I cannot wait to see you finish this one up.

Hey, do you think Snoke is a play off of Plageius?

My best guess is... Disposable lighter parts?

Lol  Nice guess!
All but 2 parts are from from the disposable lighters yes. It' s amazing how many different variations on
the same parts.

I cannot wait to see you finish this one up.

Hey, do you think Snoke is a play off of Plageius?

I have to say i that i like the evidence presented.

   The tragedy of Darth Plagueis, from the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack
   is virtually the same song from Snoke's song from Ep7...
 
That alone is huge for me.
But with how the Darth Plagueis book wrapped up. It left many questions unanswered....

I dunno lots of theories floating around... but i like this one.  ;)

Hey shipyards, it's been a while since I've last checked in.

The day jobs been keeping me busy.
But it's a good work.

I've been making little progress on Plagueis since I last checked it.
I have done a final maskless head sculpt.

Been practicing and testing molds and resins casts.  Pretty confident with my skills now.

Just got a SmoothOn order last monday.
We are gonna get back to work and finish him
 up.

Plagueis is so awesome! Amazing work, I was looking at my 6inch shadow guard today an was thinking the staff would work for a Plagueis custom. Any chance of a casted plagueis kit?

Im glad you like it dude.
Ive given it some thought, and i think what ill do is offer made to order mini busts. Larger than the 6inch.
And then if there are interested people, and after i managed to replicate all the parts without any serious hiccups.
Then ill consider making  make 5-10 completed carded figures.
  If the shipyarders are interested i could probably do some made to order kits for a discount, i dont see why not.
And he would include the staff i made for him.  vadsab

I had inteded to put down bbc from the start. XD
I never really had done any posting from my phone,  didn't familiarize myself with the imgur app much ither.
Mostly scrolled through posts for my news. 
Thank you for doing that, if i post anything from my phone ill make sure to edit it to bbc when i get to my desk.

Plagueis looks phenomenal.
I'm really looking forward to see the finished figure with the breathing device.
Excellent work.

Yes, I remember seeing pictures of the 3.75" Plagueis holding the wired forearms of his 6" version in progress! Man, have it already been 3 years since? Well, at least I got an account on Instagram by now to follow you on there, too!  ;)

I just went through all the pictures of the progress so far and I really like the comparison with Squidward! That's my favourite detail and made me laugh quite a bit! It looks like you have fixed Plagueis' nose by now! And I gotta tell you, your sculpting skills are incredible! Did you use wax wire for all your molds? Dental labs use those on a daily basis, too! The staff for his lightsaber looks great as well as his lightsaber itself! I cannot get enough of looking at all the great progress of the last years! And I really hope you find the time to finish him, soon! It'll be stunning!
Which material do you use for the sculpts once again?

Thanks for sharing the latest progress and keep up the amazing work! I wonder if Hasbro will ever make a 6 inch Plagueis - even if so, two things are for sure: it'll take very long and it won't look as good as your custom does! The sculpt is just phenomenal! Good work needs its time.

P.S.: Your Imperial Shock/Sandtrooper combo looks pretty sweet, too! It's cool that you got three of them! And of course I gave them a like on Instagram, too!

Hey guys! so this is the Plagueis mini bust ive thrown together.
(6inch scale)
Patrol trooper for scale

Its still a little rough but over all im pleased with the looks of it.
The mold was a little imperfect and i will likely make a new one.
But it still looks really nice.

If anyone is interested in grabbing one, message me.
 Thanks again.

Has it already been 3 years since?
Did you use wax wire for all your molds?

Hey dude, glad you are liking the progress!
I am using wax wire for most of my molds.
Originally intended for lost wax casting for Jewelry design.
Ive been using fix-it sculpt for the original sculpted parts and various smooth-on materials for the replicated parts.

I'm really looking forward to see the finished figure with the breathing device.
Thanks alot!
That breathing device is one of the last few thing i need to make a mold for.
And honesty im not sure im gonna try.
Its gonna be hard to make one just because it has so many small recessed areas.
I may try and redesign it.

Wow, that is great. Let me go share this. Thanks for making it available to the Shipyarders too.
