Hello Shipyarders, today we are announcing The No Paint Kit Bash Rally 2014. Open to any member of the Shipyards, make/enter anywhere from 1 to 10 figures . This is open to any toy line and any scale you choose. Your entry does not have to be a Star Wars figure, it can be anything from any line (Marvel, JOE, DC, HALO, MOTU, etc) as long as it is a new custom for you that hasn't been shared yet. The idea is to get us thinking about what parts look good together without painting anything. You are allowed to add greeblies, bits, strapping or other "do-dads" as you wish. We would like to see multiple parts added (more than just a head swap) as an entry and when you submit a photo of the figure (up to four images for each entry) we will also need a parts list (recipe) and description of what you have done. Then, after this is over, we can take all the great creations you folks will come up with and replicate them ourselves down the road. This contest will run from now till February 2nd, 2014 at midnight eastern standard time.
For each figure you enter here (in this thread), you will get 1 ticket with your name on it in the hat (well in this case a walker head with my daughter drawing em out when all the entries are in). Meaning the more kit bashes you make the more entries you get for the random drawing. Again, you can enter up to 10 figures. Once again please make sure your entry includes:
1. A picture
2. Your parts recipe
3. Description of how you put them together
The prize list so far (may add a few more down the road):
Amazon Exclusive B.A.D. Pack x1

GENERIC CLONE WARS WEEQUAY PIRATE by Darth Daddy
Head, Cumberbun, and Lower Arms - Shahan Alama
Upper Arms, Torso, Gun, Modified Jacket, and Legs - Hondo Ohnaka
This one only takes a few seconds with a heat gun, I only had to swap out the lower arms and pop him at the waist to add the cummerbund. I used a scissor to modify the jacket and cut along the gold line.

Well that didn't take long! Bravo Brian. That is exactly the idea we had when we decided on this. What a great addition to the ole Ohnaka Gang.
Time to get this one to the front page.
Anyone else have any ideas?

After showing my daughter Brian's great custom she pulled out all her action figures and the kit-bash was on. It is a pretty simple recipe:
BOUNTY HUNTER AYLA SECURA
Head and legs: CW Ayla Secura
Body and arms: CW Scuba Ahsoka
Soft goods: Illum Padme
Pistol: Black Series Mara Jade
Just a quick boil and pop to replace those awful non articulated scuba legs with the articulated Ayla ones (they matched up pretty nice)

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/VALUEDCUSTOMER/ev2_zps038eca8b.png)
I encouraged her to add a holster to go with her pistol, but she was having none of that. We put a rocket pack on her back that looked good too, but she liked the Illum Cloak better. She even wanted to do her own pictures:

By the way, the inside of the walker had too many nooks and crannies so I decided this was the better way to go.

Thank you Clint we had great fun. We have more parts left after tearing apart the Scuba Ahsoka and Ayla.
I look forward to seeing what other combinations folks put together.

Hello everyone!
It has been a while since I've posted any of my work...I try to divide my time equally between my Transformers customs, and my Star Wars projects...turns out...I'm on a major Star Wars bender right now...not to mention, my wife and I recently had a baby, so my total time alotted for this kind of stuff has been neutered.
Anyways, I would like to submit an entry for this contest...

I used a Clone Wars Savage Opress for the upper torso, arms, and head.
The legs came from a Crysis 2 Stalker figure I bought on clearance at Target like 3 years ago.
The loin cloth thingy and outer robes came from an ROTS Anakin Skywalker figure.
The lightsabers came from a pile of lightsabers in my parts bin.
I used a dremel to cut the Crysis figure just above the pelvis. I then installed a ball joint that the Opress upper torso would accept.
The only other thing I really modded was the tattered edges on the cloak...just a trusty pair of scissors for that.
Enjoy!
-
Wow, that is one sweet Cyborg Savage. Look for that to be on our front page soon. I can see folks trying to find the legs you used to make one of these or a Maul version!

Thank you! I had been wanting to do this figure for a while, and thought this would be the perfect opportunity!
The hardest part was being patient and trying to find the perfect legs...it was just a lot of looking through toy departments at all kinds of action figures for something that looked right.
Those Crysis figures clearnaced out a while ago, so it shouldn't be too hard for folks to pick them up on the cheap.
-
Oh yeah, I like that one.
-
Cyborg Savage looks awesome! Great choice on those legs!

