Looks great!

Though I would be a bit concerned with one of those pit droids assisting with medical work...someone might wake up with new thruster pods!!! (I am not only a pod racer pilot, I am my own pod racer!)

So is X-LOM green from Gardulla slime? (Like what happened to C-3PO?)

Update -

Can anyone guess who I am working on? If you cant figure out the face, the accessory (still WIP) should
be a big clue!







I have come to realize...ears are one of the most difficult things to sculpt to look right...

Looks great! A nice addition of a "corpse trooper" as well!  ;D

Where did you get the background wall and debris from?

289
Curious if you chose the canister that was part of the accessories of the "Pvt. Hugo Wolff" from the C21 Battle of the Bulge. I kept looking at the canister that came with that figure thinking how cool it would be on a clone, and after seeing your figure and reference sketch it was based on, I realized it would have been the perfect size as well!

That is a great concept figure! I never knew about the ESB sketch book.
Did you add a cannister to your figure that is like the one on the belt of the sketched trooper?

291
Really?! I had my doubts as to if it looked much like him. Thanks!
When I mold/cast this, I have some brown pigment to add to the casting resin. If I add just a little bit, it should make the cast look close to Temeura Morrison's skin tone.
After my next head sculpt (It will be a suprise!) I will probably attempt a few female head sculpts, then maybe some aliens.

Good to meet you!
Definitely! (Right now this site is one of the top two I check everyday!)

293
I agree! The stormtrooper forarms are a nice touch. Of couse we could assume the other might have their armored arms covered with cloth, but these two were smart enough to roll up their sleeves to get some air flow in the desert heat!  ;D

294
Alot of it is based on sketches I had made as reference images for my GURPS players for some battle armor in an RPG story arc I was running. (For those that dont know, GURPS means Generic Universal Role-Playing System)
If I had a scanner that worked, I would post the image. I might have one somewhere I drew in windows paint, I will have to look and see.

In a month or two I might be set up enough to take orders for some casts. I am just really low on molding/casting supplies right now and I am still rearranging my limited work area. (I sculpt and paint sitting at my computer desk...actually I do most all my work, except molding/casting at my computer desk...)

EDIT - Update 8-3-06: My first head sculpt!!!

I decided tonight would be the night to start my first actual action figure head sculpt. I have done plenty of helmets, but wanted to try to make the heads that would be wearing the helmets.
I started with a baked sculpey neck peg that was a duplicate of the one on an evolutions clone trooper. This will be my standard format peg size for all my future head sculpts to ensure compatibility between all my (eventual I hope) 100% from scratch action figures. 

This sculpt was suppost to be of Temeura Morrison (Jango Fett, Clones)... Cant say that it turned out necessarily looking like him but it did at least turn out looking human! (That was a releif...)
Let me know what you think!

Quick update before I rush off to work.

Thanks!
I really enjoy it here!

297
That Luke is awesome! That head does help give him the appropriate older look that he would be at the time of being a Jedi Master.

298
Excellent tutorial! Also cool to see those desert troops in the early constructions phase!


299
Very cool! I really like what you did with the combination backpack! Those hoth trooper parts look great with the desert color scheme! Is the holster from a Star Wars figure, C21 figure or custom made?

300
Your customs there got me to actually go buy some of those C21 figures. I wish the Star Wars figures came with as many accessories as most the C21 figures appear to... (I will have to pay more attention to other 3 1/2" figures in the stores from now on.)

Do you have any more desert themed figures on the way? These are great and would love to see more!
Oh and I caught some of your other "dead" customs on another site. Great work on those! Creepy cool..hehe.
