Hello everyone, just wanted to start sharing my custom 6" figures Im working on.
Heres my first completed figure in the 6" line..just a repaint sort of
I removed the molded on hair, and using the Dremel I replaced the head details on the back of the head. For paint I used Model Master acrylics, for the skin I used Panzer Olivgrun for the base color, and gave it various shades of highlights by mixing in some Vallejo Pale Sand.
The cane was also repainted. For the hair I used tiny bits of pillow stuffing attached with CA glue and then trimmed down.
-
He looks great TS. love the hair applications.
-
Awesome! Very impressive.
-
Looks good on the front page.
-
thanks guys, I appreciate it
-
What an improvement!
-
Fantastic Yoda.
Ron
-
hey thanks Ron!
heres my latest project..using a Legends Black Widow to make a Biker Scout
-
Can't wait. 6 inch?
-
Cool deal, off to the front page.
-
Awesome. I've been trying to find another widow to transform into a female mando, but no luck. I'll be watching this project closely.
-
She is looking great already I can't wait to see more.
Ron
-
thanks guys..Ive finished the details and have her primed..I'll post pics later today.
@spud, your rigght, these are getting harder to get..usually close to $20 now on ebay..Ive got a second one, but not sure yet what I want to do with it. Was thinking of an Imperial Officer, or mandalore armor like you mentioned.
-
quickly finished the Scout trooper up last night..probably isnt the best custom Ive ever done..just wanted a quickie..I also fixed the visor on the helmet too..think I'll do that with the rest of my scouts..I just painted a white trim piece around the lens to make it look more to size and shape that it should be. I also have a new male head coming that I'll use on the scout that I took the helmet from, that way I dont have an unused body layin around..
-
Nice!
-
She looks pretty good to me. Off to share.
-
She looks absolutely fantastic. Consider this recipe stolen! I love it! Her jumpsuit works perfectly for the under-suit of the scout trooper and your sculpted armor looks amazing. The paint job on the boots looks like the white paint may have given you some issues, but it may just be the image... I love the repainted blonde hair, she looks like an imperial with that color for sure!
again, fantastic job! I love it.
-
thanks guys.
your right about the figure,its a good starter for any of the troopers ..sure wish these were easier to get.
no trouble with the white,it was airbrushed on..the black was hand painted with a nice shaky hand lol
-
I agree with spudafett, the repaint on the head really makes the figure look great.
-
i like her too,Good Job!!!
-
Love the work on the female scout trooper she looks fantastic.
Ron
-
Thankyou ! I appreciate it :)
-
Heres a new addition to my speederbike scene..got the male resin head off ebay. just had to paint it. for the shades lenses I used Bare Metal foil with a bit of clear teal tint ..makes for a cool lookin scout
-
Very nice! Great technique on those glasses
-

I echol Clint's statement. Cool stuff. Off to share.
-
all thumbs up!
-
THnaks guys! mucho gracias
-
heres my latest piece..not exactly a creative one..but one of those must do kinda repaints...
the ROTJ version of Boba Fett.
..added the pouches to his belt, and repositioned the larger two. also had to add the red rope belt ,since that was basically destroyed while cutting the belt apart. also reworked the rifle, though its not exactly accurate. I'll probably redo that later. I also removed some of the details on his left wrist and made the flame thrower? box to it. And of course repainted most of him.
-
Nice. I would sure buy one if Hasbro ever made one. Off to share.
-
nice work on the boba. I'm assuming that's the 6inch? if so, it looks great. What did you use for the new cape?
-
thanks guys.. yes, its a 6" . I just repainted the cape that came with him.
-
Just wanted to let you know we featured your stand shop and your gorgeous Shaak Ti in the latest episode of Custom Action Figure News. I am hoping we can get you to come on for an interview sometime!
-
awesome! thankyou! what Is Custom action figure news?
-
awesome! thankyou! what Is Custom action figure news?
Its the ISY Podcast we do at least once a month sometimes more. You can find it at the top of the front page now or on our Youtube Channel.
-
ahh..ok. I dont even have a cam or mic on my PC...never got into the video kinda stuff..besides..ever see the StateFarm commercial where the guys talking to Jake at 3 in the morning...nuff said lol
-
guess this would be considered a custom...its a 3D printed figure of Darth Talon..just got it in today from Shapeways! Working on here now..has great articulation ,very nice detail too,and shape.
-
Wow, is this the right link?

Off to share.
-
thats the one!
-
You ought to 3D Scan your Force Unleashed Shaak Ti and put her up on there!
Nice work on the Talon by the way.
And daggone you are gonna have to get a webcam!
-
Heres a bit of an update... been trying to smooth the skin ...at first I thought it would be ok just to sand it smooth...nope...these 3D printed parts are filled with millions of little air bubbles, so sanding alone just doesnt do it, so you have to fill them..I used Mr Surfacer brushed on. I applied maybe 3 coats ,with sanding in between each coat using a fingernail sanding sponge.
You can see the difference between the two parts shown, belly and leg.
I also did some extra work on the head..the forehead should be a little more prominent ,so I broke out the Aves and ..hopefully havent messed it up..I think the paint job will help define the eyes better.
and last,while Im at it, Im working on an Aayla Secura..
-

