Dag Marus is back with a Nerf Bowcaster!
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 31 2016
"A month ago, my 4 year old nephew calls me up and asks "For my birthday, can you take my Nerf gun and make it look like Chewbacca's?"
Coolest thing that kid's ever asked me. All over it!
Well, after figuring out that the gun was his SISTER'S and not his , I went out and bought a Nerf crossbow. But it didn't come with a stock...so I MIGHT have scoured ebay until I found just the stock from another Nerf gun.
This is the paint job I did for him. The darker layers are over a silver base, so when he inevitably scuffs it up, it'll look legit. He was over the moon and immediately went and got his Chewbacca mask and hoodie."
Now that is one heck of a present!
BDC41866 is back with more to come!

Star Wars Superfans #GoRogue to Reveal New Toy Line...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 31 2016
"A team of Star Wars superfans today revealed the new toy line for the highly anticipated “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” movie via a series of fan-made animated shorts launching on the Star Wars YouTube channel. As part of a competition in collaboration with creative network Tongal,a team was assembled to write, direct and produce original, fan-made stop-motion shorts starring key toys from the new line to kick off a global UGC contest that asks fans to share their own “Rogue Stories.”
“These fan-created shorts are a tribute to the incredible content that the Star Wars community posts online every day,” said Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. “The Go Rogue campaign was designed with Star Wars fans in mind – we want them to be front and center in the run up to ‘Rogue One’ by imagining and creating their own Rogue Stories."
When Star Wars news breaks, many fans worldwide react by sharing their own videos online. According to new research[1], fans posted over 838,000 pieces of Star Wars-related content on YouTube in the past year alone, which is more than 2,296 per day and nearly 96 per hour. Star Wars fan-generated content is also incredibly popular, accruing more than 16.3 billion views in the last year – equivalent to everyone in the world viewing at least two fan-created videos.
The global contest, which kicks off September 30, invites fans to share their own short stories or skits set in a galaxy far, far away… Winning entries from around the globe will be chosen by a panel including “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” director Gareth Edwards. Beginning September 30, teen and adult fans can enter the Go Rogue contest on StarWars.com/GoRogue. In addition to the global contest on starwars.com, in the U.S. and parts of Canada, kids 8-12 can participate on Disney.com/MyRogueStory. Winners will be invited to Lucasfilm in San Francisco to attend a screening of “Rogue One,” and see their short story on the big screen.
The fan-created shorts showcasing the new line of “Rogue One” toys for the first time launches on the Star Wars YouTube channel today, with new installments rolling out through September. The team was led by James DeJulio at Tongal, and the series was written by Kevin Ulrich and brought to life by stop-motion animators and directors Dan MacKenzie and Tucker Barrie. The stories follow the adventures of “Rogue One” toys from Hasbro, LEGO, FUNKO, JAKKS Pacific, Mattel and Disney Store as they try to track down the building instructions to the LEGO Star Wars Death Star set which have been misplaced by the Empire."
I thought it was a cute way to show off some of the new toys we will be getting this fall.
Mr. Jedi 1977 starts some dioramas!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 30 2016
"Well i have decided to take a break from the figures for a bit and finally step into the world of dioramas! I have been wanting to do dioramas for a while but kept procrastinating and couldn't figure out what i should start with .But i found something that would be a bit on the easy side for me , and interesting since this one dio will make two diorama scenes ! These few photos are very early wips but i will be adding more when more work gets done."
I think that is great! I have been enjoying his carded customs for years now and think it is only natural to make a foray into dios.
BDC41866 gives us more!

"Here is another new kitbash. The color scheme worked out really well on this New Republic female Twi'lek Jedi Knight. More to come..."
I like how this one turned out too.
Ron Hembling shows us his progress...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 30 2016
"Hi All,
Nearly completed doing the leather, I just need to do some trimming and then do the padded front section of the saddle. I also need to do two rolls for the back and add a few extra greeblies and then start painting everything.
The green parts of the pouches are static grass and once painted will look like fur.
Ron"
It sure is looking great to me.
Stefan shares a new dio on our Facebook Page...

