great stuff, you guys have some amazing skills. hey, if there is anybody in seattle who does customizing, i have lots of 1/6th weapons (mostly 21st century stuff) if you would wanna sift thru it and see if there is anything usable. i also have the loose figs, again mostly 21st century but some dragon and others. maybe we could trade for back-drops, backgrounds or dios? anyway if you are in the area and would wanna take a look at them just let me know. i live in downtown seattle in belltown.

Awesome works guys!
Just got my mits on a hasbro Speeder set and i wanted to make an upgrade. I know some gifted customizers did some custom accessories (pouch, gun, armor, shoulder bells etc...) but 'im kinda lost about who did what and if those are still available from them.
Thanks for your help.

Dorgmal snow made a set of armour so give him a PM.

vivisect done an amazing cumberbund but he's MIA

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

yeah Vivisect made the cummerbund and pouches which was amazing!!! Folks also either used a body suit or v tight black top and then a pair of black combat trousers. The boots were german army marching boots spayed white/
Some folks also replaced the hasbro bucket with a Tomy helm as the visor lifts up...
The chest armour just need cutting down at the back and then all the rest of the armour just needs the elastic tightening. The shoulder bells also can be replaced with stormie shoulder bells with the ridge sanded off. Oww and ofcourse a body swap....


I can sort you out with casts of body armour and I have made and cast up shoulder bells....

Scouts are great and well worth the effort.

oww and some gloves tooooo

[Dorgmal Snow]

Sorry i wasnt notified i got replies ^^
Thanks for the details on the custom, i also saved your tutorial ^^
Well let me know if your offer's still on for a full set (armor, bells, gloves). Il already ordered some gloves and have Soldier Story SAD NIGHT pants but still havent found boots nor the tomy helmet (dont really care for it opening but it seems less bobbly than the original).
Does the original hasbro black suit can be used for the top?

Gonna contact Vivisect the cummerbund and pouches hope he still do them^^

Wanted to do some light weathering on the bike itself, what advices and methods do you think could be good for adding some silver dents or make the black motor part a bit more metal feel (dry brush maybe?)?

Thanks for your help again.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Yep no probs I can sort you out a armour set but I dont think you will hear from Vivisect he is MIA at the mo.

There are a couple of threads on speederbike repaints, some guys have done some AMAZING jobs on them.

If you get stuff let me know and I will see if I can help you out mate.

Is anyone gonna buy the scouts when SS get around to announcing them? Im in a dilema ive spent a small fortune on bits & bobs for the custom Scout im currently making but dunno if to put it all on hold or stop completely & wait to see how good SS are i only tend to customize figs that i know are long disscontinued or will never be released only thing is i doubt they will make it with an over head helmet grrrrrr if that is the case the helmet wont even have flip up face plate

Hey Mark you still selling those scout armour casts? I'm too lazy to sculpt or cast myself lol

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Ow I really hope SS do make scouts. I think there are so many great custom scouts on the boards though. I think SS have stepped up their game lately and if they did a scout I am sure it would be brilliant...

As for custom scout armour, no worries Nevermore, just pm me and let me know what you need and I will do my best to help out.

 

[nevermore]

Mark your a star i've just sent you a PM just a little hello from me Yeah im sure the SS scouts will be very good just a shame they have taken so long to get around to making one of the most iconic characters in ROTJ i wish they would stop putting all there efforts in figures that are mostly on screen for 2 seconds lol

Well ive admired all the custom scout troopers on the site & gotta say just amazing i didnt notice anyone using actual black clips & white harness for the belt section? So i thought i'd show you all what im attempting to do lol very adventurous i know but worth a try here a list of what im gonna attempt & what im using

Boots - Hot Toys - Inglourious Basterds : Col Hans Landa
Black clips - Art Figures - Saves (The Punisher) black pouches
White harness - Dragon WWII "Bob Richardson" - British Military Police
Bendy hands- Soldier story with Hot Toys joint
Leather im using for gloves- Hot Toys - Inglourious Basterds : Col Hans Landa.

The harness parts are basically done they just need cut to length & attached to belt & thigh boxes. The larger clip & harness is to secure the belt on the rear of the figure.

As you can see i have experimented with white vinyl on the boots instead of the usual painting white it works very well the vinyl is quite stretchy so moulds perfect to the black boot underneath & hides the stitching which is on the side of the standard DID WWII boots i just glued this on with leather adhesive. The hot toys boots are a little too tall so they will have to be cut down before applying the vinyl

Next thing im really nervous about is making actual gloves out of the leather coat ive cut up to go on the bendy hands will it work? who knows but gotta try i have some thin black suede material to go on 2 fingers & the thumb as per the movie version im trying to work out how im gonna get the 4 ribs that are on the knuckle part of the glove they have to be movie accurate i hate being a perfectionist lol

Will keep you all updated on the progress but if anyone has every attempted something similar please share your experience

 

[Crimsonbob]

Oh yeah that'll look great but those gloves are gonna be an ass to do i reckon.

 

[nevermore]

LOL i know bob but with seeing how the little DID WWII U.S `Major Richard` Airborne 506th Para reg - Gloves that is in that picture are put together i thought i'd have a go ive made a template from those gloves was a Bugger to turn them inside out lol cocktail stick in the fingers to drag them out but im thinking positive not much to lose the new hot toys leather coat was only £10 the black suede was £2.50 for 2 metres its all the parts that needs sewing that could become a problem with them being so ickle

 

[Crimsonbob]

Ive got some soldier story WWII figs and i cant even get their leather gloves on the hands its next to impossible
