Customs

Anyone on here ever made a custom figure?

I have a beat up Luke Stormy and was planning on using him to make my own Han Stormy


so if anyone has any advice OR a Han Pinhead (beat up) they dont mind donating or even just his head then let me know

here is a custom figure i made of me. if you use the boil n pop method to remove limbs and add extra bits using sculpy you cant go wrong. Paint them using acrylic pant and give them a coat of soft sheen (not glossy) varnish when you have finished.

nicely done mate, i can see where you got the body from but the head?

i love customs and have about 15/16 custom figures, han storm, rebel trooper etc, will post a pic when i get round to it

i am definitely going to make a han Stormy then.

i will look for a crappy pinhead han

I wish I had the modelling skills to make customs.


Would love an army of rebel fleet troopers.

I am not sure who the head is off. It was from an action man or mask figure.[/list]

Looks abit like Baron Ironblood


When you guys ask about customs, you only mean vintage??
I've done a few on card, but mostly using modern figs.

Also a few 12" figs

That's a great figure but I'd be worried about somone using it as a voodoo doll. :lol:

perhaps explain to newbies like us how to make customs? Boil and Pop method???

Boil the figure in boiling water and then pull the limbs out of the body hence the "pop"

try http://www.ffurg.com

I planned a series of 12 EU Imperials on vintage style cards. Think I got around to making 4 of them. Mostly modern figures, but did attempt to turn a vintage imperial Officer into Ysanne Isard (yep, including boobs)

I did however also do a vintage R5 X2 from TPM

That looks very cool 8)

hERE IS A COUPLE OF CUSTOMS DROIDS CARDED FIGURES I HAVE MADE. i SOLD THE YODA BUT STILL HAVE THE JAWA.

Sorry about the caps lock.

cool 8)

that yoda rocks.

They all look very smart, i might find a few beat up figures and give the customising a go

I agree about the head, but are you going to make it out of a luke stormtrooper ?

Yeah I have a really crappy Luke Stormy that is going to be butchered in order to make it and then repainted as its yellow

someone even varnished his head so that it wouldnt lose any more paint!
