Speedyweasel's Customs and WIP

[speedyweasel]

I've decided to make a Thread where I can Put all my Customs, Works in progress and future ideas in one place. Anyways everyones welcome to critique anything and everything in this thread because there is always room for improvment. I will also prolly be show casing my Sideshow Figures just cause it's Sideshow Freaks lol.

I'll start you off with some of my oldest customs that i Have left in my posession, I made all these prior to my knowledge of Sideshow from as far back as like 2001-2 ish.

Here is A'sharad Hett:

P.s. btw this custom is so old the belt buck and Lightsaber clip were made from a 1.44 Floppy disk LOL

 

[speedyweasel]

Thought I'd show ya where i developed my love to customize, it all started when i used to play Warhammer 40k. see:

and also where do you work?? heres where I do my customs, its small but it works lol

love to see yours ( i might get ideas) lol

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Love it speedy wee!! I always like to see where we all work and play!! My sons just gotten into 40K! I have just watched the new Ultra Marines Film. If I am good my boy sometimes lets me paint em

this is the 1/6th one that Cbob and I made. He is making a few!! and they look great.


I cant remember if I pm'd you about the clone commander pauldrons and buckets and stuff but I will sort it out mate.

 

[Chakaman]

Nice workstation and setup you have there man! I am glad you started your own thread, looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!!

 

[speedyweasel]

Hey Dorgmal, That Space Marine looks awesome man, I used to play back when i was in like 6th-8th grade that was the late 80's lol I've since gave up playing but I loved and still love to paint them. I'll have to dig up some of my old pics of my Salamander's army.

About the Buckets and Pauldrons, no worries mate I'm in no hurry I know your gotta be busy with all your project etc.. just pm me when ever


Heya Chakaman, Thanks for the support and intrest I'm excited to show more stuff too lol might get some more up today or this evening, I like to drop in on yours too to check out your stuff aswell.

Here's what I got so far for a future build, plus Dorgmal has sent me the shoulder bells for him too. oh if anyone can direct me to a tiny HT head all the ones i have dont fit in the helmet, or do I have to dremel it out?

 

[Crimsonbob]

I think people dremelled the head to fit, but im not 100% on that.

 

[Chakaman]

Yeah, I also had to dremmell the head to get it to fit in the Tomy helmet. Nice start.

 

[speedyweasel]

Thanks for the tip guys

Heres the result:

 

[Chakaman]

Looks good. Those Tomy helmets are badass!! They add a lot to the figure.

 

[speedyweasel]

Heres a couple more:



Luke X-Wing Pilot:

Hoth Rebel Trooper, This guys needs work, main thing for me are the boots some ssc bespin luke boots would be nice but i aint buyin a whole fig for the boots, well maybe i would but my wife wont let me.

 

[Chakaman]

Looks good. I may have a pair of Luke Bespin boots for you laying about. Ill go through my parts.

 

[dh4]

Hey Speed,
I felt the same way about the Hasbro Hoth boots.
So I finished mine by repainting the boots, then glueing 1/8" white elastic over the molded straps and finishing with a little weathering. I'm very happy with the finished product and it also costs a lot less the the SS boots. I've attached finished pics.

Hope this helps, Dan.

 

[speedyweasel]

dh4, those look so good man. might have to put my painting to the test lol atleast to get them to look as good as yours.

 

[Boba Felder]

Very nice customs....that Tusken Jedi reminds me that I have to get back at mine and do the final touch ups....I was a lazy lil fella lately....

 

[speedyweasel]

Thanks Boba I love reading everyones feedback.

here are my two WIP:


Bly: Still needs Pauldron and holsters and ammo pouches

CW Obi Wan: still need head and shoulder art, which are inroute with the help of Dorgmal and Witekite, thanks guys for your help on this project

well this is them right now, enjoy

 

[speedyweasel]

Here's Gree:

 

[big guy]

Speedyweasel amazing customs you have there. The Wip Jedi General looks great. Really like the Rebel Hoth Officer and hope you can sort out the boot issue one way or the other.

 

[speedyweasel]

Thanks a lot big guy, and yeah I can't wait till General Obi Wan is done. and the boots sheesh, been brushing up on my painting to see what i can do, dh4 had a good resolution that I may try. and if all else fail ssc boots. I think Chakaman said he may have a set. (btw thanks Chaka for lookin for me )

anyways thought I might post a pic of my CW Crew thus far (shy Obi)
Enjoy!
