What’s your plan for the light source?

What’s your plan for the light source?

I found a small balloon light.  It's about the size of a finger tip.  I have to rework the dome to take full advantage of the light though.
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.

Rework of the softgoods for Tessek.  Slight change to the pattern and construction.



I've been looking at the macro/close-ups of the Photo Real paint technique on the new figures and thought I'd see if I could replicate it by hand.  After six tries I gave up.  I'm calling these pickpocket eyes "good enough."

Tessek's soft goods look outstanding. The paint job on your eyes is really amazing - that's better than "good enough"!

That Tessek is great - Makes me want to try an update, too! 

After browsing your thread again, I remember who I ripped off for my Emperor fig.   ;D

Thanks to Stan and Jaeger45 for making this figure a possibility for my cantina.  Swilla Corey uses a Camie body from the comic two pack, soft goods skirt and a great two piece head cast.

Ms. Corey turned out most excellently (I have a hard time with that first name)! Great paint apps and soft goods.

Time for my yearly update  ;D

Began work on a group project a little while back.



I was looking to replicate the look and feel of Uncle Owen's robe.



Tried a lighter fabric at first...



Eventually settled on a stretch corduroy and sized down a robe pattern that had separate sleeves,




Completing Owen utilizing the comic pack body and an all new Evergrey headsculpt*.



*Hat tip to Stan and Evergrey for making this one happen!
