customizing figures, anyone had a go?

[Frunkstar]

love the cloud car pilots, but the luke guard looks like he should have been in a 'carry on' film :lol:

hmmmm did u make these cloud car customs yourself? or buy them off albob67??? he had 2 for sale recently.

I did buy the 2 from albob67, his were Han & Luke, but I made these 2 myself after seeing how easy it had been dun, now how do I fit Han - Luke & Lando in to a twin pod :?: anyone made a custom tri pod cloud car :lol:

Do you know if the other listed items from that seller are legit?, as I got a "prototype" C-3PO unpainted from him & was wondering if it had been stripped rather than being a prototype, as I have heard of this being done & he has just listed lot's more :|

i doubt its a real prototype sorry.... but at least on the ones he has just listed he has stated "custom"

Interesting reads, maybe I should have a word with they guy I got mine from, as I assumed it had been stripped as the limbs are loose, oh well chalked down to expirience eh.

I will have to have a chat with you sometime about the moulding & thanks for those links to gustie, most informative & excellent job on the weapon.

back to the thread - customs...

here is my latest project...

managed to track down the correct head

http://theswca.com/images-rarit/german-proto.html

next job is to glue the eyes and neck together properly and cast a new head with the correct size neck and peg to hold it onto a c3po figure like a proper head should... Ill cast it in white plastic and just spray it silver and paint on the black details.
