OUTER RIM TRADERS

Outer Rim Traders is a new casting storefront that customizers and diorama builders should take notice of. This site will be of particular interest to people with a Jabba Palace focus.  The store contains some casts of props that can do a great deal to enhance your Jabba displays from Tauntaun heads to fruit in a bowl.  Casts are available in both the 1:12 and 1:18 scale.  We highly recommend giving this store a view.  Not only do they have great pieces for fans of Star Wars, but there is plenty available for followers of the Indiana Jones films as well.  Outer Rim Traders has plenty for everyone!

"CUSTOMIZING THE CLONE WARS" - EPISODE 40

Celebration Anaheim featured Clone Wars custom action figure artists, Peak-OB1 Custom Creations & Darth Daddy of "Customs for the Kid" display some more Clone Wars custom action figures as they continue to recreate Season 3 of The Clone Wars TV series by making characters from the episode "Assassin".

"STOVEPIPE DROID" created by ELIAS

This custom was made from a resin cast figure produced by Hole In The Ground Productions that Elias had received as a gift for Christmas.  This past weekend, Elias took the time to add a custom paint job to the casted figure so he could add the new addition to his Jawa display of his collection here at home.  He painted it with Citadel's Chainmail, Mithril Silver and Gunmetal paints.  To get the rust effect, he sprayed the figure with Testors Dullcote Spray, sprinkled some Cinnamon onto the figure from our spice drawer, and then recoated the figure a second time with the Dullcote to lock in the weathered look.

Elias saw some hosing in a still shot we screen grabbed from the film that he wanted to add to the cast.  He found a skinny black hose from our fodder and used some wiring from a twisty tie to position the hose in the desired position before gluing it into place.

We really love Hole In The Ground Productions offerings as of late.  They have really enhanced the look of our collection shelves.  We highly recommend checking out their webstore to see if there is anything you see to add to your own collections.

"CUSTOMS FOR THE KID" GETS A BOOST IN VIEWS FROM THEIR AUDIENCE

For the last two months Customs for the Kid has had a huge jump in viewership.  Previously we had big increases after being featured at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in the Star Wars: Custom Action Figure Panel, and later when The Force Awakens was released in theaters.  It looks like the release of Rogue One in December gave the blog another shot in the arm that continued through January. So far we are still getting over a 1,000 views a day for the month of February having us question if the amount of visitations we have been getting will be our new "normal". Regardless, we can't thank you enough for all your patronage, and we hope we can hold your interest in what we continue to do here.

"Customs for the Kid" has been read in more than 120 countries throughout the world.
