I've been thinking hard about the custom contest, and have the pieces for these figures I'd like to make and if good enough enter in the contest. This will at least give me one to focus on, and if it doesn't turn out I'll focus on the next highest. Hopefu

Thanks Tamer, I like the way the parts came together him too. Have another, well two actually. This is my Juhani from Knights of the Old Republic, forgot to take any production photos :( oh well. She's made from the comic pack Asajj Ventress (head and arms), Concept Starkiller (body), and Bastilla Shan (belt down). Sculpt the hair, and ears, wish I could have done more to the hair, hard to sculpt it when it's so thin, and has a small attachment point. Mixed some clear paint, with brown to make more of a wash for her stripes. I think I accurately hit the character, hope she's a treat for all the KOTOR fans.

And for anyone who may be interested, she's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-KOTOR-Cathar-Jedi-Juhani-3-75in-figure-sith-revan-mandalorian-/351521577034?hash=item51d851984a

I also have a Saba Sebatyne from the new jedi order finished. Made her from the Amazing Spider-man movie Lizard (perfect body for the height, and tail), and an ep. 1 Kenobi (arms and legs). Shaved the body down to give her more of an hourglass shape, and added a little more bust to make her a bit more feminine (sort of worked). Sculpt the head to give it a wider mouth, and segmented brow as a Barabel should have. Also made the lightsaber removable via magnet.

If anyone is interested, she's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Barabel-Jedi-Saba-Sebatyne-3-75in-figure-sith-mandalorian-EU-/351521606578?hash=item51d8520bb2

I like the Saba figure, good work adapting the Lizardman figure. Juhani looks really great! Great job with the sculpting and the paint apps are fantastic.

Thanks for getting to word out so quickly Tamer!

Thanks Starchaser, I'm very pleased with Juhani, the pics don't show her well though, her eyes look far better in person. Saba is good, needed to make her once I saw the Lizard figure. Wanted to sculpt her robes, but the business part of me took over thinking she won't sell well, and I had already put a number of hours into her, so I went with cloth, to keep the price lower.

Awesome work!
Thanks ghostskull18!

I have an Aqualish jedi today with another orange lightsaber. I like the way he turned out, from the pics it's hard to tell, but he's dark green and black. Sorry about to pic quality this time, took them on my phone.

Made a couple custom jedi yesterday, first off a custom female Ishi Tib.



She features a ball jointed head now that I modified the original by drilling the hole wider (about the exact same size as the neck nub so it's very snug), and put enough clay inside so it the heads sits where I want it, then moved it around to round out the inside. Worked perfectly, and look at the side pic the head only covers enough of the nub to stay on, so there is a huge range of motion to it. I also cut the hands off the Ishi Tib figure, glued the hands on the base, and then sculpt the lower arm to her new hands to make her as accurate as possible.

And if anyone is interested, she's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Female-Ishi-Tib-jedi-3-75in-figure-sith-mandalorian-darth-EU-/351553986590?hash=item51da40201e%3Ag%3A3%7E4AAOSw5VFWJBDs

Second, I made a Male Vuvrian jedi, with full leg articulation.



One of my disappointments with figures with legs like this is that hasbroken never made them fully articulated, even if the rest of the figure is, ex. geonosians, wioslea, Voolvif Monn. So I though I'd do it myself. I took the upper arm of the base figure, put it in where the knee was, then turned the lower leg of the base figure backwards, and attached it to where the elbow would go (adjust the feet accordingly). Really wasn't difficult at all, and he stands just fine, curious to why hasbroken never did this.

Anyway, if anyone is interested he's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Male-Vuvrian-jedi-3-75in-figure-sith-mandalorian-darth-EU-/351554130107?hash=item51da4250bb%3Ag%3Ac8AAAOSw14xWJFFQ

Thanks guys, here's something I think is coming together very nicely, a female Wookiee. She's still a work in progress, and the pics aren't great, but I hope you guys enjoy her so far.

Finished my female Wookie jedi, painted her tan, then went over it with brown game ink to hightlight the fur, and the sculpting I did.

If anyone is interested she's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Female-Wookiee-Jedi-3-75in-figure-sith-mandalorian-darth-EU-/351576066334?hash=item51db91091e:g:bD4AAOSwAYtWQszC
