Ok, so heres all the customs I've made from the day I started buying minis till now, the first ones are the oldest, then more recent, then more recent, etc

Clone Commander Appo
Image
My very first custom, made it for a friend.

Darth Raymus
Image
My first custom with greenstuff. Didnt come out super well, but I still like it.

Shadow Commandos

Stix
Image

Rade

Image

Tek
Image

Draven
Image

Torrent
Image

Torch and Splint on Shadow Speeder
Image
Worked with greenstuff more and got better and reposing joints

Scal Sybar, Jedi Master

Image
Made this guy because I wanted to make a custom and had a spare Polis Massan, esy. More repositioning

Antroz Krath, Sith Assassin
Image
Trying to make a good looking assassin, this guy turned out to be a flop.

Darth Syron, Dark Lord

Image
One of my favorite customs, Syron needed LOTS of greenstuff and repositioning. Learned how to bend plastic with the lightning.

Darth Charn, Sith Apprentice

Image
Experimenting with greenstuff lightsabers, didnt work.

Commander Faron

Image
Another one of my favorites, Faron is a stormtrooper commander stationed on Ord Ibanna with his Taser Troopers.

Igor

Image
A for fun custom, experimented with greenstuff heads, partly successful.

Canderous Ordo, Mandalore
Image
Very pleased with how my Mandalore turned out, only problem is that he is almost indistinguishable from the other Mandos.

A'den, Mandalorian Warrior

Image
Being Ordo's right hand man, I wanted A'den to have a very dynamic pose, I think I did moderately well for using a soldier.


Telgan Sarqus
Image
A fanon swoop rider. This guy was made from the remains of the swoop I tore apart for another custom.


DC-39 Turret
Image
An anti infantry turret. Can you guess what I used for it? (including the base and laser)

R5-29
Image
One of the 4 "Doombots" from Operation Cheap Bot. A very simple custom.

SNEAK PREVIEW

Storm Commando Flinch
Image
This is the first time I have showed anyone outside my family this custom, and yes, he is climbing up a wall. The custom should be finished within 2 weeks.

Saber Squad

Draven
Image
Draven is the ironfisted leader of Saber Squad. He expects the best, and only the best performance from his squadmates.

Fox
Image
Fox is the teams heavy weapons expert. His weapon of choice is the DC-17's Anti armor attachment. Fox is a serious fighter and has a quick wit.

Torrent
Image
Torrent is the teams expert sniper. He uses an experimental DC-15x sniper rifle, the weapon that later became the standard issue sniper for the Galactic Empire.

Stix
Image
Stix is the teams medic and tech expert. He received his nickname because he always carried extra bacta sticks which sometimes saved his squadmates lives. Stix uses the standard funciton of the DC-17 most often, providing cover fire for his squadmates.

Oh, looks like Saber Squad ran into a bit of trouble......

depends on which one you are talking about. for some, it was jsut repositioning and paint. others required greenstuff. It took me a couple experieces to learn how to handle greenstuff correctly, so dont be discouraged if it doesnt come out the way you wanted it to. Darth Syron was the custom i always wanted to make, but i made quite a few other customs before him so I could get a feel for my tools, you might want to do the same, or you could skip them, its up to you

Very impressive, I've been intending to get a few packs of green stuff to begin really customizing.

I could not have achieved this award on my own. I would like to thank my parents for buying me too many toys growing up, Thanks mom and dad! :lol:

Edit: Also I would like to thank Jesus. Doesn't everyone thank Jesus in their acceptance speech?

The updates look good too. I actually need a little advice on customizing minis because I'm making my first custom soon, but I'm gonna start slow and not work around cutting them too much or anything, being I have no money and very few minis to add. I want to use Plo Koon (My favorite character) even though he's expensive. I'm not going to use him in a game though, so I figured; Why not use him for an awesome custom and make me appreciate him more? So, now that my long introduction is finally over, got any advice? I'm making him use force lightning against a few opponents. Any advice would be well appreciated :lsfight:

hmm, lightning. you can either use it the way i did (from action figures, using ironlightsaber's hot water method to reshape it), ive seen people use hot glue colored with blue sharpies, or you could even try sculpting greenstuff around a wire base and painting it with a light blue coat and then a clear darker blue coat

Well, aparently one of my friends know a place where you can buy that kinda lightning for SWM. That isn't really the problem. One of the problems is that bending the minis with hot water and then putting them in ice water for like 10 minutes isn't really working out for me. What's the best way to reposition? :lsfight:

are you trying to bend the entire mini or just the lightning? If you trying the entire mini, it might not work so well, you might as well just cut and paste. Hot water is for smaller pieces

Oh alright. I was trying to bend the entire mini. The battle droids are pretty good about staying in place but that's because they're really skinny minis. Alright, thank you. Now I'm gonna go out and buy some good glue =]
