Qirassh Female

To create this action figure, we used the Clone Wars Padme Amidala in Adventure Gear body and the head of a Leesub Sirln head that Dad modified with Apoxie Sculpt to give her a different hairstyle.  Every now and again the Leesub Sirln action figure can be found at clearance at Toys R' Us.  Since female action figure bodies are hard to come by, we always try and grab as many as we can.  Dad had me practice painting on this figure and then he added the finishing touches to complete the figure.

CAFN Episode 34: Sillof Innovations Interview

CAFN Episode 34

CAFN had a blast talking with Jamie of Sillof's custom's. Sillof is a guy who loves the hobby and has had a great deal of experience in it. He has been working on figures since the 90's!  He will be leading a customizing panel at Celebration VI with Sith_fire30 and Luke Sprywalker.  I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that one!

Listen up and get all the details.

You can see custom action figures created by Sillof here:
