TOGRUTA created by ELIAS

To create this figure, I just placed a Clone Wars Shaak Ti head on the body of a Legacy Leesub Sirln.  I painted the clothing on the torso black and the face to match the base figure's skin tone.  Everything else I kept the same.  Oh yeah, I also blackened out the ankle joints.

BITH ENDOR REBEL SOLDIER created by Darth Daddy

After Dad finished making me an Ithorian Rebel Soldier, Dad wanted to create a few more alien Endor Rebel soldiers. Dad saw a cool dark skinned Bith action figure created a few years ago by Von Reinhardt Customs.  Ever since Dad saw the figure, he wanted to do a variation on the theme.  When Dad went to create a new Endor Rebel soldier, he felt the time had come to make one.  To make this figure, Dad used a Bith head cast that was created by Sithhappens, and placed it on a G.I. Joe Renegades Ripcord action figure.  Then Dad just repainted the figure.  

I really like what Dad has been making lately and I can't wait to see what he does next.

Peak-OB1's Video Updated on the "Customs I Wish I Owned" Page



  
Chad Peak (aka: Peakob1 or CAP) has been a Star Wars fan all his life. He makes customs for the love of the hobby and you won't find a more dedicated fan. He hopes one day that he can have an entire custom collection personalized to him. He never seeks financial gain by doing his customs, although Peakob1 has done a few commissions at reasonable prices. He started customizing in '95. He doesn't count some of the vintage Ewoks that he colored over with black and brown markers as a kid.

Peakob1 refers to his style of customizing as "hard sculpting" opposed to using sculpy to mold his own figures. He uses bits of existing parts and dremels those down to make a new result. He believes that it makes for a much stronger figure because he's a little like Jar Jar, "hesa clumsy" and often drops figures. Usually they don't break if he builds them properly. He finds customizing very exciting and he has many projects on the horizon. Hope you enjoy his customs!

He displays his customs on Yakface, Droids and Ewoks, and Jedi Defender.