Spent some father/son time on Sunday putting together some simple kitbash customs for your perusal, yardbirds!
First, a rebel special ops officer, made with Mara Jade's body, head from Scarlett, a fleet trooper helmet, CW Aayla Secura breathing apparatus, goggles and armor, and knife from Yarna.
(http://i1167.photobucket.com/albums/q622/Laojax/63DAFC38-C919-4B69-8A19-F2A6C9E6F706-705-000000E55AB14424_zps1d25af60.jpg)

Two more in the above pic, ARF trooper with sandtrooper pauldron, Boussh cape, and vibroaxe (a variation on a previous figure, a rogue clone who disobeyed Order 66, worked as a mercenary/bounty hunter, and later joined the fledgling rebellion. Also one the little one cooked up, Phase II CW clone with the helmet from a sullustan x-wing pilot, backpack from Obi-Wan.
(http://i1167.photobucket.com/albums/q622/Laojax/574C2D7D-C431-410B-B154-9EE1D331DC6E-705-000000E57208614E_zpse2bb0c29.jpg)
And a baby Tusken Raider, with the helmet from the mon cal B-wing pilot. Liam says he wants to be a spy for the Empire. Next, a weequay warlord, body of Typho, (I imagined him recruiting an army of Ewoks, manipulating them with his fertility idol like Belloq in Raiders.
(http://i1167.photobucket.com/albums/q622/Laojax/E9D49CC5-CEB9-47D1-9245-7E41F13C8676-705-000000E57A126644_zps751ca82f.jpg)
Lastly, a cold-weather female operative, Ilum Padme body with Gen.McQuarrie hat, Endor trooper rifle, unpainted resin cast of a sandtrooper pauldron, white mesh we had lying around, and a felt scarf
(http://i1167.photobucket.com/albums/q622/Laojax/C7586A05-922B-4D94-8ECC-8A5385A8BB43-705-000000E58FA9E7D5_zpsfa6f4055.jpg)

Lots of fun making these simple figures, but my wife gave us endless guff about playing "????"(dress-up) with our "dollies". Not very supportive! Have there ever been any threads on ISY about spousal criticism of this hobby?
-
LOL Laojax! Great kit-bashes. And you need to listen to our last podcast where Chad and I get our wives on! Time for a front page update.
http://www.imperialshipyards.net/CAFN/index.html
-
Great looking figures and a great way to spend quality time with the young ones!
-
Thanks guys! Was just listening to part of the CAFN podcast on the train to work; sounds like y'all are truly blessed to have wives who are willing to tolerate your "eccentricities" with such a positive attitude! Awesome!
-
Awesome figures Laojax!
My favorite is the Weequay with the fertility idol! That's AWESOME! Ewoks would totally bow.
Some great figures in this thread!
-

Somedays mine is a little less positive than others, but yes she is pretty supportive of my hobby.

Hey, new entries. Very cool!
I must say the Twi'Lek Jedi is very cool to my eyes JM. I need to do a front page update now that I think on it.
-
Thanks for the FP Tamer. I totally agree, too many Anakin and Obi Wan figures out there.
-
Very nice figures guys! It is great seeing these cool figures rolling in. I had a great time last weekend looking through my bins to see what I might want to put together.
First up I grabbed a TFU General Kota's Militia figure that was missing a shoulder pad. This guy totes a big cannon so I thought I might find him a paltron of some type and give him some armor on his arms and legs. I gave him a new head from the Hoth Rebel then looked through my armor bits and decided to use a 5 inch BMX figure's knee pad for the shoulder guard. Then I boiled and popped on some Clone Trooper lower arms and Mygeto Trooper lower legs. I was really happy with his final look and he meshes in with the other troops nicely.

Next I grabbed a figure from the Hellboy line that I recently acquired in a trade. All of the bits on his suit had been cut off and he was missing the right hand. He has an old school sci-fi look with a touch of Steampunk thrown in so I wanted to build on that while keeping him Star Wars. I used a helmet from a Chap Mei figure with a Snake Eyes head shoved in there after dremeling out the helmet. Then I cut up random bits from various guns and diving masks/tanks and glued them on the suit in all the holes. As I looked at the figure it was screaming "I need a backpack!" so I gave him one from the Fire Speeder Pilot after drilling a hole in his back. I found a hand in the bin that matched really well and gave him 2 GI Joe accessories to call him done. Sorry his photos did not turn out so good.

