a few star wars customs by bobamike

[Xander]

That Grievous is freakin sweet! I'd love to here how that one came together. I've heard that the Hasbro one was flimsy and couldn't really hold his weight.

hey ryan,its nice to see some of my castings are starting to surface out there,as far as the airborne trooper and republic commando goes.I am still in the early stages of enlarging those guys.. I did learn a few lessons that I will do the next go round.the hardest thing is making a mold to step up to the next size.but I think I found a way around that by painting the hydro span to lock in the moisture while I make the mold.I have been putting off trying again.my first attempt didnt go to well as the first attempt was very frustrating .I have been working on the cody and bly clones and few other projects that have been on the back burner for way to long now.but I will get back to those guys soon.

I'd like to hear what went into your Vader. Very nice job.

well the body is the marvel dr.doom,and his garments are from the ultimate villian vader,the burnt anakin under the mask is too. and the helmet and mask is a recast off the koyokukia ep3 vader and the gloves came from hasbro's at-st driver and the chest box is a recast from g.g. vader statue.I still have alittle tweaking to do to him.I need to upgrade his boots and shin armor,which I plan to recast from my g.g. statue and a better cod piece.

Wow, your Cody is absolutely amazing! Mind sharing what went into him?

 

[Captain Faramir]

HOLY FLIP DUDE! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SAESEE TIIN HEAD?!?!?

 

[bobamike]

I got the head from a fellow that goes by the name of croguns on the rebelscum forums and on onesixthwarriors forums.he got it from a fellow on there that goes by the name darthcallous.

dude your skills are mad awesome!!!!

Wow, your Cody is absolutely amazing! Mind sharing what went into him?

well,I started off with a better body,and added my recasted koyobukia armor.then I made up my own shoulder armor and made a cody head by turning a koyobukia magnet into a complete head and then painted all the armor to match cody.I am in the process of making a mold to do his jet pack to complete him and my cody bust.

Like the custom boba fett rotj blaster, marmit and hasbro combo i guess and the seasee tiin head is wicked

Just wondering. Is that the medicom body with a sideshow head for your armored obi-wan? if it is, why not simply put the armor on the obi-wan's sideshow body?

why thank you very much! I am always in a daze when I walk in my room.I find it hard to turn the light off at night and go to sleep,I am always tripping out on all my stuff and constantly planning my next upgrades,and customs.I wish I had the time to do all things I have planned.but this stuff takes alot of time to do.

 

[Mooncat]

Absolutely awesome

Im speechless (nearly)

those are incredible your a superb artist

 

[Grange Wallis]

Mike you've done more than a "few" customs there. You amassed an league there! Great, great work!

 

[Agent47]

I love the grevious, man. Thought it couldn't be done. How did you put together the skeletal system? I'd think that would be the most difficult part. Nice nice nice work.

 

[lerath666]

I'm only askin becuase I'm considering doing this myself.

well he is not done yet.but the neck and the body are unmodified sideshow pieces.I plan to shave his nec down some.I have alot left to do to him really.I shouldnt show my unfinished pieces,but I get so excited and want to show my new works off.and thats about as close as I will get to step by step process of showing my work as its being built.the same applies to my 1/6th scale fett.he still has alot of work left.I have a commander neyo and bacarra next on my to do list.I cant wait!but for now I am trying to finish up a few of these guys.
