"Old Painless" is up for grabs
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, June 30 2009
Just when you thought you would never be able to get your army outfitted with heavy railguns, Clint goes and casts em. $10 smackers for two seems a tad cheap to me after all the work that went into em, but I won't argue. He is even painting them for just three bucks extra and is throwing in a resin head set at two smackers if you buy two sets. Needless to say his ebay store is full of goodies too.
Clonehead is still cranking em out!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, June 30 2009
His latest project is a Clone Wars trooper based on the shadow markings of his last RC project and one of Wraithnine's customs displayed earlier. Daggone, I am loving that flip vizor. He says it is not quite done yet, but you could have fooled me. Great work Clint.

Thriller moves performed by Vader and Troopers
-- Posted by Clonehead on Friday, June 26 2009
I wasn't a huge fan of his music but remember how much of an impact that Michael Jackson had on the music industry when I was a young lad. The man had alot of talent as was evident by his music and signature moves. In tribute to the passing of the king of pop, I have posted a link to this YOUTUBE video of a Thriller themed performance during Disney's Star Wars weekends.

Shadow squad republic commando finished
-- Posted by Clonehead on Monday, June 15 2009
I finished my version of a Shadow Squad Republic Commando figure, today. I threw a flip-visor and some of that black-light reactive neon paint on this guy, plus, gave him a "ole painless" mini gun. You can find plenty of pictures and in-production commentary in my customs thread. You can find a link to his auction, Tuesday, on the homepage of my ebay store, or in my Ebay store and auctions thread.

Spudafett is giving you a chance!

We have all been admiring Spudafett's customs lately and he just listed a few of them on the bay. Be sure to check out his list and daggone I may just to have to bid on that lava trooper even though I am just an TESB boy now.
Shadow RC anyone?
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, June 12 2009
I doubt it takes you long to figure out who is doing this one. Clonehead is creating his very own Shadow RC with a flip vizor! I sure would have like to have seen markings like this on that EE Omega Squad. Hasbro are you taking notes?!
Master Fett shows some great "Hothy" troops
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, June 12 2009
Ofcourse I am quite partial to the Battle of Hoth and these latest rebel solider customs from Master Fett are nice. It sounds like he is still wondering about a decent head for Luke, but hey aren't we all!

I know we have quite a few on-site so when I saw this I thought of them. It looks like there are three separate offers from Hasbrotoyshop.com. The first(pictured above) is the in-stock movie preview M.A.R.S. troopers followed by an offer of 8 carded Joe troopers for $50 smackers and finally a free figure offer if you buy any dvd battlepack. Deals are good!
Hangarbay 94 is just "chillin"
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, June 11 2009
Well we have all been loving the images of his death star hangar and Endor platform he rolled out for us the past few weeks and his latest is no exception. He has created a chill out room where he can put together various odds and ends including set piecies, custom vehicles, characters, photoship editing, etc. This guy is talented!
Clonehead is still busy!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, June 11 2009
I don't know how the guy does all of the work he shows us everday. His latest is showing off some of his new cast pieces including "old painless" as well as putting some great new light effects on a Vader and Nihilus. Awesome work Clint, I wish I had your drive!

Awesome work Clint.
Master Fett shows us a Youngling
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, June 10 2009
Lets just say the Jedi Temple is growing around Fett's place. This time its a great alien youngling that definitely looks like he came from the Temple. I could see this one battling Anakin at the Temple during Order 66.

Wraithnine gives us another peek!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, June 9 2009
This time it is a great 99th assuault corps clone pilot with support clones and a 327th clone with a removeable helmet. I must say The Clone Wars figures have not looked so good to me. Keep it up Wraithnine!

Clint reviews the Alien X-Wing Comic Pack
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, June 9 2009
I think we all liked the look of this set. For too long have we been reading about EU X-Wing pilots and now we are finally getting some alien versions. Clint gave both of these his approval and I only think he wished the Quarren would have had a pistol holster like his counterpart.
Clonehead shows us what he has been up to!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, June 9 2009
Wait till you see the next round of parts that are going to be created in the workshop of our Clonehead. I am really digging that big gun and Apartment Fett Armor. Once again, Clint shows you how it is done step by step!
Celebs dressed as SW characters!

