Great Googely-Moogely! The detail on the helmet kicks @$$! Gotta go watch this again. Love the action stance!

Glassman,
Excellent job on the animation style. It's the cardbacks that make these pop IMO. I am a die hard opener, but those cards and customs are kewl. That Shock Trooper looks mean ( and I like mean looks
)

Excellent work there Chewie.
On the issue of figure display, I went to the smaller diorama scenes, also. I got a pretty good deal from Big Lots on those CD towers, slapped 7 of them side by side and wa-la; instant mini diorama. Of course, with that, is the overjoyed task of doing 49 mini-dios
(when I am not cussing on the Falcon project for the photonovel). I am such an OCD Narcissist.

Customs Community and Group Projects / Re: Monthly Customizing Challenge - Month 3 - SITH LORDS!
« on: July 19, 2005, 08:00 AM »
A couple of Sith lords I did a few years back:
One on the left is Darth Yarkon and other is Lord Vel (fan fic names). Yarkon was a Maul, with Sith Accesory cloak and Battlefield Earth Johnny head. Vel was my first sculpey job. Used a Titan AE body (can't remember the fig) and sculpey'd the head. Then Peter Jackson borrowed my design for the Wraith King

What you guys need now is a LARGE clear beach ball to create the scene. 
These are kicking some major butt.

Star Wars Dioramas and Displays / Re: Modular Cloud City NEW PICS 7/15

Muftak,
May have heard this elsewehere but OMG! This is really a crisp dio. The style you work in is really unique to you. It makes your work amazing. The problem those of us that do "environmental themed scenes" is getting all those scenes into a nice compact area; you have definitely got that going on. I really admired the DS you did awhile back. I think my favorite thing in this addition is the folding torture apparatus.

Once again, work and kharma love me. Getting a little break over the next few days and will get Chapter 3 wrapped up and posted. Finished the Gall cantina, Black Sun Conference room, Xizor Strong Room and a slew of customs over the last couple of weeks. I am doing the Falcon cockpit, gunwell and the interior (from NiubNiub's) and about to go beserk. 
Look for another post this weekend with Chapter 3, followed closely by Chapter 4.
Chewie, the Jawa Scavenger was a project I had in the back of my head for a while. I had bought a Military playset and it had a mobile command base that came with it.
It had ramps on all sides and that funky looking tower on top that was perfect size for Jawas. Built a foamcore track holder underneath it and used some fodder I had for the tracks (think they used to be parts to a CD tower). Next I added the cockpit (for lack of a better description) from foamcore.
I used the drawing from the Essential Vehicle guide to get the same angle as the Sandcrawler. I made the roof removable so those Jawas can drive it across the sands. Painted the whole thing and touched up part with an Antique Brass paint.
Some more pics of it:
I am going to make a couple more Black Sun guards before I post Chapter 3; I'll do a How To step by step photo session on these and post it as well. The band guys are pretty cheesy: I had some glow in the dark little alien dudes that I lobbed the heads off and just glued them onto the army guys that came with the military playset. Painted the hands to match the head colors and accented the eyes with a sharpie. Band instruments are just fodder I had. My daughter is dating a drummer, so that was the inspiration for the drum set.

Photonovels and Movies / Re: Shadows of the Empire (Chapter 2)
« on: July 3, 2005, 10:32 AM »
Wow, very busy week at work (ah, the Army) and not alot of time for SW
Any how, I finished the photoedit for Chapter 2 and am posting it below. Soory about the size of the pics, on future chapters here I will increase the size. Remember, you can always catch the story at my site Shadows of the Empire. Working on Chapter 3, one of the dios is the Falcon interior and it is time consuming. Hopefully within a week I will be done with it. Got a couple of days off so I will be a hot glue-ing fanatic.
TOP: Ca Vel Gulad, Guri (Chapter2), Fixer, Luke (Desert), Luke (SOTE), Leia (Cantina), Lando (SOTE)
MIDDLE: Cantina Mercs (Killva Snuggs, Hukli Dressdon, Wukk Roder), SOTE Cantina Band (Al and the Liens), Black Sun Guards
BOTTOM: Vilmahr Grahrk, Villie Holo, Melas, Senni and Brea Tonnika, Bannis Keeg, Rokku Keeg, Alsowana D'Ulkalero, Ponda Boba, Regga Hoff

Photonovels and Movies / Shadows of the Empire
« on: June 28, 2005, 04:24 PM »
Chewie finally got me to get this online here at Jedi Defender. I am working on a 15 Chapter Shadows of the Empire photonovel that includes the book, comics, and video game along with some fan fiction to fill in the blanks. So take a step back to 1997, a time before the prequels when the dark underworld of the Empire was explored and we found conspiracy and deceit in the Shadows of the Empire...
Custom figures appearing in this chapter:
TOP: Leebo, Lando (Chapter 1), Seated Xizor, Emperor Statues, Seated Emperor
BOTTOM: Jix, Nrin Merv (Black Sun's Accountant), Guri, Emperor's Hand
I have Chapter 2 complete and am working on getting it photo edited with the stopry attached. I should have it posted sometime in the next 16 hours.
