Hey everybody!
I'm finally posting stuff after five years! Yahoo!
Anyway, here are my two entries in the Custom Castle Figure category:

The first one is a custom dwarf made by shaving the ears off of an SW Ewok, and then painting it to look like a person...a very hairy person. haha
Thus, the hooded Dwarf look.

The second one is a custom Elf. It's a bit simpler, but I'm rather proud of it.
I made it using the CW Obi-wan torso mixed with other assorted pieces. I thought it would be cool to imagine the elves making white armor similar to that of a clone trooper, only out of metal.
The sword is made from a LEGO scimitar that I cut up.

Enjoy.
Feedback is always nice. haha

I like the look of the elf-sword. Do you have more pics of it?

What did you use for the dwarf face?

Alan

Thanks!
Um, not at the moment, but I will take more pictures of all my minifigs and I'll make sure to take some of the sword just for you. haha

I just used standard acrylic paint use on model cars and such. You can get it at any hobby store.

Man, I do like that dwarf.
Hunched and beady eyed, yet no doubtly a feared axe welding warrior.
Congrats on now making customs!

Wow the dwarf came out great!

That dwarf is hysterically awesome! I would never have thought that an Ewok could be made into a reasonable dwarf, let alone one that looks that good.

Way to go!

I like the dwarf more than the elf mainly because of the use or the other wise useless part

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like it!
I just had a bunch of extra Ewoks lying around and I wondered if without the ears they might look more human, though still hunched, and they did! haha

I must echo everyone else and say, great work on the dwarf! I’ll have to try it now. *Runs off to find Ewoks*

Amazing piece of work you have there! I am a huge fan of dwarves, and this looks great!

Thanks! I've got a bunch more custom dwarves on my Flickr page (although none of them are as original as the Ewok one) if you are interested.

I'll be sure to check 'em out tomorrow.

That dwarf is awesome, I never would've thought of making one out of an ewok. Great job.

Heehee. yeah,an Ewok would not have been my first thought for a dwarf, but it's a great interpretation!

Great Job,

Thanks everyone, for the kind words!

I'm glad you guys like the dwarf! I was really curious to see what other people would think of it, and now I know!
I guess my first real custom figure was a success! Huzzah!
