Rebels, pirates, imperials and citizens.
« on: July 05, 2016, 07:17:11 PM »
Hello folks been a while since I've done some figures, or anything for that matter. Been busy with work. I've had supply problems of every kind. I've had labor difficulties. You know. But I'm building some figures that are mostly a mashup of 5poa and SA sculpts, it cuts cost, and makes a unique figure. The POTJ, and the more recent saga legends figure head sculpts are actually pretty good. I'm doing a series called "Major Panno's Raiders", an all non human group of Rebel Alliance commandos, and saboteurs, who's key mission is to reap havoc on the Empire.
    First is captain Salcom. The Quarren leader of the main squad. He a strict no nonsense leader who expects the very best from his men. Capt. Salcom knows as well as the rest of the group, " alien" species must work hard to accel in the human dominated alliance.
    This one is a 15-15, $15, done in 15 minuets. it still retains the 14poa of the SA figure. Simple, but I like it. I may darken the skin later, meybe.

I'd rather say it's a 10-10...10 points (out of 10) for the cool idea and 10 points again for the simple yet elegant execution. ;)

Thanks Tamer! I've just been unbelievably busy. One thing after another, this is the 4th week I've had to work on my day off. But its fun to build these quick figures, I have many more in the works, along with a vehicle.

  Thank you Mr.Jedi! Is good to be back.

  I made the Rebel AT-RT rider. Her name is Vero Nikta, at a young age she was involved with the Free Ryloth movement. She had become a proficient systems hacker and saboteur. She was also quite well at stealing Imperial vehicles. Her vehicle of choice is an AT-RT she had stolen from Ryloth's Imperial Patrol Unit. Eventually she was sought out by Major Panno himself  to join the Raiders. She plays a vital role in the squad as a hacker, when the team needs access codes, or intelligence for covert operations.

  Thanks Tamer, I'd have to agree, if I had to do it over I wouldn't really change anything. The TVC Leia hips work great for the AT-RT. TBS Rey forearms are perfect because of the ball swivel wrists and I didn't have to repaint and match that particular green. The Cesi Eirriss figure is neat, and the helmet is real cool. I was going to make a reimagined Hera with it, but original characters never go out of style.

Oh that's a hot custom.  Great imagination and execution.  She looks like this ain't her first rodeo.

Thank you  Jon_k! I was saving Eirriss for a special figure, I'm glad you like her. I really think this is one of my favorites. So far, more is to come. I will complete the rest of the squad, but Vero is the Crown Jewel.

 Corporal Gorf Timrek, was an Ishi Tib explosives expert. To say he was a pyromaniac would be an understatement. He very rarely used a blaster due to loss of dexterity in his shooting hand during an explosives incident. His boisterous personality would lend comic relief to stressful situations, but it could get annoying at times.
  Pretty simple figure POTF2 Ishi Tib+ TLC Major Panno. He reminds me of a cross between Kermit the frog and Clint Eastwood. I added a poncho, bandolier with proximity mines, and a soft goods bag that holds three explosive charges. I soaked the poncho in a water/PVA glue mixture so it clings better, for a realistic look.

I so wish we had had characters like this in ROTJ. If they ever go back to redo some of the OT again (lets face it its inevitable) I would love to see more Alien Rebels just like you are doing. Off to share.
