JUSTIN COOK aka CHEWIE VIDEO UPDATED in "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"


Justin Cook, who is also known in the Yakface Forums as Chewie is by far one of the most talented customizers out there. He is an administrator over at Yakface Forums and he oversees the custom creations part of the forum. He is also the creator of "The Enloe Chronicles" which is probably known to be the most famous Star Wars photonovels there is. He has such an incredible body of work. His paint application is truly inspirational and he is probably the most generous customizer when it comes to providing his fans with the recipes for every figure he makes.

Mercury Art Studios VIDEO UPDATED in "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"

Mercury Art Studios does a little bit of everything in all scale, has been a Star Wars fan for years, and has also been customizing Star Wars action figures for years as well!. Last week he asked if we could update his video and we were more than happy to oblige!
This 27 year old from Georgia is one cool customizer! We've loved his customs ever since we first saw them and his Sith are just amazing. He recommends all of you enter the website's latest custom figure contest as well.

StarWarsGeek ADDED TO "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"

StarWarsGeek has been making custom items for the past 20+ years, and isn't afraid to branch out into other territories, whether it be for a part, or for inspiration. He's made figures and vehicles from Star Wars, GI Joe, Marvel Universe, Video Games and other properties as well. He also does minibusts, statues/maquettes, and even a prop or two from time to time. Currently accepting commissions, you can contact him at his website (http://www.starwarsgeek.net) or via any of the social networking sites listed at his site

The Animoto video application Dad uses kept cutting off the heads of the action figures in the photos we had of StarWarsGeek's work. It was driving Dad crazy. Dad has the same problem when he tries to make videos of our customs. It's because Dad and StarWarsGeek use customized framing in their pictures. Dad had to manually reframe the photos to make sure the best parts of the figures were emphasized. Unfortunately Dad lost some of the lettering on some photos to save the heads. Dad was really bummed about it because StarWarsGeek does such a stellar job when it comes to presenting his work.
