CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #22: STRONOX

On Saturday, when Dad ran down to the mailbox, he came back into the house with a gift from one of my all-time favorite customizers, Stronox. When Dad first started customizing, one of the first friends that he made in the community was Stronox, who has some of the best customs in the Star Wars galaxy. If you ask anyone who frequents the customizing forums who their top ten favorite customizers are, I bet you Stronox would be on everybody's lists. His paint applications are out of this world and his attention to detail is second to none. He started off creating toys for his son and this later led to a lot of commission work from fans. Lately he has taken a break from commissions to work on more personal projects, so anyone that has a toy created by Stronox is extremely lucky to have one. When he first started creating customs, his work was predominantly Star Wars characters, but his most recent work features more G.I. Joe, popular super heroes, and a customizer line called Desolation.

I was always a huge fan of Stronox's version of Vilmarh Grahrk, so getting a super-articulated Villie created by him was about as cool as it gets. Thanks so much Rob! He's awesome!

Frank Diorio's Diorama Workshop Week in Review : August 12 2012

JEDI STARFIGHTER COLLECTION

Today's play was centered around space battles, and since I had all of my Jedi Starfighters out, I figured fit would be the perfect time to show you all the collection.

Jedi Starfighter Collection

Don't forget how easy it is to create generic Jedi Starfighters by switching out the side panels.

 

 You can easily switch the fronts on the Clone War Starfighters for some diversity too.

 This works great to create Starfighters for your custom Jedi action figures.

Star Wars Custums

So, not too long ago, I made a friend on Facebook...another young customizer like myself.  He asked if we could promote his Facebook  page, and Youtube  channel, and we were more than happy to spread the word.  Check out the work of Christopher Yanak with a video of his work that Dad put together.  Be sure to like his page and check out his reviews too.

Trandoshan Mercenary

Dad grabbed a Bossk action figure and a Vintage Dengar action figure to create this figure.  He took the head, lower arms, and lower legs of the Bossk, the upper arms, upper legs, and torso of the Dengar and fit them to create this custom action figure.  Unfortunately, he isn't sure where all the accessories came from.
