So JKnox33, do you mind sharing more about how you spliced the Lanard and Final Faction parts? My limited experience with a modern Lanard figure or two is that the torso was hard plastic and the arms and legs were softer. Which one did you use? And how hard is the plastic on the FF figures to cut and dremel? Thanks

Sure! I actually dremeled down the chest on the Lanard figure and took the chest piece off the Final Faction figure and glued it on and put greenstuff on it to look fairly seamless. The mechanical arm initially was just from the elbow down but really liked the whole arm so I cut the Lanard arm at the shoulder and dremeled the Final Faction arm hollowing out the shoulder pad and glued them together. I also added a Lanard joint to attach the lower arm.

The Final Faction plastic is hard in the chest and softer limbs. Fairly easy to dremel out and work with. I think the line is really great and love using it as fodder. I’ll attach some WIP pics to show the process.

Hey, very helpful description, especially with the WIP pictures. It helps me see all the hard work you put into this.

I also looked at some of your past posts where you’ve modified Lanard figures. You have a knack for making cheap action figures look great by articulating them and painting them up. Kuddos! I can tell you have a lot of fun with it.

Thank you! I do have a lot of fun with it in whatever spare time I have. I don’t know how some customizers (who are much more skilled than me) can take $30-$40 figures and customize them. I’d be to afraid I’d break it and not finish the custom. I’ve got much admiration for them. For me, wh cheaper lines, I’m able to have access to several cheap parts even when I mess up. Lol

When most customizing these days is simply painting Marauder kits/figures, I love to see a custom that involves chopping, glueing, and finessing.

Amazing stuff.

Thanks so much! That’s really my version of customizing. I like taking things and creating my own thing and “uncovering” it’s potential as something completely different.
