Great stuff from everyone! Love that Talon!

Tamer, I hope your Daughter is doing well. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Just made it. I literally just finished this guy and shot the pics.

I've got Snoova here. I've been wanting to update this guy so here he is for the contest.

Quick break down:  SandStorm Chewbacca base, Hand sculpted armor cast in soft resin with working holster, FixIt sculpt details are shin armor; Arm band; Eye implant and Transdosian Skull, Custom Vibro Axe with added trophey, Re-painted Blaster and Re-painted Hasbro Snoova Rifle    Last was a full figure re-paint.


SNOOVA












I'll try to post a few WIPs on my custom thread tomorrow.

Folks I appreciate the well wishes and my daughter is going great thanks everyone for asking! We have been blessed with just an awesome lung specialist and I really just can't say enough good about the doctor.

Back to the contest! I have locked this down. I will get all the entrants put into the trusty TESB Mug in the next day or two and get my daughter to draw out the winning entry. Matter of fact I think I am gonna front page feature each entry that I haven't yet and then when I get that done I will announce the winner. I want each person who contributed to have their work highlighted.

Darth Sinister that is a fantastic Snoova, perhaps the best custom version I have ever seen!

I am Boba Fett always comes up with some awesome unique characters. I didn't know this one existed!

Starchaster welcome to ISY and loved that alien trooper. He looks like he could take the shine off of something thats for sure. Just great!

Darth Streams I really like that new Odan-Urr with just excellent execution all the way around. I really like it when soft goods are done correctly as hasbro always messes that up for the most part.

Jetpack Blues that is one awesome Talon and I used her for yesterday's front page highlight.

Thanks again for all the great entrants and look for em to show up on the front page in the coming days till we get to the random winner.  Hasbro better release that latest wave so I can get it shipped to the winner of this!

Getting ready to showcase Darth Sinister's great Snoova. Wow what a difference his figure is over the original SOTE release.

Wow! I have been out all week dealing with an unscheduled surgery for my daughter (all ended well I am happy to report) and see there is some great activity here. Wow, such awesome figures. Thank you all for contributing here. I am gonna do a front page reminder and try to get sorted out with all the great updates here, but had to post on this before my day left me.

I echo the sentiments of others here. Hope your daughter recovers soon!

Thank you Crassus, I appreciate it and she is doing great. Its hard to believe how resilient she is.

Starchaser, your great merc is gracing the front page of ISY today. I am getting through them and then we can draw for the random prize winner.

Tamer, thanks for the kind greetings. I'm glad to hear your daughter is doing alright - been there with a daughter as well (though not with lungs).

Darth Sinister -  I love the Snoova. Brilliant job on the hand sculpted elements, I'm envious. Ever since "Shadows" I've been interested in this bounty hunter and you have done a masterful job interpreting him.

Darth Leere you Ben Skywalker is now gracing our front page. Folks, I think that might be the last one to feature before we announce the winner, but I need to check. I really enjoyed seeing the diversity and varied entries this challenge produced!

And the random winner that was pulled from the cup was:





Congratulations Starchaser, if you will pm message or email me your name and address I will get that shipped out to you as soon as it comes in; which I am thinking should be any day now.

Thanks to all the wonderful entrants, and I can't wait to see what the next challenge brings. Stay tuned for that poll to come hopefully no later than tomorrow!
