Title: Check it out!
Post by: Mungo Baobab on October 14, 2010, 07:31:14 AM
Hello everyone. I am Mungo Baobab and I am new to the Imperial Shipyards. I have been customizing for a short time and posting over on Yakface, but wanted to get in to the action here as well.  I have enjoyed seeing all of your customs and hope you all like mine as well.  I mainly focus on custom Jedi. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

The first custom is Jedi Master Nomar Giiett.

The second Jedi is Sur Coe Nala.

Welcome to the Yards! Glad to see your work here as your Jedi are very nice. I have to say the first is my pick of the lot. The parts work great together and I love the SE scarf. Great job on the paint and weathering! The second Jedi is suffering from anorexic thighs, they are smaller than arms. I know the fodder you have determines what parts you use buy if you could switch out the thigs on him it would be an awesome figure. The rest looks great and has the same quality paint work as the first. Well done and I can't wait to see more of your work!

Thanks. The legs on the second Jedi are actually supposed to be prosthetics. I used Terminator legs. Back story on the character was that he lost his legs in a crash. I will look in to doing something about their size. I am always upgrading my customs.
Title: More Jedi

Here is a Rodian Jedi that I made a while back.

Master Kel Saar.

Title: Human Jedi
Post by: Mungo Baobab on October 14, 2010, 04:30:35 PM
This Jedi custom was my first attempt EVER at weathering/washing.  I have a whole back story for him...

The Story:

Jedi Master Logan Drover was stationed on the forest moon Quint during the Clone Wars. Quint orbited the 4th planet of the Chandrila System, a gas giant named Quenus. Quenus was located within the region of core-worlds. Master Drover was in command of a small Jedi militia which guarded supply station Epsilon Six for the Republic. Their location was highly classified until a Separatist group, stationed on the third moon of Asimuse, another gas giant in the same system, intercepted an incoming Republic transmission. Now exposed, the station was subject to constant separatist attack. The Republic never fortified the station with clone troopers and Master Drover’s team kept the station defended for the Republic right up until Order 66 was issued. When the news came over the holonet, Drover and the others quickly left the station. The Empire classified Master Drover and the other Jedi as MIA, however, the small group escaped and roamed the outer rim, working odd jobs, smuggling, gambling, and even collecting bounties.

The Team:

General - Master Logan Drover
Security - Master Nomar Giiett
Communications - Master Sur Coe Nala

(more team members to come)

Let me know what you think.

Ah, with the back story it makes sense that his legs are thinner. I could not see them good enough to tell they were Terminater legs. The Rodian looks very cool and the Jedi that was your first is a great one as well! I wish my first custom had looked that good! Well done!

Thanks everyone for the extremely kind words. I have a new Jedi to introduce.

A new Jedi I came up with.  I am still trying to decide if I like the way it turned out.

Let me know what you think.
Title: Jedi Knight Prestor Marr
Post by: Mungo Baobab on October 28, 2010, 06:25:54 PM
Prestor Marr was once considered one of the Jedi Order's most talented lightsaber duelist. Then, during the clone wars, he faced General Grievous. Although Grievous did not have the force at his side, his mechanical body gave him near jedi-like abilities. With the high speed spinning motion, Grievous removed both of Marr's arms. Although, Prestor Marr was one of the few who fell to Grievous that actually survived, Grievous believed the shame of losing both arms would be worse than death for the Jedi. When Marr was first fitted with his prosthetics he found it very difficult to adapt and even hold a lightsaber. However, after months of rehab and the decision to cover his prosthetic hands with gloves, he soon began to redevelop his abilities.

Title: An Aqualish Spacer
Post by: Mungo Baobab on November 02, 2010, 06:23:21 PM
OK, most of you know from my posts in this forum that I usually focus on customizing Jedi. However, when I was recently looking through my fodder box this custom began to fall in to place. This is one of the more detailed projects I have really tackled to date.  I hope that I did well. So, let me introduce to you my custom Aqualish spacer...Pano Fiv.  

So, let me know how I did on this spacer.  Feedback is always welcomed and definitely appreciated.

This is my first ever total repaint. I don't feel like the pictures turned out that well, but you can at least see the paint work. I was not sure how it would come out, but it looks pretty good. I need more practice, but hopefully I will get better. You can compare him with the picture above.

Post by: Mungo Baobab on November 20, 2010, 03:54:51 PM
Thanks!  There are a few spots that didn't completely turn out to well that are on the back.  I think they came about from me rushing the task and not taking my time.  I learned a LOT on this first repaint. Hopefully I can continue to get better.

Title: Project Knight Quest - Two New Jedi Customs
Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 02, 2010, 11:00:36 AM
Project Knight Quest, at least in my somewhat creative mind, is the Star Wars equivalent to either the US Navy Seals or Special Forces.

Project Knight Quest was created during the Clone Wars to battle terrorism, collect intelligence, and be an invisible force. This specialized group called for disciplined, cool, self-reliant, creative thinking Jedi. With the creation of this unique group, the Jedi Council permitted every possible method of deception, camouflage, and concealment, in conjunction with the will of the light side of the force, to be employed.  Missions were demanding and took place all over the galaxy at day or night, in jungles, across snow-covered terrain, extreme heat, and humidity, sub-zero temperatures which consisted of rainy and foggy conditions. These Jedi were highly trained in piloting various craft, living off the land, and operating numerous weapons. This group is extremely unified. They wear the same type of garments and all carry blue lightsabers. This group disappeared off the grid after Order 66.

Project Knight Quest includes the following customs/characters, two of which are new:

Jedi Sword Master Prestor Marr

Title: Kadas'sa'Nikto Jedi - Chanirra K'or
Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 02, 2010, 11:21:20 AM
Jedi Chanirra K'or, a Kadas'sa'Nikto, lived sometime between 800 BBY and 600 BBY. He was one of the few Jedi in that period who carried a lightsaber as well as a blaster.

Hey everyone. I have a new poll up. Please vote and let me know what you think.

Just curious, does anyone have any ideas on how to get cheap fodder to work with. My supply is running extremely low and credits are a bit tight. If anyone has any good suggestions, I would happy to listen.

However,should anyone wish to donate, in the spirit of the season....I wouldn't be offended.  ;D
Title: Mon Cal Jedi - Rakecha Ygar
Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 10, 2010, 04:20:28 PM
Well, I have finally finished my Mon Cal Jedi. I have had many different parts changed in and out until I finally found what I thought was the right combination (as well as one I didn't have to paint). So I introduce to you Jedi Master Rakecha Ygar

Most of the time I focus my efforts on customizing Jedi, but after using the head of the Rebel Trooper for a jedi in Project Knight Quest, I had an idea for this guy. He is a Rebel Alliance Heavy Weapons Expert. Allow me to introduce Ackis Tandar.

Allow me to introduce Jedi Knight Tyh (pronounced "tie") Min Dossa. This is a something I put together today with some parts I had from previous projects.

