Topic: Starchaser's Custom Thread

With fists like these, Qesenial Tsarman sure knows how to win every debate with "aggressive negotiations" as Padmé Amidala once said. I like his hat, too!

It's great to see Two Tubes in super-articulated form. In fact I saw it here first! How many years do you think Hasbro need to bring this character to TVC? Well, you actually don't have to worry about that anymore because you now have a great custom of him!

Very nice. Off to share.

Thanks, Tamer!

Thanks, Philipp! Yeah, I thought it kind of fit the Penguin/Kingpin vibe to make him a "not sissy." Though the truth is, he doesn't like getting his hands dirty  

Hasbro had an excellent sculpt for Edrio Two-Tubes in the Rogue One pack. I can't imagine it would have been a challenge to redesign the elements for a more articulated figure. I think Hasbro has shown a tremendous lack of initiative - and pretty lazy initiative at that - by not pushing some of these characters out faster. I really am not sure if they will ever get around to these. Chewie of Yakface did a great version of Edrio, but I wanted to see if I could get a good figure of Benthic - especially because I believe he shows up later in the timeline (in comics or books or something) as well as being in "Solo". He's not a perfect representation of either screen version, but no one wears exactly the same outfit everyday of their life except Darth Vader...so I'm happy with him.

I had part of today off and the weather in the Seattle area was beautiful, so I decided to have a little fun composing an image, so here is a shot of Leshee and Velsu herding some Farsolax livestock. I changed Velsu's hat to the BOBF Cad Bane hat. I also painted these Kool-Aid containters to use as storage mini-silos around Safa Thewel.

I don't want to be "speciesist" so I thought a couple of non-human princesses would be a good addition to the quick and easy female diorama fillers (though requiring paint this time) using the Disney princess bodies. So I add two more to the "bevy of background beauties" seen on page 79 of this thread.   



Two different version of Anna and the heads of a Mandalore Ahsoka and Chi Eekway.

[JDeck]

The pricesses look great! The Disney princess bodies work great especially with Chi Ekway head. I never knew the head looked like that, I never owned the figure because I didn't know there was a head under all that hood.  I like the dino ranchers too.

[Starchaser]

Thanks, JDeck - nice to hear from you, I hope all is well. I think I've got one more princess to do and then I really have to get a sabacc table and build a gambling diorama for them to populate with my "gambler" characters.

[Tamer]

Those princesses look great. Off to share on the front pages.

I like em'. Great for dioramas or space stations.

Thanks DS - yeah, I wanted a quick way to get some "better dressed" clientele for a casino or club or maybe a party at Mon Mothma's house.

Another member of the Wandering Star cell:
Tevvo Borr - not all Rodians make it as hunters. Some are simply too impatient to track and too implusive to bring in a live bounty. Tevvo started life as the youngest and smallest of eight brothers. He was constantly beaten up and the brunt of jokes, as a result, he grew up angry and isolated. He became fast with a blaster and used his toughness to his advantage, eventually earning the right to be a hunter. Tevvo, though, had other ideas, lacking the patience to hunt and any sense of connection to his family and culture. When got off planet he went looking for some organization that would let him play the role of "enforcer" and work out his pent-up frustration. He was recruited by Wandering Star to provide additional muscle to one of their cells.



Recipe:
Head and hands = POTF Greedo
Torso, arms and skirt = Pirates Tai Huang
Legs = Clone pilot ROTS

PS - I added backstories to the other two members of the gang - Onk Foe and Kharph Mest (back one page).

[Darth More]

Another superb custom! The universe needs more Rodians! A TVC Greedo would be neat.

Thanks, Philipp. Yeah I would like a TVC movie accurate Greedo and a TVC version of the "Kenner style" Greedo. Both would be fun

I've got two more members of the gang to come - one almost done, the other still in the design phase. (But their backstories are finished).

[Tamer]

Nice.
