This is a recent commission I just finished up. I combined parts from the Vintage Collection Quinlan Vos to give Thrawn more height (as he should be 1.8 m tall) and also the added hip articulation. I then made sure to replace the tiny upper arms with better ones as well for good proportions. I created the epaulettes in a way so that there would be no rubbing as well. Painted everything per the customer's requests and voila! My client is uber excited as am I that he gets to have a one of a kind creation of his favorite character!

Wow, what I wouldn't give to even see a reasonable facsimile on a vintage card of this. So fantastic! Off to share.

Thanks Tamer! As I get older I am starting to really like the idea of carded collections myself....There is some real talent on these boards too in making custom cards.

This really is the ultimate version of Thrawn ! I am wondering what paints you used for the added parts , and do you have any trouble working with White sprays and or paints ? I really like how clean it is on the figure.

In Thrawn's own [dying] words: "...it was so artistically done." Truly a grand Grand Admiral!

Thanks! To answer your questions...First, the only way is to repaint the entire figure. I do not use sprays except for clear coats and sealants. The best practice for white is patience and many many many many thin coats because white sucks. I actually lay down a gray color first to act as my primer and I use all game colors and acryls from citadel, testors, and Vallejo. Hope this helps!

Thrawn looks excellent! I like the depth of the paint job on the ysalamiri and your modifications to Thrawn himself are spot on.

Amazing work as always mate and damn that 6" Malak is impressive. You really need to start doing more 6" figures your sculpting and paint skills would bring them to life.
