Nice Traya, love the magnets to swivel the sabers. She's quit like my own:

I went with clear rods, and magnets to levitate/control her purple sabers in many combinations, but I really like the magnets on the sides of the lightsabers better than the way I put them on the bottom, better range of motion your way. Though the lips aren't black, your Traya a very well done, and well though out piece.

Thanks Mandalore25! The lips on my Darth Traya custom figure did get painted black after these pics were taken and before this custom figure shipped a few months back to my customer who commissioned her. Your idea for your three lightsabers for your Darth Traya is a good one but I much more prefer the way I made my three lightsabers to more accurately resemble how they "swirl" about Darth Traya in reference pics.

Nice kitbash on the Rebel probe droid.  Those WED TREDWEL droids are hard to find these days.  I haven't figured out what you used for the second droid though.
Beautiful job on Darth Traya.

Thank you Sjefke! I actually have a few of those WED Tredwell droids around here. They are fetching higher and higher prices on ebay these days so they are definitely getting difficult to obtain. The second probe droid actually has a part from of a broken light bulb in it that I used in its creation.

Darth Traya turned out really well. The Ranat sculpt is really magnificent and I absolutely love the pit droid.

I-AM-BOBA-FETT 10-18-2015 Custom Star Wars ZIRO THE HUTT P79
« Reply #1178 on: October 18, 2015, 05:07:19 AM »
Here's a custom ZIRO THE HUTT done in a more realistic style instead of the animated style seen in the Clone Wars show. This is a commissioned piece made for a customer of mine. I resculpted the facial area including the mouth,nose,warts, and eyes. With a hobby razor knife I opened up the areas around the eyes to make the eyes bigger. I sculpted all of his rings, wrist bracelets, and tail bracelets. I handpainted all of the tattoos seen on this entire custom figure. Once all of the tattoos were dry I then painted the yellow tattoos and Ziro's eyes with flourescent paints so that they all glow under blacklight.I custom made Ziro's flower/feather adornment for his headgear from artfoam that I cut and painted. I made Ziro's custom headgear and it has three strong magnets embedded in it that attach to strong magnets that I embedded into three areas of Ziro's head. This allows the headgear to attach/detach easily to/from Ziro the Hutt's head.Once all painting was completed I painted a light blackwash over the entire custom Ziro the Hutt figure. My customer is very happy with the results of his custom Ziro the Hutt figure.

I want to give a shout out to DarthDaddy for sharing information of the paints that he used for his custom Ziro the Hutt figure. Although I ended up using completely different paints for my custom Ziro the Hutt figure I do want to thank DarthDaddy for sharing information one customizer to another.  DH
