Title: Hanzo_the_Razor customs 8/11 Custom BH for contest
Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on March 18, 2014, 11:53:23 AM: This was my first attempt at a Star Wars custom. It was supposed to be a gladiator inspired clone. I'll post more pics as I work on him.

Just a few paint touchups, and the beard and this guy should be done.

I like the idea of this. I am trying to find a way to sneak away this weekend and watch the new 300 while my daughter does a sleepover. So far no luck, but I am pretty sneaky. I like this. Off to share on the front page.
Title: Re: First Custom....in progress
Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on March 19, 2014, 05:22:09 PM: 300 was pretty good for a movie I had no hopes for. Watch it in 3D.

Thanks for the words, and the front page. It was exciting to see. Did a little more work today. Hopefully by the weekend I can finish it up. Just need to figure out the helmet. Can't get it quite right.

Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on March 20, 2014, 06:12:33 PM: Welp, that's it for this one. It could probably use a little more work. I just feel like if I keep messing with it I'll definitely screw it up. I'm really happy with he painted weapons. Simple, but I like them. Anyways. Here it is.

Title: Re: Hanzo_the_Razor custom...in progress
Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on March 21, 2014, 05:21:57 AM: I'll post one with the helmet on him. Don't know why I didn't. I'm not too happy with how the helmet came out. It'll do for now until I make a better one. Either later today, or tomorrow a new pic will be up.
Title: Re: Hanzo_the_Razor custom...in progress
Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on March 24, 2014, 08:22:55 AM: Here is the definitely not finished helmet for my Spartan inspired figure. Looks bulky now, I'm hoping to dremmel it out and actually have the figure wear it. If all goes well you should see his face through the mask as is he was Leonidas himself. Well that's the hope at least. Also started working on a young Boba Fett, from the TCW s.4 ep.20, entitled "BOUNTY". I always wish they made this figure, but so many characters from the animated series I wish were made into figures. So far he's just been painted up. Need to get a helmet for him, make some shoulder armor for his left shoulder, and figure out how to bald this figure out without completely destroying his head. My son already wants to play with him, may have to buy another figure on eBay so I can make one for him as well. If anyone has advice on shaving this guys hair down, I'm all ears. Thanks. Also, I think I need to buy a matte finish for my figures. Boba's outfit is supposed to be cloth, the satin makes it too shiny IMO.

Title: Re: Hanzo_the_Razor custom...updated 3/27- MAUL'S MANDO
Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on March 27, 2014, 12:45:21 PM: Just a quick repaint of one of the Mando Troopers from Deathwatch. I plan on doing 2 more. One just like this, another with the horns on the helmet. Also forgot to take pictures of the jetpacks.

Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on March 27, 2014, 02:51:38 PM: Thanks for the kind words Koth!!! I really liked the way this one turned out. I'm hoping to focus more on characters from TCW that were never made into figures. We'll see how they turn out. Loved your (R4-Bad1) Badawan, by the way. It would be the perfect companion to my Mandos.

Title: Re: Hanzo_the_Razor custom...updated 4/7 SUGI from TCW
Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on April 07, 2014, 02:30:25 PM: Saw Darthdaddy's spotlight on Peakob1 the other day, loved his Sugi. Thought I'd take a crack at it with an extra Aurra Sing I had lying around. I'm not nearly as good as he is, but here is what I've done today. Need to add some more horns, try and make weapons, then paint up her hair. Hope to finish it up tomorrow.

Very nice. Off to the front page.

I thought her helmet was the head of a Commando Droid.
Boba Fett's transition helmet made me think of Darth Revan meets Verpine.

Excellent use of TCW Aurra Sing. She's probably the best base figure for TCW females there is.

BTW, daughters are hard to refuse, especially when it comes to cool female action figures.