He gets his Shadow Forces ready for battle for today's update.
Panther shows us a custom Kanan...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, August 29 2016
"While I was creating the Sith Trooper, I acquired the twin pack of Kanan and Ezra Bridger in Stormtrooper cadets uniform. The figure of Kanan looked like a cheap knock off and since I already own a Kanan I thought this new figure needed an upgrade!
I have become a fan of the Rebels series and particularly loved the final episode of Season 2 which ties in my love for The Old Republic. For those of you who haven't seen it (shame on you!) but beware this next bit is a huge spoiler for the end!
The upgrade of my figure is based on the final duel between Maul and Kanan, after Kanan is blinded by Maul and locates a very old Temple Guards mask. While creating the armour for my Sith Trooper, I had some Green Stuff left over and thought that this would be perfect to create the Temple Guards mask.
Once it dried, I painted it white, used yellow for the detail on the mask, and desert sand for a wash over the mask to try and weather it."
He sure didn't wait long before getting right back on another custom project. I like it!
Panther finishes his Sith Trooper...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, August 29 2016
"I have finally finished my Sith Trooper this morning! I woke up at some ridiculous hour and used the time to complete this project. Painting his backup and adding the final touches to this character.
He has now joined my other custom SWTOR characters, trying to defend the Sith in the their temple.
There are more pictures on my Facebook page.
I hope you have enjoyed the transformation of what was a Snowtrooper into this Sith Troopper!"
Well I know I have. He has already started a new custom figure as of this posting!
The Spectre shows us a Direwarg...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, August 29 2016
"While wild Wargs roam the majority of the landmasses on Tolkien III, the larger 2 headed species known as Direwargs are far rarer.
Several Goblin clans utilize Direwargs as war mounts, riding into battle atop armored saddles. Direwargs are brutal and fearless on the battlefield, taking mortal wounds without retreating. Most Direwargs show scars from battle, often on their heads from their victims' attempts to evade being torn apart by the vicious canine creatures."
He goes on to state he is getting ready to work on the Direwarg Riders too. Lots of great stuff to see in The Spectre's Custom Thread along with most excellent back stories.
Mandalore 25 starts work on his 200th Custom Figure...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, August 29 2016
"So my last few figures have been bigger projects leading up to my 200th figure (don't worry after 200 here I'll go back to slowly, and silently keeping track). For #200 I decided to make Fierce Deity Link from Majora's Mask out of a Marvel Legends Machine Man to be approximately to scale with the Skyward Sword Link Figma figure, and to make it truly special, I took Machine man all apart to shave down, and super glued parts of the joints, so there will be no paint wear. This is my first time taking apart a 6in figure, so it was a little roughly done, but I think it went well. He's all put back together now, and so far no paint wear at all."
Thats just the start of the description and images for this already great custom figure.
Stefan Bottcher shares some great artwork...

The Spectre shows us the Chimera of Tolkien III...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 28 2016
"One of the strangest species found on Tolkien III is the Chimera, a creature comprised of feline, ungulate and reptilian characteristics often found in the mountainous regions of the planet. Chimeras are fierce carnivorous hunters known to hunt in packs and to devour much larger creatures than themselves. Chimera are feared by most other species indigenous to Tolkien III and are to be avoided at all costs."
That is just the start of a most excellent back story and set of images for this awesome beasty. Great work Dan!