lol, well, thats something else I dont have is a 3D scanner.sure wish I did.
-
Seriously, send her away to get her 3D Scanned. Folks would love to buy her.
-
well, I did consider making molds..but man..then Id have to dip her in silicone.... :o
-
She looks great and you did an awesome job getting all those parts nice and smooth.
Ron
-
I keep considering the investment of a 3D printer, around $1,000 kind of steep, and then the scanner is more, but your work on Talon is making it harder to resist!
-
I appreciate you filling us in on the Talon Figure and those air bubbles.
That Secura is gonna be great too.
Off to share.
-
This look like a lot of fun!
I've been looking at getting some 3D printed stuff for some projects.
Did you have to deal with those gnarly
Horizontal printing lines that the printers leave?
I know as tech improves the lines are less noticeable.
-
really looking forward to seeing ayla finished , great start !
-
Thanks guys!.. the print lines were almost none..but it did have a sponge like texture...which I ended up using Mr Surfacer to smooth out the skin and some light sanding...though some areas I sanded too much and eliminated some of the tattoo marks..so I had to go by reference to try and get them somewhat close...not easy...
heres a bit of an update...didnt want to spoil it and show the whole figure yet...but I finished resculpting the eye area....spread them out a bit,made the cheeks a little fuller, and broadened the forehead a bit..got started on the paint too! a boy are those tatts fun...
-
Looks great! You got me curious about the complete figure now!!
-
Nice! Time for a front page update. I am anxious to see how she turns out.
-
finally got this one done....fwewwww..that took alot longer than I expected..but I liked the end results..its a great figure. the joints are really loose ,so you have to tighten them up with some supler glue.. she doesnt come with a light saber either..so had to make my own. I just twisted up some floral wire in the drill, and stretched some clear red acrylic rod to make the saber.. the tattoos were a PITA,but I got through it..not exact mind you but theyre there.
-
Wow, she is beautiful. Definitely another gorgeous gal six inch custom to add to your collection.
Off to share.
-
Outstanding work ! I cant even imagine the time to do the tatoo's, but the end result is amazing .... Bravo
-
very nice. Did you get the original from shapeways? How much was it? (if you don't mind my asking)
-
thankyou guys! I think the hardest part about the tattoos was figuring out what and where to put them..the model comes with them as raised details,but I sanded off alot of it,especially on the head tails. I bought it from Shapeways, here..and also, was just pointed to the lightsaber set he offers that has her saber in it..didnt realize this, so I get that soon to replace the one I made.

Heres a new display for Boba and Han... and Leia of course! still a WIP ..need to add the control box to the wall and also need a longer LED strip.... also..these will be available soon in kit form.
-
Wow, what a great idea. I like the sound of kits.
Are you talking about the new Boushh Leia? I wonder if she will look too tall beside Han and Boba? Guess you won't know till you get her and put her in there. Off to share.
-
thanks Shawn..yeah, havent gotten her yet, so really dont know how it compares..Id imagine with Han hanging up like that shed look fine.
-
Wow!!!! Talon turned out magnificently and the paint job rocks. I look forward to seeing Aayla when she's done.
-
Sweet! Sign me up for a kit.
What about the led strip? Is it short?
-
Aw man! I'd love to get me one of those!
-
Thankyou . I just ordered an LED strip for myself, which I chose an 8" one.
I ordered mine from here...he has options to choose from
http://stores.ebay.com/glowhutledproducts/

-
just saw the prototype of the new 6" Ahsoko Tano figure...guess I wont need to cast the Shaak Ti head after all.. that one will look much better.
-
just got my LED strip w/wall plug from GlowHut.. works great!
-
Wow, that turned out fantastic! I will be getting this to the front page soon.
-
That dio looks fan-freggin-tastic. Great job bro.
-
Wow that diorama with the led came out amazing :o
-
Diorama on the front page.
-
thanks guys! I appreciate that Shawn! DH
-
Really enjoying your latest work. Still reeling from that FU Shaak Ti. I will also have you know that I like your head sculpt for a Togruta better than the version Hasbro showed us for Ahsoka.
-

I was thinking the same thing. Hasbro's just doesn't look right.
-
thanks guys.. I sorta agree..Hasbros sorta looks like an Egyptian head piece..think they based it off the cartoon version..which does look like that. ..anyway..just got my autograph in today from Orli for my Shaak Ti ! I had her sign a custom stand I made for it.
-
Awesome, all I can say is your a lucky man and talented too. Check my Shaak-Ti out on my page when you get a chance. Keep the customs coming man looks fantastic.
-
Fantastic Work. Off to share!
-
Thanks guys! oh,and jusssst in case ;)
-
Sweet, I need to get that picture on the front page too.
-
that's so great to have an actress' signature with your custom figure! :D
-
ok, it pains me to do this..but Im needing to sell a few to get some unexpected cash..but ,not gonna give away one of my prize pieces cheap..but just in case.. I have to try..so...
Shaak Ti and Darth Talon are on the bay...

I am with you Ajunta Pall, what a horrible dilemma. I sure wish EU was a major focus for me as I would sure be bidding on at least one or both of them.
By the way folks his link will get you to the FU Shaak Ti, but if you want to see his Darth Talon Auction:

Let me go share this on our channels and see if I can drum up some business for you.

Just can't get over that Yoda, looks great as does your many other customs. I hope you don't mind if I use your idea for the hair, and the eyes, did you make the pupils bigger or was it more involved. I think the eyes on the production Yoda is the biggest and most noticeable drawback.
