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

I finished two figures today, first Nomi Sunrider from the Tales of the Jedi comics. Nomi became a jedi after witnessing the death of her husband, proceeding to play a prominent role in the major events of her time, like the Great Sith War, and even became Grand Master of the Jedi Order. Not sure what the head is from, it came in a random lot of cast heads, the body is from Wioslea, arms from TVC Mon Calamari pilot, belt from ep. I Obi-Wan, legs from ANH Luke, and I made the soft goods myself.

If anyone is interested, she's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Nomi-Sunrider-3-75in-figure-sith-jedi-mandalorian-darth-EU-/352045496496?hash=item51f78bf8b0:g:sqQAAOSwdjNZB9nF

Second I made Xanatos from the Jedi-The Dark Side comics. Xanatos was the second apprentice of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and his greatest failure. Corrupted by his father Xanatos forsook his Jedi training, and joined the tyrannical regime of his father, but it was duel between his father, and Qui-Gon lead him to the dark side, for he could not forgive his former master for killing his father right in front of him. Later Xanatos would return as a Dark Jedi to try, and take out not only his old master, but his new apprentice as well. The Build is Black Series Anakin head, TVC Quinlan Vos torso, Captain Needa shoulders, RotJ Luke forearms, Captain Needa legs, and soft good is a repurposed robe sleeve.

If anyone is interested, you can add him to your collection here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Jedi-Apprentice-Xanatos-3-75in-figure-sith-mandalorian-qui-gon-/352045588164?hash=item51f78d5ec4:g:ve8AAOSw42dZB~9d

I don't do many 6in figures, but with all the enlarging parts going on, I thought I'd get in on it with this 6in Darth Nihilus. Bought the enlarged Darth Nihilus head, and used a 6in Darth Maul as a base. The soft goods are either hand sewn, or liquid stitched, and with all edges finished so they won't fray.

If anyone is interested, he's listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-Darth-Nihilus-6in-figure-jedi-sith-revan-mandalorian-bane-EU-/352054677969?hash=item51f81811d1:g:rywAAOSwZKBZFFSV

Haha. This looks rad. If you have seen my IG recently I have the same build going on with the same base pieces. Great minds and all.

Excellent work! I like be looking at your creations.
Remember why the Sith are more powerful than the Jedi, Sidious: because we are not afraid to feel.

Thanks JetpackBlues, definitely great minds, the builds are pretty much same, but every customizer making something similar has a different interpretation of the soft goods that I've been enjoying. Personally I went with something more like the in game look.

I bought mine from a site called thesarlaccpit, but my bookmark doesn't work. I guess they must have gone out of business, or changed the web address, sorry I'll get back to you if I hunt them down.

Working on another Vodo-Siosk Baas, but this time I decided I would try to make a mold of the parts, so I could make more without having to resculpt them every time, hopefully drastically reducing the price too. I'm a novice at casting, and I pretend to know what I'm doing, but it turned out pretty well I think.

Well though I posted the product of my molding, but my internet has been going down randomly. Anyway, here is the first complete Vodo-Siosk Baas made with a casts of the parts I sculpt. As of right now there will be at least 3 more to come, and I started to cast them in red.