CW Obi Wan Kenobi - arms, torso, and lower tunic
CW Clone Echo - hands and upper legs
SW Legacy Collection Clone Trooper  - lower legs and feet
GI Joe ROC Storm Shadow - head and lightsaber hilt.

Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 14, 2010, 05:58:03 PM
Thanks for all the compliments.

To those of you who suggested adding some color, I thought about painting the robe to add color, but decided against it. I thought of a partial backstory that revolved around Tyh being stationed on a desert planet during the clone wars. The tan and white would have been good for that environment.

In addition to that, I really like the tan robe with the white armor, so why mess with a good thing.

Glad you all like it.

I think I need just a little inspiration.

Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 16, 2010, 06:11:22 PM
I have actually made a Dressilian jedi. However, a Lepi would be a great idea. I will just have to figure out how or where to get the Lepi head.
Title: Re: Mungo's Custom Jedi
Post by: beige-4 on December 17, 2010, 09:22:44 AM
how about ... put the ahsoka head on stass allies body and paint the robes a different colour ? or use a kruhhk body with a lukes head so its like a jedi luke ??
Title: Re: Mungo's Custom Jedi
Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 17, 2010, 07:53:22 PM
I don't think K'Kruhk's body would be quite the right one for Luke. However, that probably would be funny.

Post by: Tamer on December 18, 2010, 06:11:00 AM
I have always loved the idea of Mandalorian Jedi so you can mix and match armor and Jedi styles. For that matter any armored Jedi I think looks pretty cool.

What about a Jedi from the planet where obi went to get greivous in ROTS? I forget what race they are, but wasn't Tion Medin the ROTS figure from this plannet? I also thought that the Mustafar Miner they gave us would look killer as a Jedi too.

Title: Old Republic Jedi Update - Odom Grey
Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 31, 2010, 10:51:17 AM
Many of you may have seen my Dressellian Jedi named Odom Grey. I recently received some new fodder and the local collectibles shop has an AMAZING set up. Boxes of loose fodder (swords, guns, stands, lightsabers, missles, capes, etc...) from all kinds of toys for only $0.10 each. Anyway, Odom Grey has a new look, which, IMHO is much better than the original. He also has a custom lightsaber. I will admit the lightsaber is not perfect up close, but when used with the custom it looks great. So without further blabbing allow me to re-introduce Jedi Master Odom Grey:

Title: Jedi Knight Rast Bondar
Post by: Mungo Baobab on December 31, 2010, 11:12:22 AM
Hello again. This is another Jedi custom I would like to share with you - Rast Bondar. Bondar also has a custom lightsaber which I will again admit is not perfect when up close, but used with the figure, works good enough for me. Odom Grey and Rast Bondar are a few of my Old Republic Jedi. Hopefully I will have a chance to take a group photo sometime soon. I introduce to you Jedi Knight Rast Bondar.

Nice work!  If it were *me* making them, I'd give Rast's overtunic a different color - but that is an entirely personal choice and does not detract from the figure at all.  I think Odom is my favorite and you've given me an idea, now.....  ;D

Title: Update on Taalzukk
Post by: Mungo Baobab on January 07, 2011, 08:51:54 AM
I had this great paragraph typed up about these latest additions and the Chrome friggin' locked up. Anyway, because I am now so frustrated because I lost all that I typed, I'm not going to retype it all again, but I believe you can see all the new stuff in the pictures. IMHO I think they are pretty cool.

Let me know what you think.

I added a Wookiee battle sword & shoulder strapped holder.
(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/Taalzukk6.jpg)

(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/Taalzukk3.jpg)

At first I thought the sword was a bit long, but since Wookiees are larger than humans, I figured a Wookiee battle blade would be pretty big too.

Next I added a Wookiee war mask.
(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/Taalzukk4.jpg)

(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/Taalzukk5.jpg)

When looking at the pictures, it doesn't look as if the mask fits, but that is mainly because of my camera angle. It looks good in real life, IMHO.

You mean just as like a "flat" wall backdrop?  With maybe some wide, deep, short steps leading up to some doors for a place to stand figures?  Hm.  Hmmmmm...

To be totally honest, I have no idea what the mask came from. I found it in a 10 cent box at the local collectors shop. 5 boxes of nothing but parts, this and that, and all kinds of misc stuff and it is all just 10 cents each.
Title: Re: Mungo's Custom Jedi
Post by: Luke Sprywalker on January 11, 2011, 06:27:21 AM

Post by: Mungo Baobab on January 22, 2011, 10:58:17 AM
This piece was inspired by clonesniper78's mandalorian warrior (which can be seen here: http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=3548.405)

I introduce do you Kath Elron

First I started off with a Luke Skywalker body. Swapped the feet for that of the VTC nikto and painted the upper boot brown.
(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran2.jpg) (http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran7.jpg)

Next I fitted a Storm Shadow head from a comic pack (Storm Shadow vs Tunnel Rat).
(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran3.jpg) (http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran4.jpg)

I decided to use the Storm Shadow mask that came with the comic pack.
(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran5.jpg)

I then attached shin armor straps and plates. These were made from some very small & thin pieces of brownish/black leather and part of the Jango Fett apartment leg armor.
(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran8.jpg) (http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran10.jpg) (http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran11.jpg)

After that I added some blue fabric from an old Batman figure cape and reused the Luke belt and holster with a few modifications. I added some Jango bags to the holster to give it a bit of a Mando feel.
(http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran12.jpg) (http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran13.jpg) (http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd456/chipcurrin/KathElran14.jpg)

Now came the torso armor which came from the Storm Shadow comic pack figure as well. I simply painted it red and weathered it with silver.

I have also added a vibrosword. Some more of that leather strapping and lighter piece of thin leather hand stitched and attached to the torso armor. The sword is from Dastan POP figure.

Title: Jedi Master Azek
Post by: Mungo Baobab on January 27, 2011, 12:41:54 PM
I would like to introduce Kyuzo Jedi Master Azek.

Master Azek not only carries a lightsaber, but also carries a shoto. The shoto hilt is made from the tooth of a krayt dragon. Azek killed the beast on Tatooine.

It is a blue blade.   ::)  Next is a portion of a Boushh staff and the last part is some little random piece I had in my fodder. A little metallic paint and a dot of red paint and BAM...she's done.  Not a very complex hilt, but unique.

Another great job Mungo!  I would've never thought to use the iron man head because of how recognizable it is, but it really doesn't detract at all from this guy.   You always add some small touch to a weapon, belt, etc and this time it's the chain attached to his pauldron and the leather waist belt.  Nice work!

Title: A "what if" Luke Skywalker
Post by: Mungo Baobab on February 15, 2011, 08:33:26 PM
Just finished this figure the other day. This is my "what if" Luke Skywalker. What if Luke had joined Vader at the end of the ESB. Now I know I am not the best writer, but just to give you an idea of what I was going with this, I put together this little fan fic redo followed by some pictures.

