2 new custom done lately a Ep1 Obi Wan with Sunohc wicked scuplt and Bossk
Assembled Obi-wan onto the smaller buck body from Buffy Oz figure, still looking for the lightsaber keyring but for now im using ep3 one.
Most of the parts are from Ep3 Obi-wan, the trousers/pants are from hasbro Lando, the inner tunic from Plo Koon.
Repainted the little capusles on the belt bronze, noitced that when i was looking fro my Dressing a galaxy book.
Bossk im still not happy with because the jumpsuit. Its some cheap material the won't take dye, except for that you can turn the hasbro figure into something decent enough.
Last of the bounty hunter custom from me, ive tried to make Dengar and Zuckees look good but really is something you'd have to build from scratch instead of using the hasbro stock.

Love the Bossk... he looks real nice, especially with the crew. And Obi is very cool looking!

Yo Mooncat, i started the Bossk about a year ago when i started customizing and from what i rememeber doing then was cutting up the hasbro bossk, repainting the head, arms and legs. Assembled it onto a dragon body and cut up the white vest, cause that thing was massive. It not that difficult but it took me ages to finish it because ive never been a great fan of the character.
Got my endor troopers from sideshow over a year ago now was was never really satisfired with the way they came out and so they were reduced to the bottom shelf.
The big problem for me was the sideshow buck, it was'nt good enough to pull off the poses these commandos should be able to do and a little of outfit was incorrect. Wanting to make them look better and keep them looking like the rest of my collection, so i decided not to much weathering.
Started off replacing the body with a DML one but then realised the the pants/trouser were extreme old man pants. These things were pactically up to his pecks whoch i think is because of the way the buck is. So i took on the task of tailoring them to the proper length and while i was at i thought it would be a good thing to tighten up the gaiter as they were suoper loose.
Then discovered that i could put the sideshow gloves onto BBI ball-joint if heated up enough and then i found the perfect body to assemble this guy onto.
I replaced the belt and pouches with ones which were cloth instead of plastic which took some research finding out what was used in the movie.
Repainted the head and took the helmet apart and reassembled and repainted it onto the BBi scuplt.
Copied the body mods from the spec-figures 3 mook which were really cool and never done before and had to take about a 1/3 inch off at the because otherwise he would have monkey arms with the sideshow gloves.
This is my first generic infantrymen, got 4 more to go for my 5 man squad.
Got another all-most done but not there yet. Never written so much in a post.

Thanks guys, almost got 2 more endor commandos done and im hoping to take my complete 5 man squad to a perfect location i found to snap some more pics.
Got this guy done last week, not 100% accurate but i was'nt going to go mad on a character that creeps me out, Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle.
Managed to get some cool pistols for this guy with all sorts of moving parts and tiny bullets which im bound to lose.

Another De Niro figure today.
Heat has been one of my favorite films for years and when i saw the wicked Andy Bergholtz at Red Planet i had to bash this guy and update my Toy Solider Who's Neil.
All the clothing is from the Who's Neil figure assembled onto a Neo3 with BBi German pilot gloves. Don't know where i got the sunglasses from but i had to cut them ip to make them screen accurate and glue them back togetherso that they fitted onto the head, that really required patience.
Im hoping to one day add Al Pacino to make a wicked duo, be sweet if i could get and afford the one from Kojin.
"Do not have any attachments, do not have anything in your life you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner."
"I am double the worst trouble you ever thought of."
"I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me."

Got another endor trooper done and now just working on Nik Sant and Commander Praji at the same time but in the men time...
Continuing my upgrade of all my star wars sideshow figures ive started to upgrade my bespin luke, going to try and make as good as i can.
Once i repainted the skin tones and hair you can really see what a amazing likeness there is in this scuplt
Replaced the sideshow body with the dragon neo3 and is the perfect height got Luke, Dyed the outfit, repainted the boots weathered the belt which i think was my favorite thing i did espeacially the buckle.
Still got to perfect the eyes and repaint the BBi hands and take a decent photo.

Recently bought all 5 Planet of the Apes figures at a darn good price and as soon as i opened them i wanted to have ago at updating them.
Started with my favorite, the ape solider. Really great figure one of the best sideshow has ever made i reckon he's up there with old ben. Repainted the sculpt to make him look angry and intimitating and weathered up the outfit.
On a human hunt...
Next chance i getting to paint going to do Zira and Cornelius, i think Dr Zaius will be the difficult one to upgrade.
