Looks good. I went ahead and used your photobucket codes to post your pics.
All you need do is use the fourth option code they give you (img) and post that directly in your message to show your pics.
Welcome to ISY and I am gonna take one of these great ones to the front page.

Great looking customs! I like your style and the small things you incorperate to each figure gives them a lot of character. Like the damage on the first figure and the fact that he carries a light saber. Did he kill a Jedi or was he once a Jedi? Makes you wonder about him. The mando is also very nicely done. Love the colors and the additional armor on his shoulder. The clon also looks great. Never get tired of that helmet combo and nice mesh of clone and sandtrooper look to him. Welcome to the Yards!

Ok, I'm not a huge fan of Clone or Mando customs (just because I'm not a big PT fan), but man that Mando custom is awesome!! I don't think I've ever seen a Clone Comander binocs used on a Mando helmet. That's pretty cool!!

Very Kool customs I love clone customs that Mando looks super detailed !!!
-
Welcome! I like that Mando.
-
Welcome to the ISYards! Great job on your customs!
-
WOW! Thanks for all of your appreciated and positive feedback and thanks for all the help! Ill be posting more customs as they get done and thanks Tamer for the post on the front page and for the help. And I hope not to bother anyone, but how do you go about getting one of those awesome banners? Do you have to be a certain rank on here or how does that even work?
-
Nice customs. Always enjoy a good Mando. In reference to your question re: banners...you can make one yourself at places like mybannermaker.com for free, or there are some Yarders who will make you one. I did mine myself and I like it just fine.
-
Thanks! And well itd be nice if someone could do that for me because if I did it, it wouldnt be that great.. haha but whoever does them, just message me or reply if you can and itd be greatly appreciated!
-
Great customs man!!! welcome to the yards, can't wait to see more of your awesome work!!!
-
Nice, I very much like the Quareen! And I really like the color scheme for the Mando, it really pops!
-
Sweet!
-
Welcome aboard.....loving that mando :D
-
Caught your Mando on the fp here; nice shades and color choices used there. The orange-tinted visor is a nice touch.
Welcome to the 'Yards! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff here soon--

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know that I have a couple of customs coming up that I am almost done with. I am probably going to post them within the next week or so, but I have a question if any of you could help me. What sealant is best to put on a figure? Ive tried sooooooo many over the years of customizing and ive never really been impressed with any ive tried. Ive tried all different kinds from spray-on to paint-on and most of the ones I have tried, the coats just come off and peel off or leave my figure sticky. So if any of you could help, it would be greatly appreciated so just reply to this post if you have suggestions! Thanks!

One I *just* found and used on the parts of my Secret Santa custom that I painted is from the Vallejo line of paints. My local Hobby Lobby just started carrying the line and has it racked in the same aisle as the models and Testors paints. They are comparatively tiny squeeze bottles, but you don't need much! I used the satin varnish on skin and cloth and I like how it turned out. I'll be getting the gloss varnish to use on some armored figs one of these days.
BTW, I'd missed your thread until today. That's some incredible work!!

I've used a cheap matte spray sealant (from WalMart) as well as Testors dullcote (which you can get in spray can or smaller bottles that can be brushed directly on). I actually think that both work just fine, but I'd give a slight edge to the Testors dullcote (just because of how well it takes the 'shiny-ness' out of your paint apps).
*The key with any sealant is to apply minimally. If you're going to go with a sealant that you paint on with a brush, go 1-2 coats with a small brush; don't try to add that extra coat because you think it'll add more protection. (Actually all it does is add another layer to your joints that will most likely rub off much more easily because of that decision.) When using a spray sealant, be sure to keep the can about 10 inches from the figure/vehicle and spray in one or two even, but light, shots. The greatest trouble I had when I first started using spray sealants was thinking I had to apply them heavily to get the protection I needed, but that is not the case at all. A couple quick, even, sprays on the areas you want protected is all that is necessary.
Hope this helps; and remember: there is no substitute for practice. Get a fig you don't really like, paint it up on the joints, and then test out the sealing procedure on it to get the feel for how you want to apply it. That way, you don't ruin the custom figs you really like later on!

Thanks DocOutlands and JediMerc! I really appreciate the help and the complements! I am actually having surgery tomorrow so I will be all laid up in bed for a while so I will have some time to continue on the customs. Thanks again guys!

Are you talking about your images? Seems like your first post worked out well. We have a tutorial on posting pictures or feel free to contact one of the mods. I hate to think of someone getting frustrated with the smf forum system. I remember that all too well.
Got your video on the front page.
If you are talking about your video not loading here the smf forum system supports bbc code, not html which is what embedding needs. Anyhow hope all that helps a bit.