Hope you like it...


The Fall of Luke Skywalker

INTERIOR: GANTRY -- OUTSIDE CONTROL ROOM -- REACTOR SHAFT

Luke moves along the railing and up to the control room. Vader lunges at him and Luke immediately raises his sword to meet Vader's. Sparks fly as they duel, Vader gradually forcing Luke backward toward the gantry.

VADER: You are beaten. It is useless to resist. Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did.

Luke answers by rolling sideways and thrusting his sword at Vader so viciously that he nicks Vader on the shoulder. The black armor sparks and smokes and Vader seems to be hurt, but immediately recovers.

Luke backs off along the narrow end of the gantry as Vader comes at him, slashing at the young Jedi with his sword. Luke makes a quick move around the instrument complex attached to the end of the gantry. Vader's sword comes slashing down cutting the complex loose; it begins to fall, then is caught by the rising wind and blown upward.

Luke glances at the instrument complex floating away. At that instant, Vader's sword cuts through Luke's right forearm, cutting off his hand and sending his sword flying. In great pain, Luke squeezes his forearm under his left armpit and moves back along the gantry to its extreme end. Vader follows. The wind subsides. Luke holds on. There is nowhere else to go.

VADER: There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. You do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover you power. Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.

LUKE: I'll never join you!

VADER: If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.

LUKE: He told me enough! He told me you killed him.

VADER: No! Obi-Wan lied to you. I am your father.

Shocked, Luke looks at Vader in utter disbelief.

LUKE: No. No. That's not true! That's…impossible!

VADER: Search your feelings. You will know it to be true.

LUKE: No! No! No!

VADER: Luke. You can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and we can rule the galaxy as father and son.

Luke looks down from the gantry platform. There is no way to escape.

VADER: Come with me. It's the only way.

Vader puts away his sword and holds his hand out to Luke. The force comes over Luke in a way he has never experienced. He realizes it is the dark side of the force. He feels it drawing him, giving him strength. He notices the pain in his right arm is feeding this power. Luke makes his decision. In the next instant he steps toward Vader reaching out with His left hand. Vader grabs Luke and pulls him back on the gantry platform.

The Dark Lord looks down at Luke. A smile, hidden by the mask he wears, crosses his face.

LUKE: Father, why didn't Ben tell me?

VADER: He knew it to be your destiny. Come my son, there is much for you to learn.


INTERIOR: IMPERIAL STARDESTROYER -- MEDICAL CENTER

Luke watches as the medical droid works on his hand.

Luke looks down at the metallic prosthesis which has been attached to his wrist. The medical droid makes some adjustments in a tiny electronic unit; then sends small jolt through each one of Luke's cybernetic fingers. The sensation, which would make most people twitch, is exhilarating.

MEDICAL DROID: Do you wish the prosthesis to be covered with epidermal synthetic sir?

LUKE: No. That won’t be necessary.

MEDICAL DROID: As you wish sir.

As Luke stands up Vader enters the room. Luke turns and immediately drops to his knee, bowing his head.

LUKE: Hello father.

VADER: Luke, we must move quickly. Now that you have accepted your destiny and have become my apprentice you must begin your training. Come with me.


INTERIOR: IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER – VADER’S PRIVATE COMMAND CENTER

Three months ago Luke Skywalker chose to follow the dark side of the force. To follow Darth Vader. To follow his father.

Luke senses Vader coming. When Vader enters the room he finds Luke kneeling, awaiting the Dark Lord.

VADER: My son, you have completed your training. Now it is time to rid yourself of all the weakness of your past. The young boy from Tatooine must die and be reborn from the ashes. From this moment on you will no longer be known as Luke Skywalker. You now be known as Darth….Bairn. Rise my son.

The newly ordained Darth Bairn stands before his master.

BAIRN: What is you bidding father?

VADER: You have much work to do my son. There is a new ship for you in the hanger bay called the Sith Shadow. Inside this ship is PR-F8T, a highly sophisticated protocol droid. The droid will assist you in your new assignment. Now, go and begin your work Darth Bairn. I will be in contact.

BAIRN: Yes father.


INTERIOR: SITH SHADOW

It has been nearly six months since Luke Skywalker took the title “Darth Bairn.” He and the protocol now known as “Prophet” have been hard at work eliminating the enemies of the Empire.
BAIRN: Prophet.

PROPHET: Yes Master.

BAIRN: Run through our entire target list. After each name give me the current status on each.

PROPHET: Yes master. Target list status update: Former Republic Senator Mon Mothma – Eliminated by Imperial Operative Darth Bairn. Mon Mothma was killed by lightsaber on Imperial Star Date...

BAIRN: Just give me the short version.

PROPHET: Certainly Master.  Former Republic Senator Mon Mothma – Eliminated. How is that sir?

BAIRN: That will do nicely. Continue

PROPHET: Yes master. Former Imperial Commander Crix Madine – Eliminated. Rebel Alliance Admiral Ackbar – Eliminated.  Protocol Droid Designation C-3PO – Destroyed. Bothan Spynet Operative Borsk Fey'lya – Eliminated. Astromech Droid R2-D2 – Active.  Bounty Hunter Boba Fett – Active. Imperial Operative Mara Jade – Eliminated. Wookiee Fugitive Chewbacca – Active. Captain Han Solo – Active. Princess Leia Organa – Eliminated. Commander Rogue Squadron Wedge Antilles – Eliminated. Jedi Master Yoda – Active. Former Cloud City Administrator Lando Calrissian – Eliminated. Attempting to uplink to Imperial Intel...Sir, there is a high priority incoming transmission from Lord Vader.

BAIRN: Open a channel.

Bairn moves toward the holoprojector and kneels on the circular pad. A life-size holographic image of Darth Vader appears before him.

BAIRN: What is thy bidding father?

The Saga Continues…

Some of you may be wondering why I chose Darth Bairn. The word BAIRN : noun  is pronounced \?bern\. It is defined in Merriam-Webster's as child with a Scottish origin.

Since Luke was the child of Darth Vader, I thought it was fitting. Plus of all the words I checked, that was the best one that went with DARTH.

Great take on a familiar character!  Love the Infinities storyline; your writing isn't as bad as you might think Mungo.  Wouldn't it have been cool to see this version of events play out after TESB?  I'd pay good money to see Luke hunt down his former friends on the big screen!   >:D

Darth Blight (birth name: Rik Ossweth) was a Sith Lord in the line of Darth Bane's Order of the Sith Lords. His rule fell at some point between that of Darth Vectivus and Darth Plagueis. Although he was born blind, Ossweth overcame his weakness by allowing the force to be his eyes. He began his rise to power when he became the youngest student ever to slay his master and achieve Sith Master. He then took the name Darth Blight. Blight was not only an excellent swordsman, but also extremely intelligent.

