Thanks guys. Aside of these I did some Joe Canuck character customs that are in seperate threads. I'll put pictures of them here, but I'm waiting to complete my next custom (already begun) based on Joe Canuck's Shiver and inspired directly from NeoDragonKnights' 25th transalation design. So stay tuned.
And as for the Cantina band members, I used 5x Tarkin POTF2 figures that I cut off at the waist and took Gentle Giant's Cantina band members mini-busts, and hot glued them altogether. With some final black paint touchups, these took about 30 minutes to create! Basically you can separate the figures and recuperate the mini-busts again if you don't need the figures anymore, which is pretty neat.
The Big Lob was my first contest entry ever for any contest. I actually did it for the custom contest at the 2007 Canadian GI JOE annual Meet. I didn't win the contest ( the winner was a cool looking Ice Breaker custom ) but I won my pride to show it off. I even did a professional looking filecard and artwork for the event, but I was asked to leave it out of the contest by the organizers, due to other participants not creating artwork, which I found kind of unfair at the time, but found totally understable now since the odds were all even this way.
