Below is my first attempt at sculpting with a Ssi-Ruu Bounty Hunter that I made. A while back Dad took me to the DK Star Wars Attack of the Authors East Coast Tour at the Tribeca Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Manhattan.  It was cool because while I was there I got to meet Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars.   Star Wars artist Chris Trevas was there and while I was there I picked up an awesome book that he illustrated called Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Alien Species.  It was in this book that I discovered an alien species called the Ssi-Ruuk.

Ever since I read the book, I knew I wanted at least one Ss--Ruuk in my collection.  One day I saw a dinosaur at a local toy store that I knew would be perfect for my custom.

I also took my first crack at sculpting. I sculpted the headset and the shoulder armor with Apoxie Sculpt and then used assorted fodder to create the harness.  I used some casted Jango Fett leg armor that I got from SithHappens.  I also used Green Stuff for the first time to create the forked tongues that come out of the Ssi-Ruu's nostrils. 

I made the one of a kind gun myself too. I pieced it together from about 6 different guns.  Check it out and let him know what you think:

Thanks guys

So summer is here, and that means that I get to make all the customs until school is back in session.  Dad is hard at work on his own projects and while he is keeping himself busy, I am making a couple of cool figures of my own.  My latest creation is a figure we wanted to add to my Mos Eisly cantina diorama for quite a long time now.    Dad had bought the head cast by I-am-Boba-Fett a ways back on ebay planning to use it, but I beat him to it.  When Dad saw that I wanted to use it, he said to give it a go. The great thing about this Star Wars character is that you never see him from his chest down so customizers can get as imaginative as they would like with Melas south of there. I have seen a million different custom versions of his lower half, so I felt pretty comfortable winging it.  I figured since Melas was wealthy, he was most likely well fed and kept him looking plump. 

To make Melas, I used a cast head that was created by Star Wars customizer, I-AM-BOBA-FETT with a POTF Ketwol body.  I switched the lower arms out for Obi Wan Kenobi forearms and used Embo's hands to complete him.  Then I just painted him to look like he did on screen.  Dad made me try drybrushing with this one.  I tried to get out of it, but I'm so glad that he made me follow through on it.

Think I commented on this one already. Nice figure though.

I've been really bad about posting in this thread.  I've been posting in my blog thread lately instead.  It looks like I haven't posted in here since I turned 10.  Here are the last couple of figures that I made to get this thread up to speed and current.  I noticed a big improvement in the quality of my figures in the last year.  Hopefully next year my figures look even better.
