I got five Republic credits that says either Han or Lando totally tapped that. ;)
-DD
You perverted freaks. :)
I don't think I'll add that scene to a photonovel.

Well, since I jumped the gun on showing mine early, do whatever you want. :)
But starting in June, I think we should wait until June 29-30. ;)
:P
GOOD LORD! That is awesome!!! I love it!
What all parts did you use? Holy hell, my jaw dropped, I fell out of my chair, and I need a beer. :)
:P
DD- I love it. At least we got one that isn't a dancer. ;) I like the open shirt, it is very sexy if you like women with plastic chests :P :-*
Hot damn! These figures rock. Nice job on the ladies, guys! Can't wait to start work on my Pirate/Smugler.

So has the june "make a smuggler" challenge started yet?
Yeah, it's begun. Everyone can start on their figure, but we're not supposed to show it until the end of the month.
:P
I guess I don't make complex ones like most of you guys.
Not sure about the legs though.
Those are gi joe style acticulated hips. She can get into alot of funky positions. ;D I do worry about the paint coming off on her sholders when I move them. She has a cote of dull cote. It would have been easier to paint her in pieces, cote it and then assemble her.
Here is a figure I would like to make for the smuggler. She is of course from KOTOR 2.

I'm thinking a Zarana head with Bombstrike torso. Not sure about the legs though.
Male or Female. Whatever you wish. :)
:P
Thanks DD. What parts would you use for her? I was going to stay straight gi joe on this one but what would you suggest?
(http://www.yojoe.com/action/03/images/zarana2_large.jpg)
I might be able to use the entire Zarrana body except the arms. The Baroness would work for arms.

Thanks DD. What parts would you use for her? I was going to stay straight gi joe on this one but what would you suggest?
I'd say you're off yo a good start...the Zarana is perfect for a lot of the body, and the Baroness arms are a good choice. I'd utilize the removable gauntlets from the Deluxe AOTC Jango for her wrist launcher, and check some BBI figures at the TRU for those waist pouches. For the big boots I'd go with a V2 Firefly figure...the purple version. He had boots that would look pretty close, I think.

You mean this firefly v8

You don't happen to have a spare Black Baroness for trade, do you, Phruby?I wish. I don't even have one for myself yet.
Man I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I'm working on a second one... is it ok with you guys if I have two submissions?
:P
There's still over a week left on the "SMUGGLER" one - that might give you time to make one for the June deadline!
As for July, I don't believe we've decided yet, but I'd like to go with any version of a ROTS Padme.
:P
CuDa, we're trying to mostly make these fan-fiction. :)
:P
Chainsaw... that chainsaw... I think a Chainsaber would be cool. :D
I probably won't make him a chainsaw or anything, he's just supposed to be a regular smuggler.
As for the gloves, I thought it added a different touch, and made it look a bit different from a Han.
:P
Anyone have any more Smugglers to submit?
:P

:P
Haha, that's great! I like the backstory.
I think you should try giving the body a paintjob to distinguish him some more from regular clone pilots though.l
Hmmm... I think that a dark color to offset it against the jumpsuit would look cool. Maybe even black would look good?
:P
That jawa sith lord is funny! Great idea! I wonder how he would do in a fight with my gungan.
Phruby - That looks like a great start! Excellent use of parts, and she looks really evil. What legs are those?
Phruby - That looks like a great start! Excellent use of parts, and she looks really evil. What legs are those?
Those are from a figure named Lillth in the Darkstalkers line. I used her torso for my Winter figure a while ago. Now I'm finally using her legs. Still got some arms and wings to get rid of.
They have star wars action figure-scaled darkstalkers figures? NO WAY! This I have to see!
Nice job Phruby! I think it's the stringy hair that does it for me with that Sith Witch. Very cool 8)
Is there a technique to adding hair like that or do you just glue it on?
Is it too late to get in on this? ;D

