Customizer Spotlight: Buried Egg

SPOTLIGHT

Few things in the hobby excite me as much as seeing collectors who know how to display their stuff in massive dioramas, so when forum member Buried Egg shared pics of his Emperor’s Arrival scene, I immediately felt ashamed of my personal pathetic display of this icon scene, and had to share his work with all of you.

It’s stuff like this that inspires me to customize more when I can, and put extra effort into photonovels and the like.  For more of his work and other great dioramas by Yakface forum members, head to the forums.

The hobby may be shifting toward Star Wars Rebels and Episode VII buzz, but all the while, customizers from around the world continue to pump out great custom figures from previously established reference material.

First up, clone custom guru Wraithnine has added some more masterpieces to his Republic forces, which you can check out here.

Peakob1 also gets into the mix, with another outstanding custom in the Clone Wars styling.

We’re also treated to a much more realistic look to Greedo’s vest by customizing master Evilivo, which can be seen in his thread.

Last but certainly not least, soft goods master mousedroidhoojib shares his rendition of a concept version of Padme Amidala.

Check these out, and all the countless other custom figures posted in our forums.

If you’re active in the Yakface customizing forums, you have more than likely been keeping up on the great work of our forum members – but if not, this post is for you, because it means you’re missing out on some great eye candy!

So without further delay, customizer darthcrassus has been very active with new  updates lately, including a fantastic take on Jariah Syn, which you can take a closer look at here.

Next, wraith_nineyak continues to expand his Clone Wars line of clone troopers… if you’re a fan of the animated styling, you will certainly want to check out his latest updates!

We are also treated to a great Clone Wars take on Chancellor Palpatine, courtesy of Elias – which is even more impressive considering he is only 10 years old (great sign of things to come for many years!).

Finally, we also show a great take on a non-Star Wars custom… it’s a Lord of the Rings Ringwraith in the 3.75″ scale from Evilivo!

The Indy Adventures Continue…
