I'm in the process of painting the Vong Warrior seen in my last update and decided to take an image of my progress using the hipstamatic app on my iPhone - then had some photoshop fun and droped in a title :)

I hope to post updates and finished pieces within the next few weeks. Thanks for your continued interest in my work and all the comments and suggestions :)

By the way...Just a quick update on a couple of head sculpts I have finalized for two upcoming figures. Someone mentioned that I should do a Skorr figure (the bounty hunter from Ord Mantell)...well, that was what I was thinking as well...and for awhile too...this head sculpt began years ago but wasn't finalized and refined until the other day.

Also thought I would work on some new Mandalorians - one which I found unique, so unique he is only shown in one panel of the Star Wars Dark Times comics book...an Advozse Mandalorian (no name given) sent to hunt for Dass Jennir. Headsculpt is complete...

Almost 2 months since my last update? Well...things have been a bit hectic since a week or two before Celebration 5. A family loss, rennovations to the house...some good, some bad - but finally back on track - sorry for my absence. Though I've been able to post updates to my facebook page, Flickr and my blog - I hope to get more consistent in my postings on the boards. Anyway - I have returned to working on Metal Gear Solid figures :) Been almost a year since I tabled them to persue other projects...

My latest blog update (with images) can be found here..

Absolutely amazing! By far the most inspirational work I have ever seen! I have been a follower of your blog for some time and your work has given me the inspiration I needed to push my own sculpting to new levels! I can't get enough of your work!

[Stronox]

Absolutely beautiful work here!!

[speedleescustoms]

OMG ! friggin nice ! :D

[zartanman]

WOW man. Nice work. Do you sculpt over existing figures or is everything scratch? You use Apoxie Sculpt?

[hangarbay94]

Sith fire, everything abou your customs goes beyond anything I've seen before. From your stunning images to the precisision of the paintwork and the amazingly creative customs, your work really stands out.

Please give us an insight into how you got so good? are you an artist by profession?

[hemblecreations]

Your sculpting skill are next to known, always love checking your blog to see what other awesome work you are doing.

[Rosedale]

Some of the nicest Star Wars customs I have ever seen!

[Solrac333]

HOLY SHIT! I have no idea how I missed these. They are AWESOME!!!

I would love to see what you do with the Cyborg Darth Maul.

[sith_fire30]

WOW man. Nice work. Do you sculpt over existing figures or is everything scratch? You use Apoxie Sculpt?

Zartan - I create a "skeleton" from a manjorie of figure parts brought together to give me the articulation require. The skeleton is created by "dremeling down" the form till it resembles a bare frame..similar to how a Master Grade Gundam Model works...you build the articluated frame then add the armor. I add the sculpt to my articulated frame.

Hangar - Dude, thanks for the comments - I do work in the art profession as an Art Director for a Manufacuring company. I work mainly in graphic and industrial design. I've had classical training in sculpture and worked in large scale pieces many years ago...but today, the sculpt work I do is in the 1:18 scale..and is an enjoyable hobby.

[sith_fire30]

Hey guys, thought I better bring this thread up to date and reply to a few questions that were asked. Sorry for the delay in getting back with anyone - Some of you that visit rebelscum or Yakface forums, my Flickr photostream or Sith_fire30 Creations have seen most, if not all the work I have updated today...some of you may have not. I will post more frequently in the future :) Always, any comments and suggestions welcome...

[Altitron]

Amazing works of art, sir!

Ever thought of doing an HK-47?

- Alty

[JaZzMan26]

simply awesome work...no other words to discribe it. I have not seen sculpting talent like yours before.

[Sculpt-bot]

I have come to check out this thread so many times, and everytime, I must spend like an hour looking at this stuff. Absolutely beautiful. Very clean, and perfectly executed!

[Rojuno]

These are the most amazing figures I've seen. You are a master of your trade.

[sith_fire30]
