Hey guys, here a quick parts list that hopefully will cover any questions.

ROTS - Luminara Unduli torso sanded down quite a bit
POTF - Ceremony Leia arms, hair bun
Saga - Leia in Boussh head (which is awfully small, and kinda childlike)
POTC - Rabe' legs  just boiled and popped out, and doesn't really affect the original figure, other than making a bit more prone to tipping over.

The visor is simply a carefully cut piece from a notebook insert.  It's very thin plastic which makes it easier to work with.

And finally the belt is just a random belt piece from some roman/greek figure

Thanks for the compliments.  I too, think that this figure will eventually be made, but with the knee pad -that forms the bodice of her dress, it was too tempting to not work on it now.

Quazar - I like your suggestion ---- I may paint it a gloss black, or maybe even just use a clear gloss to give it a more leathery look.  Thanks!

Thanks  ;)

Fritz - here's a quick rundown of the parts used:

ROTS - Plo Koon head x2, neck post, hands
ROTS - Pilot Obi Wan Arms
Saga - Imperial dignitary collar
Saga - Capt. Typho tunic/skirt

And of course the legs and torso of the firespeeder pilot.

As for the hood and cloak, it's a ROTS Emperor hood, cut open on the front (the little clasp), and the 500th Vader cape.  To make the hood fit right, I had to cut down the extra head a bit in the back, but the hood actually is sculpted as to look like it would be fitting over his natural contours.  Since it's a ball joint head, it makes for an easy swap to put the hood/robe on.

Outrider - thanks for the kind feedback in all the threads, it's much appreciated.

I do like to make my figures span across the Star Wars time periods as much as I can - and of course, it always helps to be inspired by so many other great customs on the boards.

Thanks for the compliments guys.  These were quite nice to take a break from a true custom, and just paint and "battle damage" the figures that were pretty good sculpts to begin with.

Here's a little something I came up with after seeing sketches for Alderann Civilians from the ROTS sketchbook.  I thought, what would Leia have looked like growing up, before her senatorial start?  Here's what I came up with:

Here's one of my fav customs tha I've made as of late.  i was inspired by the ROTS Sketchbook to make a more rugged looking Jedi.  Hope ya'll like him.

Another great figure JB. I really like this one. If i didnt think they would make her as soon as i finihed, i would have made her a long time ago.
Great use of homestead padme.

Actually need to correct you on this one - it's not the homestead Padme.

Her head is the ROTS version, with the headband added in, and repainted her makeup, eyeshadow, etc.

The upper torso is from a POTJ slave Leia.

The skirt is a ROTS emperor skirt thing, dremeled and shaped WAY down, and then wrapped in 3 different layers of lace, which I then sealed with super glue to get the black and white pattern of her dress.

Finally, the torso cover is the knee pad from some wrestling figure I ran across, and a piece of ribbon for the, er, ribbon coming down from her neck.

Very cool, i like the silver plating, what did you use?  Ayya Vida and what else?


Thanks Glassman...

You're correct on the Ayya Vida body.  Though I cut down her hip joint, to make her not be quite so wide-stanced.  Because of this, the back, or rather her backend looked a a little wierd, so I "installed" an Aayla Secura backend.    ::)

For the silver plating I used aluminum tape, cut in very small and specific pieces to fit over the contour of the body, and to look like panels.  I finally used silver paint to give it a bit of a wash, and to fill in at the joints.

Thanks again!

EDIT:  One thing i forgot to mention was the use of Aayla Secura feet.  Easy to put in, just boil and pop, and very carefully drill some holes in Ayy Vida's ankles.  For her head, it's an Adi Gallia head, with face kinda shaved off, and her head dress trimmed off.

Star Wars Action Figures / Freezia Brandosha: Clone Wars padawan
« on: July 17, 2006, 07:22 PM »
The Clone Wars have stressed the Jedi Order, spreading their lines thin across the galaxy.  Unfortunately, Padawan learners are often forced into service, apart from their masters, to lead battalions of clonetrropers.

Though strong in the force, Freezia has been equipped with clone armour, and a Republic rebreather for the toxic atmosphere of the Swaddle forests on the moon of Norcron. 

Here's the pics:

Here's a nice custom using the POTC Elizabeth Swann figure as a base.  I used VOTC Han Solo arms, endor trooper helmet, belt and vest - cut down, repainted Aayla Secura face and Eeth Koth hair.   8)

  Here's a smuggler based off of a GIJOE Scarlett.  I added the cloth skirt because I wanted to keep the hip joint look of GI Joes apart from the Star Wars look, and Adi Gallia arms. Let me know what you think. 8)

Star Wars Action Figures / A few decent repaints/swaps
« on: July 17, 2006, 07:02 PM »
Here's a few repaints that turned out quite well:

Snooklawa the wookiee  He's big, he's bad, and..... old  This guy turned out pretty well I think. I tried to make him a 'silverback.'




Next up is a fairly easy swap of the ROTS pilot Kenobi, and the battlepack head, hands and boots, along with ROTS Agen Kolar legs:




A beat-up protocol droid, C2-KO is a multi-layered repaint of the OTC/HOF rerelease:



Finally, Grievous's guards, who were somewhat patterned off those in the ROTS sketchbook.  My brother did the one on the left with the blastshots marks, and I did the slashed one.

Here's my version of padme when Anakin confesses how tortured he has become.

It turned out pretty well, but the pictures are a bit fuzzy.




To further express his feelings, Annie does the "jedi slide" singing "I wish I could wish"



Which, apparently doesn't impress....

I've been busy the past couple of months, and here's the first two figures of a few new ones I've made. 

The first is Lando in another outfit, in which he's "dressed to impress." :P

Of course, he needed a cumberbund to dress it up a little. 
Also, to make a deal, and to impress his get-together, Lando invested in an  old-republic relic, a female servant droid to serve drinks at his little party.

Let me know what you think of them!
