Saw that on FB yesterday DS and liked it. Time for a front page update with it. You folks are coming up with some great custom six inch figures!

Ron, one of the problems is how thick these 6 inch scale helmets are.
It will keep me from being able to offer the cheaper rate for shipping overseas as that rate requires an envelope that is no thicker than 3/4 of an inch. They let me cheat sometimes. We will have to see.

Thanks for letting me know mate.

darthstreams - Mate chewie is looking amazing.

This is my WIP of Obi Wan in Mando armor. His hair looks funky because I had to sand it down a little bit so it would fit into the helmet. I also dremeled and sanded the Boba neck nub until the Obi Wan head would fit on there. Then I dremeled out the helmet until it would fit. Which was kinda scary because I had to make it really thin in some areas. Enjoy, and obviously I still have a lot of painting to do.

Too cold for iron work today.
I ended up using a part from a model airplane sprue and the head and part of the shaft of a stick pin to make codys antennae
I joined the two and sculpted the bottom curve of the antenna wrapping around the pin with superglue.
"Yes spry, I do sometimes sculpt with superglue"

I drilled a hole and countersink hole into the head to receive the pin shaft and am calling it fabbed.
Got to get this head into a mold bath so I can get one out and get some paint on it.

Apparently I forgot to cross post my original pic of this Guy last week. But I am working on a Dred Priest custom (hand picked Mandalorian by Jango Fett to train clones). Based on how my custom output has been limited I'm thinking he is my entry into this challenge. Here is his current state. Still thinking I need to give him his shin guards. Also need to clean up his straps and add some ammo to his armor (or taquitos...really no idea what exactly is it he has attached to the bottom plate on his torso in reference pics)

I think I would put that in the " holy crap! File"
I have been wondering if someone was going to tackle this guy.
Very nice wip submissions here guys

Wow, that Dred Priest looks fantastic. Love the paint job on that one Tim. Gonna use that one for the update today.

Clint, looks like your trooper is coming along nicely too. It will no doubt look better than the Cody Hasbro told us they were making.
