Monthly Customizing Challenge #14: Imperials and Slaves!

[The_Tin_Man]

The reason my Wookie dosen't have an arm is because I got him like that from a ROTS toys lot off of eBay. The backstory though his he lost his arm on Kessel in the spice mines. I am trying to find a good new arm for him. Some kind of robotic arm. Any suggestions are welcome

[Nirvana]

Even if you can't find an arm, maybe sculpt a stump- not bloody, but just to conceal the peg.

Here's my first entry- for a backstory as well as more pics see my seperate customs thread.

I've been really enjoying seeing people's entries so far, and am looking forward to trying one  myself.  The Slaves and Imperials theme is a good one, because it's so versatile -- really encourages lots of creativity!  (Not that anyone here has trouble with that...)

For the time being, here's a few of my older customs on the slave theme:

Diva Shaliqua
Aurra Sing (Slave)

... the Findswoman

[The_Tin_Man]

Those are great customs Findswoman

[PenDragon]

I love the soft goods on that Aurra Sing, Finds - the pose is worthy of one of those 7" unleashed figs, and the red & metalic green look so very cool.  And shiny.... oooooo, da shiiiiiiny....    er, srry- I totaly blame the allergy meds -'tis the season.

Um, anyway:
Finds - very cool stuff & wonderful use of details & soft goods as always!

Darth Nirvana - thanks for the compliments - I don't get a chance to be on the computer often these days, so I don't post too much. But you can check out the May Group Project for a couple more customs that I've done recently - or Curto's Custom Alliance under the name "Top Cat" for a few older ones. I'm diggin' your Imperial Slave Ship crew - especially the Captain. Your use of the soft goods & those legs / boots is just plain cool.

Outrider - I love your ROTE work - the entire line (from RS on) is truly masterful.

Master_Phruby - Captain Lurch is fantastic. I'm a big fan of the leg And the paint on the face looks crisp & clean. Slave Trader Baroness looks pretty cool too - very nice use of the Swan body & the arms are a great fit!

Fritzkrieg - that guy rocks! Perfect parts, great concept! I can't wait to see what you do with the poor soul on the other end of that whip...

Jeff - simple, elegant, nice work with the dry brush too. 20 minutes well spent, IMO

The_Tin_Man - again, nice,  simple, and works great - and I love the one-armed Wookie! I'dleave him as is, or add a bandaged stump

outrider, I dont know if anyone has ever asked, but how do you do your holsters?  It looks like fabric or some material.

here's a link to my holster tutorial.  Its as detailed as I can make it.  I hope that you enjoy it and that it helps you.  Please let me know what you think of it.   

Thanks for commenting on my work as well. 

[RollaJedi]

thank you very much!  Where does one get vinyl pieces anyways?  Thanks!

[Smartypants1635]

This is a tip out of my own book so that Outrider didnt keep having to destroy his boys power rangers costume.

Go to walmart and get those 1 dollar 3 ring binders that are just basically cardboard covered by a plastic vinyl. All you have to do is peel the vinyl right off.

Had a bit of time tonight so here's my second entry for the month...

Head = PotJ Imperial Officer
Rest = PotF2 Tarkin

Yeah, it's just another simple parts swap! 

I'm setting up a new Death Star Scene in my SW Room and I needed a real Officer for all my jump-suit PotJ Imp Officers.  Since all our "real" Imperial Officers (Tarkin, Piett, Veers, Jerjrrod, Ozzel) are wearing gray, I decided to whip up this guy to create a DS specific Officer.

One thing I'd like to fix is to change his rank badge a bit... but I'm not really an expert on those.  Suggestions?
