Just finished a new card for another figure...I'm trying to complete all Star Wars figures as my first intermediate goal, the last two to do are Hammerhead and Luke Stormtrooper (POTF) - of which I just completed the latter... :D



Parts are: Luke Stormtrooper body (Legacy), head from Black Series Luke Yavin Ceremony, belt from TVC TK-421 (Scanning Crew set, because of the grappling hook ;) ), Black Series E-11 Blaster Rifle, helmet from Mission Series Luke Stormtrooper.

I worked on the torso region to shorten him a bit and sculpted the missing rest of the neck seal. Afterwards he was repainted with acrylics and I designed a new cardback for him:

Been watching your work and its inspired me alot to package my custom figures. I want to make some of these cards for myself and would appreciate any tips on how to start.  What do you use to print them out on and what type of card stock is used? If you can add any details into the production that would be cool. Also where do you source your photos from in such high quality? Really want to create a card for my Sy Snootles I'm working on. Thanks again and your stuff is what Hasbro should be doing with the star wars line.

...it's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but I've had a small operation in a hospital mid-April and even though it was all planned in advance it still took more time to recover from that than I'd thought before...

Anyway, here's my next addition...couldn't really leave that Luke Stormtrooper all by himself... ;)



Han received a new head, a new E-11, a new helmet (Mission Series) and a full repaint. I also designed the cardback for him...  :)

Thanks a lot for that! :) Sorry for the late reply (see above ;) ), I'll send you a PM as soon as I have the time, I'm sure I can provide a few helpful tips...

Lately things have been real hectic here (family, work etc.) lately, so I didn't get to do much new figure customising. I'm currently focusing on completing my own collection of TFA vintage-style figures...and even though those are only 5POAs, I really like the results so far. Here's a pic I took last weekend of my current TFA display at home:



On Monday I finished three more figures:



Want to complete the first 30 now, also working on my fourth wave of designs at the moment (figure #31 - #40).

They sure look good at the top of the front page. Man, those are great. I so wish Hasbro had adopted this style when they released these figures.
