Thanks.
They were my main inspiration. I also took ideas from other costumes, but nothing too specific, it came down to the parts I had.

PS. Is there a way of breaking open the hard plastic type chest pieces without damaging anything on the figure?
I always have a problem trying to use hard plastic parts, and I can never get the arms out of them; no matter how much I boil them.
Thanks.

I've been loving your OTC characters, but the femtrooper is such an original custom.  She's gorgeous.  I think I even have a pic of her on one of my Pinterest boards.
 
I did see a technique for cracking a hard plastic chest piece in a tutorial on figurerealm dot com.  You have to get a drill bit under the waist and drill a hole shallowly into the plastic seam on both undersides of the torso.  Then, you have to pry it open with a really small flat head screwdriver.  I haven't tried it myself, but good luck.

The fem-trooper turned out magnificent! The parts all blend seamlessly and your pain applications are brilliant.

As for the hard plastic bodies, I find them a challenge, but when boiled I sometimes find I can separate the body at the seam without breaking them (using a flatblade jewelers screwdriver). Other than that I don't have any magic technique.

Thanks for your shares and comments, and thanks for the tips.

Here's one from the Classic Expanded Universe. Leia Organa (Scuba Diver) from the Classic Marvel Star Wars comic story: The Iskalon Effect



Mainly from repainted TVC Aurra Sing. Arms and repainted gloves from TBS Mara Jade. Lower legs from Harry Potter Luna Lovegood with feet from TBS Bastila Shan.
Repainted front part of head from TBS Bastila Shan, combined with back of head from POTJ Leia General.



Rebreather straight off TAC Concept Starkiller Hero. Goggles modified from POTF Chewbacca Mechanic. Custom made diving belt.







Hope you like it. I'll have another Classic Marvel Star Wars character up soon.

Nice! Simple, but highly effective, she's instantly recognizable as Dani. Great use of that funky Mara head too, looks way better as Dani than Mara.

Scuba Leia looks good, great combination on the head. Dani really pops. You did a great job pulling together the parts and the modifications to Mara Jade's head really work. Brilliant!

Hi. I’ve not put anything new up for a while. but I’ve got a few customs I’ve recently completed. So here’s some images, hope you like…

Ellorrs Madak, Bannis Keeg and Danz Borin



Ellorrs Madak: Uses top half of POTJ Ellorrs Madak, with legs from ROTS 34 Clone Pilot. Bannis Keeg: Mainly from ROTS 22 Kit Fisto, plastic skirt replaced with soft goods, and head from POTJ Ellorrs Madak.



Danz Borin: Body is the same as Ellorrs Madak custom, but this one uses hands from Clone Pilot. Head is modified from an ‘Ogre’ (The Corps! Elite) figure. In the UK it’s a Wilko’s Heroes figure.



I should have one or two more soon. Cheers
