MY CUSTOMS...

[lugo_matapollos]

Hi again, so finaly set the table for a photo sesion whit my already finished customs... i just realize that most of my customs are work in progres, so here I present to you the ones that i think that are already done. lets get started.

this is my post for the feral droids this month...its a patrol and security droid that went bersek.

Ephant mon...this bad boy was built about four years before the saga figure.

check this out, its a big figure used a gargoyle figure and lots of green stuf, that jedi is one of my first, look so much like a mexican singer, the Buky, so i called it Buky jedi. lol :lol:

this supposed to be quinlan vos, it didnt came that well....but here it is.

rodian pilot...dont have a helmet for it...soon maybe

found this guy at a flea market, it didnt had an arm so gave him this one...like the way it looks. its a simple fan fictional caracter.

this cobra armor reminded me of a sith apretiece of the KOTOS video game...just add an old rag an voila!...

a sullustan jedi...super sculpey it is...still need paint work.

swoop bike.

just added a figure so you can see the size of it.

jedi swoord master, realy liked that he looks so much like Gene Hackman

some how I came whit this troopers, cant remember why.

twilek jedi, the lekus are sculpted whit green stuf an the face is from Spirit, the indian GIJOE.

a jabba guard, he is an old fashioned weequay, named it Bichat...

whipid warrior with a morning star..the head is super sculpey, use a ninja turtle arms and legs, the torso is from a POTF2 storm trooper.

cay queldroma.

Mace Windu as I would like him to fight at the clone wars.

corelian smugler

mi Hermie Odle wannabe...lol. ok, i admit it...he doesn't look like him, it turned to be a new caracter. cool isn't?

some rags are the best way to come up with random caracters to fit in dioramas.

some repaints, other random caracters for dioramas.

Even Piel. again, my version before the one from hasbro...

a more playable version of fisto...need some paint work.

some times when you play with epoxic you get this kind of results...I dont know about you guys but i liked it very much.

imperial gollem. it was a superman armor.

a couple of rebel troops for the Hoth diorama that me and my friends built...chek it out if you please, let me ad a link for it.
http://swccmty.page.tl/Convencion-35.htm

luke and leia from dark empire. two versions of leia.

ok, so they are jedi KNIGHTS...whit battle armors. this is the way that I imagine them since obi wan talked luke about the clone wars.

artificial protesis, cyborg arms...just fooling around with my dremel

as you can see, i still have some ideas waiting in the bench...that is supposed to be a young yoda... :lol:
ok, let me know if you liked them.

so long, adios raza!

 

[GleamingTerrier]

I like your sculpting! The Hermi Odle-type head is great, it reminds me of an alien I've seen outside of SW, I just can't remember where...

 

[stormforce customs]

Really good work man i agree with GT the Hermi Odle-type looks great and the epoxie sculpt shows promise could be a good figure and i love the body sculpt on the young Yoda. It all takes time and practice the more you do the better you get. Nice work man welcome to a very addicitive hobby

 

[blaster_e11]

i really like your sculpted customs, they look good

the wiphid is just : WOW !

 

[lugo_matapollos]

thanx for the coments guys, most of those customs are realy old and couldn't keep doing them cause of university, social service and private practice...now that i have some time left can hit the workbench. by te way, the Luke from dark empire was a recipe from my old friend kalvin, forgot to give him the credits for that one. ok, here are some updates.

my rendition to the blaze trooper

Ben quandinaros, pod racer coming soon.

maybe I'll post pictures of my mask collection, hand made whit paper mache, but it will be in another tread.
adios raza!

 

[stormforce customs]

I think i have sussed what alien Hermie Odle reminds me of its the Vogons from the movie version ofThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. New stuff looks good love the Ben quandinaros figure really good likeness and the Blaze Trooper is a good figure paint aps are sound. Is it based on a Ironman figure. What i like about your stuff is that you're diving straight in to it sculpting everything you can. Thats exactly how i started and i will give you the same encouragement i was given " Aim high and it wont be long before you hit the top" great work man.

just looked for that species on google and youre right, they look alike but its just a fluke, lol! the trooper is based on a heavy artillery armor iron man and the clone head is from those little busts from gentle giants. most of my custom suplies come from flea markets. realy cheap :mrgreen: Il keep working on sculpting, wanna get good at it like some of you guys here at the forum.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

You've really got a style all your own, and some very cool work to go along with it. I really enjoy seeing so much variety - not just in characters, but in sculpting too... that Ephant Mon in particular is really cool, I am sure that if I had that before the SAGA version came out, I would have been extremely proud of that one... sculpting is such a task, it's just something I've never felt comfortable with doing.

