Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Callista
« on: April 22, 2005, 01:47 PM »
I said before I thought Master Phruby's recipe would become the template for all future Callista's...looks like he proved me right.

I like this fig a lot. The only suggestions I would make would be sculpting her hairstyle to look more like the reference pic, and maybe taking her down a bit in the gloss department, but those are minor quibbles. It turned out great. (Love the soft goods, by the way!)

The astromech looks like he's fresh off the assembly line. I love it. Can't get enough of these little guys.  ;D

Welcome, AdamSolo! Always good to have another member here at Jedidefender!

That's awesome. I can't wait to see more. I think that would be a good design for some kind of internal security force, like Corsec.

Thanks, Chewie. The KOTOR droid's legs come from another Chap Mei figure. He's a little short guy, and they gave him these mechanical legs he wears on his feet. It's a weird figure, but when I saw it, I knew immediately what I was going to do with the legs. The little guy will definitely pop up in another custom...those Chap Mei figures are a great source of fodder. I went looking for more today, but no luck.

Interestingly enough, I bought a clearanced K-Mart Cantina set specifically so I could make some cool KOTOR droids like the ones you did awhile back.  ;)

Speaking of KOTOR, remember my Zaalbar figure? I wasn't super happy with it, so I started over. Here's the new one, utilizing a Bespin CHEWIE that I added kung-fu grip, elbow and knee articulation to. 



And because JD is my favorite custom site, I've decided to add pictures here and FFURG that other sites won't get. So, here's another shot showing off that articulation.



He still needs a little drybrushing, and he looks a little shiny in these pics because of the flash, but I like this Zaalbar a lot better.

A soft goods version...don't tempt me, Chewie. I may just do that.  ;)

In the meantime, here's a few things I've been working on this week. The work of Lance, CHEWIE, and JediKnight have me thinking about doing a photonovel at some point, but I was thinking of doing it in the KOTOR era. Whether or not I'll ever actually get around to it I can't say, but I can make a lot of customs that I think have that "KOTOR" feel in the meantime. So, here's a droid from that era.



And here's a shot from a slightly different angle.



Finally, this one looks really easy, but was actually a bit of a pain. I like the Episode III sculpt of Mace a lot, but he had a lame action feature, and his legs didn't have any knee articulation. So I took a Jedi Council Mace Windu, and attached the lower torso to the upper torso of the Episode III figure. It required some dremeling and the insertion of a metal post to allow the waist to swivel, but it's really sturdy and came out well, I think. Of course, the skirt had to be cut to allow the legs to be posed, but it's not even noticeable when he's in a neutral pose. As an added bonus, this Mace can sit in his council seat.



I might have some more updates tonight.

   I do like it...but somehow, something is still missing, in my opinion. Not sure what it is.

   I've got a few customs I've been working on today...and I keep looking at Nihilus, commanding me to do more...but I'm at a loss.  ;)

Star Wars Action Figures / Darth Nihilus revised.
« on: April 19, 2005, 11:06 PM »
CHEWIE: You mean like this?



Or here's one that's a little more like your famous "montage" pics.  ;)



Let me know if you think I should tweak it some more.

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Clone Special Ops.

Thanks, SLC, Diddly. I appreciate the praise.

As much as I enjoyed doing these clones, I think I'm done with clones for a time...I want to move on to some other characters...but I may revisit them soon if I get a decent shot of the Yellow Clones that accompany Obi-Wan to Utapau.

CHEWIE: If you don't like that Kel Dorian, I'd be happy to buy/trade it from you.  ;)

Hey Chewie,

I was just checking out your updated page at the Custom Alliance...wow! There's a LOT of guys in there I've never seen before! There's a KelDorian and a Trandoshan in there that blew me away!

Yeah, Patrick Swayze is the new clone template. Wait until I start my photonovel...it's about a clone who gets hired to be a cooler in a rough cantina...and he has to diffuse potentially explosive situations with one-liners like "It's my way or the highway" and "Take the train."

Aay Vida is going to be his "regular Saturday night thang."

It'll be the craziest, it'll be the SWAYZIEST, photonovel of them all!  ;D

SLC: I've thought about making the hood more true to the actual character. I probably will at some point, and try to add the correct chest piece. (Which I already have picked out.) I've just been too lazy to try it yet.  ;)

CHEWIE: What colors would you suggest I dry-brush him with?

Star Wars Action Figures / Another KOTOR custom
« on: April 18, 2005, 06:14 PM »
Remember, though, that the novel is produced off of the first drafts of the script. A lot gets changed, added or cut along the way.

Oh, and here's another KOTOR custom, Darth Nihilus. Note the moodier lighting.  :D

The only footage/screencaps I've seen of the temple massacre is of the blue troopers, or "the 501st."

I'm not a Stargate SG-1 fan, but I really like this custom insert...especially all the little detail in the indicia.  ;)

Great job, SLC!