Then I wanted to do something with this Marvel Ninja figure I have had for years! I thought of the Samurai with the chain gun in Sucker Punch and it was on. I boiled the Hasbro Budo figure and removed all his robes. I used the chest armor only as I used a head from the Airbender figure and the rice hat from a Red Ninja. The neck looked a bit long so I added a GI Joe neck wrap thing and things were much better. I made a soft goods skirt but it looked like crap so I covered it with the old Arc Trooper kama that I was going to use in the first place. His Katana is from the Budo figure and the chane gun is from the Rock.

This next Samurai is the leftover Budo figure. His head is from the POTC line and the Chest Armor is from the old comic pack Snake Eyes.

While looking in the Joe bins I started thinking I had several figures that would be easy to make modernized new Dreadnock characters. This first one is a body and arms I got from one trade and the head from another.The legs are from the new Zartan and his hands are from Captain Rex. I got a gun from the Joe bin and added a soft goods strap. His hips needed something so I made a gun belt by cutting up a ammo vest from another goe figure. His photos came out terrible so I hope to replace this pic, sorry for the quality.

Now we have one I was really happy with. I have had these legs for a long time and really no use for them. So I thought Asian Dreadnock, odd, I know. I added the legs to a $ Joe Shipwreck torso. Pulled a chopped up Joe Paratrooper vest from the fodder bin and add a belt from a Wraith I believe. I glued several pouches to the belt for his ammo and other weaponry then tucked 3 throwing knives in the belt. His head is the Asian from the Thor line and his katana and gun are from the fodder bin. I dacided to drill a hole in the backpack so he could have a companion katana.

This next one is my favorite from my weekend build. The body is all the Shadow Tracker figure, the purple harness is from the fodder bin and I love this color combo! The head is from SW EP 2 the figure from the bar Obi Wan and Anakin go into, the guy that plays Jar Jar. I had to cut the neck off, dremel everything down, drill out the head and sand. The jacket is from Mutt Williams and the bandana around his neck is from Tunnel Rat. I glued a Chap Mei holster to his leg and gave him a side arm. His hat is from the Rebel Fleet Trooper and his bow, arrow, cycle and knife are all from my fodder bins. I really love this guy now I am wanting to add some string to his bow!

Wow Spry, talk about some great parts combinations here. I am gonna have to take some time and go through each of these.

Dad already entered a figure the night the contest started. He made a quick generic Clone Wars Weequay pirate for Hondo's gang to get things rolling.
This is my first entry. I saw this picture of a Clone Trooper in Jedi disguise hunting the Force sensitive after Order 66 and wanted to add the Jedi Hunter to my collection. I used a Clone Trooper head I had in fodder, cut off the neck and Dad drilled the head out so it would fit on a peg. I used the head on a Vintage Obi-Wan Kenobi so the figure had maximum pose-ability. He took me less than 10 minutes to make.

Nice one Elias, looks fairly spot on to me. I gotta figure out which of these I am gonna use for the fp update today. Wow.
-
Spry, I am really liking that Sucker Punch Samurai you have created too. Just a ton of great combinations you have posted up. Time for another front page update. I ought to start a facebook album too.

Thanks Shawn, glad you like my creations! Awesome Entry Elias! Love the idea behind it and he will look great roaming around on your shelves.
-
I love these contests. With my time constraints this type of thing is right up my alley. There's some great stuff everyone is posting, great combinations.
ServO has a fantastic Cyborg Savage. Those Crysis stalker legs are perfect for him.
Love Princess Tamer's Bounty Hunter Secura, my little Princess helped me with my kit bashes this past weekend!
Spry that's a fine collection you got going there. Especially like the Ninja guy. P.S. I haven't forgotten about the heads, I'll PM you later.
So I finally got a chance to tear away and do some of my own, nothing super complicated just some greebles and head swaps for the most part. As I said before, my little Princess helped Dad get em' together this weekend past. We got them finished on Saturday and I quickly built a background from all sorts of things I had laying around to enhance my pictures.
The idea was to fill out some background characters for my last contest entry, Borga the Hutt. He was in desperate need of a menagerie so we went to work and set our goal for ten thugs. This entry will be titled "Scum and Villainy".

