Customikey's Star Wars Customs

[Customikey]

Hey y'all. I have a thread in the general customs area, but it occurs to me that a lot of my fellow SW customizers, fans, and new forum members don't check the general section, and I don't want to be left out of the fun, since A LOT of my work is in Star Wars.

So, here's a recap of some work I've done over the years. There will definitely be new stuff as well!

Natch, a lot of this stuff can also be seen on my website.

Here's a few more!

Amazing work, bro! Love what you did with Watto.

 

[Artoo]

Love the Watto as well, but everything is really amazing! Great job on those Sith eyes.

 

[Darth_IMPoor]

Those are real nice. I'm especially amazed what you did with Bespin Han. Yeah, start hanging out in THIS customs section. It's where all the cool kids are!

What the hell did you do with Vader? It looks AWESOME!!!!!!!:eek

Haha, thanks! Well, he's got the hasbro dome on, and I put wire in his capes. Nice effect, I think! Helps it to sit naturally or be all dramatic.

How did you put wire in the cape?

How did you put wire in the cape?

I got some wire from a hardware store and just fed it through the seam. It's a long, tedious process, but it's worth it. I've done this for several figures now!

 

[Artoo]

I would definitely say it's worth it. That cape is amazing!

 

[Crimsonbob]

Awesome stuff and that cape is killer

 

[barryo]

pretty sure i've seen most of these before but it's nice to see them again & all together. gammy is still a favorite but the vader with wire cape is brilliant.......

I just thought this thread deserved to see my Palpatine head which Mikey did. To date it is my favorite custom head I own:

 

[Customikey]

I'm glad everyone likes the wired cape! There are more (non-SW, too) examples on my site. Just click my banner!

Pix, your Ep1 Sidious is one of my absolute favorites, too! I can't believe I forgot to put it up!

My Emperor is coming on Wednesday, and I don't think I can wait to paint him!! Palpatine in all his forms is my absolute favorite thing to paint. That's no secret, just look at my avatar!

Of course everything looks amazing but I have always loved what you did with Sebulba. Considering it started life off as a plain old Hasbro figure you've kicked it up several hundred notches with your amazing painting skills.

Fixed, I hope. Les did an amazing Sebulba! I'm in awe, and I wish those two figures could have met!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Lovin the Palps you did a stunning job on Pix one as well

 

[Customikey]

Thanks!

Pix, are you gonna use the new Emperor togs for your Ep1 Sidious?

Wow, Dang, I meant to say Watto. Thanks for the correction. I know that Sebulba too, I drooled over that one as well for a long time...
