Bobskink Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) I decided to make some more customs and to finish some old ones which still need to be finished. Starting with Ackbar over here: Here are some older ones. I didn't post the ones I'm not that proud of. Commander Cody I know his visor shouldn't go up and down, but I did it anyway, much coller that way. Shaak Ti Queen Amidala another Queen Amidala Leia as Boushh ...and here is Heman Coming up Max Rebo and the gang Snake Eyes & Scarlet and a Crimson Guard and some more Starwars characters...

Plural Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 All of these are totally brilliant! I especially love your Ackbar. *y* Quote
Bobskink Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 Your decals look so smooth, good job! Thanks, but those aren't decals, I painted them. The headpeaces are made from Supersculpey for those who wonder. Thanks for the comments dudes. Quote
Vader Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 That He Man is so cool, I'm sorry, but I'm gone copy that..... :-P ;-) I must say you have great talent, like i said above i love the He-Man. So you say that you painted it, what paint did you sue and does it come off when hand touched? I have found with paint that even when coated it dosen't last too long :-/ Your Ackbar is very close to the one i first made, same as the Shaak... Though most peoples shaak looks the same X-D Quote

So you say that you painted it, what paint did you sue and does it come off when hand touched? I use Games Workshop paint. It's acrylick based, which means you can easely mix collors until you have the kind of color you want. It's not water resistant, but it does stay on. It's just really really easy tow work with. You have lots of colors ( http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk ) Your Ackbar is very close to the one i first made, same as the Shaak... Though most peoples shaak looks the same X-D That's true, all inspired on the one from the video game, but those are very nice and look the most official I gues Edited January 27, 2008 by Bobskink Quote

Still it's the best i have found so far. So any plans to expand on the He-Man Universe? A Skeletor would be great. Quote

But since I only use them for displaying it's not sush a big problem. I hope to do a Skeletor some day, but the problem is that a good custom is very time consuming. But the Heman is for a friend actualy, so if I make a Skeletor, i will have to make a new Heman. BTW, there's a Hellboy coming up, also for a friend. I got about 15 custom heads or headpeaces lying here, still need to paint most of theme Edited January 27, 2008 by Bobskink Quote
Cyclone Titan Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Wow! Thats amazing! Also, Vader, I don't think one can sue paint. :-P Anyway, those are great customs! KUTGW! Quote
zero1312 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Please LEGO, do them like that!!! ;-) X-D Quote

The Daphne Blue Strat Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Wow...I really like the Amidalas in particular. Can't wait to see Max Rebo & Co.! Quote
Turaga of Force Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Wow, those look great. Commander Cody is so detailed... and the rest, with the custom head pieces are really cool too. I must be hard to get the head pieces so accurate... Quote
Bobskink Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) How did you make Cody's visor do that I carved some small holes is the helmet and then modded the visor with a very sharp kniffe so it could swivel up and down. You just need to be patient adn use a very very shark kniffe. If it's no sharp enough it's very dangerous, you're all warned kids!!! I will make a new one, because I sold this one on eBay, I'll post pictures of how I made the visor when I start making a new Cody Edited February 4, 2008 by Bobskink Quote
Hinckley Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Bobskink-Thank you so much for sharing these! Your sculpey carving skills are amazing! I use sculpeyII is it the same as supersculpey? Do you used the colored kind or do you paint all of the sculpey? Yes, it is called varnish in English, what kind do you use? I use testor's clear coat. I'm amazed that these are paint jobs. You are a very skillful customizer. I read most of the thread, but let me clarify: is Cody's visor made of sculpey? I can't tell you how wonderful these look. They're very impressive and I'm glad you've brought them here to share with us. Can't wait to see more! ;-) Quote
aayla-secura Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 You have AMAZING painting skills!And also Sculpeye Skills ... men ... thats one of the best Cody's i have ever seen *y* *y* *y* *y* *y* *y* *wub* *wub* *wub* Quote

Natman8000 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Give me a break Bobey, why would you ask that? This isnt a bazaar! Quote
LuxorV Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 can you make some for me? In this case, Natman is perfectly right! It's already the second post (out of 3 you made) in which you ask somebody (Bobskink again, btw) to give you copy of his work. This is not a customs shop. People post here pics of their creations to get feedback. If you want to discuss with them about purchasing copy of their items, please do that via PM. LuxorV Quote
