Great custom. 
That's the best use of Hair-monster Mara Jade I've seen so far.  Nice soft goods and excellent use of the feathers too.

and I'm glad I'm not the only one making customs of female characters this year.   ;D

That is a great looking custom figure of Charal! You found a great use for all those big hair Mara Jade heads that a lot of us customizers have collecting dust in our fodder bins.

Thank you everyone for the complimentary feedback on Charal. 

My next custom is an accessory for a figure.

As soon as I finished creating the extended bow rifle for my custom Agent Kallus action figure, I knew I needed to create an extended bow rifle to use with our Zeb action figures.  Especially if we wanted to recreate that epic battle between Kallus and Zeb in the Rebels episode Droids in Distress.

To make the extended version of Zeb's bow rifle I used some clear styrene rod and then used twisted clear rubber bands to simulate the pulsing energy strands found at the ends.  It used two of Zeb's rifles to arrange the bow rifle the way that I did it.  I included work in progress pictures at the bottom so you can see where I extended the bow rifle with the polystyrene rod.  The clear rubber bands are glued in place with krazy glue.  I drilled through and into some of the Hasbro bow rifle parts so the polystyrene would have stronger connections when glued into place.

Thanks! Not sure how much I'll dive into Rebels, but there were a few small adjustments I wanted to make to increase play-ability.
