Re: Mr. Black's customs: back in action! - Aayla Secura WIP 09/2017

Once again, a long hiatus is behind me and I'm back at it. Actually, my return to this great world and community was motivated by fellow Yarder and customizer bornvirgo93 who contacted me about a new commissioned figure Aayla Secura, as seen in the Republic comics. Currently sculpting like crazy on an amazing HACKS female body he supplied:









For now, I'll just post updates on my Instagram account (@mrblackscustoms) and of course here at the yards :)

Early 2019 it became known that the Dutch EchoBase foundation would hold a special Star Wars charity con in December. All proceeds of the convention would go to the Dutch foundation KiKa (Children Cancer free). I immediately got in touch with the organisation and shared my idea of making a special custom figure for this awesome cause.


Last Saturday the convention was held and it was a fun small scaled event. I am super proud to share the final winning bid for my custom figure came in at a whopping 120 euros (roughly 130 USD)!.


So, not without some sense of pride, here's the figure I made, a repaint of K2-SO in the colours of the KiKa foundation, aptly renamed K1-KA :)

The idea behind this paint scheme is that K1-KA is a droid of the foundation which visits the sick children and entertains them, ofr instance by letting them paint and draw all kinds of stuff on him.


It was an absolute honour to work on this and I am definitely up for future projects like this.

What a great way to collect money for the KiKa foundation.
The figure looks phenomenal and is worth every penny of the 120€.
You can be proud of yourself.

Really cool paint work here! I definitely can see ppost-Imperial droids being repainted and converted to do stuff less damaging to the galaxy. Even more so, the fact this benefits charity makes me so happy. Great work!

Beautiful work ... very original take.  He would look good in some kind of graffitied playground diorama.
