Nice Lopie. Looking sweet!!

I actually like that head. It looks like the guy from the video game, Star Wars The Force Unleashed. I vote to keep it.

I'll try to cut the neck and see how it looks, and thanks

Yeah man, it's original, creative and authentic. Consider keeping that head sculpt.

Here is my evolution of my Starkiller I used a HT slim then I went with a HT muscle and I like it a lot better. Just have to find a head now.

What do you make the belts from Lopie, they look awesome

Re: LasVegasYankee custom help

I took your advice and cut the neck on the old head, here are a few pics.
I just have to remake a few bandages and weather him up and I'll be done.

As for the belt I used bits from an old men's belt I had laying around.

Here is the type of belt I used. I hope that helps.

Gives me ideas, it does.

(Dammit, slipped into Yoda speak I have. Long week it has been.)

My HT TTM21 has shipped from SSC. Should be here Monday.

I'll be going to some thrift stores over the weekend looking for costume stuff for an upcoming comic convention. I'll be looking at the belt sections also. Hopefully I'll find something I can use.

Also thinking about going with "flight pants" type for my jedi. Any suggestions where I can find a pair of Skywalker Bespin pants or similar would be appreciated.

Looks a lot better with the neck less sculpt... Why do I never think of the obvious when doing customs ( a belt of course )

I've been to a few thrift stores looking for stuff I could possibly use. I think some of you guys got there before me. Haven't found anything usable... yet.

I'll be updating my first post with stuff I'm looking for.

Re: LasVegasYankee custom help

So, I started fiddling around with some of the extra GI Joe stuff I had laying around. This is what I came up with.

Mind you, this is my first attempt at a custom anything.

I figured if my troopers my needed to blow up something big, they should have the appropriate hardware. Next step is painting.

Got some clothing off eBay. $5 for a few items. Some of the stuff I probably won't use so it'll be available for trade. Anyway. Here's the progress.

Been reading on weathering so thinking I'll be trying it on the pants.

Figure looks the business.
I look forward to more updates and ideas for my own custom Jedi characters.
