This man is gathering the best star wars customs like they are the infinity stones, amazing job, I also use the hot toys figures for reference a lot, even for small repaints or weathering
You and others always inspire me to keep sculpting and one day release my own customs for sale. Right now I’m currently working on a rogue one stormtrooper helmet based on lithophane reference it’s at 50% completion. I’m trying to hurry up and finish but for me it’s hard to do on Nomad. I’d show you it so you understand but this is RUclips. I even have plan for a clone head too
Again an outstanding piece. I think I will transform my Bandai Model Kit Din Djarin, as, other than the Boba from the same line, I was a little unhappy with him. So he is still lying in his box, which is a shame. However, I think I can pull off the jumpsuit and flakvest myself, as I have plenty of thin fabric lying around. You might have opened an entire new wormhole of an aspect of the hobby for me. Thank you so much for this.
Wow, I'm happy that I opened up the wormhole. If you're able to make your own jumpsuit and vest that gives you so much more flexibility. let me know how it goes!
I was thinking about doing this also, but the model kit pieces look a little too big for the draw man imo. I might try it with a marvel legends or something. Draw man is about as big as a mafex and the kit stands slightly taller and wider. But maybe setting the height with the boots and the bulk from the clothes will offset this.
Hey man, it’s amazing and I’ve been a big fan since the show came out but only bought black series figures from the show! If you can or ever will please make a spare to sell! I’ll buy it for sure
Glad you appreciated the video and custom figure. It's definitely a labour of love but you end up with a nice one-of-a-kind figure. I'm working on a S1 version now but I don't think I'll ever make them for sale. It's simply too much time/work.
Damn, I just made one of my own literally just finished working on it, I used the ban dai model kit for the armour bits and helmet, using a lightning collection Andros as base body, vinil fake leather for all the straps , covered the armour in aluminium tape so it's actual metal now and the final piece I had to wait on was the din djarin morak head oh and of course I swon the suit myself, didn't have brown fabric so I had to dye gray fabric brown using diluted shoe polish and the jetpack is held via magnet
@@southp2470 not really , but I did just paint the shoulders cause I couldn't get the logo to pop out right with the tape, I used a silicone sculpting tool with a flat head to rub it on so it wouldnt lose the detail
Cool man, just found your channel! Working on a custom Mando for a friend… his own cosplay character… And I was already leaning towards a similar build method, really cool video! I made a custom warrior Jawa who wears some storm trooper armor prices and I used one of those 6 inch cheap dollar store Stormtroopers and dremeled out the armor over soft goods… turned out pretty good!
Before I get my jumpsuit I have a few questions they have a female one and a muscular one and a joker one on gps lot wit h should I get size wise it's my only options he has
The MAFEX figure on it's own is great. But at the same time it's also stuck in that S1 look. The different in articulation from MAFEX to Drawman is not drastic, but hiding the joints and making it look 10% more lifelike is worth the effort.
@@southp2470 Hey man, Im looking for jumpsuits on gpslot, which one specifically did you use and are come of the ones, such as the "muscular body" ones going to be too big?
@@michaelpolanski3208 The muscular one is going to be way too big. There should be an orange "prison" one or a blue "Joker" one that can be dyed brown.
It looks like hot glue in the head. How Did you get the head to fit on the Peg? I'm working on a Scarlet Spider custom and printed a head that has no ball socket. Thanks and well done!
If you put Vaseline on the ball peg and then fill the head with hot glue it will create a socket without sticking to the ball. Plus if you get it right the head would still be removable.
Not sure what it’s called but it’s almost like a cylinder drill bit but no sharp point. That way it doesn’t dig too far into the body and ruin the articulation.
They run a little smaller than Mezco and much less muscular (even than the Joker body). The actual height of course can be established when you attach the shins to the boots. Oh and also the articulation is better than mezco!
Those are often out of stock but you can find an orange version, and a blue joker one like this: www.ebay.ca/itm/333238807057?hash=item4d9694aa11:g:BtEAAOSwk4Ji1ysO&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwB2%2BWKyZVXwgx%2BGssSN5%2FywLPYsa3LFeDAr9kO9%2FhVDKOXqkM7ngnN674bjqMtK68qu1qfxgT426u%2FZnKYGOFJUEtrhL9B%2BbcFE%2B%2BwaiJTmWfNYld%2FNOV25C4VyvHnX%2BtZBptEneAYcaJf0Nq20x0CwBaGeH0KE2UR4cx4k2MWmwFtqnfdOCxsDDZFFudFj%2BWLyXWtkcLLZDpxHQeH45KYtsJrl%2BJb4T4qWg9C%2FwmmfSz3T8knHXkru4YfGnz4HpVA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8Du-9X9YQ
So to do the graphite my man u need to spry krylon all surface black gloss spray paint then u wan let it sit then rub an buff the graphite on then spray it with Mr super clear Matt let that dry then do the floor polish dip method it comes out crisp
I was thinking about doing this earlier and found this video so I’m 100% gonna do it now. How did you get the belt back on btw did you cut it or slide it on from the legs?

