Title: pluv's BT-1
Post by: pluv on May 18, 2015, 07:07:09 AM

I've been a member for a while here, but this is my first custom I've posted. Mostly I'm a GI Joe and super hero customizer on other forums, but I love me some droids. So when I saw the War Machine styled assasin droid in the pages of the Marvel Darth Vader comic I had to take a stab at it.

Nice work! As an avid astromech nut I'm going to have to use some of your ideas.
It's a great custom. I like it!

Wow, awesome. I love the Blastomech, BT from the Darth Vader comic he's awesome in it to!


... this custom has me itching to start a Dr. Aphra custom...

 Out of curiosity, what was the base R5?

great job ! Was wondering how long it would take to customize some of the newer characters in the new Marvel comics and you knocked it out of the park  !

That is a great looking astro. Its the spitting image of the reference you used. Welcome to ISY by the way. As you have probably seen our first love is SW Customs, but we love JOE and all other genres too so don't hesitate to show us some of that too if you would like!

Your first post is on our front page.

Man how much do I love this custom!
I'm a big fan of the Darth Vader Marvel comic, especially with the introduction of this droid and of course Aphra!

I'm so planning to build these droids my self, so I love to see this custom you made. It's great!

I've already made Aphra my self in the #Buildingtoysformyson style:
(The second from the left... She the engineer girl that is part of the Kalidor Shadow crew)