Clonesniper78 is back with a Mando WIP...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 28 2016
"W.I.P. Old Vetern Mandalorian. Not sure who he is or could be. Just had this idea pop into my head. Need a cool hand to hand weapon. As you can see I used magnets for the head since I used an Odin head from Marvel Legends that won't fit on the Jango neck nub. I also put a magnet in Jango's head and I will permanently glue Jango's head into the helmet and sculpt some hair coming out of the helmet."
We just might have to call this Mando Day here at the Yards. I love the look and concept of this. Good to see a new custom from Tom too!
Steezy Collector is back with a new Mando...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 28 2016
"Another cool side Character from Jango Fett Open Seasons; A Mandalorian known as Myles that met his end at the hand of a Jedi when they attacked a Mandalorian camp. He was another good friend of Jango and I really liked his colour scheme (although different pages of the comic conflicted with itself on exactly what it is) So I went with a metallic blue and cyan. I hope you guys dig him!"
Well daggone give me a shovel cause I dig him a lot!

Panther continues to make progress on his Sith Trooper...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, August 26 2016
"Last night, I carried on with the backpack, re-using the Snow troopers existing backpack and sculpting it into the Sith Troopers using Green Stuff. Once its dry, I will use my rotary tool to sand it down, neaten it up and then paint it.
The trooper himself, well as you can see I set to work painting this bad boy up, need to finish his helmet off, add another layer of red, adding in the finishing details to his armour then followed by adding the Sith insignia to his helmet and shoulders."
He has sure came a long way from when this started out life as a Snow Trooper!

Ron Hembling starts a new project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, August 25 2016
"Hi All,
I try not to do two projects at once but I really couldn't hold back anymore, I had to start on the Stan Arts 1/12 Dewback.
The casting on the is excellent there is next to no seem lines and what there is of them took me 15 min all up to get rid of the. The legs and toes were glued with superglue and the legs were attached to the body using superglue as well.
I have my trusty helper Bob show how great a Bandai Figure works with this kit. I have some little gaps I have to fill and then I will be using this leather to cover the saddle and bridle as for the reins.
Ron"
Needless to say we are loving this so far!

-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 24 2016
"Hi All,
No to much of an update. I finished the chest section and have covered the joints on the legs and have started on the back of the armour.
I have also started adding plastic card and putty to the helmet so that I can shape it and then start adding the rest of the armour it the helmet.
If your wondering why I have only painted sections of him it because painting the areas I have sanded makes it easier to spot any cracks or uneven areas.
Ron"
And yet another great customizing tip from the customizing master Ron Hembling!
Mandalore 25 is back with an update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 24 2016
"Been a while, had to keep #199 on the down low to enter it in a contest, got 3rd place. I'm quite pleased how my Deku Link from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask turned out, he actually looks like wood. Started with the World of Nintendo minifigure, taking off the head and feet. Retooling the head, I bulked it up a bit to keep the scale factor, and cut the hat off to add in a swivel joint, so the clear stand could be used, and he can twirl like in the game. The body is from a Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails action figure with the hands and feet taken off."
Trust me there is a lot more to this build than the first part of his description above. This one is up for sale on eBay" if you are interested.
Darth Streams putting his 3D Printer to great use...

Panther figures out his Sith Trooper Helmet...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 23 2016
"I was looking at the Lego Sith Trooper's Toms helmet and thought to myself that I've pulled apart this Snowtrooper, rebuilt his armour and now I'm going to stick a Lego helmet on his head. I've got this far and that just felt like cheating a little, so I decided to cast the Toms helmet and make it a little larger. Something I have only done once before and that was making bones for my Rancor pit.
After taking the initial mold, I carved into the cast and made the helmet deeper and extending the face plate a little. It turned out rather well and Tom is happy because he gets his helmet back ;)!
I also added extra pieces onto his armour, extra bits onto his gauntlets, he just needs a little sand down and then I think he'll be ready to paint!"
I think it turned out rather well too!

Anigrand Resin kit. The base was inspired by the Falcon chase in the asteroid field from EP V. Please note, that the Falcon model is only 0.5 inches small."

