Apocalyptic Custom Works
« on: September 16, 2012, 10:29:20 AM »
Hello.
My name is Adam I am from the UK and been an "artist" customizer since 2008. But long before that I've always looked at ways to improve and change all kinds of things. This thread is going to be full of my custom figures so all please share your thoughts and opinions about my work.
Any questions please ask.  

Sandtrooper Squad Leader  
 
This is my custom Sandtrooper figure he was made from a vintage collection Sandtrooper that was £3.99!!! what I did is give him a revamped paint job a more screen accurate T-21 light repeating blaster rifle and gave the other blaster rifle some silver dry brushing. Then I also added an elastic holster for the E-11  I also made the ram-rod/cleaner removable via an elastic strap on the back pack. I made the diorama stand from a ROC stand,some clear plastic (from packaging),sand and pieces of fodder.
                    
Painted with citadel paints.

Thanks all the comments are highly appreciated

Well I felt like keeping the star wars vibe with one of my all time favourite bounty hunters so decided to put up my Boba Fett custom he was made form vintage collection Boba Fett. What I did is re articulated his hips to ball joints what came from a prince of Persia figure. Gave him a black paint wash and a general repaint made the rocket removable via a screw and modified his cloak so it sat more to the way it did in the film and gave him material wookie braids and a metal antenna.
Thanks for looking comments welcome.

Great Work!  I like the life like posing of your figures with their own body parts.  Welcome to the Yards.
