Mandolorian III
Those Imperial commandos are VERY impressive customs and an excellent start, but I do think they could use a little more. I don't know, they're just too white and plain, maybe give each one its own unique paintjob, like the Delta Squad. I'll be interested in seeing your progress!
The Palpatines are also very good, are the sitting and standing Palpatines the same custom in different positions?
For the helmet, I made 2 casts of the POTF2 biker helmet using my hollow helmet technique. I then cut one helmet in 4 quarters.
THen cut sections (like thin stips) of the other and used them to extend the origianl.
I then used wax to fill in the areas and sculpt a longer mouthpiece.
I'll forgot to upload the wip pic of the helmet. I'll try to get them up tonight.
Welcome Pj (pajamas! JK), i really like the duel between Anakin and Obi. What did you use for that platform that Anakin's on?
I don't know about this one. To me, he seems to be in a very unnatural pose. I mean try sitting in an upright chair with both hands on the arm rests and have you legs in the air. It's not an easy position to hold. Basically, he has his back set firmly against the chair but has his legs up in the air without support. It would seem better if his legs were shorten and made to have his feet on the ground.
The arms and body and head are alot better than the first attempt but in the first attempt you got the legs positioned better. I don't think its quite there yet.
This is a great display piece, very professional looking. I remember seeing your original version and admiring it. This version is even better and really comes to life. What a great addition this would be for Hasbro to offer it.
That is an incredible looking piece. I'm amazed at how well an Unleashed base fits in with the 3 3/4 scale pieces. I still don't see how you got the character to "sit" with the hard plastic/rubber pieces. I'm going to have to go over your recipe again. Very nice!!
Another thing I like about this is the large lightsaber handle. For some reason that strikes me as being very cool and gives him even more character.
Great custom and I'm glad you showed it here. It totally reminds me of Malak, I bought that Croc Master figure a few months back specifinally to make a Malak custom someday.
I do prefer your design over the Malak design though! Excellent execution. A bit of dry brushing might make it look even more real.
WOW!
Awesome! Very imaginative. I love it.
And the best part - I have all of those pieces in my custom fodder drawer!!!!
I may just rip off this idea (only problem is I can't paint to save my life...)
What is the emblem on top of the V piece, though? That's not from Xyber 9!
