Hi guys, this is my first post here on the yards after Jay (wraith_nine) finally persuaded me to join up & post a few of my customs.
Go easy on me  Smiley LOL

I decided to weather & paint the hair of a Droidbait/CT-327 figure & also slapped a holster on his leg & a warhammer Blood Angels decal on his armour. Here are the results...



I also decided to weather a Clone Wars V-19 Starfighter.



All feedback & constructive criticism welcome.  Smiley

that weathering looks amazing, I'd love to hear how you pulled that off.

the decal looks great on the fig.  Is it a "wet and stick" or just a plain old sticker decal?  I've also seen people use printed paper and white elmers glue to do the same thing, did you do it that way?

here at the shipyards we love to see tutorials and love to see the progression of a custom as much as the final result!  Unless you're keeping somekind of craft/trade secret you don't want others to monopolize on please share your  techniques!

go ahead and browse around there are alot of great customizers here... oh and vote on the contest thread! lol every vote counts, even from the noobs!

btw, welcom to the shipyards!

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

The weathering was done using a simple inkwash & then a quick drybrush, with a coat of satin varnish just to seal it all in.

The decals were given to me by Jay & they are simple wet & stick decals, again coated in varnish to seal it.

I've been lurking on the forums for a while now, so am familiar with some of the guys' work, top notch stuff here.  Afro

Wow. Another great customizer. Looks great SithLord229. I think you definitely have the weathering thing down Pat. I like the job and the sticker on that trooper too.

Here is a small taste of what to expect from my latest project, will get around to taking some more snaps tomorrow as lighting isn't so great at the minute as it is almost 1am here in the UK.
