[Starchaser]

Its been a bit, but here's a couple of simple head swaps I did earlier this summer.

A Sullustan Jedi called Bauu Duhan.





Head = Dllr Nep (from comic pack)
Body = Vintage collection ep. 1 Obi-Wan

Sanna Gadrian, chief aide to the Senator from Alsakan.





Head = Rise of Cobra Scarlett
Body = Senator Padme (Legacy Evolutions)

ActionFigEmpire - Thanks for the kind words, hope you got to see the recipes

Tamer - Thanks again for the encouragement

Barmic_Rin - Thanks for the affirmation. Sculpting is a new venture for me and I still have a long way to go

Halnarthax86 - Thanks!

I really appreciate the encouraging environment that this community nurtures.

My comments are on the front page.

Here's just a fun "mash-up." I just put an Endor Rebel helmet and bandolier on Beta Ray Bill. He works for Star Wars as a random mercenary.



And OryZen Fallo, a freighter pilot. Originally he was going to be my attempt at a more realistic Lepi (Jaxxons species) but someone else suggested he looked like a Squib (squirrel type species). So I decided he would have had a Squib father and a Lepi mother.





Head = Green Lantern Classics Ch'p
Body = GI Joe 25th Sgt. Airborne

[Tamer]

Pretty cool alien species. Man you really ought to finish that beta ray bill. He makes an excellent rebel soldier. Off to share.

Great stuff!  Love the hybrids

[Starchaser]

Here's a couple of more involved customs:

Krysa “Jack” Besalt – late teens; slicer; her dad and brother are in prison in the Corporate Sector for their slicing work; mother is dead, so effectively she's an orphan; she's quite vengeful toward CorSec. She gets liberated from a Corporate Sector Security detail by Yubookoo (the Wookie) and becomes a part of his team.





Recipe:
     Head = Kaiyodo-Takara Dead or Alive figure - Ayane
     Upper Torso = Animated Aayla Secura
     Arms = Cato Parasitti
     Lower Torse = Cato Parasitti
     Legs = Animated Aayla Secura
     Accesories: Vest=Angelica Teach (Pirates: On Stranger Tides); Computer=OTC Lobot

Raan, a Tinnell. He works as a scout for hire in the Outer Rim territories.



Recipe:
     Head = Green Lantern Classics Dex-Starr (repainted)
     Body = Voolvif Monn

Here a simple head swap (this just worked too well to pass up - maybe we could call it a clone officer's dress uniform, or "Clones of the Confederacy"):



Recipe:
      Head = Animated Clone Trooper
      Body = 30th Anniversary Cobra Commander

A Rebel intelligence operative named Neema Brinn, a natural empath/telepath (possibly with Umbaran blood in her family line):





Recipe:
     Head = Juno Ecilpse
     Upper Torso = ROTS Luminara Unduli
     Upper Arms = Breha Organa
     Forearms = Comic Pack Bultar Swan
     Lower Torso and Legs = Animated Clone Wars Anakin
     (Gun = POTF2 Lobot)

You sir are awesome.   

[Starchaser]

Thanks Wardog (blush, blush). I really do appreciate the encouragement.

[Tamer]

Oh yes, very nice. Off to share the latest update.

[Sjefke]

Krysa is so Elf-like.  Nice kit-bashing.   Everything is nicely proportionate.

[Starchaser]

Been away from the threads for a bit (busy schedule adapting to a new school year). Thanks for the feedback Tamer. I appreciate your faithfulness in checking the threads and posting new work, thanks for being such an active administrator. Sjefke, thanks for the compliments. Hadn't thought about the elfin quality of the dead-or-alive head, but you're right.

Fall is a crazy busy season in the "Starchaser" household, so I don't have a lot of time for customs. I did manage to finish some older projects in the last week or so:

First, at Tamer's suggestion, I did some camo work on Beta Ray the Rebel Commando (and I took the sleeves off the Vintage Rebel Commando cloak):







I decided to keep the "shirt" dark just for contrast with the other rebel commandos. It's a bit hard to see the different shades of green for camo in the picture. First time painting camo, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Second, I wasn't happy with the Tinian likeness from the bounty hunter contest, so I looked around and found a G.I. Joe Valor vs. Venom Scarlett that looked a lot more like the illustrations of Tinian from sources like Wookieepedia.

First version:



Second version:



Third, I put together a Twi'lek rebel operative:



This is a re-paint of a ROTS Aayla head and the body from a comic pack Commando Deena Shan.

Finally, Treis Sinde, and Imperial Knight from the Legacy comics:



Body (and lightsaber) = Comic Pack Ganner Krieg
Head = Custom (I think from angelforge.com)

That's it for now (and maybe until after Christmas!).

[Tamer]

Oh yeah, that camo work kicks this up a notch or two. That Twi Lek operative looks fantastic too!

[Starchaser]

Hey Tamer, thanks for the feedback and encouragement. Glad you approve of the new Beta Ray. I would have settled for just adding the accessories, but I think you're right, the camo does help "finish" the figure.
