Man you are really cranking out some great work! All of these figures look awesome! Thanks for the reeference shots, they look spot on. Also love seeing the Rancor Pit as a backdrop!

Thanks spry,taken a bit of a break from the dio.......time and money being spent getting kids stuff ready,stoking up the chest freezer etc but after this weekend I'm gonna crack on and get it going again.

Cool! I look forward to seeing the finished piece!

Worked out pretty darn good and instead of another Malak costing the earth (£30 and up) it cost me a tenner.
Got 3 of him now and 3 of Revan and all 6 stand me in at £40.

Nice additions to the Mando camp dio!  I'm liking the Kaminoan!

I almost forgot about doing Kina ha and scout until reading up a CW page on wookiepedia looking for a pic of Ventress.
Kina Ha started off as Taun WeW
Upper body sculpted from Kaminoan outfit into Jedi body armour.
Helmet is a modified Anakin battle of naboo fighter pilot. Wedge shape removed at the back and closed up shrinking it's diameter down to fit Her head.
Waistcoat from CW Aurra Sing.
Jedi belt from Aayla Secura,cloth from an Ashoka Tano I believe.
Comic pack Leia was the basis for Scout.......I think I've posted that previously.

Anyhow......I'll stop waffling away,Here's Darth Malak refurbished.

General Krell Vs Rex and his 501st finally assembled,sculpted and complete with lightshow

[Mando Assasin]

Krell is AWESOME!

[ghostskull18]

Krell is Amazing! You are lucky on those malaks!, mine is held together with pins lol 

[benjani_1976]

Thanks guys,Krell took some doing and plenty of patience. 
Been quite lucky with my eBay hunt for rarities.......
I got a complete Malak with hilt and saber,and a revan complete both picked up cheap in among other figures.
Another Malak needs sabers and the one I just repaired,got another revan with a replicated cloak......need to make another hooded cloak for the 3rd.

What's wrong with your Malak? Maybe it can be repaired and still look original?

That he is but it's only the cape that would worry me.
The waist and neck can be resolved with either a couple of self-tapper screws or an easier fix is my ball joint tutorial.
Is the cape simply torn but complete or is there any portion ripped off and missing?

Awesome customs man

Cape torn off at the neck band? Ouch..........but if you got everything it's usually repairable,had a similar thing with a Revan..........looked like it was trashed by an angry housewife

thanks for the link, yup lol, ah lol

[wraithnine]

Krell looks superb!

[JediMerc]

You'd never even know that it's a custom Krell: looks straight outta the package.  Very nice job!

[benjani_1976]

Thanks guys,took some working out but he's a nice addition to the collection.

Haven't done much lately but here's some WIP shots.
In yellow it's a mandalorian neo crusader called Bralor. Fully articulated and includes removable helmet and Ye Olde jetpack.
In white I've started doing an Imperial Shocktrooper. Specialist in heavy weapons tactics.
Then a more up to date version of grand admiral Thrawn.
And in anticipation of the old cast possibly returning for episode VII I am about halfway through altering a ROTJ Luke into a more robust and aged Jedi Master with a hint of old Ben Kenobi about him.

Added some middle age spread to Luke around the midriff,arms and legs...........and a greying to the hair and a sculpted beard.

Oh and a couple of female pilots from bits and bobs knocking about. The mon calamari helmet was the very first custom part I made. Did it by hand before getting into casting. Piece of thin film over an Ibitsam head,moulded the putty and carved by hand with a blade.......still looks cool and fits like a glove.

[Mando Assasin]

The crusader looks AWESOME!
