Now on eBay…

I’m putting a group of three alien rebel X-Wing pilots up for auction on eBay. You can check it out here:

These include my first ever custom, the Greedo X-Wing Pilot, as well as my most recent, the Hammerhead X-Wing Pilot. To round out the group, I’m throwing in the female Mon Calamari Pilot.

Once again, if your interested in looking at the eBay auction, click here!

Now’s your chance to support custom fan art, and own some really cool figures!

Hammerhead As Rebel Pilot

Here is my version of Hammerhead, an Ithorian, as a X-Wing rebel pilot.

Recipe:

• Vintage Hammerhead Head, Feet and Hands
• Vintage Bossk Arms and Legs
• Vintage X-Wing Pilot Body

As always, I only use vintage figures that are beyond repair or restoration, breathing new life into something that would otherwise be thrown away.

Biggs As TIE Fighter Pilot

Biggs Darklighter was a friend of Luke, who trained at the Academy. Biggs served as a TIE Fighter Pilot before joining the rebellion, as we see in the original movie.

Recipe:

• X-Wing Pilot Body
• GI-Joe Head
• Star Destroyer Cmd Arms and Legs

Darth Vader Unmasked…

We’ve seen an unmasked Vader late in life in ROTJ, but what would he have looked like unmasked during his prime? His is still scarred and burned, but looking stronger and not so pale. As Obi Wan says, “He’s more machine than man now…”

Still needs a black cape…

Recipe:

• Darth Vader Body
• GI-Joe Head

Darth Vader Armor

Here is a reference photo and link to more info.

Imperial Guard Unmasked

This is my custom version of an Imperial Guard with his helmet removed, so we can get a glimpse of the type of man beneath the mask. The Imperial Guard was originally formed to protect the Galactic Senate, so these individuals pre-date the Stormtroopers and are not clones.

Still needs a red cape…

Recipe:

• Darth Vader Body
• SnowTrooper Helmet
• GI-Joe Head

Imperial Guard

Here’s a reference photo and link to more info.

General Lando Calrissian

Here’s my custom version of General Lando Calrissian. I created this for two reasons: One, the “real” version is somewhat rare, and two, the “real” version doesn’t quite get the uniform right. This custom doesn’t get it 100% either, but at least the slacks are (approximately) right.

Recipe:

• General Madine Torso and Shoulders
• Skiff Lando Head
• Bespin Lando Arms
• AT-AT Pilot Legs

All my customs use vintage figures that were in “played-with” condition and beyond restoration.

BoShek, Everyone’s Second-Favorite Cantina Pilot

This is the requisite “BoShek” custom, the pilot from the cantina scene that introduces Obi Wan to Chewbacca.

Recipe:

• Bossk Body
• X-Wing Pilot Legs and Arms
• GI-Joe Head

I only use vintage figures, those that are beyond any repair or restoration, for my customs.

Soontir Fel, Almost Finished…

Soontir Fel, a character in the expanded universe, was considered among “the best starfighter pilots in the galaxy”. This figure is nearly finished, just missing the red “blood-stripe” down the sleeves, signature of the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing.

You can find a full Wookieepedia bio for Sooner Fel here.

This character was pulled together from a wide range of vintage figures.

Recipe:

• Vintage General Madine Legs
• Vintage X-Wing Pilot Body
• Vintage Snowtrooper Arms
• Vintage GI-Joe Head
• Vintage AT-AT Driver Helmet

These particular vintage figures were good candidates for customization, being in generally poor condition…and the X-Wing pilot needed a new paint job…

Soontir Fel 181th

Works in Progress…

Here are two works in progress, both nearly finished and just in need of a few accessories.

The first is an Imperial Guard with a removable helmet. The idea is to personalize this figure by seeing the face behind the red mask. To finish this figure he needs a better staff weapon and a red cape.

The second is Darth Vader Unmasked. He is “more machine than man” now, and it shows. He also needs a cape, and some detail on the chest plate.

Recipe (Imperial Guard):

• Darth Vader
• Snow Trooper
• GI Joe Head

Recipe (Darth Vader Unmasked):

• Darth Vader
• Medical Droid
• GI Joe Head

I only use donor figures that are beyond repair or restoration.
