Star Wars Custom Of The Week: Duchess Zilla (The Mandalorian -Season 3) By Elias (Customs For The Kid)

Duchess Zilla Of Plazir-13(The Mandaloriam-Season 3) ByElias (Customs For The Kid)At the beginning of this year, I was asked to make a 3.75" Captain Bombardier for a client. This particular client wasn't interested in purchasing the Duchess to go along with him, but a new client, having seen what I did with that project wrote me asking to make this character a reality.The Duchess' costume is quite dramatic and opulent which posed several challenges throughout the process of creating this character in action figure form. The base of this figure was a Yarna D'al Gargan. The original plastic sculpt was radically dremeled away before I started sculpting. To reshape the torso, I sculpted with Green Stuff.Creating her head in Zbrush was an educational experience. The Duchess' braids required that I make a custom brush to produce her head sculpt. I also had to create another custom sculpting brush with bevels to create the metallic components of her crown.The soft goods were quite challenging to get right. I turned to an old friend, Fern from @plant_cryptid_creates on Instagram for counsel on how to get the dress pattern just right, and their insight and advice truly made this piece successful. To create the strings of jewels hanging from her sleeves, I cut a shiny silver thread to desired lengths, drilled small shallow holes into the arms, and then set each thread into the surface.We hope you enjoy the final product as much as we do! Keep an eye out for a new version of Captain Bombardier as well. He was just commissioned alongside this Duchess and will be coming soon. We hope Lizzo and Jack Black like the way they look."

TCW Wag TooByPeak-OB1 Custom CreationsAndCustoms For The Kid"While I have been busy making non-Star Wars custom action figures for clients, Dad has been helping with making content for our blog by painting up some custom action figure prints that were sent to us by friends of ours in the custom action figure artist community. Chad Peak aka Peak-OB1 Custom Creations is one of our oldest and closest friends. You may recall our YouTube show with Peak-OB1 Custom Creations called "Customizing The Clone Wars" where we went episode by episode sharing with our audience how we went about making the unreleased characters from the show as action figures.This great design of Wag Too and a great companion piece to his Tee Watt Kaa action figure design and print. Being able to complete the father and son set was a real treat!We have a plenty more prints that Darth Daddy will be painting this year so don't be surprised if you see a few other designs from Chad on the blog in the future,"

Jedi Temple Archives"byFuchs Artwerks"This is the 2nd completed room in my Jedi Temple display. Construction was foam core and Google images. The Lost Twenty busts and pedestals are 3D prints (except for Dooku, which came with Jedi Librarian, Jokasta Nu.)"

This week's custom isRebelsstyle Hondo Ohnakapainted byEliasfromCustoms For The Kid"Darth Daddy has been working in the background painting up some more third party offerings to flesh out our Star Wars Rebels action figure collection. This is the fourth 3D print model created and sold by Angry Raccoon Miniatures that we painted up in celebration of adding The Ghost to our collection via HasLab.While our original Hondo was a decent figure, we felt the sculpt provided by Angry Raccoon Miniatures had proportions more faithful to the Rebels animated style. While we lost a lot of articulation with this 5poa version, screen accuracy almost always takes precedence when we make something to add to our shelf display. We hope you enjoy this figure as much as we do!"Check out more images of their custom below in our GALLERY!If you would like to submit your own custom figure(s) to be displayed on JediInsider.com, be sure to check out ourCustom Forum section, where you can discuss and show off your work among other customizers.

Black Series Heir To The Empire FiguresByColin Hobbs

Lando Calrissian (Star Wars Rebels)painted byElias (Customs For The Kid)"We recently received the HasLab - Ghost on our front step, and ever since, Star Wars Rebels has been on our minds. The Star Wars Rebels 3.75 inch offerings were slim, so weve been doing our best to fill the collection out. Our friend Angry Raccoon Miniatures created a beautiful Lando Calrissian sculpt and were big Lando fans, so we needed to have him represented on our shelf.Dad took advantage of the holiday weekend and helped me out with creating a post for the blog. Dad purchased this model a while back with hopes of adding it to my shelf, but a busy work schedule prevented him from painting up a lot of Angry Racoon Minatures models we have sitting in a drawer waiting for paint. We have quite a lot to get to still. I grabbed a model too but mine has a ways to go still. Dad came just short of finishing this figure so I hopped in at the last minute and painted the eyes, white lines on the shirt and did minor touchups in one or two spots where the paint went rogue.We highly recommend picking these up. These action figures are as simple as trim, assemble, and paint!"Check out more images of their custom below in our GALLERY!
