Hurricanes SW customs,

[hurricane]

Hi everyone, im new here and thought you maybe would likle to see some of the pieces i make....lmk what you think....most are based on existing hasbro figures but now with the new sideshow figures im looking forward to more human based figures,i have the SSc Luke already in progress, all the vaders have full internal reveal details, hand made from metal, voice functions, good articulation,lit chest/ belt boxes,and lit sabers, origianlly based on high power leds, now working on EL ones, the Darth maul is the first to have fully cordless EL lit saber, no wires at all, just place the saber in his had and voila'.The clone uses modified hasbro armor on a bbi 3.5 body,with a cast of my own sculpted ep3 clone helmet.http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0059.jpg

hi, a while ago i was commisioned to make a screen accurate ESB fett for Wor-Gar, loved making him and WG was pleased.This is a new Fett,ROTJ version, marmit jump suit /flak vest etc, corrected gaunlets with brass etched details, steel spikes in boots, machined alloy knee dart nozzles,corrected belt, hand made hip pouches,the right one contains a pressure switch for the voice function (electronic BF gutts fitted inside BBI G3.5 body, repainted armor/knees armor etc, corrected/repainted jetpack,with working 'beacon' light.Chest Led display lights up.Recasted jango Fett head, scarred up etc,to resemble how i think fett looks with influence from WGs' original concept look.OTC Fett helmet hollowed out and with tinted 'T' visor fitted, photos from the 'Myth and Magic' exhibition were used as reference.http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/79f98dca.jpg

Love them all.
There like offical products,there so detailed and look like art more than figures.

I really like Padme,shes so sexy:monkey5

[dekadentdave]

How did you chrome your lightsaber hilts? Did you completely spray the piece with chrome and then prime the areas you wanted to paint over with acrylic? I have been wanting to chrome mine and I was told that mirrored chrome is impossible to achieve in acrylics and must be airbrushed or sprayed on.

[figuremaster_les]

Hurricane, you are still, bar none, the best Star Wars Customizer in the World!
Enjoy your status my friend!
Amazing works!

Damn dude! You are a Magician of the highest order!
That is one wicked helmet!
In fact, if you just made a little row of a bunch of the different Clone Trooper helms, on a sort of display base with posts for them to rest on, like the LOTR helms, I would get the set!

I think one day, I will get one of your figures. One. I can't afford as many as I'd like....ok, maybe two, I do want one of your lightup Vaders....but, your Commander Cody is a must. I must get one. Somehow.
He is all I really want for my entire collection. I have almost all the 1/6 Star Wars figures I want. Really.
But that is the one that eludes my abilities to solve, what with time and information and just outright love for Star Wars customs.
So, one day...one day... Look for an email one day....:D

But this Bacara is too awesome!
Just had to say all that.

[die]

Awesome work, just awesome. Cody looks great & so does that Bacara helm.

That Luke saber is incredible!

Brilliant work, as ever! Can't wait to see him finished. I've never seen this much passion for creating armored characters manifest itself so prolifically!

Imagine if the Kurgans had managed to get hold of you....

[figuremaster_les]

As always, your work on these makes me swoon a bit...
That Bacara is amazing. PERFECT helmet. Tops!

[Cowboy]

Man your customs are works of art!!! Why can't side show do this!! I want my Vader!!

[DarkArtist81]

Wow!!! That Bacara is a work of ART.... Just amazing attention to detail. One day I have to have you make something for me, anything! Just to have a one of a kind piece like those you have already made.... Would be an honor.

Keep it up!! I can't wait to see Bacara upon completion. :chew :chew

For real...awesome job. :chew :chew :chew :chew :chew

Please share!!


Isn't there a thread in the back somewhere on LED sabers?....

Hi Hurricane , I've seen your work on various forums over the past year or so and I must say it's truly inspirational ! ( Literally so ,as I've recently started work on my own Commander Bly figure ). I know that you have recently offered a Clone Trooper building service but I wondered whether you are considering selling the helmets , armour parts etc as kits ?

Pricey, but well worth the money for the work and detail that go into them. I'm hoping maybe early next year after I pay off some bills I can commission him for some of his figures. Hurricane's work is amazing!!

unfortunelty true, to convert a sideshow figure to having a in body powered cordless saber.....takes
1 cathode tube
1 custom made invertor
new body
wiring
switches etc etc......
ive yet to try a sideshow body but ive one on the bench (luke jedi) being fitted out...

Chewie and 3po, i must stress i didnt fur up this chewie originally that was done by Mark Magienello of the US, I had one done, then reworked it adding height alot more articulation, reworked the fur, reshaped the head, 3po started life as a genuine kaiyodo model kit, chopped up, detailed, lit eyes,and voice function fitted, first pic shows chewie before his rework.http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0041-2.jpg

Huh. Guess I'll have to watch it again and watch closer. I always miss alot of the background stuff in these movies.

[DarthNeil]

They're also working with a droid on the right of the screen when Obi is on the ship talking with Commander Cody about the holographic projection of Utapau.

[Rogue Trooper]

Cool firespeeder pilot, never thought id see a 1/6 version of him and he looks real sweet.

I love all of your customs! How do you get the lightsabers to light up? They look like the real thing! Awesome custom work!