Well there you have it. Hope you all likey!

Alright! Our first member to take it to 10 figures! 10 great looking figures, I bet you and the youngling had a great time putting these together. So many it is hard to pick a favorite, but I really like that first Rodian. The second one's strap is from the comic pack Amanaman figure. Alswo wanted to say what a great figure and photograph of the Garindan guy. Love that first pic, it really makes you wonder what is going on in that scene.
-
Wow DS that is some serous kit-bashing. I need to take a new picture of the cup as with all the latest it is really filling up.
I must say that Garindan was pretty cool followed really closely by Jimmy for me. She has that drop dead gorgeous I will kill you look down nice. That agent helix figure is just a good overall figure to use for a custom for a variety of lines. Looks like I have my front page update for the day. Wow!
-
Thanks guys! I think everyone has some great looking iconic customs going on here.
Tamer get that picture of the cup up! I want to see how full it is. At the rate this is going you may have to get a bigger cup.

Parental Supervision Required.
Take the upper torso of the Episode VI Darth Vader with removable helmet and swap it with the Vintage Darth Vader with the ball jointed hips and call it a day. I boiled both figures in hot water, and then when the plastic the figures are made of got soft enough, I swapped the torsos. Figures will be hot and you can definitely burn yourself. I advise letting the excess water completely drain off the soft goods before attempting to touch the figure even with your oven mitts on.
I like this project because it takes only a few minutes to create. Nothing like a quick No Paint Kit Bash to get a super pose-able Vader with the Sebastian Shaw likeness.

Darth Vader ANH VC93 and 2008 Legacy Collection Darth Vader
I am so creating this one myself. Matter of fact this one has to be today's update.
Clonesniper78 what a great idea for a space marine. Man, I can see so many variations you could do to this too. I wonder if there is a three and three quarter removable helmet in this scale? If not there should be!
Liked that Legolas Jedi too. Just great kit-bashes all around.
I promise to get that picture of the filling up cup today too. Just awesome to see it fill up.
-
All entries in the cup as of today's date. The cup is halfway filled up already!

Keep em coming folks!

The Crossover that should have been. The General Lee as a Transformer. The Star Wars figure is coming soon.
Transformers Voyager "Ice" Megatron and a 1/24 model kit of the General Lee. I dremeled the model and superglued the parts onto Megatron

Dude, that is insanely cool!!!!! I love it!!!! I'm not even a fan of transformers, but I may have to steal this one from you. I bow to this genius work of art!
You MUST do more. Starsky and Hutch's car, B.A. Baracus's van, I'd love to see T.C.'s "Island Hopper" chopper too!
Fracken' genius!
-
I appreciate your kind words, DarthSinister. Hasbro really missed a chance (I'd love the A-team van as well). Here is the figure that got me started into kit bashing. I had a collection of 1/18 scale cars and one ended up getting destroyed. I also had a broken leader Optimus from a bulk ebay purchase. So I was like let's do this. (I promise the Star Wars figure is coming)
Old School Optimus:
Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime, 1/18th scale 1920's Mercedes, superglue.
-
How cool is that Penkayne! Just insanely awesome! Ok, while I calm and get this on our front page rest assured your first entry is now in the cup. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what you show us next.
Please tell me you are thinking about getting other cool cars like this and making more Transformers kiti-bashes! I can see Kitt, the Firebird from Smokey and the Bandit, just so many great cars from the 80s.
And this contest is open to any action figure line; you don't necessarily have to share just Star Wars Customs. We do like em though. ;D
-
Thank you Tamer! All of my bashes are random opportunity based on what I have, but I would love a famous car series in transformer form (hint, hint Hasbro). I am loving all the entries...this is an awesome contest especially for those who are lacking in paint skills like myself.
-
Tom, I am seeing your Iron Monger and Cable head and think that is such a cool combination. I could see just a ton of variations on this. Have to use if for our front page update of the day.
On my own kit-bashing notes I have been wanting to try and put together the Saga 2 version of Veers and the newer Vintage AT-AT Commander we got when the first vintage line line came out. On my first try of piecing together the torso of the older Veers with the more supery arty stuff from the commander it didn't work out like I thought with the lower torso covering and I may have just buggered up a good figure. Back to the drawing board. I gotta work on something to build up the ball on the head socket that doesn't give him giraffe neck, but will not give him the head droop look too. Results to follow by the due date I hope!
I am really enjoying the entries for this and it is really psyching me up for more custom contests for later in the year. Keep em coming folks.

