Re: Jaeger45's Customs--UPDATE 11/10: Yoxgit and Shasta Tiel

And now.... PIGS IN SPACE!!!!

Sort of "me, too" customs (I'll have a few of these), but needed additions to Jabba's ranks.

Yoxgit is a TLC Ugnaught, with the waist peg shortened and pockets flaps resculpted and hips widened with Fixit.  Dyed and painted.  The head is a cast of the alternate ugnaught head, with some additional sculpting on the hair.  Gloves are from an AT-ST driver.

My version of Shasa Tiel is based around the body of Talon Karrde, with vest and arms of Celebration Luke, head and hands of the POTF2 Ishi Tibb, upper boots from a pair of Ellorrs Madak figures, feet from the bin, and belt from Black Widow.  He really does have some crazy boots.

I've seen them both done a few times before; these were probably most inspired by Darth Daddy.  Thanks for checking them out!

Cool customs. I like to see ugnaught customs, and great job on the clothes. I also like the ishi tibb, they are a really neat alien, and potf2 sculpt was pretty good. Nice to see articulated variations of them.

Great update. I particularly like how the Ishi Tib turned out.

Re: Jaeger45's Customs--UPDATE 11/18: Taym Dren-Garen and Nizuc Bek
« Reply #97 on: November 18, 2016, 08:20:40 AM »
Thanks!

Up next:  Taym Dren-Garen and Nizuc Bek


Taym Dren-Garen, played by actor and stuntman Larry Holt, appears to be Jabba's barbecue chef.  He also courageously stood up to Luke Skywalker, shooting his robot hand before suffering defeat.  He is built from an Indiana Jones Russian Soldier, with a TBS Imperial Officer head, cast Lando helmet, VC Nikto Skiff Guard arms (Dremeled), and custom soft goods.  I sculpted his catcher's vest from a flexible Sculpey product to leave some give for articulation.

Nizuc Bek (actor unknown) is best noted for losing his blaster to Luke shortly before Luke fell into the rancor pit.  Head is from Cassian Andor, torso is Captain Typho, arms are from Thor: The Dark World, skirt is from the IJ Russian Soldier, and legs are TBS Vizam.  Helmet is a custom cast modded from a Naboo trooper helmet with custom soft goods. His quilted jacket is sculpted from Fixit for the torso (due to melting temperature for the harder plastic) and flexible Sculpey for the skirt.







If/when Hasbro releases TBS Cassian Andor, I may revisit the legs for improved accuracy.  The shoulder width could also be a bit better, and if I can stomach it, I might try to Dremel the shoulder joints out a bit further at risk to the sculpt.

Awesome work on Jabba's goons. The Taym dren-garen is really great, I wonder why Hasbro naver made him.

Thanks!  Yeah, I think he turned out a bit better.  IIRC, Taym Dren-Garen won at least one of the late fans' choice polls on Rebelscum, but with the way Hasbro is operating these days, I doubt we'll ever see him, as a relatively minor background human, in TBS.  I'm still holding out a bit of hope for Vedain.

As far as inspiration, Jabbaspalacespy and I-Am-Boba-Fett made pretty nice versions of both these characters, and StarAlien70 also made a very nice Nizuc Bek and inspired the arm choice.

great work ! i like them both.  i remember Jabbaspalacespy's updates  as well and he had some great customs . I did these two plus most of the other goons and skiff guards some time ago and i was very happy with how they turned out . Feel free to check them out in my earlier posts.

Thanks!  Mrjedi1977, just looked back through your thread; I hadn't seen your version previously, very nice!  There was a lot I had missed in there.  I forgot how much I had liked your Bantha droid and articulated Momaw Nadon.  I think I still have raw materials around somewhere.... 🤔