Title: Tor-An Zoor - A Gray Jedi of The Old Republic
Post by: Mungo Baobab on February 22, 2011, 07:27:49 PM
Master Tor-An Zoor was a Old Republic Jedi and would probably be considered a moderately gray Jedi. Although he did not always follow the letter of the law with the Jedi Council, they considered him a dependable Master. Many Jedi believed he should have be on the Council. Zoor carried a blaster that was a gift to him from a Republic Senator because he believed that sometimes a blaster "came in handy when dealing with the scum of the universe."

Mungo, I picked up the same fig...as well as a "Frost Warrior".  These Thor figs have great customizing potential; I haven't opened/played around with it yet, so I don't know if the ball-jointed heads are removable.  If they are, then I might try swapping it on another one of my WIP's.  The Frost Warrior kinda reminds me of a Massassi warrior...   I'm interested to see what you've got cooked up for these figs!

Title: Mungo's Daughter's Custom Female Jedi
Post by: Mungo Baobab on February 26, 2011, 06:49:14 PM
OK...I have to take a moment to be a uber-proud dad here and show off something my little girl put together. Yes, I said little girl.

A little history: I am the dad of two little girls who actually enjoy Star Wars. They were introduced to the SW universe through the Droids cartoon. Their favorite story arc is that of Mungo Baobab, C-3P0 and R2-D2, hence my reason for choosing the name MUNGO BAOBAB. You guessed it, I chose it simply because my little ones loved watching that story.

Today, my six year old daughter asked if she could build a Star Wars figure. So, this afternoon I sat down with her and she picked out each and every part. I promise I didn't persuade her in any way. Come to think of it, every time I made a suggestion, she totally brushed it off and did her own thing. To be honest, I have had these pieces in my box for a while trying to think of something to do with them.  Today she came up with a pretty good selection of parts (right down to the Yoda lightsaber) for her custom in about 20 minutes.

I assembled the pieces and now the only thing I have left is to paint a few details she asked for. However, I just couldn't wait to share it with everyone. I will post the final product pics as well, but now I will shut up and show off her creation.

Title: Jedi Tanok Gith
Post by: Mungo Baobab on February 27, 2011, 04:35:37 AM
Tanok Gith was a Jedi of the old republic from 985 BBY to 873 BBY. He lived his later years during a time when a great deal of legalism was present in those on the Council. After centuries of wars that seem to divide the republic and the Jedi the council thought it was time to crack down on the ways of the order to prevent more division and fighting. Many thought the council was being too dictatorial and leading the Jedi down the path away from the will of the force. The council assured those in the Jedi order that this was the will of the force and began their push to cleanse the order of dissent. At first it was little changes that seemed insignificant. However, they then became more aggressive. Those Jedi who didn’t abide by these mandates from the council were often frowned up and their actions were closely scrutinized. One such mandate that really stirred up argument was regarding that of a Jedi’s lightsaber. Certain crystal colors were accepted, but anything too close to Sith color met with disapproval. Gith’s lightsaber was extremely special to him. The focusing crystal he used was a gift from a very old man he had saved from being beat to death on the streets of Coruscant. Even though the young Jedi told the man there was no need for gifts, the old man insisted. After studying the crystal carefully he placed it in his lightsaber. The blade was a blood red. Tanok Gith refused to remove the crystal when criticized. He felt the color reminded him of why the Jedi were a part of the universe to help those in need. Although this decisions created difficulty throughout his life, Gith carried the blade until he died at the age of 112.

OK...the new Jedi Tanok Gith is the Loki from the new THOR toy line. I basically added the soft goods under the robe. Simply a small piece added to the front. The lightsaber is that of POTJ the Adi Gallia.  I added a piece of scrap of leather looking material around the waste for a belt. After that, I added some random pouches that I had cut off of other belts. It was then basically complete. I didn't do more because after further inspection, these figures look as if they may be extremely hard to disassemble without damaging them. Anyway, I liked the end result. Thanks for all the compliments.

Title: Gand Jedi Knight of the Old Republic
Post by: Mungo Baobab on March 07, 2011, 04:47:21 PM
Jedi Knight Lydan Torrust

"Gands were a sentient species of an insect genus that evolved on the ammonia-gas planet Gand. Several physical varieties existed, but there were two main sub-species of Gands: those with lungs and those without lungs. Gands with lungs were adapted to Gand's atmosphere, but like Kel Dors, they required special breathing gear if they wanted to leave Gand to manage potentially-poisonous off-world gas mixtures." (Wookieepedia) Jedi Knight Torrust required special breathing equipment. However, instead of the bulky apperatus that most Gands wore, Torrust had a small breathing filter surgically attached. This gave him the ability to breath in any atmosphere.

Torrust carried a staff saber that had quite a significant story of it's own.  When Torrust was a Padawan, he actually carried two lightsabers. The hilts were a bit shorter than normal. The blades were a bright green and about 2/3 the size of a normal blade.  At one point, Torrust and his Master were sent to a planet in the outer rim to settle a dispute between a group of farmers and planetary natives. Torrust's master was killed by an assassin during the mediation. The council gave the negotiations over to Torrust stating that he already had and established relationship with both parties. Torrust, although young, eventually won the respect of both parties and brokered a successful agreement between the farmers and the natives.  As he was preparing to leave, the native  Chief presented Torrust with a gift, his personal war staff. The farmer's lead negotiator presented Lydan with a gift as well, a deep blue diamond, which had been found while digging a well. In return, Torrust presented each of them with one of his lightsabers to help them remember the agreement to live peacefully.

On the return trip to Coruscant, Torrust used the war staff and the diamond and made the staff saber. When he stood before the Jedi Council Lydan Torrust was told he would begin the trials. Passing the trials, he was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight.

Both these guys look great; I really like the Gand jedi though.  I love the unique features you put into your custom sabers.  Did you use plain string or is it some tackified stuff that is wrapped around the saber staff?
Title: Re: Mungo's Custom Jedi
Post by: Mungo Baobab on March 07, 2011, 07:22:24 PM
Let's see:

Head & Hands: Bespin Guard
Neck: 2 random pieces from other figures glued together and painted to match the head
Torso: Grand Admiral Thrawn (rank insignia removed)
Arms: Wedge Antilles (dress uniform comic pack)
Legs: Jango Fett (the one everyone calls "Apartment Jango")
Feet: Mace Windu
Belt: I believe it was from a ROTS Plo Koon
Lightsaber blade: Mace Windu
Shoulder armor: TPM Gungan warrior
Shoulder armor strap: I have no idea, something I bought out of a 10 cent box at a local collectors shop
Boots: very thin, black leather, wrapped, glued, and washed several times with brown paint
Lower robe: white piece from Galen Marek Jedi robes

Does that help?

That is some multi-colored string (dark brown, brown, and tan) wrapped tightly (and glued) around the handle. Then I used a mixture of white, tan, and flesh tone paints to make a wash and brushed over the string to give it a worn out, dirty look.