Grilled meat never tasted so good thanks to this new Death Star grille. Can you imagine eating your next hamburger from this bad boy? And I thought the toaster was over the top!
Doc is getting closer

He is getting nearer to finishing his four man sniper squad. He is having a slight warddrobe problem with a pesky belt! Tune in to see how this shapes up.
New pics of upcoming ships!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, June 8 2009
Our Yarders have been scouring the net and look what they have come up with! First off from Jedinews is the new Republic Gunship which features drop down doors and is supposedly coming in two differing models from a Crumb bomber exclusive to Toysrus to another as yet undetermined one from Wal-Mart. Next up is new Y-Wing pictures as realeased by Jedidefender. That one looks to be huge! Thanks for the updates Yarders.
Look at the versatility!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, June 8 2009
Would you believe that this is actually the backside of Hangarbay 94's death star diorama?! Not only is he building awesome sets, but he makes sure each one is able to serve as a piece of yet another diorama. Ofcourse you need to take a look at the great paint jobs those ships are sporting too.
Where Science meets Imagination touring Australia
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, June 8 2009
Some of you might remember last year that our Darth C wrote up a report about his visit to this exhibit and it looks like it is headed to visit Darth Aussie! Just how far are we away from Star Wars tech? It is a lot closer than one would think!

-- Posted by Clonehead on Sunday, June 7 2009
Forum member Masterfett gives us another impressive update on the continued growth of his custom jedi collection! I tell you what, Hasbro is missing out on all of the cool jedi that they could have created. Good thing for us that we have Masterfett!
Darth Revenge is revamping!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, June 7 2009
Take a peek at one of the levels for his new Deathstar Diorama. I am loving that tie gantry. You can see his paint work is phenomenal as well. Nice work Franck!
Clonehead is still customizing!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, June 7 2009
Take a look at this desert ops clone! I think Clint must be getting tired of all the high detail snow camo, but surely thats not it. This is an awesome figure that is nearing completion. I am really liking that jet pack too.
Need a part?
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, June 7 2009
We have all been frustrated at times with having figures or vehicles that were missing just a small part or two. We also have little experiements we would all love to try yet the experiment doesn't justify the expense of buying another figure just for a part. Does this sound like something you have dealt with? Well, worry no more, our Clonehead is custom casting and delivering the parts you need! Just take a look at his parts list to figure out all the details.
Simply Speechless!
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, June 6 2009
That is what I was for a good while when I saw the pictures from this Endor Platform Diorama. You are just going to have to view it for yourself. The level of craftmanship in this is amazing. Hangarbay94 is creating dioramas of exceptional scale. I have to wonder what he will show us next.
Doc is sniping away!
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, June 6 2009
Just when you think Doc couldn't improve his sniper team anymore he goes and does! He has decided to change a few things for his squad and you are just going to have to see his changes to appreciate it. Speaking of Doc's great work, please go read some of his fan fiction about a droid named Fixer. You won't regret it. Thanks for the update Doc.

Another great custom in the works
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, June 5 2009
You knew it wouldn't last long till another great custom popped up. This one came from Narceron's WIP Help Thread, but this one is looking pretty good to me. I love the armored forms, but it is nice to see some regulary attired figures every one in awhile. It also seems they are planning a little customizing shindig!
Take a look at this!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, June 5 2009
We take this break from Star Wars customizing to bring you this special announcement,"Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls: We Have A Real ‘Star Wars’ Death Star!," according to the Colbert Report. All joking aside, it does like like the world's first superlaser capable of creating temperatures and pressure equal to that of a star or a large planet’s core has been created. All it needs is a weapon's platform. Can you imagine seeing a real Death Star in our lifetimes?!
Hangerbay 94 shows us his stuff!

This place is turning into a regular custom's extravaganza and our latest member; Wraithnine is showing off some great work in the cutsoms threads. While it seems he is partial to clonetroopers and astromechs, my jaw dropped when I saw the shadow V-Wing and Republic Gunship he painted up.
Doc is spreading the faith!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, June 4 2009
One of Doc's "minions" has showed off her work here in our forums. Lets face it, there is no other way to describe this as anything but utterly adorable. It seems she has talked her overlord into some new diorama parts as well. Thanks for the update Doc.
Clonehead is still cooking!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, June 4 2009
What I mean by cooking is that he goes step by step to show you how he does all of his casting and fabrication. Does anyone know of any customizer who has shared so many of his secrets? We here at the Shipyards are quite proud of our Clonehead if you haven't noticed. Go check his casting thread to see the other goodies he has cooked up.
Spudafett shows off two great new customs
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, June 4 2009
I got up this morning and hit the customs board knowing it would have some new additions. However, I was totally blown away by his new female Mando and retooled Terminator. The small graphics above just don't do the figures justice, you need to go to spudafett's custom thread to see the full details. That new female Mando knows how to kick some tail too! Thanks for the update Spudafett.