Started on a small vignette of a Rogue One Shore trooper.
Everything is from Bandai except the lower legs and waist sections which is a Funko Rockteer figure.
The Scout troopers helmet as been trimmed down and I have started to putty the helmet before a start adding plastic card.
The chest section has been built up using plastic card and will be puttied and sanded.
I have put the Shore Trooper next to Bob for size comparison.
Ron"
I think it is looking great so far.
Panther continues his Sith Trooper build...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, August 22 2016
"Today I worked on his legs and arms, again using Green stuff to create the troopers armour. I'm leaving the helmet/rebuild until I have completed the work on the trooper.
I suddenly had wanted to see what he would look like with a Lego Sith Trooper's helmet, I know a fellow customizer used a Lego Troopers helmet for his figure and I suddenly wanted to see what it would look like. Is it me or does this actually work?"
It definitely seems to be a lot more to scale with this latest update.

"Here's some 6" WiP that I need to get my butt moving to finish. Starkiller in his dark lord armor, using a black series Kylo Ren figure. I dremeled down the figure, and sculpted the hell out of him. The small shoulder pads are held on by elastic bands, so that he retains full arm articulation. The other is a concept mandalorian I'm making out of a black series snowtrooper. I removed his chest armor, and sculpted over the figure."
Both seem like they are gonna be great!
Custom Creator is back with a two sided diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, August 20 2016
"Long story short. I made this for The Fwoosh summer custom swap. I was having a heck of a time getting any figures completed (many attempts and money spent on fodder sadly).
Anyway, the guy running the swap turned out to actually be my "swap", so we came up with the idea of a diorama and a little extra time to complete. This is probably my fastest diorama. I worked a total of maybe 20 hours on this over the course of a few days."
What a cool idea and most excellent execution!

Ron Hembling is back with a new dio...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, August 19 2016
"Hi All,
Started another commission the other day and has you can see it is a speeder dio. This dio will be different from usual as the will still be articulated so that the client can have the scout on or off the speeder. The speeder and figure were painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.
The base is high density foam and the base layer is a mix of spakfilla/PVA glue and paint and the dead tree is from the local bushland.
Ron"
It sure looks good to me!

"Last night was spent sanding and trimming round the troopers helmet but as you can see, I only managed to trim a little off the bottom to give it an angular look. I also trimmed the bottom of his waist and belt so I am able to fit him back together again. I still need to make his gauntlets and boots before applying any paint to him. I am still unsure about the helmet, do I stay with this or make a smaller one?"
Let him know what you think on his build!

Panther starts a new project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, August 18 2016
"After finishing my Jedi Ghosts project, its time to crack on with my next project a SWTOR custom Sith Trooper. A taken a 2008 Saga Legends Snow Trooper and disassembled him. I even cut away his helmet to build his helmet, thinking that I wouldn't need to use all of it.
I got some Greenstuff and built onto his torso armour, belt and adding extra armour to his legs.
His helmet, I have used more greenstuff but realized that I needed the part of the original helmet that I cut off. Covering the helmet in greenstuff, I stuck the helmet back together and then started to carve out the new helmet to resemble a Sith Trooper.
New boots and gauntlets need to be made next before piecing him back together."
He is off to a great start.

"Feels like I dropped off the face of the Earth - my first time here in a long time! If you've kept up with me on FB, you know over the last year and a half I've dealt with packing up my old house, buying and moving into a new one that needs a ton of work (which is still eating up all my time and energy), had a job change, and dealt with my father's death and the repercussions that had on my mother.
While my playset creating will continue, it will be much slower than the days when I used to churn them out every couple of months.
This summer I've managed to spend 3 days finishing out the Hoth 3.0 playset finally - which I've now renamed to "Hoth Rebel Base."
It was great to see him back and wow what I wouldn't give to see this on the shelf at my local stores. So great!

