Topic: USD's Customs

Feels great to open a custom action figure link.  I finally pushed myself to by paint and an action figure last night.  Hope you enjoy the figures posted here.

[UnitedStatesDemocrat]

The first figure I am posting here is a commander out of the Eagle Squadron, out of the 501st.  He is not posted in the drawings I had done, but he is a newer addition.  I do not have a name yet, though.  Feel free to make any suggestions for names.  Finally, may I present my first custom figure!

Looks cool to me, Dan! Good job!

[UnitedStatesDemocrat]

Thanks everyone.  Next, I have a trooper out of that commander's squad that I customized.  Again, no names yet.

Thanks Phatty!

very nicely done. my first didnt turn out that good. or my second... or third... or ninth........
 i am partial to the blue. and anything resembling the 501st.
wonder what that would look like on a phase one clone?
great job and look forward to seeing your future projects.

I like that one too, Dan! Let's see another one, buddy.

Seeing all the other customs on here makes me want to make another.  First I have to go out and get the materials, but you should see one up probalbly by Tuesday seeing as I have to go to Hershey tomorrow, but I think I'm going to make another.  Also, the two customs I made before this now have names, the first one being Flare and the other Sparky.

I have a drawn template ready and am working on a design.  I hope the final action figure turns out as good as all of yours.  My last ones weren't really that great, so I now know how to improve.  Learning from my mistakes.

usd your already surpassed my skills if your doing templates and designs before the actual build!    lol  I usually just throw spare parts in a box, shake it up, throw in some super glue and hope a decent figure comes out of it all....  ok well it's a little more complicated than that but I hardly ever do any project with actual planning before hand, usually just a general idea of what I want to do and just sit down and do it.  My girl is always yelling at me about my "eyeballing" my paint jobs and gluing and things.  I'm glad she hasn't noticed the crooked shelves in the garage dio yet!   

anyways, I'm rambling.  the figs look great.  I bet that paint job would look great on a phase 1 clone.  DO IT!

[UnitedStatesDemocrat]

Thanks, spudafett.  But that's the problem right there.  I tryed searching for a regular Phase 1, Phase 2, or just Clone Wars Trooper and they had nothing at Toysrus or Wal-mart.  Looks like this project might drag on a little while longer.  I might just try an ARF Trooper if I'm desperate.

I'm gonna work on some new designs, but keep the old ones as well.  Make designs for what I can work with.