Thanks for the compliment, but I have to be honest, on the Gand Jedi, there is paint on the neck and on the ligthsaber.  Glad that you thought it was a NPKB, makes me think I did a good job.

Must have been really lucky last week. I picked up a AOTC Vintage Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Those were the only three I saw. I haven't seen any since. What takes Hasbro SO long? Of course I live in Tennessee, so they may not think us rednecks collect anything. I can say that without sounding offensive because I AM from Tennessee.  ;D

I was looking back at Master Zhain Timal and had to say that my appreciation for this fig grows every time I look at him.  He's not too 'out there', but has a nice clean look (indicative of TOR era) and is very well put-together.  Nice job Mungo!

On another note, I had luck picking up almost two full sets of the AOTC wave: we have a WalMart here that is quite out of the way and it doesn't seem to get the collectors' business like the urban ones do.  All the better for me, I guess!  I get almost every new wave full from this store...

No Jango yet, but not sure I want him anyway.  Grabbed everyone except SBD and Padme: they just do not fit into customizing for me. 
Title: Re: Mungo's Custom Jedi
Post by: Mungo Baobab on March 12, 2011, 11:20:54 AM
Thanks JM.

Yeah, I buy at least one of each Jedi and then buy one or two that I feel that I can use for customizing. Although, if my pocket continue to stay this light, I may not be able to buy anything.  Everything keeps going up and my income seems to stay the same. Anyway, enough of my crying.

Got lucky on Thursday morning: grabbed all of Wave 6 at a local WalMart in SW Ohio.  Seemed like at least 2 full sets of Wave 4 were there, but I already had picked those up a few weeks back at another Wally World.  

When I grabbed that Nikto jedi, I thought: Mungo's gonna have a great time with this one!  He really is one of the top prizes of that wave.  

I'm not a MOC'er, but I'm considering leaving the Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Landing) on the card -- it just looks so much more awesome in person.

Luckily found two Phase I clone troopers: these guys are legit!  Grab as many as you can, whenever you can.  I'm serious!

The lightsaber hilt is actually a piece off a piece of  10 cent toy fodder at a local collectors shop. 

I appreciate the kind words.  I was a bit concerned about this custom because the skin tones don't match one hundred percent. I was thinking it might make it seem kind of cheesy.

Did anyone notice that? Does anyone feel that this is a major issue?

Another part I was not sure about was the size of the head. I wasn't sure if it was too big.

Any thoughts?

Please...I appreciate the tips and advice. Who knows if I find a head that fits better, you never know, this may be updated.

Did anyone notice that? Does anyone feel that this is a major issue?

Another part I was not sure about was the size of the head. I wasn't sure if it was too big.

Any thoughts?

Please...I appreciate the tips and advice. Who knows if I find a head that fits better, you never know, this may be updated.

the neck seems a little long other then that an awesome custom

All points are valid ones. I was going to say the neck was too long but figured you were just going for a quick and fun NPKB. I don't think the head is too small I think it is just the long neck. You could add some type of neck wrap to solv it and the sloppy hasbro paint ap on that figure, or just dremel the head a bit. The 2 tone skin is there but not too much of a distraction for me. I would hit that noggin with some dull cote and it will appear a bit lighter and less glossy. This is not one of your most elaborate customs and seems like a background type figure.

Worked on the neck so it is shorter and looks better. 

LS - Thanks for the info.  The neck wrap is something I may have to think about.  The sloppy paint job on the neck and torso was something I was not really focused on.

I am curious about one thing, if I used dullcote on the head would that make it TOO dull compared to the rest of the skin?

Mungo, have you seen that Nick Fury head with the spot-on Samuel Jackson sculpt (i.e. the one with the eye patch)?  It came in a Toys R Us exclusive Iron Man pack, but looks like it could be an interesting replacement if you ever updated this fig (not saying that it needs to be at all).  Just a thought that crossed my mind...

I've been looking through customs here on the Yards and I love your custom Jedi; I'd love to feature one or more of them in cameos as 3D models in my Tales From The Clone Wars web-comic, if that's alright with you?

EDIT: Here's an example I knocked up of your Chiss, Roth'os Set, if you like it:

It was the most recent Boussh/Leia figure they released (maybe 2010). The head is from the TFU Sith Stalker. The arms are from the CW Kit Fisto, I just cut the forearms to make them shorter. The feet are from Saga Legends Zuckuss. The scarf is from a GI JOE comic pack Tunnel Rat figure. The weapon is from one of the Jabba's palace thugs (IDK which one). Hands a pair of dark skin hands to make it look like brown gloves.

Title: Mungo's Customs - Personal Custom Droid
Post by: Mungo Baobab on May 01, 2011, 12:03:05 PM
Droid Name:  BULK

BULK is a personal custom droid aquired by the Ubese bounty hunter Burrak as a personal protocol and defense droid.

BULK was equipped with the following specifications:
1. AA-1 VerboBrain - The AA-1 was a piece of computing hardware that enabled a droid's cognitive functions and logic processing.
2. TranLang III Communicator module - A late generation communication module incorporating millions of galactic languages, installed in 3PO-series protocol droids and LOM-series protocol droids.
3. Recording unit (audio-recorder)
4. Olfactory Sensors - These sensors provided droids with a sense of smell.
5.  Vocoder - A vocabulator, also known as a vocoder, was a speech synthesizer that was fitted to almost all types of droids that were intended to interact with sentient beings. BULK has a very even toned masculine voice. (think Data from ST:TNG mixed with HAL from 2001)
6.  Dual built-in laser cannon - These wrist blasters were mostly hidden on BULK as if to give him an unarmed appearance.
7.  Rapid Fire Laser Cannon - This removable cannon could be attached to either arm.
8.  Scomp Link - A scomp link was typically an astromech droid accessory that allowed the droid to plug into computers, via a computer terminal, and other equipment. It consisted of an extendable arm with a rotating tip. Jerimyah configured one of BULK's fingers on each hand to be a usable Scomp Link.

Parts used to build BULK came from the following droid models:
- SD-6 Hulk infantry droid
- Sentinel droid-series
- IG-100 MagnaGuard
-  B2 super battle droid
- Astro droid series
- 3PO protocol droid series

It was a Cobra Commander figure of some sort. It was a loose figure I picked up in a local collectors shop. However, when I saw it, I knew it would work.

I understand your comment. I didn't paint any of the robes. I simply added more articulated legs.  I think it's the color of the boots that throws it off a bit. I have decided that at some point, if and when I am able to find a better pair of boots, I may swap them.

Hey, comments always appreciated.

You did great! Where's the purple Jango from? I'd read complaints about the color being off on one of the recent versions but never saw which one.

The repainted helmet and strange color of the original figure really makes this look like a whole new character and not just another Jango. I like it!

Thanks Dan. I know the color doesn't match perfectly, but I tried my best. This Jango was one of the Geonosis two packs. Again, thanks for the compliments.