JDeck reviews a new Bandai Kit...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 17 2016
"I got my Bandai 1/72 TIE Interceptor yesterday. Its pretty cool. The one thing I was wondering about was the wing construction. The TIE fighter had wings you had to assemble, and the TIE X1 had prefabricated wings. This kit has the unassembled wings, which is great if you want to repaint. The color is accurate in that it's slightly more bluish than the other TIE fighters, like in ROTJ. This kit has 3 window options clear, grey and black. Other than that, and the wings its the same as the TIE fighter. It comes with the typical sitting pilot."

"Last night, I mixed up some PVA glue with sand and covered the hut with it to make a mud Ewok hut and let it dry. I am un sure what to do for the background, I printed off an Ewok background and I might stick it to a piece of card and use it as a back drop. The long tube to the right, is going to be a tree, I have printed e decal of a tree and stuck it to the tube but like the backdrop I am unsure of whether to use it or I scrap it and do a more natural background. I saw some one use scraps of card, stuck to a cardboard tube to make tree trunk, I gave that a go last night to see which I would prefer. The long tube with the decal on or a long tube made to look like a tree!"
His tree creations are pretty cool! I can't figure out which one I like the best!
Jon K is back with a Rogue One Custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 16 2016
"Starting to get pumped for Rogue One, so I thought I'd try my hand at Jyn Erso in both styles she's shown in the trailers. The first is in modified tie fighter gear shown at the end of the teaser trailer, and the second is the regular outfit from most of the shots. I just made one head for swapping between figures for consistency, I may eventually make a second, but no immediate plans."
He is back with two versions of Jyn and I must say I am really liking them both, especially the Imperial version.

"This is a female Nautolan that I made to accompany my Zatt Figure. Her body is from a female G.I. Joe (sorry, I don't know which one) and her head is a modified ROTS Kit Fisto head. I dremeled the head a bit to make it look a bit more feminine, and added a bit of color to her lips. I've included a "family photo" just for fun."
She looks perfect to me.

"Kazure was Captain Ithano's Quartermaster. His duties included hiring hands, distributing pay amongst the men, and most importantly preventing mutiny. During the Galactic Civil War, Kazure was a weapons dealer in the seedy spaceports of Ord Mantell. He was a fair businessman, however he was known to pull the arms out the sockets of those who were foolish enough to cross him. Kazure knew all the scoundrels across the galaxy, as Ord Mantell was a safe haven for those looking to avoid any Imperial entanglements.
He is a combination concept Chewbacca body, + I-am-Boba-Fett's Arleil Shous head. Its a great sculpt, my painting didn't do it justice, but I like it much better than the Lak Sivrak/ Volif mon head. Its real sinister looking."
I agree, pretty tough!

You will also notice I have put a little roof on, looking at it, this is too small and shallow, what I want is something bigger, which starts just above the door to where it stops now, then it will be thatched.
There is still more to do but I think its coming on nicely!"

-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, August 12 2016
"I certainly haven't posted in a while! Any way, here's the young Nautolan custom I made for my sister. She loved the Nautolan padawan "Zatt" from Star Wars The Clone Wars show, and was disapointed when Hasbro didn't make a figure of him. (no surprise there) I created this figure using a heavily modified Clone Wars Kit Fisto head on a Boush Leia body. I had to carve up the Fisto head quite a bit, and glue on and reshape (using boiling water) the head tails, but I'm satisfied with the result! I also made a female Nautolan Fig to accompany him that I will be posting later. I am super happy with this one, and I hope you all enjoy him to!"
Well I certainly enjoyed his update. You can see the full recipe for his latest custom at the aforementioned link.

The Irish Rogue is back with a new chapter of COGS of the Empire...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, August 12 2016
"Inside, the halls were dim, lit only by an orange glimmer that prevailed through narrow observation slits. Beeps rang out of a room nearby. An armor clad trooper walked close behind his hurried general. He stopped short of the doorway; close enough to allow his ears to hear hints of what may be said. After a series of beeps, a higher pitched answer tone sounded. Vallen answered the incoming message using the administration room’s main holotable. A voice spoke, but was not one familiar to the commanding Stormtrooper. From reading Vallen’s body language, he didn’t recognize the figure either. The uniform worn had a smaller chest plate than was standard for military use; not to mention his helmet was tremendously customized. The triangle adorning his collar meant Intelligence."
Folks that is just the first paragraph to wet your appetite. Great stuff!