Hey Hanzo, what about using the Shadows of the Empire Swoop Biker's head as a base for this Boba Fett helmet. With some modifications you may be able to make the helmet you want. Here's a pic of what I am talking about:

Title: Re: Hanzo_the_Razor custom UPDATE 4/11, SUGI FINAL
Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on April 15, 2014, 02:09:03 PM: Something I worked on this past weekend. Not even close to being complete. I know it's not Star Wars, but TMNT is something I've had with me since my childhood. Still subscribed to the comics today. Anywho......this is from the latest story arc that just ended, Leonardo was captured by the Foot Clan and brainwashed into being Shredder's apprentice. I loved the Foot Clan gear he wore, and since this has nothing to do with the animated series, I doubt there will ever be a figure made. Thought I'd give him a go on my own.

Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on April 17, 2014, 05:24:58 PM: Actually had some free time today. Decided to paint this figure to make it a little more accurate to the show. I'm liking it so far. I think my favorite part is how good the Nikto Guard head looks once you paint the horns. Just need to touch up some of the paint, her the symbol painted on his gauntlet, and find him the right lightsabers. Anyways. Here he is, Ima-Gun Di.

So this is my first attempt at a custom in over 10 years. It's an old armored Obi Wan from a few years ago, the shield belongs to a Mandalorian officer. All I did to it was add a makeshift holster to the back for his blaster. I plan on Giving him a much more grizzly beard and I gave him an eye wound. The figure was Spartan inspired, craft store didn't have metallic brass paint so I went with bronze. Everything else is just me playing with the green stuff and trying to get used to it. I'm not very good, I'll take all the help I can get, so advise away. All input is appreciated.

There are plenty of other brands out there. I bought mine at a local hobby shop. You could also try products by Aves. All depends on what's available to you. Just scour YouTube, you should be able to find quite a few tutorials.

yours is off to a great start. I like that you are keeping to TCW style parts... even if I don't like the slimmed down look, it still holds true to the source material and for that reason it works!

Thanks. Yea, I'm not to keen on sculpting either. This figure isn't done yet, but I already see ways can can improve it. Definitely want to give him a go a second time once I'm done with this. He's going to my son, so I'll need one for my shelf. Would love to see you do a realistic version spuda.

Thanks!, The helmet was purchased from sithhappens on eBay. I had seen that he was selling them on the bay in the past, I never bought one. Then when I needed it, he was not selling, sent him a message and he casted a few.

Thanks! The head was an extra Quinlan Vos I had. The hair was ripped off for another custom figure, figured his facial structure was close enough. Still not happy with the facial tattoos, I don't know how some guys can make the finest little details, maybe my brushes suck. Not sure.

Post by: Hanzo_the_Razor on May 16, 2014, 05:25:26 PM: So here are a few WIP shots of my Pong Krell figure I started maybe a week ago. I realize I should've used the Goro figure a few others have, but $30 on eBay was the cheapest I could find him for, and I thought, maybe I can just do it with what I have lying around. Don't kill me for butchering a few Marvel Universe, figures, I had multiples of both, so I figured, what the hell. here it is. Any advice is appreciated.

One last thing, I do realize his head is resting a little low, Pong is supposed to have a neck, and his "chin" should be longer. Haven't decided if I am even going to fix that. For now I am accepting his head as it is. Thanks for reading.

Post by: darthdaddy on May 17, 2014, 03:26:05 AM: I had the same problem with the neck on mine. Even with the Goro figure as a base, I had to use Fixit to extend the neck. I too initially planned on skipping the step completely, but after putting a year of my life into the figure I wanted it to look as close to what he should as possible. I you need any tips for extending it if you ever decide to do so, just ask.

He needs the ammo pouch attached to his chest armor, and the helmet needs to be painted. After that just dirty him up a bit.

Thank you, I am in a family wedding in Sacramento. I'll be staying much too far from San Diego.
Before I left I picked this guy up on ebay for $1. I originally only bought it because it was a phase II clone and I can never have too many of those bodies. Once I had it in hand, I really liked the paint job on the forearms and legs, not so much on the rest of the upper body though. Instead of using this guy for parts I figured I'd do a quick repaint. I added real straps instead of painting them on as you see in the first photo, added metallic paints to the helmet, though its hard to tell. I need to give him a leg strap and pack, but that will have to wait until vacation is over.

As you can see, not a big difference, the guy I bought this off of did a good job. I just tweaked his work a bit.
