Forceflow's Customs
« on: March 29, 2016, 07:33:41 PM »
Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster. Thought I'd break the ice with some work from the past few years. Didn't really start getting into customizing until the first GI Joe movie came out. And of course, when TFA was announced, I couldn't help it. Now I just need to get comfortable with photography and start getting everything documented...

First up is a re-imagined Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Finished before TFA, otherwise he would've been a Knight of Ren, I think.

Very nice! Sort of like a "what-if" version of Anakin if he didn't get burned at Mustafar. Welcome! :)

Mandalorian Legionnaire

This guy was a combination of "Huh, that's a neat helmet!" and "I wonder what the Mandos are up to c. The Force Awakens?" I imagined Mandalore as marginalized and left to lick its wounds after the fall of the Empire. Former Deathwatch members rose to power and established a fascist government. They don't like outsiders, but do like guns, armor, and aggressive expansion. The First Order looks to exploit this to undermine the Republic.

Who knows what they'll cook up in the official canon... he can always be a merc or bounty hunter.

Body is all G.I. Joe ROC and later, with Cobra BAT head and soft goods cape. I had a lot of fun with the limited color palette, especially inverting the helmet/visor color scheme. I also liked the challenge of matching his height to other Star Wars figs, since the Joes tend to have really long legs.

Thanks for looking!

What a fun concept, the armor development totally makes sense. Nice job!

Resistance Heavy Gunner

Continuing my TFA kick, here's another "What If" addition to the Resistance!

The Heavy Gunner provides fire support to Resistance squads and light vehicle divisions. Armed with a specially modified DLT-19 heavy repeating blaster rifle and power pack, the Gunner doesn't have to worry about reloading... just overheating. The irony of being cut down by old Imperial weaponry is not lost on First Order Stormtroopers, making the Gunner a prime target for snipers.

Gotta say it's been a long time since I've hung out in these forums, but stopping in to see what's been going on led me into your tread.  Very impressive figures!  I especially love the way you've used the art backgrounds to portray their look/create visual interest in each character.  I've always gotten a kick out of back stories, so the ones included for your Mandos caught my eye; very nice work!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Welcome back, and thanks for the kind words!

Here's a leftover from the photoshoot... you actually get a view of the legs here.

This is a nice figure. Love the idea behind it and he looks really good.
