Hey thanks for the compliments! I miss that Cade fgure...I painted the tats all by hand. I actually find very small details very satisfying to paint like that.

welcome, sorry I missed this thread for so long...

I've seen all your work on FB before, and commented there on some of these.

I still think the one that outshines all these is your joe articulated Jango Fett.  I love it.  The paint apps are so precice and so clean... much better than my version which turned out as purple as hasbro's!

He may not be totally accurate but I think I captured the feel of the character and he sure was a fun one to make!!!

mega awesome! Seriously love this! What's the hood from? Also I've been wondering, do you photoshop your saber blades to make them glow or are they fiber optics?

Thanks!!! Ya know I am a strict about not enhancing photos but when it comes to the sabers I do admit I like to use a program called LS_maker I got a year or so ago. I just really like the look of the pics with it! Underneath the effect is just the plain plastic blade.

Oh yeah, the hood is the latest Darth Sidious vintage series offering.

Daggone Stronox, that is just freaking sweet! Time to go back to the front page.

If only Hasbro would give us one like this. Between you and SF30 I have a feeling the Hasbro Malgus isn't going to do much for me.

Your work is very impressive, and so many great choices.  You mentioned that you didn't think it was 100% accurate, but I think that's part of the fun of making a custom: designing it to your own tastes.  Regardless, he is very cool, the paint apps are crisp and clean, and his skin tone and imperfections were captured very well.  He's excellent!
