of some version?

Thanks! Actually it's a Fortnite figure 😆


Yeah, I can see it now - Fortnite Carbide. I guess the fact I didn't see it means you pulled off the transformation really well:)  I like how Aenaeus Fel turned out as well. The sculpting is really excellent and the paint job on his tattoos is brilliant. I bet you are pretty proud of this figure, and you should be.

Hi! :)

Here's my work-in-progress Mandalorian Bounty Hunter character, Maysh Fel, from the SWTOR game. Painted the eyes, brows, and lips. Sculpted the hair and chest armor. It's my first time sculpting armor. This has been really fun so far! Hope you like it!

I'll definitely be posting more pictures as I make progress on this.

Maysh joins the galaxy-wide Great Hunt for fame and fortune, but quickly finds companionship and identity as she hunts her prey...

The paint scheme looks really nice - very accurate to the reference image! Her hair looks super awesome, so much respect for your sculpting skills! I wouldn't bother so much with the time it took you to finish her. The result speaks for itself. Her helmet reminds me a little of a Power Rangers design, but I think she fits perfectly into the Star Wars universe!

Overall a great sculpting project! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Post by: CloneTroopr on December 03, 2021, 03:06:23 AM
Bit by the customizing bug, back with another!

I've recently been fascinated by the Legacy era of the old expanded universe stories and have started to fill out my collection with figures from those elusive comic packs.

Instead of getting the official Darth Talon figure however, I decided to make Darth Talon in Battle Armor! Obviously she never wears this in the comics, but my custom has design similarities to several images:
The middle one from this cancelled game's concept art:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLXClBt84pPhwKZe0r2eSXmuTz8GcFKO3zMkLpiWwaW24HXSiVfffX912BA0mlyK9nBcn85vR2yEnBdUq5Ax9AVbWVtj51awEAyRrDGvC7TQXcrcW_rMXsT649bSCXp8vAZQcyrCz4NY8j1RkaazdM9YlA=w800-h519-no?authuser=0)
as well as:

and the armor of her colleague Darth Nihl:

And here she is!

As Darth Talon's lekku sit much wider apart than Aayla's (base figure), I had to get a little creative to prop the head tails further.
The tattoos were a lot of fun to add as well!

As a bonus, I just received Legacy's Imperial Knight Sigel Dare in the mail, and her eyes really freaked me out.
Did some work on her to fix it:

She is just freaking great! I mean awesome. Love seeing this version of her.

Man, I have never seen her in so many different variations. Nice.

I know everyone likes her in her skimpy outfit, but this seems so much more realistic to go into battle with.

I agree, Sigel Dare's eyes look much better now. And I'm absolutely blown away by your Darth Talon!
Thanks for sharing the concept art for her! Which game was it supposed to be for? I can't remember any cancelled game except for 1313.
So you used the ROTS Aayla Secure from 2005 as base for Talon, right?
Her costume turned out fantastic and her skin & tattoos look excellent! Nice job!

Thank you! You got it exactly, I wanted to create an outfit for her where I could actually see her going into battle against the forces of good 😂

Thank you!!! It's from a cancelled Darth Maul game that was being developed by Red Fly around the time 1313 was being worked on
Yep, the base figure is the one you mentioned exactly! It was sitting in my box of custom fodder ever since I got the Vintage Collection Aayla figure to replace it

Started reading the Legacy comics, having a lot of fun so far!
Decided I needed more of Darth Krayt's "One Sith", so I am adding Darth Wyyrlok to fight alongside my Darth Talon!

Most challenging part of doing these "One Sith" figures are their Sith tattoos.

Darth Maladi

Started with a Black Widow body and a Boss Fight Studios' blank head.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLVHajoemAV19wSYAXQ_2FDQVug7z0GyPXjGYB6ftkblXH5bJRBWBSZKKVcHzxFqvK37PV5ArorH17GtaGJYxVYEyaaQO30EWe0U0HcIgoolqH2Dmc69hjFOLcoEgPQ_UPruxnwOi1Ky-_NoAPQTKjE7Ew=w706-h937-no?authuser=0)

Her tattoos were significantly easier than Talon's and Wyrrlok's.
The most challenging part was getting the right soft goods for her and getting them to sit naturally on the figure.
I also sculpted her headgear.
I'm really happy with how she turned out.
Here she is!!!

