Looks good. Back on the front page. It is good to see TCW Customs now that the line has been unfortunately cancelled.

Looks great!  Excellent likeness of the character...gosh, I'm missing this show already.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks guys!  I decided I'm going to take one more crack at her and tighten up the head sculpt and the paint apps.  I'll post new pics when I'm done with her.

Here is another WIP figure that I am almost done with.  I just want to add super detail to his eye and drybrush his hair to add some highlights to the black areas.  Here is what I have so far:

We also recommend checking out a feature we did on Wraithnine's D-Squad.  We recently added these awesome figures to Elias' collection.  They are definitely worth checking out:

So summer is here, and that means that I get to make all the customs until school is back in session.  Dad is hard at work on his own projects and while he is keeping himself busy, I am making a couple of cool figures of my own.  My latest creation is a figure we wanted to add to my Mos Eisly cantina diorama for quite a long time now.    Dad had bought the head cast by I-am-Boba-Fett a ways back on ebay planning to use it, but I beat him to it.  When Dad saw that I wanted to use it, he said to give it a go. The great thing about this Star Wars character is that you never see him from his chest down so customizers can get as imaginative as they would like with Melas south of there. I have seen a million different custom versions of his lower half, so I felt pretty comfortable winging it.  I figured since Melas was wealthy, he was most likely well fed and kept him looking plump.  

To make Melas, I used a cast head that was created by Star Wars customizer, I-AM-BOBA-FETT with a POTF Ketwol body.  I switched the lower arms out for Obi Wan Kenobi forearms and used Embo's hands to complete him.  Then I just painted him to look like he did on screen.

Looks even better than I hoped my version would look.  So glad you were the one that made him instead :) See I told you that you would be able to drybrushing.

Yeah, the kids skills with the brush are to be reckoned with. It's pretty impressive the rate at which he is improving.

Wow thanks guys :D

This figure was a team effort. I did the build using a recipe given to me by Star Wars customizer Peakob1. I used a Pons Limbic (Brainiac) torso, legs, and upper arms with the forearms of a Vintage Qinlan Vos, and the head of A POTF Cantina band mail awy action figure we had in our fodder. Dad cleaned up all the joints for painting and hard sculpted the torso with a Dremel. Then it was my turn again and I primed the entire figure with black paint. After the figure dried, I drybrushed the entire figure. To finish the figure, Dad painted washed on the head and painted a gloss sealer on the eyes. I'm trying my best to fill out my Cantina diorama.