I commissioned Ron awhile back to create a real Ever After High Dragon for my daughter's favorite character Raven. Take a look at this and tell me it wasn't well received. So cool Ron. Its no wonder I consider him one of the best customizers in the world. Thanks Ron!

"A stava from the Noghri homeworld of Honoghr:
The Stava - a predator with great endurance hailing from Honoghr (home of the Noghri from the Thrawn series). The stava is mentioned in the Essential Guide to Planets and Moons. This is the only source for a reference image, which is a black and white line drawing. The image makes the stava look essentially like a dog. I took some liberties with the image in creating this creature as a result. I chose the color based on the premise that as a predator it would have camouflage for the tall grasses of pre-contaminated Honoghr. I also thought the dog look was a bit uninspired, so building on the more reptilian nature of the Noghri, I made the stava more of a repto-mammal, while trying to keep the same basic idea as the drawing.
This particular stava is named Nhukhu and is part of a stava pack that was domesticated by the Noghri and consequently survived the catastrophe on Honoghr."
Pretty cool. I never even knew this one existed till today!

Darth Daddy hooks up a Darth Sidious...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 7 2016
"This is a custom Clone Wars action figure that was inspired by TheRealMarch4th. A few months ago I sent him a Clone Wars headcast of Palpatine that I produced and we were really floored by how he decided to use it. He took the Darth Sidious from the Yoda 2-pack, replaced the face of the figure with my headcast and then sculpted the hood down over the eyes. He then took a soft goods skirt to cover those ugly Hasbro legs to finish the figure. What an awesome idea!
On my custom figure I took what TheRealMarch4th did one step further. I borrowed elements from his recipe, and just added more articulation to the figure."
It looks fantastic to me. Darth Daddy and Elias are keeping The Clone Wars alive and well.

I was emailed the podcast afterwards and put it on my youtube page for anyone interested in viewing. It is an hour long but we thought it was a great discussion."

Guns Empty gets back to his Chessboard Project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, August 5 2016
"Chess board update:
Only need a base board, side trim, then finish painting the Rebel figures!
I was too ambitious with the maple and walnut I first picked, as I didn't have any real way of preparing the boards for working into a board. And, since I didn't want anyone else's hand in the creation of the board, I though of using hardwoods. This way I could work within the parameters of the woodworking tools I have, in this case a simple table saw. I picked out a cool rustic used-looking mesquite and hickory. They seemed like light wood, which is good because I think this board is going to be moderately heavy!"
Folks I think this is fantastic. I would love to own something like this!

"I have spent this afternoon building the walkway, using a layer of polystyrene on top of a layer of foamcore. Using a rotary tool to carve out the struts and drill a hole to fit the second LED for Obi Wan. As you can see I have loosely placed the third LED for Yoda, just so I could see what the three of them would like light up."
I like the holo light up a lot!

Featuring Mr. Jedi 1977 one more time...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 3 2016
His latest update was just full of a ton of wonderful OT Characters that have never seen regular action figure form let alone the vintage carded treatment he has given them.
It makes me pine away for the days we have it good with the vintage line up (referring her to the good ole Kenner days when I was a kid and then again when Hasbro brought it back again a few years ago). I keep hearing rumblings the vintage line is referring to stay retired and it is thanks to great customizers and graphic artists like Mr. Jedi 1977 and Foxtrot Delta who keep showing fans and Hasbro just how wonderful it can be! Keep up the good fight folks. We will get this line back!

