YakFace: Cast 1:18th melted Vader Helmet 4/14/16 page24
« on: November 02, 2011, 12:54:48 AM »
Well it's been awhile since I last did a custom Star Wars figure but the recent Hasbro toys have been too cool and sparked my interest in the hobby again. So here is what i have been up too, Jabba's Rancor!! So this was made using the TAC Force Unleashed Battle Rancor from Target, I loved the new sculpt on the Rancor but it just was not right for the one in Jedi. So I started chopping and re-sculpting using Kneadatite aka "Green Stuff" and it has come along real nice. Tell me what you think!!

Welcome, I love your Rancor! It's really superb, haven't tried green stuff yet. But from what I'm seeing it looks like it works good!

Here is a picture of the arm shackle, this has been sort of challenging as there are not allot of good reference photos that show all the detail. If anyone has a good shot of this thing it would help me out, otherwise I think I can do an alright job by using educated guesses LOL.

Hey thanks for the compliments, I just wanted to tell you that "green stuff" is amazing. I used to use Super Sculpey but hands down green stuff works waaaay better for making customs. Get your hands on some and I can totally give you some pro tips!
