I thought it looked like a different body. I'd be for swapping him to a TT also. I hate the Cee Lo Green arms of the Pro.

Thanks for the feedback everyone :hi5:

Cee Lo Green arms... :lol that is one way to describe it. Not really sure why the pro has such short forearms :huh

On an interesting note they are a good length when you are only talking about the inner robes, but once you add the outer ones the arms just disappear :huh

Re: Galactiboy's Customs and Kitbashes of Terror!!! Indy, Anakin & Maul!!!

Here are some recent customs I've completed:

First up Anakin; mostly the original Sideshow figure. But I put him on a TT, upgraded his gauntlet to the Clone Wars version, shaved a bit of his chin and gave him a repaint:

On display:

​

And Darth Maul, put him on a Prometheus 1.0 and repainted the head.

Anakin and Maul on Display:

And last but not least, Indiana Jones. This is a mash-up of the HT clothing and accessories, Sideshow head and the HT Saito body. I repainted the head earlier today.

And on display:

Gave the Sideshow ROTS Kenobi sculpt a repaint yesterday... quite happy with the result; another one of those sculpts that really shines with a bit of work :rock

I was happy with the intensity I was able to get with his head tilted forward:

I hope to have him on a new body, dressed and futzed sometime later today :duff

Good stuff and keep em coming.

Thanks Ski... I've really been trying to zero in on getting a good shape and consistency with eyes. I did pick up a pair of those hobby goggles which has really helped not to mention using finer tipped paint brushes :rock

Re: Galactiboy's Customs and Kitbashes of Terror!!! ROTS Kenobi WIP!!!

Like I said on facebook, another brilliant repaint... Makes me anxious to see the one Ski is painting up. ray:

Thanks for that Marc :duff

So how many heads do you have getting repainted; I have a feeling your collection will soon be turned up to an 11 :rock :rock :rock

 

[pixletwin]

Re: Galactiboy's Customs and Kitbashes of Terror!!! ROTS Kenobi WIP!!!

lol. Besides Obiwan I have Brian Wilson, Aragorn, and Gimli. :lol

Your collection (which I thought always looked great) is definitely increasing in awesomeness - plus the satisfaction of having done it yourself too! :rock

 

[galactiboy]

Re: Galactiboy's Customs and Kitbashes of Terror!!! ROTS Kenobi WIP!!!

Nice, which Gimli? Is it the customized version with the longer beard, straight Toybiz or another?

Yeah, it's funny at one point I was totally against any alterations to my figures. I remember kind of agonizing over if I should pull off and move a misplaced leaf of Loien on my Legolas figure as the first time I did any "customization" to a figure :lol

Now I'm repainting a bunch and grinding the chins off of others :huh

At the risk of repeating myself, pretty cool work especially on the eyes GB. :clap

I like the skin tones you've got on this one. Are you planning on using the translucent paint technique with an airbrush ?

 

[galactiboy]

Re: Galactiboy's Customs and Kitbashes of Terror!!! ROTS Kenobi WIP!!!

Not at the moment... I think getting into all of that would be a bit cost prohibitive as I'm just doing these for myself. But if I keep going my interest my peak enough to try something more ambitious like that.

But I'm sure there will be a big learning curve as I've only tried using an airbrush once, and that was in the mid-90's in a high school art class :lol
