Boba Fett is simply stunning.  Its hard to imagine that these are 3-3/4 inch figures.  Your detailing is just great.  On the Carbonite - I want to go back and look at mine to see what you added to it to bring it to life.  My only minor criticism is in the edges of the lights on the floor.  Maybe you can use a colored marker or paint around the white rim that still can be seen on the printed paper.  Like I said this is very very very minor.

I would echo Lestats request for a painting tutorial.  Your wash techniques always come out so well.

I think the Parjai trooper look great.  He definitely has the weathered look of the original reference shots.  I think its a real good use of accessories on his belt clip.  As far as the ammo pouch, one thing I done is take pieces of the #41 antenna and cut them into this pieces.  They work very well for the round ammo clips (or whatever they are supposed to be).

Phruby, glad you like the painted improvemtents.  I'm not sure what do about the uni-tooth.  I may look at it closer and see if I can add another one.

Glassman, Chewie, Jeff, and smartypants - thanks for the comments on Rykrof. I'm glad you guys like the the "Out of the Box" Rykrof custom.

I've got one more planned for the mutant head  ;)

You are just teasing us with words....  ;D   Anyway, nice set - up

I love the ball pictures.  But you have to admit that is pretty big bottle that Clone is pouring out of!!  What a great mini-diorama!

Chewie - thanks for the comments - on the alien - I wasn't actually trying to match the robe and arms in terms of color.  The robe was more of a sleeve-less coverall.   I really wanted to keep this robe on him as I didn't think the body underneath really worked for the look I was going for.

Glad you like the Rykrof - you are the ultimate judge on those ;-)  Like I said in the other thread - it was sort of outside the normal box.  I'm not sure what his backstory would be but I sort of think of him as the "evil anti-hero"

Spent a little time working on my first shot at a photonovel.  Here is one preview pic.  I've updated more on my thread in the Photonovel Area.

This marks my first attempt at a "Diorama"  or at least hand made backgrounds props. 

Comments?  Criticisms?

Definitely making some headway on my upcoming photonovel.  Here are a few preview pics that will definitely make Chapter 1:

Thanks for the comments.  I've actually been sculpting things for a little while (mostly trying helmets and other things).  However this was my first attempt something more "organic". 

I've gotten comments form two people about the robes so maybe they are off a little.  However,  I really liked this robe.  Maybe it does look a little big but I needed something to cover up the body as it didn't work for the look I was going for.  I wasn't trying to match the arms and "robe" its more like a sleeveless coverall.

I really need to name this guy and his species... I'm open to suggestions  ;D

Prof - thanks for the comments. 

All the droids I made inspired one of my Monthly Entries....

I know this is a double post, but I want to keep my personal thread up to date so here are my entries in the Monthly Challenge and Group Project:

Rykrof Android:





Head: Rykrof (Endor Rebel Soldier) Head Cast (squished cheeks)
Body: IG-88
Arm/Leg - EP1 C-3PO with plating from AOTC C-3PO
Hand Modification - Some part cut off some random blaster I had

Because of the way the IG-88 and 3PO legs us different joint types (both had pegs on them), I had to dremel into the 3PO leg and trim the IG-88 waist.  Unfortunately I had to glue the leg in place to keep it there  :-[    I wassurprised that the 3PO and IG-88 legs were the same length.  I also glued the head in place because I was lazy  :)


For what it's worth.  I finally named this guy:    Semel Odon.  He is a hermit that lives on Tatooine.  His species is the Shenzeeder.








looking at the last picture, I need to clean up the wash on the arms  :-\

Head - custom sculpted from Super Sculpy and I made a resin cast out of it. 
Body - OTC Myo
Hands - Chewbacca
Robe - not sure, found in my miscellaneous parts - I'm pretty sure that its Agen Kolars.
Staff - Part of a Staff from one of the EPI accessory kits and a thermal detonater.

<sigh> Any tips on how to fix the fraying? I was considering maybe burning it a bit. Then again you can only tell close up....



Finish this custom, I never will :D

I have heard people suggest clear nail polish on the edges.

Well, I finished up both entries in the Group Project and MCC tonight (this morning!?)

Edited for name:   Semel Odon.  He is a hermit that lives on Tatooine.  His species is the Shenzeeder.

Okay, finished up my Rykrof custom - I went way outside the box on this one.  I give you a Rykrof Android:






I think he looks better in person than the photos (they show off too many of the flaws).   For what its worth, the Rykrof head was one of the casts that I made - this one looked a little "thin" in the face like it had been squished together too much.  It matches the thin frame of the IG-88.  The other parts are EP1 C-3PO with the leg plating from the AOTC 3PO.  Because of the way the IG-88 and 3PO legs us different joint types (both had pegs on them), I had to dremel into the 3PO leg and trim the IG-88 waist.  Unfortunately I had to glue the leg in place to keep it there  :-[    I wassurprised that the 3PO and IG-88 legs were the same length.  I also glued the head in place because I was lazy  :)

Customs Community and Group Projects / other sites
« on: March 10, 2006, 02:40 PM »
I'm not sure that this is even appropriate topic and I'm not even sure what my question is, but as I've been spending more and more time here, I really like the vibe from this custom community.  I had posted a few things at another SW community site and the Customs area there has almost completely dried up.  I'm finding myself spending more and more time here.  However, when I see stuff like "I'posted this at so and so..." I've started wondering about other sites too. 

Do most people post there work in mutliple sites?  If so, and if everyone is using the same sites, does it get confusing remembering which customs you commented on which sites, etc?  Do you generally have a "home base" forum and then just share with others?  Do you get a lot more varied comments if you branch out to other sites? 

Like I said, I don't even know if its appropriate to start commenting on about other sites within this thread, I'm just curious on hearing other peoples opinions of how they use or don't use multiple customs sites.

If this isn't appropriate for the site, go ahead a lock it up - no harm no foul :) :) :)
