Re: Master Phruby's Customs Thread - Update Corran Horn & Whister (1/20/06)

Thanks guys. I modeled Horn after the one Craig Mullan and Glassman did. Whistler was based on a Dan Curto version.

Ya, the lines were painful. The way I did it was to make a custom decale. Then I wrapped a 5 inch and 4 inch decale around the head. The problem is working with something that long and thin is very hard to control. I probably should have cut it in smaller pieces and placed them.

Besides, there is no such thing as an Rykrof head.

You take that back, right now Mister!

That's a good use of the old Ki Adi Mundi body Phruby.  The best I think though is his droid.

I might eventually try and make this figure too, but if I do I will probably use the ROTS Ki Adi Mundi body, and a Rykrof head.   ;)

Ya know, if you carded that Rykrof figure, you could probably sell it as an actual Hasbro toy since SOME of us believe there really is such a character.  8)

It would make a great April fools day joke if it posted as an real figure on JD's home page. RS would probably fall for it since they steel articles from everywhere.

I've thought about making something and asking Glassman how much he would charge to card it for me... might be a fun little project.

Cool Corran Horn and Whistler.  I never read that particular SW book, so I'm only vaguely familiar with the characters. 
I really like the paint apps on the droid - I love astromech repaints (they were my first SW customs) and it's always cool to see very unique designs such as Whistler.  It looks like you matched the paint color pretty well.

I don't particularly like the Ki-Adi body, now that we have so many good ROTS jedi bodies, but I can definitely understand wanting to clear out some older custom fodder  ;)
The scariest thing that I've ever seen,
Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.
It's as big as a house on walking legs,
and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

Thanks. The microlady neck post is just a ball and a stick. I cut off the stick and glued the ball to the buttom of the Leia head. The ball then goes back in its slot on the upper part of the body. I hide the connection with the chain.

Good to see all these together at once again Phruby.  I love the Leia and the Padme and of course Rykrof.  I think the best work is the Padme out of those.
