Almost done with my first real custom set!
This was a lot more fun than I ever expected. I think I've found another useless hobby.
Not much custom about the trooper figure, but all his accessory (gun, mask, shoulderbag) is custom, and I made his whole hoverbike.
It has a fork with a spring-grip on the front, so you can remove the basket and load something else there. The handle on the side can be revolved up and down and the canister on the back hangs by a rubber strap, but is also secured with a small carabin hook via a rubber spring to the seat. Also, the number sign on the back is removable, and I've got many spares - so you could write whatever on them. The rubber on the steering sticks stick very well to the plastic of the figure's hands, and one hand connected is enough to keep the guy fairly securely in place. Oh, and to either side of the front of the bike there is a slot for a single small screwdriver (one flat and one star-shaped).
I guess it might not look like much, but I had a lot of fun making it and I'm pretty pleased with the result.