Well I turned my frown upside down. I am pretty pleased and have really wanted a super-articulated General Veers in AT-AT Commander Outfit
recipe: Saga 2 Collection General Veers and Vintage Collection AT-AT Commander
Well I started thinking this was probably gonna be a simple head swap with Veers going on that AT-AT Commander, but after noticing some head issues I decided I would use the Veers torso and pop all the super arty stuff onto it. Well the stuff popped on, but wasn't very flattering in the butt and arm area (arms just hung limp) so it was back to the drawing board. I was a bit ticked at this point thinking I had ruined two pretty decent figures. So back to the drawing board today I started from the legs up using that AT-AT Commander legs and hips, then using the Saga 2 lower torso as I liked the holster size on it (that AT-AT Commander's is huge!) which meant I had to cut up the middle armor piece on the Commander set as the Saga 2 version didn't have any version of this (just used a small dollup of hot glue in case I ever wanted to use him with his armor off) and that worked good. Next the hard part was getting the lower torso into the upper torso as the holster lower torso was just a smidgin thick. I trimmed a bit of the peg and after some superhuman feats of strength was finally able to get it into the upper torso. Then, it was pretty much just a matter of drilling out a small bit of the Saga 2 Veers head to get it to set low enough on the AT-AT Commander head socket so he didn't look like he had a case of giraffe neck. I made sure to use a smaller bit than what was in the head already so it fit the smaller AT-AT Commander's head socket pretty well. I didn't have to drill out much even though I thought I would. Then, all I had to do was fight with the googles on the AT-AT Commander helmet (it fits pretty nice over the Veers head I found out even with the cap on). BTW, upon messing just a bit with those googles I did see they loosened up and will probably be easy to manipulate down the road, but it was frustrating at first. Anyhow here he is:
The Shield will be down in moments, you may begin your landing!

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/VALUEDCUSTOMER/aveers4_zpsbd885ba5.png)
I also found out his body has much more balance as a result of this build and stands better than he did in either version. I could see Hasbro doing this kit-bash and selling a ton of these.
-
Bill, I just saw those on Facebook and commented there too, but I think these combinations are great!
-
Love that Veers Tamer. You're turning into a customizer. Just one little note, the left arm is twisted backwards. ;)

whoops, probably ought to change that! LOL, I think I was just so happy to get him together (that torso was just hard) I was in a daze. And thanks for your comments Tom, but I am not quitting my day job. I seriously think Hasbro would have a hit on their hands if they combined pieces of the Saga 2 Veers and the Vintage AT-AT Commander into one SA version. Kind of like DD did on that great Vader there are some bashes that just look so good right out of the box and there would be no cost for tooling as everything is already there. Ok, note for the day, take pics with the shoulder in the right place. UPDATE: new pics added.
Time to also update the front page with one of Darth Stream's great offerings too. I think that Badlands Chewie is just fantastic. It reminds me of what a WOW Wookie Necromancer would look like.
-
I'm going to go ahead and lower everyone's expectations, so that tomorrow's entry will look cooler by comparison. The body came in a bulk ebay purchase with its head missing. I did what I had to do.
Star Wars Destroyer Droid, Transformers Voyager Stratosphere head. I superglued it. That's about it.

Hello Gang !! I really like all the entries so far especially Penkayne's transformers Outstanding ! I didn't think i was going to be able to enter this contest , since at the time i had no figure in mind to kit bash. Then Saturday it came to me . I have been planning an update to Momaw Nadon or (Hammerhead) which he will always be in my book lol for a while . Now for the record i always liked the saga 2 version of hammerhead (and still do) but when we were introduce to articulated figures in the line well i got spoiled like a lot of us did. so i got myself another saga 2 Hammerhead and started to think what figure would go good to make a really good articulated figure . I thought that the vintage collection Gungan warrior was the perfect choice to kit bash so what happened here was a lot of cutting and dermel work i popped the legs off the waist of hammerhead and replaced them with the legs of the gungan . then from the saga 2 figure i cut from the knees down and glued them to the legs of the gungan figure. the legs now are articulated . i did the same for the arms . i left the shoulders on hammerhead but cut from the bicepts down to the forearm on the saga 2 figure .then took the hands from the saga 2 figure and again glued the wrists back on to the gungan arms .Articulated arms . once the contest is over i plan on giving him the correct color pants and fine tuning this figure . But imo i think this is an even better figure now. Enjoy got some other figures coming in the next few days . Good luck to everybody......

