Those on the right don't look like DiD. ToysCity maybe?

It could be, I suppose. It has been a while. Anyone happen to have a packaged pic of the ToysCity ones? Seriously it has been close to four years.

Hey Eczamurai, it's been fun following your customizing journey here with Luke. Great progress so far! It brings back memories of customizing Luke, starting when I first received him from Sideshow in 2006.

Shaving and painting the eyebrows lower is definitely a worthwhile endeavor, IMO. I remember back when I did it, I was nervous too, but it really does pay off. Padding under the clothing is also a must. I first used clumps of cotton balls taped directly onto the body, but quickly realized this process was messy as wisps of cotton would continuously work their way through the clothing. Strategically placed pieces of foam do work much better.

As for the footwear, I tried using the German boots described above, but they appeared a bit too bulky and have more wrinkles than I wanted in the boots. I use the boots that came with Bespin Han. I find that with their glossy finish, the boots are more fitting for Luke's attire.

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Yes indeed, it should be smaller.

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

thanks! Cant wait to get the cast inhand to have a second go at him, hopefully in a slightly smaller scale!

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

resculped the eyebrows to give him a determined/stern ready for battle look. I like it, anybody want pics?

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

we always want pics

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Please do post some pics!
We might end up having to ask you for recasts of your work!

PICS OR GET OUT!

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

will gloss his eyes and lips and post pics!

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Looks a lot better!
But there's just something about the overall shape of the original sculpt that throws the whole thing off for me.

Great work on your part though!

Re: Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

I like!! Much less of a "deer in the headlights" look. Reminds me of the point in the duel where he switches off his saber after kicking Vader down the stairs.

hey guys, figured I'd post my new stuff here instead of making a new thread all the time!

Jedi Luke:

I'm on board and waiting for more.
I love your work. Is that a HT Slim body for Luke?