Even if you didn't match the same shade spot on, the helmet color still goes with it quite well.

When I run into situations like this, I tend to use the new color in a few spots across the figure to tie everything together.

Again, I think it came out quite well!

I like that you used a method that shows us the flesh literally peeling off his body; great technique!

I think I prefer your Sion over others I've seen just because of this slight, but significant little detail...

What approach did you take to achieve that result in the look of his flesh?
Title: Re: Mungo's Customs - Darth Sion - Updated 05/19/11
Post by: Mungo Baobab on May 21, 2011, 05:20:29 PM
Thanks for all the kind words. To be honest, this is a Sith Evolutions Darth Maul, well all but the right lower arm. I used my dremmel and basically went over the entire torso reeking havoc on the body. I cleaned off the dust and tried remove more of the hanging debris, however when I started painting, I notice how it began looking as if it was decaying flesh. For my paint color I used flesh tone, black and white. The more I painted the better it looked IMHO.

Again, this is one of several Sith that I really like.

Droid Name: RIVET

"It wouldn't surprise me if I used nearly a million rivets piecing that blasted droid together!" - Jerimyah Olsten (again, more on this guy to come, I promise)

Jerimyah pieced RIVET together from several different droids just like BULK. BULK and RIVET form a great team. RIVET can perform many of the same functions like that of and astromech droid, but can also do so much more.

Han: And I shall call him Mini Me. Come Mini Me.

Han and Mini Me sit in look alike chairs.

Han notices something as he strokes Chewbacca's main.

Han: Uh, Mini Me. We don't nibble on Mini Chewie. We pet Chewie, we don't bite him.

Mini Me responds in a hand signal.

Han: No, not even a little nibble.

Han: GET ME THE EMPEROR OF THE GALACTIC EMPIRE!

Emperor on screen: What is it?!

Han: Mr. Emperor, in exactly 2 hours I will blow up Coruscant with my "Death Star" if you don't give me Agillion, bigillion credits.

No worries JMT. If you go to http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page and look up any of those names you can find out more info about each character. They are all, more or less, from the Droids cartoons back in the 80s.

I love 80s cartoons! Stumbled across this guy's work and he's done some of the characters you have listed above, though I think his paint apps are a bit crude and he doesn't go as far as he could to make his figures and their different parts look like they all belong to the same figure, or even look exactly like the character's they're based on. Some neat ideas for the custom mill though :)

To be honest this is not one of my best figures. The sealer I am using at this time is Krylon and even though it says Matte...it still shines. Anyway, thanks for looking.

At the sacking of Coruscant (3653 BBY) Jedi Knight Qieru Vaznao's former master and lifelong friend were killed in the battle in the Jedi Temple. Fed up with endless discussion and no plan in sight of striking back at the Sith Empire Qieru leaves the Jedi Order behind to become a sith hunter. Shortly after starting off hunting with only a vibro-sword, Vaznao made his first kill. Realizing he may need more than just his high-tech sword he kept the sith's lightsaber. Now rumors of this sith hunter are spreading through the empire and even some of those beholden to the dark side fear for their life.

Name:  Darth Mortuus
Homeworld:  Dromund Kaas
Species:  Human
Gender:  Male
Cybernetics:  Face Plate
Era:  The Old Republic
Affiliation:  Sith Empire

Darth Mortuus was proficient in the use of the lightsaber, especially his custom saber staff.   Mortuus was physically very strong. In one instance, he grabbed the neck of a fellow sith wih single hand, lifted him up from the ground, and squeezed him to death.  With the aid of the force, Mortuus then tossed the lifeless body aside.

Well if you have a specific customizer in mind for who you'd like to make it, PM them if you know them well enough. Or if you don't mind who does the project post about what your idea(s) are for the figure(s) you want done and the budget you're willing to pay, or what you can offer in trade. I do a lot of free stuff or stuff for trade. I think cash makes things awkward sometimes.

Darth Tenebrous, also known as Rugess Nome, was a male Bith and a Dark Lord of the Sith. In his public persona Rugess Nome, he was a legendary artisanal starship designer with a reputation spanning the galaxy. However, as the Sith Lord Darth Tenebrous, he was a scientific mastermind, possessed of a calculating intellect with an obsession on shaping the future, and the master of Darth Plagueis and Darth Venamis.

@ Clone10 - Thanks for the kind words

@ Sprywalker - As always, it is an honor to have complements from you.

@ Mandolore the Skepsis - When I read your comment, I snorted. Thanks!

@ Tamer - Thanks for your encouragement and as always for posting my fig on the FP, especially when there are so many other better customizers than myself. Again, thank you!

@ Jedi Merc - Thank you for stopping in and taking a look. It is much appreciated

@ Jedi Minstrel - I thought about doing a Bith Sith a while back before I read the novel. To be honest, I wanted to make one more or less because it rhymes. BITH SITH!!!

1st off on the poll,I too voted for Jedi master Dooku.His origin story would be a good way to go.I'd like to see him turn from a powerfull Jedi to sith lord.Personally I don't ever want a Yoda origin story,I don't want anyone to touch that with a ten foot pole,and I don't think anyone would,or could.Your sith lord is cool mungo,although Biths aren't really intimidating sith lords.I would have liked to have seen some paint apps on his head to make him more menacing,or to flush out the detail in his face with some drybrushing.Just an artists obsevation,and star wars fans personal opinions. ;D Keep up the good work my friend.

I need some advice. Never sculpted much and want it to smooth well, but also not be rock hard and break. Needs to be solid, but flexible. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Blue/Yellow Epoxy (Greenstuff) will achieve the consistency you are looking for.

I don't think Greenstuff (found at stores that sell Games Workshop products) will be flexible enough for you. You can try by mixing more parts yellow than blue (or v.v.) but I haven't tried that yet.

Perhaps you could also give Super Bendy Sculpey a try.

Any hobby store will carry the stuff usually (hobby stores that sell models, not the hobby stores that are for women...but they might). As for a brand...any brand of the stuff will do.
More yellow will make the epoxy more sticky to work with and more apt to leave imperfections in your sculpt (fingerprints, etc)...more blue will make it a more stiff and is easier to smooth, but is more difficult to fill gaps as it isn't as malleable. Once dry it is still slightly flexible where as Milliput drys like concrete.

Check Remco's (Incom) tutorial on how to sculpt dreadlocks - I also have a few pics of dreads posted there... I'm not familiar w/ Super Bendy Sculpey - but, if U just experiment w/ different media, methods & mixtures, I'm sure U can produce satisfactory results for lekku :)

Okay so I have tried Super Sculpey "bendy" and found that it works to a certain degree but will rip and tear if you move or bend it too much. I even placed small wire into it and tried to make it more poseable but same thing happens. I would go with the Kneadatite (GreenStuff) I have had really good results with it being slightly flexable when dry, I have placed wire inside to allow for a poseable structure which does work if its thin enough. A mix of more yellow to blue will provide a less rigid sculpt, I would create your "base" sculpt with that mix and wait for it to cure then sand it down. You can always touch up any errors with more putty. I would still watch out for rips and tears if you make the leku too thin and plan on moving it alot. If you want any tips with this stuff just PM me, I have used alot of other sculpting products too.

