Thanks Shawn. The green mist was created by painting the electrocution that comes with the new Vintage Lost Line Darth Vader.  Easy as can be.  The lightning on that figure was perfect because it had all soft edges.  Usually lightning on previous figures had a much sharper sculpt to it.

Just had a chance to check these out; awesome effects on the lightning/nightsister 'magic"!  

The undead sister is phenomenal!  The detailing in the rotted flesh in her cheekbones is the topper on a exceptional fig.  

Your sculpting work inspired me to finally bite the bullet and get some from Aves this week; in the mail and my first stabs at sculpting will be commencing sometime shortly.

Again, awesome work; Elias is one lucky kid!  Hope he enjoys his birthday!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

I know that it has been a long time since we did a post of a finished custom.  Usually I pump out one a week, but I just haven't had the time recently.  I am hard at work though.  At the moment I'm elbow deep in Secret Santa custom figures.  I am busy building customs for the Secret Santa we are having here at the Yards and at the one over at Yakface.com.  Since I don't have a finished figure to show you, I figured I'd at least let you see what we're working on.

These two figures are for the Yakface Secret Santa:


Abyssin Zombie (WIP)
by Darth Daddy





Vurk Zombie (WIP)
by Darth Daddy



I finished all the conceptual work on this one, but I have to do sculpting work on the face and arms before I can go and finish the paint job.








These are the figures we are starting to work on for the Secret Santa being held here:


Fan Fiction Cantina Alien (WIP)
by Elias



All Elias needs to do is his paint application once I sand out the joints for him.

Twi'lek (WIP)
by Darth Daddy



This guy needs lots of sculpt work and the entire paint job before he can be labeled as finished.  I haven't even completed kitbashing him yet.  This figure is the one that is furthest from being wrapped up.  This is as rough a sketch as it gets.  He won't look anything like this once completed.  This will be the general look of the head, but the rest of him will only be similar in body type.  Really looking forward to getting more done on this one.

One more Secret Santa will be rolling out once I get the parts in the mail.  Until then enjoy!