Finishing off the main "One Sith" with one of Krayt's Hands...
Darth Nihl

This guy is really expensive online. I've been watching it for the past month now but no luck. Decided I'd better just make my own...

From all the pictures online, I can tell that the Hasbro Darth Nihl is a great figure. The only complaint I have is that they went with one of the other reference images for his hair. I decided to go with the hair he had in his first comic appearance, which I feel is much more menacing. The armor I based off of the second image.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLV_3W97s0FtZF9YrzEl85lcoj_yQ18cG0QPd_h_ZjLRpnGL670pyQB8CfKKsNJUdht4RpyrJwri9rlcBMOFUDYhtJCV0TtONy3g_lT22Ed4fNMDzESQqmMHvNhLOkogGTg4eboni1rIHQ5NiBPfBNaMOw=w955-h424-no?authuser=0)

This was challenging but fun to make, sculpted almost everything over a Boss Fight Studio blank figure (only additional unsculpted part of the figure is the lower piece of the hair in the back).

Yet, again I'm late to the comment party...but now I can leave my thought about all of your recent One Sith customs:

Darth Talon (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=7528.msg227128#msg227128): Thanks for your answer! I'm going to customize a Talon based on TVC's Aayla Secura. That's an interesting intel about a cancelled Maul game. Makes me wonder what else was cancelled. Gaming has become quite frustrating when it comes to Star Wars. But that's a different topic. Looking back at your Sith Collection is nothing less but mind-blowing! It's amazing what you can do out of the figs in your fodder bin!

Darth Wyyrlok (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=7528.msg227440#msg227440): I can imagine that those Sith tattoos are quite challenging. But you did a great job on them! When I first saw your post, I already wanted to comment on it, but it has been a little rough lately. The reference image is shown right on top now and when I first saw the second reference image and then I scrolled down to the picture you took, I thought this figure was pulled off right from that reference image. Perfect execution I say!


Darth Maladi (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=7528.msg227675#msg227675): Now, that is some impressive work on her head, face and costume! Your work on softgoods is truly impressive. You made her costume look sooo good and even maintained the articulation of Back Widow. That's a figure, which I couldn't find in 3.75" on ebay Germany. I think those MARVEL figures were quite rare here anyways. I love the tattoos on her arms. You did a splendid job on all of them! Her lightsaber looks interesting as well. The blade must be from Kylo Ren's sword, but is the hilt as well? It looks so exciting, but I'm not sure if it is Kylo's.
She looks so awesome next to Darth Talon!

Darth Nihl (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=7528.msg227707#msg227707): Well, this one impresses me most sculptingwise...and I don't even find time to sculpt a lightsaber hilt for the custom I found on ebay (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=10186.msg227002#msg227002)!
You pay such close attention to detail and I think you did a better job than Hasbro back then. I mean a custom based on a Boss Fight figure is an advanced start already! I think it was a great choice also because Mr Nihl was said to be a tall guy and B.F. figures are a little taller - perfect 1/18 scale.
But your sculpting skills are something else. I mean his hair just looks so good. It's my favorite detail on him and I think you made the right choice. The armor you sculpted for him looks perfect, too!
And much respect for the paintjob on his face! I'm beyond impressed by your work!

Thank you very much for sharing your customs with us! Looking at Darth Wyyrlok gave me some nostalgia of the time when I read the books about Darth Bane and his masters of the Sith Academy.

I like how you make some of the most expensive figures on the secondary market as custom figure and they look even better than Hasbro's versions. Isn't that what customizing is all about if Hasbro don't saturate the market? That feeling must be awesome!

Much respect from Germany!

