Latest Acquisitions

[sith-smith]

My latest buys, which came about because I discovered my childhood ones by chance and decided to get more....

Pencil tops

and with the ones I had as a a kid

 

[BlueDog]

Nice one Tim, glad you got it! That's fast postage from Canada.

They've always freaked me out a little Gary, especially that Chewy one. He looks like he's in pain. :shock:

They look great all together though. 8)

Awesome pen tops there, loving them

Got back home and the postman had been. These 3 custom figures i got off ebay from the USA. I got them because they would look cool in my B-wing focus.

Just one question though: I didnt think they would be vintage, but they sure look like they are.

How would this guy make these and sell them for $12.99-$14.99 ???

He also does A-wing pilots too

 

[sith-smith]

And Yoda looks a bit shifty, with those eyes!!

It's called kitbashing, Tim. I've never done it myself, but I've seen some pretty good ones online.

 

[Grant_C]

Nice Tim- the customs look well made.

 

[tiefighterboy]

It's easy...boil the bodies...pop the heads off....replace.

 

[timbo72]

Ive spoken to the guy who does them, and they are vintage parts. He might be able to do other combinations of the pilot for me (depending on his stock)

 

[BlueDog]

Ok I'll start a list of one's I'd like to see:

Ewok (any)
Wookie
Jawa
and Gamorrean Guard.

They do look cool mate and a great way to expand your focus when pickings are slim.

 

[BlueDog]

Yep Gammy B-Wing would rock!

He even looks happy

 

[Pomse2001]

Hi Grant, great tri-logo moc, I love Tri-logo cards :wink:

Hi Tim, awesome, canadian moc :shock: Great custom figures, do you have a link to that guy ?

Hi sith-smith, great tops

Hi tiefighterboy, thanks for the help about how they make those figures

Hi BlueDog I don't think they maid the B-Wing big enough so a fat gamorrean guard can sit in the B-Wing :lol:

 

[itfciain]

Love it Ryan

 

[Grant_C]

Yeah- Ryan- id ove to see an- 'Art of SWFUK' book released.

 

[itfciain]

Finally a chance to post something up - just needed this and Boba to complete the ESB run - this is a beauty and although I paid top end, am very happy

Boba on the way soon ....

 

[Lee77]

Nice one Iain. Looks case fresh buddy. Just the Fett to go now mate. Another expensive one !!

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Thats a really Beauty Iain Congrats mate 8)

 

[Djbighair]

Iain loving that hammerhead, though purchases of the week have to be the b wing variants. Yeah we wanna see more... Though not sure how bastardising figures goes down... The u grade debate enters a new realm...

 

[BlueDog]

A real beauty there Iain, good luck tracking down a Boba Fett.

Not sure how a Art of SWFUK book would go down Grant, it'd be a freakin weird read. :lol:
