Fantastic upgrade on those handlebars! Did you shorten the body? I always love seeing working shots, it really shows how much work goes into something like this. Thanks for posting.

Thanks artoo, yeah i shortened the under half about 2 cm. I used the ilm model to get a close enough look. The front frame needed to come back a little.

Speeder bike looks fantastic. Nice work.

I really like your Jabba goon, Nysad. Good stuff.

Thanks chakaman mate, really appreciate praise from you on jabba's guys.

I still have plenty of stuff that I'm yet to post on here, but I'd thought I'd start today with a mercenary character I posted a while back. I found some pics on this guy that no one has seen yet, it reveals a bit more detail I made on this guy.









This one is still a work in progress. I've modified the vader/anakin head into a twi'lek. My intentions are to make this guy into a crime boss on some outer rim world. Outer rim worlds are the best, for me that's what star wars is all about, so open to your imagination.
I started this with wire drilled into the head, I only started taking snaps from here. The rest is two different grades of sculpting resin. I'm still yet to finish this with some paint work.










Last one is my speeder bike design and rider. Unfortunately, like before, I only started taking pics when I was well into it. This one has a pvc pipe construction soldered together and now I'm in the process of adding detail. Recycled models from way back cut down and filed back to fit, an assortment of fresh kit parts and some old speaker cases (the air intakes) are what I've used so far and a couple layers of undercoat to see how it's coming together. The rider was finished about a month ago, I used the cad bane head and the body of the force awakens tie pilot. So I removed all the armor, kept the boots, painted the suit and then designed the rest of the outfit using a sewing machine mostly and also incorporated some greeblies. I'll post some pics of this guy soon showing more of his detail. Still a fair amount of work to go the speeder, I'll try to remember to take more pics and make regular posts on my progress.









Thanks for viewing, hope you all enjoy.

Wow mate they are some awesome customs really like the speeders and mercs.

 

[Artoo]

^Agree. Once again, always love seeing the wip shots. So much goodness going on here.
Great idea to work with characters on the Outter Rim, you can really let your imagination run wild.

That speeder is pretty cool!

Hi folks, here is another project in the works.
It's a rodian design I have down on paper, so far the only work I've done on this is the head sculpt and a pair of gloved hands. The head was made with a generic neck joint from a blank body, I then worked some wire into it to get a basic head shape. On top of that I used a soldering iron to sculpt some plastic into a more detailed head shape of a rodian. I used the plastic waste from model kits. Once I was happy with that I used sculpting resin and some greeblies to finish the detail.
The hands were similar, generic hands, drilled wire into the finger tips, sculpted plastic first then finished with resin. With the addition of the top half of the glove, I used a synthetic material so I could melt it onto the hand using a soldering iron.











This is the head finished with paint work.

[Cagoda]

You have a real talent for creative characters that look lived-in with the Star Wars universe. Great job, thanks!

Love the Rodian looks so cool. Can't wait to see him finished

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Love all the new creations!

Howdy folks, its been some time since my last post so I'm happy to have finally finished something again.
Life just keeps getting in the way
I've been wanting to make some rebel solider types, and I really like all the customs I've been seeing
here. So I've chosen the tan camo rebel from 'Battle Fronts'.
The head is Russell Crowe, from Superman I think.
Gloves are Captian America, boots are from somewhere and the rifle is from the jump trooper stormtrooper.
The rest was all fabricated with a sewing machine and some kit bashed handy work.
Hope you all enjoy.

























Thanks for viewing, hopefully I'll be back soon with some more rebel scum.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

I really like it and the "in progress" shots.

 

[Chakaman]

That Rebel looks fantastic. Nice work.

 

[hemble]

Awesome work.

Ron

 

[generalgrevious]

[noimdac]

Hi everyone, I have here another rebel type just finished up.
Once an imperial technician, now a rebel saboteur.
This is inspired by the imperial defector, Bodhi Rook from Rogue One.