Really appreciate that you always take the time to give comments on each of my customs! Hopefully things are looking up for you; you mentioned your were in a bit of a rough patch 😞

Making Talon off the TVC Aayla is a great idea! I'm sure it will be easier to get ahold of the figure since they're releasing that repaint.

I had the most fun with Wyyrlok's tattoos!

Hm...it might make this easier for you to find the Black Widow figure: the black widow figure I used is from the Gamerverse 2-pack with Street Fighter Ryu.

I'm really glad you noticed the hair sculpting for Nihl, I had a lot of fun with that!

Hehe my original intention with customizing was to fill in spaces in my collection for figures that were out of my price range, I just had to remind myself of that with Nihl 😂😂 I am relieved that I don't have to check everyday anymore for a new Nihl listing online

Those two lines immediately stuck with me. After fighting through imperials guarding the creepy, sad Temple ruins, encountering this character topped off the whole experience.

When the Force Unleashed came out, I didn't have the next gen consoles, so bought this game on PS2. Luckily did, because they had extra levels and exclusive characters. Darth Desolous was one of the Jedi Trials that Starkiller had to go through. What a menacing character.

Here's Darth Desolous:

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLVJCKryGwgxPp2LPXCvQt_ujES8OySMQm1D2KMYph8751pKB6mxPT2yevFuBos3nOOMut1h8hwBcSL5o_4OPo_dmOQTeISzRAaW0Y2Ro9AF4SkuMwbXFXUxaAETOF-OAWuONet6ZiYAyeyGYYoUAWxSaA=s1082-no)

The figure is mainly a Revenge of the Sith Utapauan  Warrior. I cut off the crown from the headpiece then glued it to the head. The lightsaber hilt is a piece cut from the figure's staff. For the collar, I used soft goods. The cape is from a 5POA Chirrut Imwe figure. Enjoy!

Post by: CloneTroopr on March 12, 2022, 02:04:29 AM
Emperor Roan Fel

I bought an extra Imperial Knight Antares Draco figure to customize into Roan Fel. In the final act of the Legacy comic run, Fel wore a variation of the Imperial Knight armor with an additional collar boasting the Imperial symbol.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLXQEAVBAS3BoSbLvkRLomEdxBZw_6JOQwk3mk6ClT1s4BCBjn1RpzWVcoqJ_nKlXOVjdjjhu9tTjUGH1r6V-dIFoVeS7olXZfuk51hYhyhxvPw2VnZ7XIdKHLUqhxvhTB5-vlHZ6IFXiLuhbukWQ-E6Nw=w804-h707-no)

I saw a custom on worthpoint (https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/star-wars-custom-legacy-emporer-roan-219654238) that used the Starkiller head for a Roan Fel custom, which is ingenious. I took it a step further by sculpting hair over the head to match his hairstyle in the comics.

Additionally, I sculpted the collar on over the armor.

I also made a lightsaber hook for the belt with a corresponding hanger on the hilt so that the hilt could hang from the belt.

Here's the finished product! Referencing another comic panel, I cut his lower robes to be knee-level.

I just wanted to say that you found the perfect headsculpt for this project. Then I read the description and was surprised that it utilizes Galen Marek's head. I didn't recognize it! Kinda embarrassing... Again, your sculpting skills are most impressive as is your growing collection of Comic figures of Krayt's Sith Empire. Thank you also for taking the WIP pictures as well. It's interesting to see the hair all in grey.
Emperor Fel is a character that I didn't know before. He reminds me of Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park on the reference picture. The custom on worthpoint looks nice, but you took this custom to a whole different level. Absolutely brilliant recipe and execution - as always.
Thanks so much for sharing this!

Post by: CloneTroopr on September 08, 2022, 12:12:14 PM
Here's my live-action-styled interpretation of my Old Republic smuggler character Aeriinn Fel. I purchased the head from eBay but had to repaint the eyes and some of the lips/skin because of imperfections. I also painted the hair white.

For the body, I used Cassian Andor. I cut off the collar and painted the jacket and arms white with a black trim.

