Great to see you check-in! I get how life can sometimes just "take over." Anyway, I'm liking your Verpine a lot. Look forward to seeing how this new project unfolds.

The Verpine is great, I like the use of parts.  I found those same cocktail forks a while back and they make great light sabers.

I agree with Tamer! You latest WIP reminds me of the concept art of Revenge of the Sith! Hope everything is going well for you!

Making The Band! 2/14/23

My Friends!
It, again, has been a while since my last post.  Here is a work in progress with one portion complete. 

"The Modal Nodes!"

I couldn't see buying the set on Hasbro Pulse and so I just bought 7 Figrin D'an figures as they came up on sale on Amazon.  I had some extra instruments from one of the old sets of Modal Nodes.  I didn't like the drum instrument in the Hasbro Pulse set so I made a different one that looks more percussion like.  I used a drone from the Dollar Tree line of toys, Final Faction, as well as a jet pack, and a bazooka type weapon from GI Joe.  The mallets are from Thor's friend, Hogun the Grim.  I'm currently working on Tech Mo'r's ommni box so that he has a seating position and a larger instrument than what came with the early Modal Nodes set.  Enjoy!

Awesome! I didn't get the set either. If they had said from the get go all members would be in a pack I wouldn't have bought 4 of the figrin dans.  Black series was a huge clusterf%$#@. You had to but one of one thing and 3 of another to get all the pieces.

I know!  I like and don't like that you end up with extra instruments.  I'm a high school music teacher and the thought of creating a marching band with stormtroopers (you've seen those t shirts) has come to mind.  With the extra instruments I have, I am closer to doing that idea.  I'm more into the whole Mandalorian thing now and so, maybe a Mandalorian marching band is in order.  Or both or more.  Imagine a parade of different bands.  Mandalorian, Stormtrooper, Alliance, Gungan, Ewok, etc.

Tamer!  Good to hear from you, my friend.  I've got a couple more to put up here but, you understand, life happens.  Good stuff but yes.  Anyway, thank you for sharing my most recent post.

Good to see you check in again! I love the drum set - great use of the Dollar Store resources. I think its a very clever way to build out the band. I look forward to seeing the ommni box when you're done with that.

As I've done before, here's another new instrument for the Modal Nodes.  Here's Tech M’or (Ommni box).  This is the Ommni Box 2000.  Enjoy!
