I’ve been mostly posting over on WOTC, but with their inevitable decline I thought I’d join the Great Migration and look in on Bloo and Gamers more often than I used to.

I’ve been making custom mini’s and cards for a few years now, although have rarely posted them through lack of time, camera’s, etc. Thought I’d show a chunk of it here. If I have a card, I’ve also got a mini; always thought it was useless to have stats but no mini to use them with in a game. I’ve used everything from SWM’s, DDM’s, Heroclix, Horrorclix, Mage Knight and Reapers. I’ll try to anything at least once. Paint jobs are like my stat cards … I’m no expert, but I try; you’ve been warned BigGrin

A lot of my cards are still the old templates; if I ever get a chance to upgrade to the newer styles I've seen, I will.

Imperial










Rebel







Old Republic

Separatist



Mandalorian



Chiss



New Republic





Sith





YuuzhanVong





3D Terrain

I've been thinking about doing a 3D mini setup for awhile now, and
other peoples work has inspired me to try my own hand at it. I don't
have the time, space or resources to cast/mold anything, so I thought
about what could I do with what little I had ...... so, on to my version
of a Sith Temple.

Never realized how hard 3D is till you try it yourself; so many decisions;
Hats off to those who don’t struggle with it like I’ve been doing. I seem to
be stuck on which paint schema to go with; a brownish stone fascia on the
walls or a grayish brickwork pattern. Do I use a SW brown/gray blank map
or a cork sheet painted whichever color I roll with? I’ve done a few walls
with both paint schemes; comments on which would be better appreciated.
I’m still on the fence about the columns; which color the walls are will dictate
the column coloring. I finally got those Ziterdes Statues, which will get a dark
gray paintjob. The brown wall picks didn't actually come out well in the pics;
they actually have a granular look to them with some other paint I found; not
quite the stine finish I tried, but more textured. The color will be painted slightly
darker.

I’m using a D&D Cloud Giant as a central courtyard statue; not sure if I want
to paint over such a nice paintjob. I also found some interesting statues
(Ziterdes Statues – Wisdom & Silence) that were interesting.
































I’ve also got a Smugglers Base of sorts, complete with a landed starship; I think its
darn close to the right size for a small 4-man ship. Nothings really painted yet except
the starship … some of my custom mini’s are scattered around that are mostly
done except for the paint jobs on a few; that Quermian came it reasonably nice once I finish painting it.

























My youngest sons wedding is next weekend and I’ve been swamped by my wife with Honey Emergency Do Lists for the last few weeks. Still, I’ve had a few moments to spare; no time to break out the paint in a big way, but I’ve been busy with some ideas. Any comments/suggestions appreciated; kinda stuck on that fence and after the wedding I will actually have time to do this the right way ....

It wasn't easy, that's for sure. I've got no ability with greenstuff, so I used a D&D Draconian (which one escapes me, the gray colored one,) cut the wings off, gave him a more pronounced beak, and used part of the wings for the blade weapon he carries. Not my best mini, but at least recognizable/serviceable.

About two-three years ago I found some cards that someone had done for a Chiss Faction; I cleaned the card up as best I could ... also did a Zann Consortium and a Black Sun faction cards ... presentable but not WOTC worthy :)

Boy, tougher crowds here in Bloo & Gamers; only comments I get are on how'd I do something ... not a single comment about whether any of the work either sucks or is decent ... at least the WOTC crowd said something occassionaly. Must be because I'm newer here :)

The Ysanne was actually an easy figure to make ... a Jessica Jones Heroclix head on a Czerka body; apologies if the card abilities are the same ... just read her Wook bio and tried to figure what she'd be able to do ...

I started looking elsewhere for potential customs fodder a few years ago; apparently I subconsciously smelled the end coming ... that and I wanted some new plastic to cut. Some are quite usable almost as is with a lil repaint :)

Elsco is a Czerka repaint with a Heroclix Con Artist head.
Finn is a Human Bodyguard with a new head; still looking for a better body.
The na-Hutt guard my own creation; a mutated Hutt (used as a guardian species) is just a Bullywug Thug DDM.

The Telosian is just a Iktochi repainted/repositioned body with a COTF Jedi guardian head.

Serra Keto eludes me at the moment ... I think its mostly Heroclix ... a Valkryie head for the braidwork ....

Kai is mostly a DDM Elf Druid Female (looked for pointy ears)

The Jedi Brute is a repainted DDM Warforged Wizard with a double bladed lightsaber.


Kul Teska is a Heroscape Major Q-10; used as is without repaint.

Shiva, a Heroclix Secret Invasion Doom. I created him as an alternative Vong unique in the mold of a Nom Anor.

Juno is a repainted Heroclix Cuckoo ....

IMHO, Urai wasn't done full justice. Check out my Urai in my Forces of Corruption Custom Set.
