Well it is high time I got this thread started. We saw just a ton of great work last year. If you will pick your favorite custom works (up to 5 images) and post a pic and short description in this thread I am gonna create another favorite customs of 2014 video.

I know I have some I hope show up here.

And thanks again to all of you for sharing your work with us here. This is just a small thank you for sharing all that you do! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the Shipyarders!

Post by: Bronxstalker on December 24, 2014, 06:13:57 AM: For me, it would have to be my latest Mando. I really liked how my some of my other customs came out, for example, I thought my Darth Sion came out better than I'd expected. Hell, I thought the clone trooper from the Blanx figure line came out nice, considering that I thought there wasn't much I could do with the Blanx figure.

However, to me, I reallllly like how my mando came out.

Post by: hemble on December 24, 2014, 06:54:38 AM: For me it is the AT-AT Gunner, don't get me wrong I love all my work I have done this year but this stood out the most to me just for the fact that I had to re-think how do to things like the helmet, gun mount and hull. And here are my other four customs.

Post by: spudafett on December 24, 2014, 10:38:46 AM: Probably my favorite customs from the year are my custom ROTJ boba and Jango in 6 inch

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10557397_751057638266581_8872881026656194284_n.jpg?oh=dffcd61db40f245ec27d71e08e8ae7f4&oe=55343441&__gda__=1430241143_790a3cf8093b9501df25317dab695273)

second to that is definitely my 6" scratch built at-rt and custom kashyyyk trooper
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10615962_745678595471152_5109781316178789870_n.jpg?oh=bfb860995fc38062c292f6f81eac78de&oe=55476AB9&__gda__=1430458881_ee5777e183cdc29be5fbb35860f76713)

but any of my 6inch figures... any of the boba variants I've done... my fett jeep wheel cover I just finished... hell what am I saying, there isn't a single custom I've done that I don't love! lol

Post by: FialaFernbrugg on December 27, 2014, 07:52:21 AM: For me, it is Commander Bly in his fictional Stormtrooper armor.
I must admit that it was not very inventive to convert the five Clone Commanders from the movie into Stormtrooper Commanders but it was a nice project.
I hope I can show you some new and creative stuff next year.

Post by: Tamer on December 28, 2014, 05:33:36 AM: This is gonna drive me crazy picking. How bout you just give me your top five images and I will put them together that way?

For those that already posted just modify your post to add more images or works if you so choose.

I am thinking we need a cut off date to post images too or it will be a 2016 video instead of a best of 2014 video. Perhaps Sunday?

Post by: customjedi on January 06, 2015, 07:36:26 AM: Been away for a while. Thanks for the FB reminder, Tamer. My top 2 favorite customs of '14 are both from Jabba's Palace (from a certain point of view).

Jabba's Bartender Droid

Bib would be my top pick since he involved parts swaps, some sculpting, sewing and painting. Definitely tested the skills I've acquired thus far.

Post by: Tamer on December 26, 2015, 05:35:19 AM: Folks, as most of you are aware I did not get this done last year as that was the time we found out my wife had cancer and of course life priorities changed gears immensely and this simply did not get done. I would like to offer my apologies for any duress this may have caused.

That being said, the end of this year is leaving me on better footing and I had time this morning to go through these wonderful images (the ones that would display) and create the video I should have about ten months ago. It is loading up to our Youtube Channel now and I think looks fantastic.

Once again my apologies for the long absence of time it took me to put this together. I hope to never have a repeat performance (not much pun intended). And thank you for sharing your work here.
