Dang that looks great! It's really coming along! This is going to be an awesome contest!!! bbfetCheers bud.......I'm on a roll this month
good job on the mods. that head turned out great!Really am chuffed to bits with the end product,much better than the Shira Brie head I was going to use.
What a great idea for a contest! I'd love to be able to make one of the Neimoidians from TCW (maybe Sib Canay? I have an extra Daultay Dofine lying around).
Just got another donor figure from the post depot I missed signing for yesterday,number 5 now a wip and coming together well....watch this space ;)
Like LE, I am a judge and not able to win this one, like I want to win my own parts prize anyways. I will jump on the bandwagon by showing a WIP shot of a helmet I am working on for a realistic tvc Umbra arc Phase 2 501st arf trooper. I still have plenty of touch ups to do on the white and black, the blue 501st markings, and the cannon brown to the cheek parts of the helmet. My plan is to slap this onto some version of a removable helmet 501st trooper and match the blue on the helmet to the blue on the clone. I may paint up an rots atrt to pose him with.I believe a good clone for this helmet will be the rots tactical ops trooper.....Vaders legion. Removable helmet,super articulated and a touch of mud on his boots

Can I still enter a figure if I was planning on doing and had all the parts for if I got them before the contest but finished the figure after it started?rules state it cant have been posted anywhere before the it is posted in the contest thread. at leas that is how i interpret them. I noticed you had posted a massif handler in your own thread and wondered why you didnt enter it in the contest.
i will have to watch the episodes again Clint but i am fairly sure the cheek armour is grey (but do anything til ive checked)I thought they were brown like the rots atrt driver. Grey would look so much prettier.
Clonehead: The 501st ARF helmet looks great! Love the progress being made here!Thanks,glad ya like it,she's looking good so far.
Benjani: That is not only the top figure on my list of what I wish Hasbro's should've done, but it is also one of the best-looking custom CW figs out there. I've always loved the Ventress character and this is by far the best outfit for her. Awesome, awesome work!
With some help from jay and a little more research of my own, I upgraded the phase 2 arf helmet markings to be more accurate. Turns out there was part of a stripe on the nose and even a bit above the visor below the helmet brim. I still cant get a good example shot of the cheek color though. I could have sworn it was brown.
thanks again, Jay, for your help with this one. If you members didnt know, Jay is the one to ask when you have any questions about the Clone Wars series, especially the clones, I would, think.

Stellar work guys! I LOVE that Ventress! Really nice work on that helmet sculpt!ty, buddy. i figure he fits the bill. Had Hasbro made one of those, I may even have pulled the trigger on an internet purchase of one since I know I wouldn't have seen one in a brick and mortar store.
Clint that Clone looks fantastic!
did you get the images i sent you Clint?I did, Jay, I had mentioned it in an earlier post. Thanks again. I still cant tell about the cheek color from your shots and one that I found. That darned red light in the gunship isnt helping one bit and the other ones are too foggy to tell. Seems I remember the brown but cant find proof.

Thanks for the help, I watched the trailer this morning and still am leaning towards brown.Here's a screenshot with modified contrast and brightness from the standard shot
Looks really amanzing that diorama and the ARF Trooper 501st Legion is awesomeTa very much,Might do a bit more on it today.......for once,nothing to do today or tomorrow :o
All great entries,good examples of bad hasbro choices. Mandalorian warriors,pre vizsla,mandalorian police released but no leader of mandalore Satine. Crazy people
Just come across a spare admiral yularen,minor surgery to the rank insignia......head swap and a jango headset,and it becomes a republic naval clone officer.
That douchesse is top notch
Nice KC. Time to take ole Sib to the front page.
Nice work on the neimodian looks great another good entry
So many great figures rolling in! Kweh, that is a very nice job on that Nemodian. Mandolore, very nice work on the Dutchess, Gregor and Pilot! Benjani, awesome figures and I love the diorama!
Do Clone Wars Figures in Real Style count as new figures? Cause iam working on a real style Commander Wolffe and would like to post it here. ^^they are accepted, yes. Didnt you see mine?
Quick question can the final product be mounted on cards?i don't mind, let's see what spry says.
that is one heck of a preview!
this is me and i'm throwing my hat in the ring ..I want one! Darn u Hasbro!

Holy smokes, those are pretty cool! I especially like the temple guardian.
Magnificent clones!!
yep, we have seen what would have been a stellar year worth of releases here.Magnificent clones!!
Is anyone besides me just shaking their had at the figures we may never ever see from Hasbro. These latest clone additions are fantastic!
Nice kelken. I could do a day's worth of front page entries just from the wonderful entries here.
Folks, please do not forget that this thread is just to your pictures. To officially enter you need to email me one picture of your creation. That would be to tamer@imperialshipyards.net!
Stunning entries everyone! Just look at how bad Hasbro is BLOWING IT!

Thanks Clint. And don't forget you only get one picture so if you have more than one figure do a group picture.
OK, so here's my Bo-katan...definitely my favorite CW character that will never see the light of day.
And my "Clan Maul" Mandalorian...

Sweet! The helmet came out beautifully. Katan is also on the top of my To Do list.
1. Bo Kataan
2. Bounty Hunter Ventress.
3. Lats Razzi.
4. C21 Highsinger.
all of these entry's are superb ! Shawn i think it's safe to say we are seeing a new breed of Clone Wars customiser and they have a lot more talent than me mate .
Ah cool, than i will be making some changes/additions to Wolffe and Keeli. :)

/agree :D
But i would add Captain Keeli, any Nighsister and Dengar to the list.
Folks I know I am starting to sound like a broken record here, but posting a picture in here does not mean you are entered. You need to pm or email me one picture of your choice (make it a group picture if you have more than one figure) and then make sure you see it show up in the voting thread. I am trying to stay on top of this daily so you should know no later than the end of the day if your figure is entered. I see a lot of great customs in here that haven't yet sent me an image to use for the official entry.Hey Shawn, my group pic/official entry should be coming shortly. Sorry about the delay, my daughter decided to hide the USB cable for my camera and I just found it this morning. Gotta love kids.

Hopefully I can get a few more done before the deadline, but for now I present Jedi Master and the head of Temple Security Cin Drallig and a Jedi Temple Guardian!Kelchen

See if any hobby stores in your area sell Plastruct products. They make 2.4 mm diameter clear, fluorescent tinted plastic rods which make great custom lightsabers. Just give the rod a really fine sanding, and they catch the light and seem to glow. Catalogue # FARG-3H for yellow green. They come in blue, red and yellow. Sorry, I dont have a link.
