The IC Star Wars Bootlegs and Customs Highlighted Customizer of the week #2 is Marsha Parkins. I have been doing customs ever since 1978 really when the toys first came out, I would swap capes and weapons with other figures and add parts from lego etc and then film them in the back garden with a 8mmm cine camera, some ending in a fiery death or exploded with fireworks, I was 7 years old and a bit

of a tomboy to say the least, my Father was a model builder and taught me many things and inspired me into the world of miniatures from railroads, doll houses and model kits to the world of Star Wars where I am still "playing" with custom figures only now at a high level of quality and craftsmanship . To pick one I am most proud of is inherently difficult for me as I can't make my mind up on many things not least of which is choosing favorites, I think Hammerhead bounty hunter even though he is not finished because he is straight from the imagination whereas other customs I have done have been from movie scenes and I try to make them as screen accurate as possible, Hammerhead bounty hunter allows me a lot of creative freedom so I'm proud of him the most . I got into customs as an adult because I had a lot of beater spares and saw a good Boba Fett sold online and thought " hey I should do this, I would be so much better then when I was a child messing about, I have 30 years model building experience now and I bet myself I could make customs at a level most people may not have seen before and I strive for that to this day, to make customs that blow minds .

After removing all the mold lines and burs it went together quickly but not without some issues , the hinges and energy binder sockets needed some carving out before the two engines halves went together tightly . It's pre pained but nonetheless I scrapped off what I needed for fit and mold line removal it will get a paint application at the end anyway , first off I used panel line accent from Tamiya all over one engine and left the other untouched for some comparison pictures and it's easy to see already how much better it looks with such a basic effect

Like the proto probe, this droid is made and designed from failed 3d print parts, with additions of die cut card waste and a pizza box lid support, otherwise kown as the barbie picnic table , nothing wasted here, all is useful, with a little imagination and some resources of saved rubbish bits of plastic and and ala blue Peter lol.
Maybe this droid is a mobile moisture evaporation unit
