TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY...

Stuff the tail with (Clean) Toilet Paper till you can't stuff it no more. Or maybe paper towels depending on the softness of it. Whatever you use make sure it's soft for better compaction. Hopefully that works.

@ Incom:Thank you for the big compliments on my stuff! I'm glad all the time I put into researching shows, I love trying to get as close as I can to what was shown in the movies. I will totally check out the guys you mentioned so thanks for the tip!



@ Orangepeace: I do take that seriously, I had Jabba stuffed with a pair of old socks until my wife asked me what I was doing? I said "stuffing this Jabba with socks so he doesn't look like a smashed piece of crap?" she then told me that was some ghetto custom! LOL!!!! So she recomend that I use cotton batting instead and I think thats what I'm gunna use but if that does not work I'm all about using TP on Jabba!

I've had a great time looking through your thread YF!

Must make a point of dropping by more often!

[JediMindtrix]

love the way jabba's throne is coming along,can't wait to see it all done!

[ActionFigEmpire]

Jabba did a pretty good job of stuffing his face in ROTJ with those wriggling little frog creatures. Gonna sculpt some of those? Technically don't they go in the bottom half of the water pipe? Or in another clear glass globe near the water pipe?

[Mungo Baobab]

I can't wait to see this fully finished. It's gonna be good.

[YakFace]

Okay guys thank you for all the great comments, you have made me push myself harder with my work and back into LED's! I have some WIP shots of Jabbas throne with a sneaky little LED I installed behind the "frog" bowl. Let me know whats on your mind.

[YakFace]

Oh and why not show you guys the little switch that turns the thing on and off. Plus a very early WIP shot of the little paddy frogs I plan on making. Ejoy!

[RavenEye]

*Spits drink out and wipes mouth in shock* That's unbelivable!!! What a great little surprise, light switch and all! Now that's clever.

@Orangepeace

Thanks! Hope you didn't spit your beverage on anything expensive.

[ActionFigEmpire]

THis is so incredibly sick! Once it's complete, could you please get to work overhauling the rest of Hasbro's half-way decent ideas? Another thing that came to mind is stop motion shorts... either recreating classic scenes or re-imaginings ah-la robot chicken stunning work. As I've said to Spry, and a few other Yarders, "your work inspires us to push that much harder at our work"

[ghostskull18]

AWESOME!

Okay so I have been sort of MIA for a bit. I have been pretty busy with work and of course having a one year old is no part time job either! Well enough about that and onto the customs I have been finding the time to work on. First up is a Boba Fett I started, I wanted to give him a personal sorta look instead of the generic "clone" guy head Hasbro gave him. So here is my take so far on what Boba Fett should look like under the helmet. Second figure I have been working on is slave Leia, I have done alot of work trying to make the perfect version of this figure and Im also making a removable costume for her. I wont post anything to naughty on her but I thought that you guys would appreciate the work I have been doing on this fig. And last but not least is Jabba the Hutt this guy is actually finished so enjoy that! Hope you guys dig my stuff and I plan on doing more updates soon!!
