Angle those eyes a bit to one side or the other. He appears to be surprised.
When will we ever see a good Luke head like this?

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, you are right. I didnt mess with the PERS or anything yet, was just messing with the outfit.

Its a great sculpt. I would like to pick a couple more up.

I havent had much time the past couple of weeks to work on anything. I had a couple hours today and decided to finish up my Death Star Trooper. There were a few things I needed to finish on him. I re-did the holster, did some work on the headsculpt and hollowed out a bit more of the Hasbro helmet.

Here is a shot of the modded holster. Its a combination of the SSC Praji and SSC Rebel Fleet trooper holsters. The holster has been repainted.

I had to dremmel down quite a bit of the headsculpt to get the helmet to sit/look better.

Here he is on my shelf with some other Imperial Officers...

I am really looking forward to adding the new Darth Vader to the lineup next week.

Looks like it's a 1:1 scale....beautiful work!

A very impressive group of imperials you have there.

I don't think Admiral Ozzel shares your sentiment. :

Thanks Outlander!!

Here are some better pics of him....

Awesome Imperials Chaka!
One day I hope to have a regiment as sweet as & the size of yours.

Nice collection of officers! What gloves are you using again? Praji?

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Duane, it sounds like you are stockpiling stuff though.

Thanks! Yes, they are Praji gloves.

Its time to get my X-Wing pilots done. I have started working on the flak vests. Leather patterns with speaker wire is what I use.

Here is a rough vest before I paint it up. I need to trim it up a bit, and make a few alterations, but its almost good to go.

Here is what it will look like when it is all said and done, my custom Biggs Darklighter...

I'm sure there are no issues with them not contouring with the figures torso.

No. The nice thing about the wire is that it allows you to bend it to fit around the torso.

 

[Chakaman]

Some more work done on the vests. I can hopefully paint them this week. I also am going to figure out a better method for the shoulder straps.

I want to have 4-5 X-Wing pilots from ANH, a Sullustian pilot and A-Wing pilot from ROTJ when all is said and done.

wow the production line begins. very impressive sir!

 

[MANDO]

The X-Wing vests look great, Chris, and it always kills me how organized you are! Dig the the Imp. display too! The generic/unlicensed heads you use for your Officers gives them a lot of character. AT-AT Patton is definitely my fav though!

 

[barryo]

Hey, you are getting pretty good at this stuff...............

Love the Admiral Ozzel in the back! very cool customs my man!

Where did you get all the officer suits?

Next to that do you also happen to own a spare white jacket for a custom Club Obi wan indy?

Edit: I've been going to your thread. Very inspiring customs. I have a son who is 2 years old now. I hope he'll grow up loving Star Wars as much as I do. Would be great to work on customs together with my son.

Thanks,

Best,

Robert

Thanks man. Yes, I find it easier to do it this way when doing duplicate pieces for customs.

Thanks man!! I plan on putting those Indy gloves you sent me to good use too. I appreciate it.

The Patton sculpt just screamed WW2 Tank Commander/AT-AT Commander, one of my favorites...

Lots of practice my friend!!

Thanks Robert. Yes, my son Nick loves Star Wars. He loves hanging out with me as I work on my customs. He paints on his Star Wars Galactic heroes as I do my thing, great way to spend time together. Im sure you and your son will do the same.

Spare white Club Obi-Wan jacket? What do you mean? Suit Jacket? Let me know.

As far as the Officer outfits go, I picked them up years ago before they got crazy expensive. I got a few from Toy Anxiety and others in trades. I kinda hoarded the stuff back in the day, glad I did they are hard to find these days.

Ozzel is great, perfect headsculpt...

Cheers guys!!