Post by: sith_fire30 on May 22, 2012, 05:42:43 PM
I use Aves FIXIT to sculpt my lekku - Not bendy at all but FIXIT can capture small details and replicates the folds of skin very well. When you wait for the material to cure a couple hours before bending the sculpted lekku into the position you desire, the bends will look like creased skin or "ripples" more like it. Again, the sculpt is static though.

Use an armiture coming from head and green stuff. It will work fine...mix more yellow than blue...DO NOT USE SCULPIE.
Title: Mungo's Customs - Update 6/19/12 - Jedi Master Nu Kwonn
Post by: Mungo Baobab on June 19, 2012, 01:44:47 PM
Master Nu Kwonn

The Bio: Very little is known about Master Kwonn's origins. In fact his history is almost as much a mystery as that of Master Yoda.  Through medical studies it is believed that Nu Kwonn was born around 217 years before the beginning of the Clone Wars.  Nu Kwonn was abandoned as an infant into the custody of a Jedi Knight conducting border dispute talks in the outer rim. It was obvious the child was force sensitive. So the young Knight had compassion on the infant and returned to Coruscant. When he brought the reptilian infant for species identification an amazing discovery was found. Genetic testing revealed the infant's DNA was a mixture of of human, Quarren, Kel Dor, Kaleesh, Nautolan, Praethos, and Falleen.  The suspicion of the council was that a genetic science group was experimenting and were surprised when the genetic life form was force sensitive. Unsure of what to do with the child they left it with the only person they thought might be able to raise the child, a Jedi.  Nu Kwonn is a brave, intelligent, dedicated Jedi and a fierce warrior. Separatists beware!

The Lightsaber: Custom

The Concept: The design was inspired by two figures, neither of which I actually own. The first was the Star Wars Clone Non-Animated Kit Fisto Action Figure and the second is the Star Wars Legacy Collection QUARREN SOLDIER.

The Name: I was really wanting this character to have a mysterious nature and background and struggled in figuring out a name until it hit me. For those who have not picked up on it yet, the name NU KWONN is the result of mixing up the letters of the word "UNKNOWN."

Title: Mungo's Customs - Wave 5 Group Purchase
Post by: Mungo Baobab on July 08, 2012, 05:54:40 PM
After seeing Star Wars Action Figures 2012 Vintage Wave 5: on the front page, I had an idea. I am sure money is tight with many of us. Would there be 1, 2, 3, or more people willing to go in on a wave set. Each person pays for the number of figures they want (for example - the $129.99 EE price divided by 12 = 10.83 ea.  If a person wanted 3 figures that persons share would be 32.49, plus a little for shipping and then additional shipping after the package arrived).

The figures I am seeking out of this wave are the following

- VC96 Darth Malgus (The Old Republic, Expanded Universe)
- Starkiller (Vader's Apprentice)
- Shae Vizla (The Old Republic, Expanded Universe)

I would happy to take charge of the group purchase if anyone is interested in going this route. Again, we can have as many people as would like go together.

I will only move on this idea if I have a message from each person with the figure(s) they would like. When all 12 are spoken for, then we will then deal with the money part.

Anyway, it was just a thought.

It is a nice idea Mungo, but in addition to paying a bit more per figure you would then have to pay another shipping figure to get it from your place to the other person. That is one reason the ebayers, amazoners, and etailers charge more for the better figures. They loose their bacon on the repacks so they try to sort it out by charging fourty bucks for the Malgus. Daggone, did I just side with the etailers?

It's OK Tamer. I understand.

I hope to get back to customizing some time soon. But, I haven't be able to afford any new figures lately. Plus I have a little one on the way...due really any day. So, with that being said, it could be a while before I get back in to the swing of things.

Well with all the work and time it takes for a new little one, I have very little time to customize, however, I have found a bit of time to throw one new figure together.

Story:

Cade Heth is what most people would call a super-genius. At the standard age of 9 he had completed a engineering degree at the Republic University. By the age of 14 he was fully certified to practice medicine. and by the age of 19 he was serving as a Republic research assistant on a science station near Coruscant. Then came the clone wars. While working at the science station Heth discovered a terrible truth, the group to which he was assigned  was working on biological weapons. In moment of anger, Cade programmed the computer to erase all research on this project. Cade was arrested and sentenced to prison for treason, however, the real architect behind this project, Darth Sidious, felt a more serious punishment was required and had Heth's prison ship attacked. The ship crashed on the junk planet Lotho Minor. Everyone on the ship died except for Heth. The once handsome young genius now had a severely broken body. However, this young genius, trained in medicine and engineering, had the knowledge to rebuild himself. Although he longer retains his youthful good looks, he is still extremely intelligent and very deadly. He now simply calls himself "Heth" and makes his living as a bounty hunter.

*I put this guy together over serveral days. The prosthetics are built out of random pieces of fodder painted to look old. I thought it turned out well. Share your thoughts. I may try to reshoot the pics soon because I am not certain I like the way they turned out. Anyway...enjoy!

The claw is made up of a CW 3-PO type droid leg and a the claw from a Crysis figure. The rest is molded and painted to look trashed.

Thanks WB. The cyborg leg has pieces from 4 different characters and the arm has parts from two characters and some molding on my part. And even the non-cyborg left arm is made up from 4 different characters. I don't have a lot of fodder these days so I started piecing things together which is where I came up with this guy!

@ GhostSkull - The boot on the other leg was molded by me. It didn't turn out EXACTLY how I wanted it too, but at a certain point, I just decided to go with it and paint it black.

After all the news from the 2013 Toy Fair, I would have to say that I am truly bummed out. It looks as if we will not see anymore highly articulated figures in the Star Wars line (that is if I am interpreting the reports correctly). It also looks as if Hasbro is abandoning this Clone Wars line as well (again, if I have understood the reports accurately).  Why do this? The collectors and fans have been begging for years for high articulation, background and EU characters. What do they then give us in 2013. Characters they have made many times over with pitiful vintage style articulation. Maybe it is just me, but I can hardly see the logic behind this move. What have we the fans and collectors done to be overlooked and ignored?

I am sorry to vent like this to everyone, but if anyone has any words of encouragement, if I have misunderstood the reports, or just missed something totally, I would totally appreciate any comments or information.

For the most part you are right, but the regular Black Line (3 and 3/4) is supposed to have more detail and more than 5 poa. For the most part those coming now are the ones we saw for the Legacy 2 line up, but supposedly 50 new figures in the following year if things improve from what I have gleaned in my travels. But yes, for the most part pretty depressing.