Here's my entry. Darth Bandon, Darth Malak's Sith Apprentice from KOTOR.
(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5492/12186462794_f085de941c_z.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/42971447@N05/12186462794/)
Darth Bandon (http://www.flickr.com/photos/42971447@N05/12186462794/)
The recipe is:
TVC Starkiller torso, arms, legs, chest armor, belt
Darth Vader skirt
mid-length plastic skirt cut off Revan cloak
TVC bald Endor Rebel trooper head
Sidious lightsaber
No idea about those hands
Since this is a no-paint contest, I've entered him as is, but I might make a small touch up later to paint over the Imperial insignias on his arms (that's why I've raised his arms in this photo). Still, even after doing that, it'll be a pretty minimal amount of paint.
-
Wow, great new entries for the contest.
Darth Crassus I like that Sith Apprentice. You really used some great parts for this and it shows in an awesome final piece. Ah, but we so need more Sith Lords and their apprentices in our SW Verse.
Mr. Jedi 1977 what can I say other than wow! I think you have made the ultimate Momaw Nadon! Once again I am reminded how irritated it makes me when I see Hasbro going to 5 POA when you show what a great figure they could have on their hands if they would do something like this. Bravo Sir. I am gonna use this one as our front page update for the day!
Penkayne, we definitely are still reeling from that great Transformer General Lee. You are going to be hard pressed to top that one I think, but this isn't over till Sunday!

Tamer thank you so much for the very kind words! I completely agree with you about Hasbro it truely is sickening that instead of moving forward to make a better figure they are cutting corners and moving backwards . I look at it this way there are a lot of good articulated figures to choose from to make a better figure if hasbro goes back to the basic no articulation . Btw loved the general veers fig that's what one of my future projects was going to be I may have to use that recepie ... All the best

I would love to see what you could create for a Veers!

Oh man some really awesome customs rolling in by the boat load! Brian, love that SA Vader, such a great figure now! Tamer, loving that Veers! It sucks that hasbro can't figure out things like you and Brian just did. Tom. I love that group you created, great parts choices! Why Mr. Jedi, that is a beautiful Hammerhead you have there! Great idea using the SA Gungan for his articulation! I love it! Darth Crasus, love that Sith! Must be nice to have an extra Starkiller Pilot! LOL!

Darth Crasus, love that Sith! Must be nice to have an extra Starkiller Pilot! LOL!
Thanks. I needed the head for another custom, so I got a used one for cheap. The body has been lying around for a while until now.

Great work so far everybody! Here is my no paint kit bash custom figure. This is LUKE SKYWALKER from the Star Wars movie promo pictures. A simple boil n pop job. Here is the breakdown: Head-Luke Skywalker in imperial disguise from comic pack. Torso,hips,legs,lightsaber,hands-Yavin ceremony Luke. Arms-Juno Eclipse (I used these because Luke is not a big dude. These arms fit well into the torso without giving Luke very broad shoulders). Enjoy! ;D

More pics of this figure can be seen in my thread here: http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=3778.360 (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=3778.360)

1. Saesee Tiin horns
2. Asajj Ventress torso, upper part of skirt, and head
3. Grievous legs and neck piece
4. Kallidahin (Polis Massan) arms
5. The staff is part of the throne from endor for C3PO
So I glued the horns on the head with regular super glue. and cut the bottom half of the skirt with a razor. all the other pieces pretty much snapped together. the neck piece fits real nice and doesn't float around on the shoulders. its a perfect fit. I gave her a cloth skirt from material I had just to give her a more feminine appearance.
Im new here and ive never posted before but I thought this would be a good start. I have some custom figures and dioramas but don't know where I can put em so I can get feed back but I guess that would be for another page. anyways thanks its good to know im not alone I thought I was alone for the longest until I found this site. thanks again.

