I've been thinking hard about the custom contest, and have the pieces for these figures I'd like to make and if good enough enter in the contest. This will at least give me one to focus on, and if it doesn't turn out I'll focus on the next highest. Hopefu

I think he's pretty cool with removable jetpack and removable lightsaber hilts on his belt from jedi he's killed. One of my best. I'm actually going to sell his soon, I sell customs to pay for the customizing hobby, and to provide what Hasbro won't. Hope you guys like it, and all others I've done I show here https://www.facebook.com/DarthArmoressCustoms

Custom Sith Assassin
« Reply #7 on: September 14, 2014, 10:12:37 PM »
My Latest Figure is this sith assassin I listed today. It's the first time I tried like a mummy wrap around the head and neck. They're wrapped separately of course so no movement is restricted, and I managed to keep the head shape. I like that this is a figure represents how keeping scraps and thinking of how to use pieces for other than what they are can turn out great, like the eye slit is just scrap of plastic from a helmet I cut up, the armor pieces on the boots were holsters I cut off another figures sculpt, and the armor on the arms are pieces of a hat I cut up.

It's also a good example of my sharpies on the joints, personally I think I used a little too much because his inner elbows shine a bit, but the problem is solved!

Wow, great customs. I particularly like the Iktotchi Mando. The paint job is really superb.

This one's interesting, I was working on this Sith Sorcerer for a while now, and saw the other figure at Big Lots and thought "wouldn't that make a cool sithspawn?" I also happened to get my first shipment of clay that same day to start sculpting, I'll show how that is going later, but with it could easily make spines for him. Hope you guys like the idea too!

So as I said in my previous post, I got my first batch of clay to sculpt with and love it! I use Magic Sculpt and have already found many uses for it. Like here on one of the figures I'm working on (I'm to ADD to only work on one at a time), I sculpted the hands and forearm, but it's kind of bulky... Managed to get the scale texture though, and where the head is one I bought cheep because it's defective, I put some clay inside and moved the ball joint's full range of motion to make the perfect fit for the body when it dried. Well, hope you guys like.
