Guyver. Where did you get the laser blast on Luke's blaster? Very nice touch.

Freaky..................

I didn't want this post to get lost...

Wor that looks amazing. I didn't know you had a Dr. Evil custom. LOL

a couple pics posted before but threw in my bespin background for fun...

Sick. I need yoda and his hut now.

Sent from the Monolith.

looks like a beam saber bit from a gundam model to me.

Looks weird like that though, right? The bald BD one is even stranger.

Guyver: I love that laser blast!

Marf: My BD Luke has been shamed by your Rory-mized one. VERY nice!

 

[MarfMaster]

Looks great Marf. Next time grow some balls and do it yourself.

JK Seriously looking good.

He did a bang up job, I was too chicksheet to send it over before Thanksgiving. Great work unnamed artist.

I was hesitant as well, especially because I sent it the day I got the figure! Definitely glad I did, though.

Thanks Wor, so stoked on it!

Yeah that is correct, I got it from a beam saber attachment from one of my many 1/100 scale MG Gundam model kits.

I saw the hole in front of the blaster and I figured I wonder if I can stick something on it to simulate a laser blast, after experimenting with different attachments I found that the beam saber looked the best, because of the clear colored plastic.

I was pleasantly surprised that the end peg of the saber fit easily on the blaster hole with little to no effort at all.

Which is ironic, because in ESB, even though Luke had that particular blaster, not once did he ever fire it. So I figured oh well, I'll try it anyways. I liked the result.

Thank you so much!! Now if someone could make a nice backdrop for the weather vane I would be eternally grateful

Here's the Bespin weathervane background, hope this works. I tried to clean it up as much as I could. Enjoy!

Very weird, especially with the eyes rolling up like that.

Also, I mentioned the separated weathervane and I thought I should show you guys where the thing separates in case you have your Luke hanging from the ceiling on HT glue...

It came in the box like this. Another member had this issue. It does not snap together, it's glued. Clearly the same glue used for the hairpiece magnets... and you know how those go.

Thanks for sharing the info! Will definitely come in handy.

Nice THANKS!!!
Another way to push me to finish my Star Wars display area
Sometimes I think I am a lazy bump and need some deadlines and peer pressure to get me going

 

[astro666]

Thanks for that Bespin weathervane background Chew74, it looks great.

Selling a 1:6 exclusive ROTJ Luke if anyone is interested.

Serious question and not trying to be funny, but the DX Luke seems to have long arms. On mine, his hands seem to go just below his crotch.......wheras most people barely hit the crotch area

Seriously wondering for a while now? Either I have little man arms or Luke is off? LOL.....

I was even wondering if you should really have your own dedicated thread for these backdrop images. TBH it's easy and cost effective to get it printed and even framed and should be of interest to any of fellow collectors and having your work in a dedicated thread is deserving as much as any other custom if not even more so because of the above reason I hope you will venture into other movies eventually (for selfish reasons :LOL eg TDK, IM, Avengers, Tron)

 

[Chew74]

I will do background thread.
Doing other movies, hmmmm sounds good, I will look in to it.

Are you pushing the shoulders up all the way? If not he does have a bit of monkey arm.

Not too surprised, SS is pimping getting on the waitlist.