I hear you Mungo but after last year, I am used to it by now. Perhaps that was their strategy in the first place. Being new to doing sw customs using joes, I am actually excited as my collecting focus has changed it seems to joes and custom fodder and making customs is truly a wonderful thing. Think of all of the hard to find figures from last year. Nothing is more rare and special than something that you created yourself.

I feel your pain man.

I'm pretty disappointed by the news too. The only figure i'm hyped about is Mara Jade.  I'm more or less shocked they didn't showcase any Clone Wars stuff.

I've been shifting my collecting and customizing to GI Joe...I never thought i would ever say that. But it seems Star Wars is dying a slow death with me, and GI Joe is quickly filling that void.

What's sad is that in 2015 when EVII is released, Hasbro will want to release all these new figures and will just assume we will be willing to buy the something THEY choose. I never try to advocate a boycott, but I hope this is the worst year ever for Hasbro's sales in SW toys. Maybe if they are hit in the pocket book, they will take a long hard look at the product they sell and what can be done to make it better.

I totally agree with you wanting to hit Hasbro where it hurts to send a message, but I also think that if they saw a reduction in purchases, we'd just simply get LESS of what they're already going to try to force-feed us: 5 POA crap

Please don't take this is a comment on your views (at all); this is just how I feel toward Hasbro right now.   :(

It has been a while since I have posted a new custom, but this is one I posted yesterday (10/26/13) over a Yakface.com for the "Yakfinities #50 - THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY" contest.


Tal-Es Kyat was a palace guard/enforcer for Jabba Desilijic Tiure, better known as Jabba the Hutt. Fortunately for him he wasn't on the Sail Barge when they took Skywalker and his companions to be cast in to the Great Pit of Carkoon, to be fed to the fearsome Sarlacc. After Jabba's demise, he simply drifted back in to Tatooine's low-life society and eventually settled in to a career in smuggling.

Thanks Spry. However, I actually had to paint the neck with 3 different colors to get the right color combination.  The arms are from Dr. Evazan, the hands and head are from the MIB "Stalk Eyes" figure. The mele weapon is the blade with a piece of dowel for the handle with wraps at the top and bottom. Then the belt is a bunch of pouches. The feet are from another figure...can't remember which one. It doesn't look that much different, but there are a lot of little changes. Even the pistol is a random extra pistol I had laying around.

Sorry, for the long reply. I appreciate the compliments as always. With so many talented people out there making customs, sometimes I feel my work is a bit sub-standard.

Anyway, I wish this had been a simple head swap...lol.

This is my 2nd Yakfinities #50 - THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY - Contest entry. Posted it earlier today over a Yakface.com, but wanted to share it here with all of you at the yards.

Jerimyah Calwell is a moisture farmer on Tatooine. He was in Mos Eisley the day Ben, Luke, and the droids came to the cantina. Kenobi saved Calwell's life when he was attacked by Tuskens. If not for Ben, Jerimyah claims he would have lost more than his leg.

BACKSTORY
It was early morning. I was checking on a group of vaporators to the south. I am usually pretty aware of my surroundings, but I had the audio-net turned up in my speeder listening to some music. All of the sudden a group of Tuskens came out of nowhere. It was a small group of ‘em, a total of six. When I laid eyes on the first one, I ran toward my speeder. I got between my speeder and a rock formation for cover, drew my blaster and got ready for a fight. One of them fired first. The windshield of my speeder shattered when it was struck by a slug. I snapped off one shot and one fell. I squeezed off another round and down went a second. What I didn’t know is that even though initially saw six of ‘em there was a seventh scoundrel ridin’ on a bantha. He came from my right and steered the big animal right in to my speeder. I tried to move, but wasn’t fast enough. My leg was pinned between the rock and the speeder. The Tusken on the bantha slid out of his saddle and the five of them surrounded my speeder. Gaffi sticks raised, I thought it was over. I had dropped my blaster and couldn’t reach it. I closed my eyes tight and raised my arms hoping in some way they would save me from being killed. Then the air was filled with a loud shrill. It was a Krayt Dragon. If things were bad before, they just got increasingly worse. Those savages were looking in every direction as they ran off, but I was relieved for only a second. I heard movement from behind the rocks and my heart nearly stopped. I knew I was about to be dragon food. Once again, I closed my eyes tightly holding my breath. Readying myself to meet death.

[Male Voice] – Hello there? It looks as if your party is over. All your guests seem to be running home.

I slowly opened my eyes and exhaled in relief.

[Jerimyah Calwell] – Ben Kenobi! What are you doing out here you old wizard?

Ben grinned through his white beard.

[Kenobi] – I was out taking a morning stroll through the desert when I heard your little party. I saw that a bit of a ruckus had begun and thought I could help sort things out.

[Calwell] – Oh, that. It seems they didn’t like my taste in music. I wanted to listen to the “Screaming Jawas” and they wanted to hear “The Palpatones.”

[Kenobi] – Oh. I would have to agree with you, the “Screaming Jawas” are definitely the better group. However, I have always preferred the “Space Monkeys” myself.

We both laughed and then wave of pain washed over me. It was my leg.

[Calwell] - Ben, I think I could use a hand.

[Kenobi] – Yes, well, we better get you to a doctor.

Kenobi some how moved the speeder that had me pinned to the rock and the lifted me in to the speeder. The next thing I knew he was driving me to the doctor over in Anchorhead. I was in and out of consciousness all the way to there. We barely got in the door and I totally blacked out. From what the doctor told me, old Ben stayed right there with me until I was stabilized. Yeah, if it weren’t for that crazy old wizard, I would have lost more than my leg that day.

When we get done loading the supplies we will head over to Chalmun's. I’ll introduce you guys to Ben. Drinks are on me!

just had a post in the break room on this. I don't think we have time to get it off the ground for this year, but I am definitely gonna get a staffer on this for next year. Like I said in the other thread, I am glad to hear there is still an interest in this. Unfortunately from a coordinating stand point there is always someone who gets their feelings hurt or doesn't get their gift or some sort of issue, so I usually say never again, but thats no reason to spoil the fun for the community at large.

Very nice Mungo, you might want to put that in the Target or latest SW Purchases thread. That is one elusive figure.

Love building the droids at Disney! Wish they would include all build-a-droids and not just astromechs.

How cool was the Star Tours ride!!!

Star Tours was awesome. Rode it twice. Best ride there by far. Oh I wish they would sell these as kits. It would be awesome. They could release a new kit every 6 months. Would be SO awesome.

It is bumming me out that they are putting all the great EU they established out to pasture.

I hear that. I hope as the new movies come out that more of those stories that don't affect the canon will be reattached aas canon. We shall see.

I agree. I hope we get to see Thrawn even if they don't make the storyline about him. Fingers crossed.

Seeing a pic of Max Von Sadow I pictured him in my mind as an older version of Thrawn. Just never know what they are gonna give us.
