Artist Clones and Babes (Star Wars Custom Action Figures)

Sweet, the custom looks like aalya secura

 

Thanks bub, did some more work today

I'll take better pics when it's done to show the differences between the browns

 

Awesome

 

Started another project

 

Embo?

 

Another clone trooper WIP, will be Blitz with Phase 1 helmet

 

Awesome!!!

 

They have turned out great!

 

Forgot the spots and shoulder thing

 

Awesome!!!

 

I like how the one in the middle is posed! It looks like they're dancing the Flamenco!

 

Cannot be unseen.

 

In the process of making another trooper for a commission, it's an Airbone Trooper with some tweaks

 

Looks amazing!!!

 

What are some popular clone troopers that haven't been officially released in 6 inch scale yet? (Basically, what trooper can I make that will sell quickly? haha)

 

I'm not familiar as to who has been made and released officially but I know Rex, Fives, Echo, Wolfe and Gregor has some following.

I've been curious, what type of paints have you been using?

 

Rex and Wolfe have official releases
I already made Fives and Echo so I'd rather make someone new (I suspect Hasbro will release them in ARC armor anyway)
Gregor is cool but would need to be like 95% sculpted because of the Commando armor. That would def need to be a commission, sculpting all that just to have it sell for $40 at auction would be demoralizing lol

I use lots of different paint brands, Privateer Press, Testors, Tamiya, Folk Art, etc. Brand doesn't matter though because painting technique is more important. Each of those brands have their own quirks, and if you have good technique/enough experience you can adapt them for use in any situation.

 

Type of paint. Do you use enamel or acrylic?

 

If that's the question, there's no reason I can see for using enamels/lacquers on these figures. Too many drawbacks and potential problems.

All those brands I mentioned are acrylics with their own quirks (alcohol base, water base, additives, different viscosity, etc.)

 

Bah, made another one of these guys! If it only goes for like $30 like the last one, I'm just gonna keep it.

I would keep it too it is awesome.

 

Thanks bub, guess it gives me an excuse to finally make stuff for myself lol

 

a look at how i make the cloth stuff

it's white cloth that I dye with watered down paint, it ends up looking like canvas
