Topic: Starchaser's Custom Thread

[Starchaser]

I got an Major Panno figure from a "supplier" earlier this week to build a figure inspired by Bigpadawan - an Advozse rebel. But I was also familiar with a Dresselian Jedi (a contemporary of Obi-Wan's) from "Legends" named Reeft. With Panno, I was able to accomplish both.

Reeft (from "Jedi Apprentice" series):




Dinu Vardren, a Advozse mineral scout back on his home planet of Riflor, became increasingly frustrated with the Empire's control of the planet's mining rights. The final straw was broken, though, when his father was injured (leading to his being incapacitated) while simply trying to get home from the market by the harsh and indiscriminate practices of Imperial riot control troops. Dinu quit his job and found a rebel cell, bringing his considerable scouting skill to the Rebellion:

[Tamer]

Both look great. Off to share.

[Jodo]

Nice! I really like that rebel! He would fit in the Home One ready room perfectly!

[Starchaser]

Thanks Tamer!

Jodo - thanks for the feedback - the real kudos goes to Bigpadawan, the figure is his design just with different accessories.

A couple of customs:

Darth Malignus, a Sith whose focus is on Sith lore and exploring the mystical side of the Force.



Recipe:
     Head = custom from ebay vendor (I can look it up if anyone's interested)
     Body = Legacy Emperor

Justice Hunter - a Jedi knight who has taken this name as a pseudonym. After his master and family were killed by dark siders, he began a campaign to seek and "deal with" dark Force users. He walks very close to the dark-side but keeps focused on justice rather than vengeance. Justice functions virtually independent of the Jedi order, though he never formally left it. While his activities are not officially condoned, some members of the order support and aid Justice in his mission "off the books."



Recipe:
     Head = custom from ebay vendor (I can look it up if anyone's interested)
     Body = CW Anakin

Justice Hunter vs. Darth Malignus:





I'll have to try and get some better lighting for the Malignus pictures to show the paint apps on his head (he's got graying skin, red irises and a black and red "tattoo" on his forehead).

Sweet! They look awesome, the yellow saber is perfect as he seems a jedi sentinel, or more specifically a jedi shadow, and the backstories are really cool too.

Thanks Mandalore25, I did choose the yellow saber for precisely that reason:)

[Tamer]

Nice, off to share. Really like the look of that Justice Hunter.

Thanks, Tamer. I've been sitting on this character for a long time and finally got around to painting the helmet/mask. There's more to his backstory, perhaps I'll share more another day.

Here's a non-combatant addition to the 'verse:

Velstigg Sarramsell:





Velstigg was formerly a competitive wrestler (Galactic Games champion twice) nick-named “Pillar,” and perhaps the only human to go up against a Wookie and not only survive but win. He now owns a small upscale private port on the Inner-Rim planet Nubia, called, not coincidentally, The Pillar. Services at The Pillar are top-notch, but they are also pricey, unless you happen to be a recipient of the “family discount” that Velstigg offers certain "close friends and associates." He is an affable person and a generous host, but don't cross him or he'll break you in two.

Recipe: Dwalin head; MU Doc Ock body; MU Thunderstrike vest; MU Beta Ray Bill legs

[Starchaser]

A couple of pirates that might fit into Maz Kanata's environment:

Roca Nave is a pirate who was formerly a crewmate with Sidon Ithano and currently works under the patronage of Maz Kanata; and his crewmate Jarkanneth Obinoa, an Em'liy (from the EU comics) pirate who harbors a deep hatred against anything associated with the old Empire for its devastating treatment of his people

Roca Nave -



Recipe: Vizam body, Imperial Gunner armor; GI Joe Firefly head; GI Joe Swamp Rat helmet

Jarkanneth Obinoa -



Recipe: Head and legs from the Shadows of the Empire swoop biker (I had to build a peg to attach the torso which was a bit complicated); Torso from VC Wooof; Hands from CW Nikto Guard.

Together:



I've got a couple more ambitious customs in the works that I will hopefully be able to share soon. Thanks.

[Tamer]

Great update, you gotta love space pirates. Off to share.

[AjuntaPall]

Really diggin Velstigg, keep up the good work

[Starchaser]

Tamer, thanks for the FP (its been awhile, but I do appreciate it).

Ajunta Pall - thanks for the look-see and comment (there's no way I could keep up with your pace!).

[Starchaser]

This one sat for a long time before getting finished, but I finally managed to make the time:

Lee Bucerind - owner of Celestial Stars and Gems, a modest jeweler shop in a very upscale Coruscent neighborhood. Lee is not a rock star gem cutter, but he's reliable and inventive. People say if you want it done right go to Lee Bucerind, he's not flashy, but he's good.





And with his daughter Desta (and their bodyguards):





Recipe:
     Head = Henry Jones, Sr.
     Torso = Phantom Menace Senator Palpatine
     Arms = Comic Pack Wedge Antilles
     Legs = Comic Pack Xizor
     Cravat = hand sculpted
     Head gear = Zam Wessell sight/Clone wars Anakin head band
     Artificial arms = Snowtrooper backpack/Grievous arms
