Do you plan on painting any of these.


Eventually yes I'm currently unemployed so no money to go to paints plus not experienced much in painting so hopefully in the future I will
Sorry to hear that! :'( :'( :-\ Hope you find a job bro! ;)

Had time to waste so I tried some more boiling and popping



Also I was hoping when they redid the Tusken Raider it would be articulated but I was disappointed at the cheap swivel elbows so I fixed it





Now I need help, how do I go about making all of these old and new parts fit together? The shoulder socket is too small for the holes in the torso, and how to attach the CW Mace waist to the torso? And any way to make the original hands to become attached with wrist articulation?

You need to get a blade/x-acto knife/razor and trim the studs.  I have just clipped a 1/4 - 1/3 of the edge.  Don't make the stud shorter.  Maybe run it under hot water for some flexibility and shove it in.  Let me know.

The shoulder holes in the torso are wider than the arm studs...I will put better pics of my problems up tomarrow

Always wished they would do a better job on the Tusken Raiders. Nicely done!

There's a song by Styx - "Too Much Time On My Hands" that comes to mind.

Ok need help from the custom kings here...how do I go about getting the arm to fit the torso? Also adding the lower waist to he torso? I would love to hear some ideas cuz the ones I have I don't want to try yet incase I ruin the figure.

For the waist the peg fits but its small enough to slide out so I need to anchor it in and still twist if possible



The arm issue I'm having you can see the size difference....I can slide the arm in and out of the socket