:wink:

 

[lugo_matapollos]

hello everyone
here are some of the latest works. some are from the last yakfinities.

black sun agent. Xizor double. He plays as the big man during hard situations.

here's another one, his name is "Blue toes" Vinnie, or just B.T. Hes a Black Sun agent and an swoop races enthusiastic, he has done several modifications to his bike. He's such an speedoholic that he even got himself a jump suit from a exotic dancer trying to make himself more aerodynamic, it didn't fit ok on him though...so that's where he got his nickname...Blue toes, cause the blood flow is not that well in his feets when he wears it. He usually drags with his swoop the ones that mock on this fact. He's racing his way to the top in the illegal circuites and has some quite of a reputation.

Yarkora guy called Joe. He's B.T.'s coach in a sort of speak, feeds him all the intelligence gathered across the other racers shops, bookies,mechanics, and random low life around the race circuits.

This is a custom of a friend of mine, just dont tell her...it is supposed to be a surprise...still a wip.

whipid bounty hunter from The Force Unleashed bespin mission. Im not happy with the paint work.

I really like gamorreans and whipids so freakin much! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Great stuff buddy, I admired and enjoyed seeing many of those in the last Yakfinities...

I allso really like the custom Whipid, you put some hard work and details into that head sculpt and I dont' think you should be down on yourself about the paint job at all. Looks pretty damn good to me.

The custom of your lady friend is also shaping up nicely, looking forward to seeing the end result!

:wink:

 

[lugo_matapollos]

hi guys....
I bought the TRU expanded universe figures, except the troopers...some how they didnt catch my eyes...unfortunately i couldnt build complitely the BAD droid, I didnt had the legs...so I started to look for a couple of caterpilars to set him up just like walie.

at this point I have not found the right ones for BG J38, but I got a piece of toy, its from Megatron, a transformer toy from Burguer King...dont know how to call it in english...a traction car kinda toy? the ones that you put on the ground, you pull it back and once that its released, it moves ahead???

ok, so i attached an r2 body on top of it with epoxic stuff an voila...a diferent astromech to play with...it isnt finished, still need some paint to match the color scheme of the body and the lower section, and little details here and there.

ok, Ill better show you the pictures of it. lol

cause of all the sockets on the sides there is a lot of posibilities of arms configurations. dont know why hasbro canceled this, getin an extra piece to BAD is way cooler than a locker with weapons, a red/blue figurine or some card game in each figure.

here are some videos. dont know if the links are going to work. just click on top of the next images




so what do you think of it? its a WIP

 

[lugo_matapollos]

here's another WIP, just took HD and turned him into a huge mando....

used a POTF2 boba fet helmet but it was too small so i had to sculpt arrownd it to make it bigger so it fits the huge figure.
still not completely painted, he has a belt of puches on his leg and Im looking to attach another one on his waist, any suggestions?
Im planning on painting lots of details on the gatling gun, just gave it a black wash but it can be improved.
I was thinking in changing HD's hair cut into a mullet or giving him a war tribal tatoo face so it has an alternative head.

-told ya to eat your all your vegetables Boba...you see what I was talking about???!!!!

-shure pa'...but I dont know what jet pack could pick up that big mando freak!

 

[tokiravensky]

Dude, that mando trooper is awesome. at first I couldn't even tell you had sculpted around the helmet. You did an excellent job. If you hadn't have told us that you sculpted the helmet I would have been going crazy trying to figure out where you got it. excellent job!!!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

The Mando trooper is certainly cool, but man that droid is over the top awesome!

Seriously, that is such a cool concept. I think I'm going to have to make something similar - wow!

:wink:

 

[lugo_matapollos]

thanks guys, I have lots of ideas but short time to get on them...when i have the time to work on figs a mental block suddenly happens and the only thing left to do is going to hang out with the gang :lol:

does any one have already tryed to see the videos? are the links working all right?

 

[Darth Phantom]

Lugo, the Mando you made is bada$$. Love the look of him a whole lot and the sculpted helmet is terrific.
Great addition to the Mando army.

 

[darth naes]

Hey Lugo, I have to agree with darth phantom and say great job on the Mando. That helmet is great and he looks impressive next to the Fetts.

 

[lugo_matapollos]

hello guys, just uploading a new set of pictures, my latest custom for this yakfinities, is ALF as a rebel trooper. Also my paper mache masks, hope you like them.

it used to be a little ninja turtle, the helmet is from the rebel trooper POTF2, had to use the old dremel on it. everything else is sculpted on.

I started to work with paper mache a long time ago, I was getting better after a surgery and my mom show me some handcraft magazines cause I was bored as hell and I was immediatly hooked on it. some of my first ones ended up as special gifts to friends (and exgirlfriends, :evil: )

this has huge and very heavy hornes, it is hard to wear it and try to walk trough the crowded clubs, I wore it last Halloween

this is the smallest and most simple of my creations.

my proyect for this Halloween, this is how it looks a work in progress. its supposed to be a wereboar :twisted:

paper mache comes handy when your building up a Diorama...its easy to use, enviroment friendly and real cheap!
hope you like them.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Wow, those paper mache skulls are wicked!

Also the ALF custom is fantastic, ha ha - very cool.

:wink:

 

[Kolti Wan Kenobi]

Both Swoops are awesome, and the mando looks amazing.
