Yes, I know that the original Star Wars Expanded Universe has been relegated to “Legends” status, but many of us will always have a soft spot for some of those characters. Particularly the characters that Timothy Zahn dreamed up for the Heir to the Empire novel! So of course, I just had to make vintage-styled Kenner-esque figures of Mara Jade…

Just a quick update to let everyone know that I have a little YouTube channel now. Check it out HERE! I don’t have a set schedule in mind for how often I’ll release videos – it will really just depend upon how much time I have on any given week. But you can expect tours of my workshop, tips and…

The original Kenner run of Star Wars action figures included 11 figures based on the alien goons that hung out with Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine, not including the rebels in disguise (or the torture droids!). But was that really enough? Not for me, or for all my fellow customizers who kept asking for more! So below you will find…

Along with “How should I paint these figures?” the most common question I get is “How should I print your files?” There are a million good guides and tutorials out there to get you up to speed on the various methods and techniques for 3d printing, so I’m not going to rehash that stuff. BUT! I’m happy to share some…
