Cool mods to Ephant Mon. He has got to be heavy!
And VERY nice Mimbanese Warrior... perfect timing for when the Mudtrooper comes out

Steven, that Mimban looks fantastic!!
Thanks so much. I will be glad when I can take better photos.
I wanted to make the Ephant Mon parts a bit stronger although it was probably ok as it was. I have a tendency to make things stronger to play it safe. I also like using embedded magnets in the feet/base/bottom, since I hate using stands so much.
To help a friend and perhaps others, here are pictures of one of my early Star Wars 1/6 custom figures... Ree Yees inspired with parts from Master Enaud. Please keep in mind it was the best my wife and I could do at the time.

Very cool... Thanks for sharing that, Steven! The tailoring on the collar and shoulders (back too) is what I?ve trying to work out. I have no skills on a sewing machine but these are some patterns to strive for.

Love what you are doing with your Ephant - I'm still soldiering on with my Amanaman build, which is a nightmare of magnets and embedded joints (on a figure where there's nowhere to hide them).
Sorry to butt in in your thread DP, but if DR can't sew, you can always just do a cut/glue like I did on my Ree Yees coat. I just cut up two of those WWII floatation/pilot vests (fairly available on ebay or military 1/6 sites) and glued them together with fabric glue or super glue, then painted liberally. I'm terrible and slow at sewing, so gluing together garments sometimes works.
This pic shows some of the seams that I just glued:

That all looks great! Of course, thanks for the courtesy but …Please share... I want anybody to feel free to comment and post pictures here. My wife and I often Use either Fabric-Tac (grabs fast but glossy) or liquid stitch (slower to grab but flat/matt).