Mandalore 25 finishes his latest duo...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 3 2016
"On my way to 200, with the completion of my 197th, and 198th figures, the Sith brothers Gorc, and Pic. Gorc is one of the TMNT with the shell taken off, and sculpt back up to look bare bodied, with some head sculpting too. From there I covered him in armor plates cut from a sheet of rubber, for flexibility so there is no joint hindrance. Over it I sculpt the diaper? Not sure what else to call it, and finished him with a detailed paint job. Pic is a Hobbit movie Gollum figure with, MU Wasp arms, and yoda hands. The head was shaven down, and sculpt back up with the neck. Only the shoulder armor is rubber on Pic, the rest is sculpt including the wraps around his feet. I'm pleased with the way they tuned out, a little cartoony, but I suppose they always kind of look that way. Only one more figure to go before my 200th figure!
If anyone is interested, they're listed here."
They look great to me.

He shared just a ton of great OT Customs with vintage style cardbacks yesterday. Needless to say one update just wasn't enough to show you all the wonderful custom work for his latest batch.
I just can't get over how much I want the vintage line to come back with fully articulated figures. Customizers like Mr. Jedi 1977 sure do show how fantastic action figures can be!

Mandalore 25 shows us a new project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 2 2016
"Here's a WIP of my 196th and 197th figures, a combo pack, the "twin" brothers of the sith, Gorc, and Pic. From the same video game as the Dark Jedi Maw I made a while back, Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Gorc was once a Gamorrean on the run from the empire, and Pic was a Force adept Kowakian monkey-lizard. Both were captured by the Empire, where Palpatine had them turned into sithspawn. I'll tell more on how they were made when I'm done, personally I think the pictures tell more anyway."
It looks like he is off to a great start!

JDeck gives us an TFA Custom Update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, August 2 2016
"After the Battle of Endor the war torn Galaxy was in chaos. With the dwindling Imperial remnants, and the Republic in its infancy, the galaxy was in virtual anarchy. This void in power created a breeding ground for pirates like Captain Sidon Ithano. Ithano had no loyalties, he negotiated contracts with both the Republic and the Imperial remnants, as well as local municipalities, mercenaries and gangsters. Along with his first mate Quiggold, was a motly crew of dreaded pirates searching fortune and glory throughout the galaxy.
Pretty simple figure. 5poa Ithano+ 3.75" exclusive Kylo Ren. I despise painting figures, but I had no choice. I made the gauntlets out of Milliput, and trimmed his skirt. I want to give Quiggold the same treatment, but first off, I really like the sculpting they did on him. I could swap arms with Zuckuss and give him rancor keepers lower body, but that might mess up his overall height."
Looks like hes off to a good start.

"Corporal Zaym TK1979 looked over the upper hangar he never saw any kind of obstruction that the captain was hinting at. He was unsure of what Captain Kai was referring to or why he gave him a communicator rather then just let him speak to him from his helmets internal communications band. Either way nothing seemed wrong. Zaym was relieved to know they'd be getting off the Kumo before any other bulk heads gave way or the girders collapsed trapping them inside."
And that is just a small taste of the enjoyment you are in for. I am enjoying the Last Orders of Captain Kai!
Mr. Jedi 1977 shows us such cool Vintage Carded Customs...

"Hey everyone Back for some upgrades and more carded figures! Thanks again to Foxtrot delta for his help in aiding me another step closer for the most complete carded collection for the Otc ! I wanted to try my hand at the swoop bike pilot from the special edition and tried to imagine what a realistic version of the pilot would look like since we never saw his /her face . I also used the swoop bike that came with Durge from the clone wars pack , i just modified it a bit did some cutting and repainted it . And finally got around and found blisters for Cane Adiss and the Bantha droid i did sometime ago as well as the han solo carbonite. I did something different not only did i paint the carbonite block i also took the back off to fit Han solo in the block as well. As for the others updates i hope you enjoy ... I have something big planned for my next update stay tuned enjoy!"
Call me curious for that last part too. I just can't get over of how cool it would be if this line were on the pegs right now. People would buy it out quick like!