[lerath666]

And he's going to look even better on my shelf! lol. Hurricane, just wondering, aside from the saber, and belt clip, is there anything else left to do with him? He honestly looks completed to me :)

[Memnoch21]

Gonna knock this up so hurricane can see that I've PMed him and we can also view his fantasic work. Still in awe over that Shaak Ti, wonder if Kit has any pictures he'd like to share. :D

Ive made some revisions to the Hurricane website

Hopefully the site will load and run better as Ive split the sections into seperate movies

I got Hurricane's permission to post these. This is a custom idea I had a couple months ago and no one else but Glenn could have done it justice, I think.

Two Tusken heads in progress, ones for me (the dirtier one) others for lerath666s Sharad Hett......i did a couple of these years back, but wanted to revisit them with an updated version, im gonna have to make the bandolier by hand from leather im guessing as i cant source 'lee enfiled.303 ammunition pouches' in 1/6 ,also i thought it was a good idea with the announcement of ANh luke, finished yusken is the first version i made of this, hopefully get this new one look better..

Great Tusken! I love the headbandages.

[Mooncat]

Thinking the 1st one you did would really benefit from a "wetting"

Im intending to soak a few of mine when I get chance

Make that cloth work with gravity and the figure

[Rogue Trooper]

Have you seen the bondolier from the SSC austrailian light horsemen, looks like a close enough bondolier.

[moxie]

I have seen your work at OneSixthWarriors.com and have always enjoyed your Clone Troopers. Great to see some variety to the White Troopers, be they Clone or Storm. Awesome work on all that you do, not just the Clones.

Thanks for sharing your work.

[hurricane]

Tusken progress,new inner robes,yet to be weathered, and two bandoliers, hand made from faux leather, 1903 Enfield ammunition bandolier and a British Victorian Cavalry .303cal Bandoleer, which is similar if not the same as the screen used (ANH) Martini Henry bandoleer, these too are yet to be weathered and stained......

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0924.jpg

[Mooncat]

nice, I take it you glued these together as that leather looks like it wouldnt bend or pierce that easily ?

[hurricane]

some glueing, mostly folded tho, patterns were made for the pouches then they folded up and were glued in place the buttons are dress makers pins pushed thru,tonight should see the outer robe added, im going for the ANH look where the tuskens had outer robes, EP1 tuskens didnt have these, i may mix the two styles tho by adding a neck scarf,and the respirator seen indepedently but not together

[Les Walker]

Damn skippy! That's what good customs should look like!
Great work Glenn! :rock

[Darren Carnall]

can't argue with that. EXCELLENT work as always.... :bow

[hurricane]

A bit more done, outer robes are the hasblow originals as the materials spot on, i wanted a definite diference 'tween inner and outer robes, the midrift pouches are WRONG at this point, i had no idea wht they were so made some by hand from screen stills, but now i know what they are and will remake them accurately.At this point there is NO weathering done, nor water treatment so excuse the puffyness, the tuskens nose is steel, a domed head screw dremeled to suit.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0934.jpg

[Mooncat]

looks like you sourced the perfect material for this figure - looks the right weight and frays well

and the darkened head certainly looks better

Fantastic job my friend

[Mando]

Looks fatastic, Hurricane! He's gonna be like a little 12 inch person in costume when you're finished!!!:chew

Take a shot without the bottle near his leg will ya glenn that way I can cut the whole figure out for the site

Hey Hurricane. Your PMs are full.

Are you still making the ESB Luke/Vader head? I've been inspired by Josh's work to make my own Dagobah Luke, and I'd love to put your work in to the mix.

[LoveMinusZero]

Hey Hurricane, I was digging through some old threads when I came across your Marmit Sandtroopers here, I was wondering where did you get the large gun (a lewis machine gun I believe) and the binoculars? Or did you just make them? I've been looking for that Lewis in 1/6 scale but can't seem to find on anywhere. Thanks!

Glenn, email sent about the trade. Got in your items and ready to ship!

Great look at your Sandtroopers! I FINALLY have a Medicom one, the 30th anniversary one, and want some tips on dirtying him some. Any open comments on that? I would love to get an idea of how to sand him up better. Right now he looks like he has orange grease on him. Not very "sandy".

Anyway, email and PM posted! :rock

Id guess removing the greasy stuff on him would be first, go careful tho:o
as for sanding a trooper up, always seemed odd to me the screen used sandies had big blobs of muck on them, i mean, glossy armor+sand (or even worse stuff) surely itd dry out and fall off?????maybe youd get some scratches etc with dirt ground into it, or even sand/dust collecting on seams etc....but big splashes of dewback poo?

Awesome bwayne! that's the one i ordered too with all of the bells and whistles. what are your thoughts on the fig? i'm thinking of having a crispy ani head rather than shaw because it looks more intimidating even though shaw is the vader of the OT for me. decisions, decisions.

copy and paste the "hotlink" instead of "thumbnails" at imageshack and it will post the full picture.

[Toast]

the troopers are amazing

[guyver1]

How do I order a Vader and how much?

[toyreveewer]

wow. all i can say is wow. :bow I love your work, but i have just one question, do you have some sort of licence to do these figures? ive just been curios. (and no i'm not an enforcer of the law :lol)

[tforce1]

can't really say too much but just simple amazing!! Especially keep improving versions of Cody!!