Then to give it a SWTOR vibe, I added some blue "lights" to the belt and blaster.

 Enjoy!

On theme with my last custom figure, I made my Old Republic Jedi Knight character, Kavyne Fel. For the base, I used Figrin D'an and swapped out the neck and hands. I referenced multiple images of the Jedi in the Deceived trailer to sculpt armor over the body. For the head, I bought and repainted an Andy Lau head. As a bonus, I redid the eyes on my old Kira Carsen custom. This was a really fun one to make! Enjoy!

I agree with Tamer, your latest custom looks phenomenal! Couldn't find much reference material in my 10 second google search, so I'm glad Kavyne Fel appears in the trailer. I think you did an outstanding job sculpting his armor! And the color you chose for its alloy looks splendid! I found out that Mr Dan is mostly a kit-bash, but using him as base for this Jedi custom is plain genius! Thank you so much for sharing this! And also giving us a group photo with all SWTOR customs you've done already. This is one epic custom collection and I'm sure it was fun to make! Good times.

It's been quite awhile but I'm back!  0/

Star Wars Battlefront (2005) Dark Trooper, 3.75-inch

This was a really fun custom to put together and paint, brought back so many memories of playing the old Battlefront 2 game with my brother and friends. Bought some 3D printed parts on Etsy: helmet, shoulder pads, jetpack, and 6x nodes for the chest and knees.

I debated between using a stormtrooper or a clone trooper as the base, because the videogame model shares elements of both, but ended up going with the stormtrooper because of the chest and forearms. I sculpted the two clone trooper pouches on the belt. also had to sculpt a ball socket for the helmet because it had a huge cylindrical hollow area that was too big for any neck joint.

Enjoy!

Haven't posted for awhile but finally got my creative juices flowing again! Should be posting some other things as I complete them.

Here's my custom of "Emperor Valkorion" from Star Wars: The Old Republic's "Knights of the Fallen Empire" expansion. He was first introduced in the "Sacrifice" trailer:

I used a 3D printed kit designed by @mjb_customs on Instagram and modified a Boss Fight Studio blank figure to fit the kit parts. There was some light sculpting needed for the arms/sleeves, and I painted the parts and figure.

I am really happy with how this one turned out 🙂

This is in 3.75" scale.

Enjoy!

*Below I have him pictured with a few of my other customs:

Post by: CloneTroopr on January 11, 2024, 09:38:14 PM
Mandalore the Ultimate from the KOTOR comics
- 3.75 inch scale
- fitted and painted 3D-printed pieces onto a figure
- added soft goods
- sculpted armor for the hands

I made one before (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=7528.msg227070#msg227070) for a family member but with other parts and Mandalore the Indomitable as the base figure. It is, however, pretty hard for me to match the accuracy of 3D printed parts, and I was still missing a Mandalore the Ultimate in my collection.

Really glad to be able to add this along with my Canderous Ordo, Rohlan Dyre, and Demagol (fully 3D printed). The hope is to someday add some Neo-Crusaders into the mix

Enjoy!

Clone Blaze Trooper
This trooper appeared in the Revenge of the Sith PS2 videogame. Obi-Wan fights these troopers off as he tries to escape Utapau after Order 66 is issued.

That game introduced several unique clone designs like the Sniper and Assassin, but the Blaze trooper was always my favorite. I've wanted a figure of this ever since I played that game, and to finally have a 3.75" representation of him is so exciting!

This figure was designed by Skylu 3D Props and printed by Syndicate Customs. I assembled the kit and painted it.

I've also included him with my older custom Sniper and Assassin figures from the same game.

Enjoy!

Looks great! How is the articulation for this guy?

Articulation is really great, ball head, ball shoulder, double jointed elbows, swivel wrists, ball chest, ball hips, double jointed knees, and ball ankles

Wow! That is awesome. The design is really cool, so kudos to Skylu. Really excellent paint job on this guy. I never played the game, but the specialized clones seem pretty fun.

Thanks! That game has a special place in my heart

Kashyyyk Trooper
Much more accurate 3D-printed head on the old 3.75" figure. I painted the helmet and repainted the armor to match the green I used for the helmet 🙂

Enjoy!

You're on fire CloneTroopr! I cannot even catch up commenting  on your latest masterpieces!
Your helmet looks great, such an upgrade to the TAC version with removable face-mask!
The visor and breathing mask look much more accurate and is something I would love to see in the future.
In the best case Hasbro take your upgraded Clone Trooper and put him on a TVC card.
Expect more comments from me on your other customs, soon!
I'm in a hurricane of pressure and emotions right now and things will hopefully turn to the better in a couple weeks.

Darth Jadus (SWTOR)
Member of the Dark Council and Head of Imperial Intelligence, this Sith lived during the Old Republic. The player can meet him in the SWTOR videogame.

The 3D model was created by Solidsoulju. I purchased  the 3D-printed parts and painted and fitted them onto a blank figure. I also added 3 layers of softgoods. I added some bendy wire to the bottom of the softgoods to make it poseable. The lightsaber blade is removable.

Enjoy!

The quality of your customs is beyond my imagination. I really adore your skills and think you're one of the best customizers out there who share their work in public. To me you're one of those customizing legends like Stronox Customs or CustomsForTheKid.
That kit looks amazing! And the quality of your pictures really mirrors the quality of it and how much detail and depth you added to it.
Those 3 Sith together look truly menacing and like hard material nightmares are made of.
Another fantastic addition to your custom collection! Thanks for sharing this mind-blowing piece of SWTOR fan lore!

Thank you so much for your response. Things will be better in a couple weeks, again.

By the way which blank figure bodies do you use? I know those from BOSSfight Studios and their bootlegs from AliExpress. Aren't there some from Marauder's Customs, too?
I don't remember, but think your choice is brilliant!

That's good to hear 🙂

I use Boss Fight Studios 🙂 great quality and superb articulation. My only complaint is that they are in 1:18 scale and not 3.75-inch scale, so they are just a tad bigger than the average Star Wars figure. I usually reserve those blanks for bigger characters

GE-3 Protocol Droid - (KOTOR) Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

This is in 3.75 inch scale.

3D model designed by Skylu 3D Props. Super nostalgic for me when I saw that this was available. So many of these droids are riddled throughout both KOTOR games. I purchased the printed kit, assembled it and painted it. It was a bit fragile though because the file was designed for 6-inch figures, not 3.75, so some of the joints weren't thick enough to withstand much force, and one of the shoulder joints broke. Thankfully I had a spare joint from the HK-47 kit, but I had to modify the shoulder to fit the bigger joint. In the process, I broke the shoulder shell, so I had to repair it by sculpting the missing portion. I've included a pic of the in-progress repair, but now it's pretty hard to tell it was broken. *Phew*

Post by: CloneTroopr on March 14, 2024, 01:45:11 AM
Looks like the stuff from within the last month have been lost 😔 I'll try to repost at some point

Anyway, here's my latest 🙂

Jaraeyla Fel (Darth Nox) - Sith Inquisitor <SWTOR>

She was a slave-turned-Sith that fought her way up the Sith Empire's ranks with the help of dead Sith Lords. This is my last of 8 character classes in Star Wars: The Old Republic. This was probably the most hours I have ever put into a custom figure. It was really hard to get the hair and face right. I restarted SO many times 😅

- sculpted hair, facial scarring, top, and bracers
- painted the entire figure
- added a softgoods skirt
- sealed with Krylon matte spray (first time posting a figure I've done this on)

I need to get my 8 SWTOR characters together in a group shot sometime soon.

Enjoy!

Yeah, sorry about that. I have been having a rough time with our ISP deleteing our forums database. The only thing they can do is go back and do a restore which means we loose a few days of whatever everyone has posted. I hopefully got through to them (this is the third time in as many weeks) that they need to stop doing that.

Anyhow, off to share you latest. She looks great.
