I gotta say all of these customs are great! OUTSTANDING work from all.

Merc your Jedi is wonderful and Wookie Balls I liked your Luke but your Han is out of the park!


I am desperately working day and night on an entry. I only started it this past Sunday due to time constraints at the beginning of this month. I didn't want to compete with you guys on a Han or Luke character so I'm going for a villain. This villain is in the paint stage. I hope to be posting something either tonight or tomorrow. Wish me luck.

And here is my third and final figure to complete my trio of entries...

She is Shae Skywalker - Luke's daughter.





And here is one last pic of all three of my figures together!



This has been my favourite competition! It has been awesome to see the figures that you guys are turning  out!!!

All the best,

Ray

Hi to all :)
I'm not sure if I need to introduce myself in another thread, so please excuse me that I do it here. I'm from Bulgaria, Europe and I've been customizing for quite some time, but mainly "improving" my figures, it's too expensive to buy multiples for customizing here. This is my first participation in this kind of contest :) I wanted to register in Yakface, too - I've been a regular visitor there for a few years, but for some reason my registration fails every time. If someone from their site sees this and helps me, I'll be grateful. Anyway, here are my customs:

 Neru Keel. I imagined him as a clone who was exposed to some kind of radiation and developed midichlorians. His lifespan and his vision about the Galaxy got bigger :) So in Ep 7 he should be one of the followers of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, a veteran and survivor of the Clone wars and the Jedi Purge.
 Recipe:
 Head - Saga 2 Clonetrooper, hair and beard sculpted with Aves FIXIT.
 Rest- ROTS Obi-Wan, resculpted bootstraps.
 Lightsaber - scratchbuild.

Ok. Here is our entry for the contest. We wanted a character that would have a plausable bridge between Episode VI and VII. After researching the Sand People and watching ROTJ again, we finally came up a figure. We even created his own card, backstory, and gave him a recon droid. Even with all the new gadgets, we felt he should still be true to his heritage and own his gaffi stick. Because of his time with Boba Fett, we felt Boba would have given him some of his older items in his closet: wrist rocket, worn cape, shoulder/knee pads, and color scheme. This merc is slowly evolving...









He has a Visual Display Scope: Enhances day/night vision, thermal traces, and links with recon droid. Made to swivel out of position when not in use.






Thanks for looking!

 The second one - a Wookie War Chieftain. No name by far. I would just love to see more wookies in Ep7. I don't know if Chewie will still e there, but this one could be one powerfull sidekick :)
 Recipe:
 Ep1 preview Wookie Warrior with resculpted using Aves FIXIT head and elbows (added fur).
 Scratch-built bandolier from polymer clay and real leather.
 Scratch-built crossbow using the big gun that comes with the Wookie Warrior.

 



 And the two together:



Great customs by far, good luck to everyone :)

That Tusken merc is very cool, especially with the custom designed cardback. The display base complements it perfectly :)
Chewie, may as ask once more (since you are a moderator at Yakface) if you can help me with  my registration there?

Justin I think you are correct. Isn't it great! Talk about some wonderful work folks.

Bubba Fett I am just blown away with your carded glory to go along with your custoum figure and diorama. Just awesome work from all angles.

And Evilivo welcome to ISY and I really like your entries as well. I so agree we should get some type of cure for a few of the Clones and get them into some force sensitive roles. I know one gal who will go crazy over that Wookie you created too.

Ray, beautiful work man! Great looking figures!

Warsaw, are you aka Warsaw Wonder on other forums? That is a great looking figure! I love your design and beautiful paint aps.

Bubo, that is a very original concept! Very nice work building up the extra gear and that card back is fantastic!

Evillvo, welcome to the yards! 2 great looking characters and nice work with the sculpting!
