Title: Jodo Kast (UPDATED WITH NEW PICS 7/14/06)
Post by: Maxxsium on July 13, 2006, 11:34 PM

Based on the Jodo Kast seen in "Twin Engines of Destruction". Figure was made using a VOTC Boba Fett, epoxy putty, and some spare parts I had laying around. The rifle may seem a bit off but I wanted to match it to the comic book. As always, comments are appreciated.

Woo Hoo!! First post. ;D

Anyway This looks dead on. I actually have that book myself, you nailed it. Excellent work. The belt accoutrements are very cool. Exactly what did you use?

Looks great!
Sad... I never even knew about that comic... Though I left the comic scene back in 95, so that would be why...
I remember Jodo Kast from the old school West End Games D6 version of the Star Wars RPG... first appearance "Tatooine Manhunt" game module...

I agree, clean job mate. Very nice mods ad good paint apps. And a great pose you put the 2 figures in.

Thanks for the comments. The belt was made using some spare parts that came with one of those ultimate soldier figures (the pouches) and some epoxy putty for the rest.

Excellent Jodo Kast, your are one of the few people to capture the essence and look of the character with great detail. Your Jango and Boba fett are well executed.