So I am a little late.....this is last months submission. This fig has actually been pieced together for about a year now, I just recently painted it.
(http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9346/sithlord9es.jpg)
This is my submission for this month. This fig has pretty much the same history as the smuggler fig. It has been together for about a year, I just painted it yesterday.
And I hope your AT-TE doesn't crush him because he's cool. :)
Really? Where'd you hear that? That's hi-larious!
... what type of paint do you use?
Thats a good idea! I'll make a little coke bottle to replace the antenna.
I'm thinking of doing the droid who calls everyone 'meatbags' from the KOTR game. Can't figure out which base figure to use though (in 6" scale)
what other terrorist orgs are there in star wars? Is black sun one of them?
What's the difference between a terrorist and a bounty hunter besides their job?Who they're working for. :P (Yeah, that was knee slapping funny, I know)
I'd be in for basic Confederate organic troops, truth be told. Regardless, I intend to partake in this next challenge.
SLC, are Senators on our list now? I might have missed or forgotten them?
I'm up for Confederate Troopers for September.
:P
Bounty hunters would be cool.
Was there ever a suggestion of self-customs?
Ok, I think this has gone pretty far with a lot of different ideas. Unless someone objects, when September starts I am going to change the title of the thread to Month 5 - Bounty Hunters/Terrorists. Month 6, I think it should be Confederate Troopers... such a cool idea.
Those are some pretty cool ideas you had Rolla Jedi. I don't see any reason why we couldn't try something like that.
And it seems like we have so many ideas; but what the hell. Here's another one. Snoova! The stupid Wookiee figure of Chewbacca that Hasbro made in the SOTE line, but the rule would be that you have to use a Chewbacca figure from the POTJ, SAGA, VOTC or ROTS line. Nobody else may be up for that (I think it would make an interesting Group Project), so if not, I'll just make my own version someday.
Back on topic for Month 4 though... has anyone started their custom yet? I am brainstorming some ideas in my head. I am going to make two different customs; one that is kind of a somewhat mainstream type of Star Wars droid, and one that is totally different from anything we've seen before.
I need to get moving on it though because I have actually a commission group of figures for someone that I have to get working on right away. I probably won't take on any more commissions for a while though; I feel really pressured to make them perfect (which is something I just can't do).
:P
I think the interest at scum is there but we've been doing some very advanced customs.
I think the easier ones over there would be a hit.
That looks amazing Phruby! Wow!
I just wish that Coca Cola was more of a sponsor for Star Wars, I always prefer Coke over Pepsi. :)
:P
Here is my UG-L1 droid
He took a little under a day to make. I started out trying to make a Bollux and Blue max, but that road only led to tears. But luckily I got to cobble together the rest of the parts and make this ....thing. Its so ugly it's cool.
His head arms and legs come from a Dollar tree X-treme racer figure. Its some horrible, cheap Power renger knock-off it's even got a Power ranger head. But it was in scale so I snagged it. The torso is a EII saga 3PO that I popped the head and limbs off of. The chestplate is a B.A.T.'s from G.I.Joe that I added by drilling a hole into the 3PO chest to make fit. Its removable, but I forgoot to snap a pic of that.
Well I went ahead and started one, if I forgot any entries PM me, or if you'd still rather split it up let me know. I figured this way instead of 4 threads for the CCC we'd have 2.
And my custom LIN-V8K droid from Tatooine
(http://www.yakface.com/jayson/customs/LIN-V8K2.jpg)
great astromechs jedijaybird! I really like that red leader droid - very crisp paintjob ;D
Is that yellow R5 droid an original paintscheme?
what about trandos they struck adeal with the seps and got free droids for the help on invading kashyyk
Hey SLC - I need to PM you, so get ready for a couple of questions. ;)
:P
Thanks for running that thread, it's nice to see everyone's work put together like that. Hope we see a couple more final Droids from a few more members!
:P
I'm going to have to take a rain check on getting mine finished on time. I was forced to evacuate, and unfortunately I took all of my WIP's except Bollux. I didnt realise he was missing from the pile until I got here. Provided Ive got a home to go back to I'll have to finish him then. :(
Well I'm probably not going to make any more Mandalorians either for a while. I'm wanting to make some sort of humans with their faces being shown for this challenge.
:P
Theres a joke just waiting there but I'm not touching it. I'm just going to snicker and wait. ;D