Oooooh! VERY cool!
Just ask anyone...I LOVE me some cyborg legs!
I really like this figure.
-
Wow, two more great entries.
Nuthin But Bits welcome to ISY! What a great creation. She has that Pan look to me. BTW, incoming pm with where to put your custom figures pictures.
I-am-Boba-Fett very nice. We can't wait to see your recipe and your description of how this all went together. I had forgotten about that particular version of Luke. Off for another front page share.

welcome to the yards Nuthin But Bits !!! a really cool creation look forward to seeing more

Well, gives a whole new meaning to the insult that a guy has "girl arms" >:D
Neat idea for a figure. I'm curious, did you try the ROTJ Luke arms? Do those fit?

LOL, good one Darth Crassus! ;D
Tried the ROTJ Luke arms and other ones too. All of them, the ball joint of the upper arms stuck out too far giving Luke very broad shoulders. The Juno Eclipse arms looked the very best to me so I went with them. Plus they were already black in color so no painting needed which worked out great for my entry in this contest.

Nuthun But Bits your custom was used for our front page update of the day!

That cyborg alien is great! Love the concept.

R2-WTF
I got the B.A.D. head from the legacy Jawa and security droid set I wanted, but didn't want to collect the whole series to complete a droid. So I decided to give him a weapons upgrade. He is mainly put together with superglue and prayer. He does have articulation, but due to the sheer weight of the figure, his stances are limited. His outer arms can move up and down, but the joint failed years ago (a problem with McFarlane Toys) and so the swivel had to be glued. All of the inner arms can move, but I had to do some serious joint tightening via glue friction (again due to weight). I dremmeled the seat and figure off the APU, but the rest were broken parts and accessories I had around. I apologize that there are a few of the smaller weapons that I have no idea what they are from. It will only let me post two pictures at a time, I will post the next right under this one. Ok, get comfortable. The parts list takes a while:
Main Body: McFarlane Matrix APU
Backpack: McFarlane Pilot Spawn jetpack, Transformers Voyager Stratosphere wings
Buttpack: C.O.P.S. “The Plumber” backpack
Antennae: McFarlane ShadowHawk grappling hook
Left Shoulder Missile Pod: Kenner Aliens Stinger Missile Pod + gun, McFarlane Commando Spawn projectile, unidentified gun part, Star Wars Super Battle Droid gun arm
Right Shoulder Missile Pod: McFarlane Matrix Sentinel diorama base tentacle, McFarlane Alien Spawn mine weapon, Unidentified black penlight, Terminator Salvation A-10 Warthog Missiles, Tentacles from McDonald’s Incredibles Syndrome
Outer Right Arm Add-on’s: McFarlane Clown II shoulder guns, Star Wars 12 Inch IG-88 gun
Outer Left Arm Add-on’s: McFarlane Clown II shoulder guns, McFarlane Shadow Hawk gun
Upper Middle Guns: McFarlane Matrix APU control levers, McFarlane Unidentified Spawn figure guns
Inner Missile Pods: Super Gobot Psycho legs, McFarlane Badrock shoulder pods + missiles
Torso Support: Kenner Aliens Stinger roll cage, Super Gobot Psycho inner head
Mid-Torso Outer Guns: McFarlane Super Patriot gun arms
Head and Neck: McFarlane Matrix APU control stalk, Transformers Leader class Optimus Prime tire, Unknown Star Wars rifles, Star Wars R4-P44 B.A.D. head (tire is the perfect diameter to allow the head to swivel right and left)
Upper Inner Left Arm: Transformers Voyager Stratosphere leg, McFarlane Wetworks Mother-1 cyborg arms, unknown shotgun, He-Man Roboto blaster, Iron Man Mark I flamethrower
Upper Inner Right Arm: Transformers Voyager Stratosphere leg, Commando Spawn shotgun, Terminator Salvation T-600 mini-gun, Transformers Frenzy arm (unknown weapons)
Lower Torso: Transformers Voyager Stratosphere torso and upper arms
Lower Inner Arms: Super Gobot Psycho arms (unknown weapons), Star Wars battle droid arms (unknown weapons)
Crotch: McFarlane Commando Spawn rocket launcher
