Jedi Wolf 69 gives us an update.
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, January 29 2010

Looks like it has been another good week for customs and this Shadow Rex is another great one. There is some conjecture about adding some vizor color to this one, but all of us like it! Nice work. There is also a Cad Bane in clonetrooper armor that turned out nice too.

Sprywalker gives us another Dio Update
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, January 29 2010

Great job!

-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 26 2010

Pat just posted some High Rez shots of these great new offerings from Gentle Giant and I must say whether its the new Slave Leia Animated Maquette or the new Darth Revan Mini-Bust they are both must haves in my opinion. As always you just cant go wrong with mint condition gauranteed not to mention thier unparalled customer service.

New Products from Gentle Giant!
-- Posted by Phatty on Tuesday, January 26 2010

Gentle Giant has sent word or two new Star Wars products debuting in February! You may have seen them in some of our Sponsors' Ads, but now you can see hi-res views of these in our forums!

Clonehead gives us a blast from the past!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 25 2010

I don't think he was liking his painting style on this one, but I think it looks great. That custom rifle he outfitted his sniper with is nothing to sneeze at either. Looks good to me Clint!

-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, January 22 2010

I must admit this is my favorite character from the Republic Commando Series and Pat has just done a great job on this figure. He has also listed a great looking clone and jedi custom along with this update. He must be painting in his sleep.

Check out this Rex helmet!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, January 22 2010

Yepper, I said Rex helmet. This is what you can do with this Toy helmet in the hands of a great customizer. I must say this one sure does make one want to get a set of armor to go with! Nice one Ultimate Durge!

Looking Back...
-- Posted by UnitedStatesDemocrat on Thursday, January 21 2010

In a recent look back at the 1978 Thanksgiving Day special, George had second thoughts about this horrible program.

Oh Hasbro.....
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, January 21 2010

Look at what our Spuda Fett did for the AT-AT driver using a combination of Joe parts. Just look at the poses in his thread and you will see that hands down Devin just made the most articulated, best posing driver that I have ever seen. Hmmm...how to get Hasbro to do this on thier own? Hmmm...how to get Devin to make me about two dozen of these?

Wow!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, January 21 2010

I just don't know what to say. I posted starting pics of this project recently, but I just had to show it again as the finished product just blows the doors, guess I should say hatches, off any AT-ST I have ever seen before. Helix88 just created one of the most awesome piecies of ground destructive force ever created in the SW universe.

Jules gives us another taste
-- Posted by Clonehead on Thursday, January 21 2010

As a prelude to the release of the next installment of Hangerbay94's Dark Child Chronicles, Jules has posted a wip still shot of a flight sequence that he is working on for the next mouth watering section of the story.

-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, January 20 2010

Welcome Commander Fiq. I am loving the weathering job on these CW style troopers. Welcome to the Yards!

I normally wait until the custom is finished, but...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, January 20 2010

I just couldn't once I saw the firepower that had been amassed by this custom new model at-st by one Helix88. I am so pysched to see him get into vehicle customs. Can an AT-AT be in the works? I sure hope so!

Jedihunter226 makes another killer Mando

Wraithnine gives us a Jedi General!
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, January 20 2010

Yepper, you heard right, this one is not an astromech or clone trooper. This one just looks top notch to me and I love the backstory that he made for this one. Nice work Jay!

This place is going clone customs crazy!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 19 2010

Clone Medic 96 has unvieled his latest batch of Clones. I like the group shots in there too. Nice work guy!

Fiala reviews the two X-Wings from Revell

Helix88 shows an outstanding "Outer Rim" custom
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 19 2010

We have all been loving his clonetroopers, but his latest batch included some non-clones and I must say the backstory for this one is off the charts. Great work!

Jedi Wolf 69 joins the customs boards!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 19 2010

I am really liking his camoed up republic fighter tank, and there are some similar ground vehicles in his thread. I must say the figures he has customized are pretty daggone nice too. Welcome to the Yards!

Stich Fett shows us a non microman SW figure!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 19 2010

Not that I am against his micro-man customs, but this one really suprises me by the body that he uses. The small pic above doesn't do it justice and that republic symbol on the shoulder is over the top! It looks great Stich Fett.

DanoftheDead joins our customs boards!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 18 2010

I can see Dan is no newbie when it comes to customs. The corpse droid pictured above is but a taste of what he has shown us so far in his customs thread. I love those RCs too Dan. Welcome to the Yards!

Jtrooper gives us some sneak pics of his new dio!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 18 2010

Is this place going customs crazy today or what! The latest update is Jtrooper's new JTS Intrepid Dio. If this is just a sneak peek, I can't wait to see the full blown reveal!

Wraithnine reviews the new Commander Stone!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 18 2010

Yepper, our Wraithnine has got his hands on a new sculpt Commander Stone and while the paint apps seem to be impressive the overall impression I got from our resident Clone Wars expert was less than positive. I just hope this isn't the model Hasbro plans to go with! Nice review Jay.

Stitch Fett is amazing us all!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 18 2010

I am telling you, the customs I am seeing here lately are just awe inspiring. I just noticed some new shots Stich Fett posted and needless to say they are jaw dropping. Make sure you hold onto your chin when going into his customs thread. Awesome work.

JediHunter226 makes Kal Skirata
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 18 2010

Clone Medic 96 churns out some Mandos!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 18 2010

I am really liking his backstory on this Clone who refused to take part in the assault on the Jedi Temple and turned Mando. There is also another great clone trooper medic in his thread. Just nice work all around.

-- Posted by Clonehead on Sunday, January 17 2010

NFC shows us Heater's Gang!
-- Posted by Clonehead on Sunday, January 10 2010

Forum member NFC has shown us his interpretations of characters from the Star Wars radio drama in the past. This time, he has made Heater's Gang which was a squad of goons working for Jabba the Hutt. These all look great, NFC! What an imagination you have, my friend.

And Jule's latest victim is............
-- Posted by Clonehead on Friday, January 8 2010

As we all know, Hangerbay94 likes to randomly use an existing member's custom pics and do a bit of photo editing magic to create a whole new image to tantalize us with. Well this time, his victim is FilaFernbrugg who's latest figure was impressive enough but in this image, just rocks! Be sure to check out all of Jule's sneak attack photo edited pics in his You've Been Hangarbay'd!! thread.

Squirepec07 shows us a Stormy Engineer

Clonehead gives his Fox a custom base!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 5 2010

Well, we all have loved Clint's Custom Legacy Fox, but he just kicked it up a notch with a great mini-dio for said Fox and well as one of his support troops. Clint, this one is just tops in my book. If Hasbro had continued making anything like this I would still be into the Prequel items. Excellent work.

Meet Clonemedic's clone medic!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 4 2010

I just couldn't resist that title to go along with Clone Medic 96's great new clone trooper medic. It sure does look like this guy could patch up a trooper while dishing out some heavy punishment to some clankers.

-- Posted by Clonehead on Sunday, January 3 2010
