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:

We also recommend checking out his "Toy Wars" film series where he brings his action figures and dioramas to life at this link here:

Another great interview with another super talented customizer.  Listen to this interview with Tankster Innovations.  He gives a super cool customizing tip on how you can use a hot glue gun to create some really impressive fire effects.  Check out the links below to see his work (I recommend his Joe albums on Facebook!)

A new chapter of "Tales From The Clone Wars" is nearing completion...

Kualan is teasing us with this image from his upcoming chapter. I wonder if my Trandoshan Jedi is in this new chapter. Click on through to see the latest teaser graphic full size!

H'nemthe Jedi

This H'nemthe Jedi was created with the body of the Vintage Kit Fisto and the head of the M'liyoom. All I had to do was paint the neck post and the hands to get this one done.

Ralph McQuarrie Custom Contest

Imperial Shipyard's next Customs Contest!

Hot off the press, Luke Sprywalker announces the next custom contest: the Ralph McQuarrie Challenge. This one is wide open. You can create a custom figure, vehicle, or dio and as long as it is new work and is inspired by one of Mr. McQuarrie's Concepts (Yes, you need to show the artwork that inspired your custom). You can read the full details in the Contest Thread. We hope this can be a lasting tribute to the man who helped create our most favored hobby.