It’s very frustrating with shipping to Canada. If you buy several items from GPSlot you can send them a DM and they will refund the combined shipping rate. I’ve done that with them several times. I’ve also had luck on Amazon Canada searching for 1/12 clothes or try searching For “figlot”.
Hi, I've also made mandalorians with Mezco bodies (most recently the Animated style Boba Fett). It is totally feasible but the articulation is actually not as good, mostly at the elbows and they are also a bit taller than Black Series so the scale can be off. The nice thing is that the joints are usually tight and the figure feels solid. If you aren't going to be doing Toy Photography or crazy posing it would be totally fine going with a slim Mezco body.
Great question. I have yet to find a “blank” female body that I like for these types of projects. I have used the Phicen seamless bodies which have great articulation but they are very busty and not ideal for SW characters.
Hi sorry for delayed response. I think you mean the pant cuffs? I cut them at the right height and then use glue to fold-under the cuffs so it didn't fray. It's better to do that part with the pants insideout.
thats sick bro could you just make me one? lol if i paid for the needed materials like i think i could make it myself but thats an expensive mistake if i screw it up and jesus you made that look easy
You can make just about any head fit if you use Hot Glue to make the socket. Put some greast/vaseline on the ball peg. Fill the head with some hot glue, and then set it on the ball peg until it hardens. With the vaseline it will prevent the glue from sticking so you get full range of motion and can even make the head easily removeable.

My mezco body didn't come with ankle joints, do you know a place I could possibly get some?
I was thinking about doing this earlier and found this video so I’m 100% gonna do it now. How did you get the belt back on btw did you cut it or slide it on from the legs?
It was able to slide up after being heated but I cut it on the shoulder strap. I felt like it needed a bit of length.
I'm new to your content but dude your work is just awesome. I'm atrocious at customs, ever do any commissions?
Thanks i appreciate that. Unfortunately I don’t have time for commissions but thanks for asking.
What glue you use?
Fantastic job!!
Always gorilla gel
Wow!
So in theory, using the same method, I can make a Mezco style scout trooper using Bandai kit and Drawman body right?
Yes
For sure this would work. The Bandai kit or even a dremmelled-out Black Series Scout trooper would work

What dremel and glue are you using? Ive never done stuffs like this. Kinda want to prepare everything before i tried
Would it also be possible to add magnets to the armour, that way it can shift easier when moving the fig?
Nice idea. I’d be worried that they wouldn’t sit still.
Before I get my jumpsuit I have a few questions they have a female one and a muscular one and a joker one on gps lot wit h should I get size wise it's my only options he has
Preferably the joker size. the female one in orange can work too. The muscular one is way too big. All of them will need to be dyed brown.
Awesome we'll now I can double down on the ones ik will work and can get a few in advance for the rest of them
Will 6inch 112scale clothing be ok on 110cale people figures will they be a bit tight on the 110cale figures
Probably won’t fit a 1/10 figure. It’s got to be quite a good fit on it will restrict articulation
Excellent 👏🏼🔥
Thanks
