Darth Fovos

I have found the perfect material for making lightwhips. It's a solid rubber cord that's highly flexible and simi-translucent.

The hood is connected to the shoulder armor and can all come off as one piece. There are two lightsabers on his back from jedi he fell, and they are removable.

Dar Wellok

This is a custom Chagrian jedi named Dar Wellok.

I actually painted the hands and neck with a color I happened to have on hand that was a perfect mach.

Painted the hilt gun metal, makes the gold and bronze detail stick out more.

 Workshop:

Haven't had the time to finish a project, but have worked bits and pieces of a couple.

This is the Massassi I'm working on for imperialshipyards.net's current custom contest. Just started with a foot, and bulked up the back a bit.


Mastered a technique to make any head fit on any body, by making the hole large enough for the ball joint and adding clay to make it fit perfect.

A new project I've been working on is adding joints to figures that need more or are missing some. I cut a section out of the leg and super-glued it in then put clay around it.

Commisions

Willing to make specific figures for people, just say what you want, and supply me the reference material, drawings, pics, ect. We can negotiate a price from there based on materials needed, it's complexity, and how much time it will probably take to make. Contact me any way, I'm on ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/sch/dartharmoresscustoms/m.html?item=351200924029&hash=item51c534d17d&pt=US_Action_Figures&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 ), Gmail (dartharmoresscustoms), or Facebook ( www.facebook.com/dartharmoresscustoms ).

Classic custom of the week:


Figured I'd start with my profile pic for the first week. This is a G.I, Joe figure that I painted silver and black, the tunic is cut up from other figures tunics with a black cloth belt, the shoulder plates are made from a technique I use to make cloth harder by painting it with enamel paint, the chest plate is really just a hunk of plastic that looks cool there, and I sewed the hood myself. This is my favorite custom I've made so far.

Custom Star Wars Figures

I started making custom star wars figures years ago so I could have any figure I wanted. Personally I don't like having customs in my collection, but loved making them. So I started selling them on ebay, and this way the hobby pays for itself. Then in more recent years, Hasbro just hasn't been delivering anything Star Wars worth buying, and they only make up excuses to why they won't deliver. So I strive to fill that niche with cool customs to make collecting Star Wars figures great again.





Custom Rodian Mandalorian
This is my latest custom figure based off of a comic design. Loved the choices in it to keep the "bug eyes", it really conveys the fact that it's a Rodian. This one is meant to be a close combat specialist, preferring melee weapons to firearms, but that doesn't mean he's won't use the pistol on his belt. He has an array of weapons, pistol, beskar daggers, and his favorite, his beskar hammer, that was until he bested a jedi in battle with it. Now he uses the felled jedi's lightsaber as his greatest treasure.
