August Custom Action Figure Contest, Sith Style
« on: July 31, 2011, 06:14:35 PM »

Announcing the August action figure custom contest, create a Sith Lord or Apprentice.







The contest begins August 1 and end August 31 at 12PM EST. This has to be an all new custom made by you and not posted any where before. Feel free to use any 3 3/4 inch figure line you like. One entry per person and you do have to be a member here at the Yards. You may submit 5 photos in your post that must state "this is my entry". The photo's can not have any photo shop elements in them that alters your figure. Also feel free to make a small base or customize a small stand but don't allow it to grow into a diorama. If you want to show WIP pics as you go post them in this thread for motivation and discussing ideas. The Day that the contest ends there will be a voting thread created and members can vote for 1 week as to their favorite creation. In the event of a tie we will create a tie breaker voting thread. The prize this time is the great feeling we all get when we complete a custom. Also don't forget bragging rights and being held in higher regard among such esteemed colleagues. Have fun guys!



There have been many great Sith related customs here at the yards and the first thing that comest to my mind is some of the great work from Michael Martinez. Below is his vision of Darth Scaborous and serves as inspiration for us all through out this contest.

Cool I'm in I haven't made anything since the Wookielover Comp so this should get the creative juices flowing again me hopes. And I know it says 3-3/4" but are we allowed to make them in 1/6 scale?