Don't worry, it's only a fraction of us that can't formulate grammatically correct sentences. See? I'm fifteen and I can spell on a level that's higher than elementary school standards: there is hope for the future, don't worry.
:P
...and this is what our schools are teaching our children. :-\Actually, I've got to disagree with the Perennials assement. I too am fifteen and I've got to say the majority of kids being churned out of school can't spell worth a lick and for the most part are apathetic (or in some cases, spiteful) towards grammar. It might just be due to the fact that I happen to be from the worst educational system in the US ( ::)), but the fact remains.
Please pardon my blasphemous ignorance and laziness (too lazy to look it up) -- But what the nuts is Blue Harvest? It sounds like a brand name for cheese. :P
B
SLC, for a head, I would suggest maybe the Bust Up head?
:P
I have a little surprise for the head. It's one of Ryan Shaw's (bantha5) custom Bossk head. He even painted it for me. I just hope the rest of the figure will not seem out of place.
Hey Ryan, what is the quote from on your signature?
You know, with the front page mention (thanks JD!)
Wow! Perennial just raised the bar on creativity. No one ever does any Ubese! I really dig this one, so much so that I'm going to steal the recipe. :P
-DD
ThePerennial - Excellent parts usage on Jeeb! Great work! I don't know what else to say, it's very original (I think this is the first Ubese custom that I have seen that wasn't a "Boushh"). Is the helmet still removable? Was it hard to paint on the soft rubber of the helmet?
Well I have a vintage custom I want to submit, but it sort of looks like someone elses idea, I just want to let everyone know I guess 2 of us had the same idea.
Great Minds Think Alike.
The guy in the front looks awesome... I'd love to see some clearer pics of him... I see he has the Wookiee Warrior thing on him... excellent idea.Yeah, as you can imagine I'm pretty frustrated with this camera. I just took some retakes, but the camera was as out of focus on those as it was on the originals. So, Allah Willing, I can take some new ones before the night is out (hurrah for only 2 hours of studying!).
The big guy in the middle looks like a guy in The Rykrof Series, I think he was in chapter one at the bar. I wish you had a better camera, cause I'd love to see better pictures of this squad. Is that a German WWII helmet on the front guy? I'll go a head and add this to the image thread.Now that you mention it, he kinda does. Ha, subliminal design I guess. Although in person, he's of a totally different make; while the fella in Abridon uses the body of a 21C Battle of the Bulge BAR Gunner, this guy is made out of a BBi Elite Force figure. And yes, that is indeed a WW2 German Helmet on the front guy.
Whoa! Is that a Gungan base for the head? Looks like a cross between a lizard and Jar Jar kinda! And are those Tessek's hands?
It's off to a good start. I would suggest painting the entire figure, and make his skin tone just a little more dull if you can. And then a nice wash/dry brush and I think you have a mean looking Bounty Hunter/Terrorist.
:P
Whoa! Is that a Gungan base for the head? Looks like a cross between a lizard and Jar Jar kinda! And are those Tessek's hands?
Yah, I like the guy in the white hat too. It looks like he's been in the bush way too long. I like the Ozzel guy too. It's like he is leftover RAF british general from wwI.Good call! The British uniforms from The Great War were actually the inspiration for this guy.
The only thing that doesn't really do it for me is the chest design - it's a little hard to distinguish the colors
How did you make the visor?
I need to decide what I am going to make... so far, I am not sure.
Still not sure if I should do a scary alien custom or one of those "candy corn" troopers!
Chewie, how do you get that kind of finish on the super battle droid arms?
o.k. so anyone can join then?with that covered,I just started my bounty hunter guy (well really I hafvent decided what the heck he is)I can use gijoe parts right?
Still not sure if I should do a scary alien custom or one of those "candy corn" troopers!
Here it is almost 2 weeks later and I still have no idea how to go about this month's entry.
i'm gonna try to get pics up asap.anyone know of a good pic hosting site.
That's just too blurry.
I have a project I'm working on for this. It's based on a character from something truely scary. The star wars holiday special.
This would be an Imperial's worst nightmare... a Wookiee Zombie out for revenge.
