    Baltar, Boomer & Tigh - My first painted heads!

    I have sewn some stuff before and taken other figures and given them new cloths, but this is the first time I have painted myself. I'm very happy with my first go around. Details for each:

    Baltar - This is a repainted Adama head. Boots, gloves, belt, and uni are from Doc Mego. The tunic I got from doc was a bit shorter than I wanted, so I sewed the one on him seen here and used a sharpie for the black trim. The white ascot is a bit of collar from an old t-shirt.

    Colonel Tigh - Doc Mego AJ head, Doc Mego Body and BBP outfit





    It's all good!

    Actually, that head looks more like John Colicos than Lorne Greene. Nice work!

            Great job! Tigh is a great match to the actor. I've been putting together my own scratch customs to finish my Galactica line as well so I'll definitely go that route on Tigh. Great work!

              I like your Baltar custom, he's spot-on with the actor. Nice work!

                      Only a few days in and we've already got a contender for custom of the year. Really nice, great artistic vision to see those parts and heads the way you envisioned them and then totally make them work perfectly.
                      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                        Very cool. I am a big fan of re-purposing sculpts. And that is a heckuva transformation on Baltar... it looks just like him.

                            Thanks everyone. I am very appreciative. Hopefully I will get time to create more. I was on winter break from work and much needed time off. I had had that concept in my head for those guys for months before Xmas came along. Unfortunately Jan 5th was back to the grind.
                            It's all good!
