Some more work done on Blue Leader. I received the HT Jim Gordon sculpt. Painted the moustache, dremmeled it down so it fit in helmet. Repainted the TFA Han Solo gloves, added greeblies. I still need to reattach the Mic and do some more weathering. I also need to touch up some paint work on the helmet.

He is getting there.

Master customizer level stuff. Love it.

Always fun to see the wip. I always forget to take wip pics (or I'm stressed something isn't going to work out.)

Cheers Duncan. I forget sometimes myself. I usually do it it just so I can see close-ups of what I'm working on.





I know they never met, but still cool....

I guess that`s why there was an opening for red five after RO lol

Man that looks awesome! Really great head choice.
Man, we need more pilots in 6 scale...not to mention 1/10.

If you know someone with a vinyl plotter, you could rig up a stand decal pretty easily.

I did this for my Bespin Han just for fun. If I still worked at my old job I'd do you up some, but I'm at a different place now...but would be happy to vectorize some emblems for you if you want 'em.

Yeah, the potential disaster in progress pics.

Luke's helmet is completely repainted or partially?

 

[Solo_bones]

Damn, looks good. How do you like your SS Red 5, Chris??

I can't decide if I prefer that or Snowspeeder Luke more. I really want a cast of Luke Red 5 sculpt.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not much into figure stand decals. I appreciate the kind words about my custom.

Great custom, Chaka!

Thanks man.

Fantastic!

Thanks Steven.

Luke's helmet is completely repainted or partially?

I did a complete repaint on it. I used nail polish remover on it first, then repainted. The nail polish remover got rid of most of the factory paint. It was easy to paint after that.

Thanks dude. I like it I may have any extra headsculpt if you are interested. Let me know.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Yeah man if Chris doesn't have one for you I'm sure I do.

For reals? Send me your paypal and i'll drop some coin. Don't consider anything else, do not hook me up. Seriously, this would probably go on a stormtrooper Luke.

You got it. Let me check out the condition of it when I get home.

I'm out of town for work, I return home tonight.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted anything or have been slow to reply to messages the past few weeks, I have been pretty busy. I accepted a new job that will have me relocating to Nebraska. With that, comes moving. With that comes the difficult task of boxing up and storing my collection.

I never really thought I would have to move and lose this display space. Family comes first though. Hopefully with this new opportunity professionally, I will be able to find or design even a better space for my stuff in our new home. In the meantime, I have spent the past couple of weekends carefully boxing up my figures.

I have seen others on these forums have to box up their collections. I really had no idea what a massive task it was. Hopefully this is the last time I have to do this. It will probably be a year or so before I get these guys out again and set them up properly. I probably also won't have any time or ability to work on any customs for the foreseeable future.

In the meantime, I will be living vicariously through you guys. Keep up the good work. I will be back soon enough.

 

[Spudtrooper]

And people wonder why we keep the boxes. This is why. Best of luck man. Just don't keep them packed away too long. Remember Toy Story. haha

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Oh no, that makes me very sad. I will definitely miss the creative custom updates.
