Topic: August Figure Repaint Competition

Man leave it to spud to up the anty now I really have to get my gears going all of these look truly superb Ill be happy to just get mine on here you guys are fantastic!!!

well thanks!  I don't think it's quite up to par with the other master painters here so I take that as a great compliment.

there are alot of things I realy envisioned for this figure that I might actually wind up doing after the contest is over.  I would love to add a range finder to the helmet.. or at least use a helmet that has a rangefinder allready.  I'd like to add movie style gauntlets instead of the animated featureless gauntlets (what's with that anyway? were they realy like that in the episode!?)  I'd also like to have given him a removable helmet with a young jango/clone head sculpt... as well as his traditional fett-rifle...

BUT... per the rules I couldn't do any of that! lol.  it was very tough not to, at one point I was getting the jango head out and trying it on the figure and i had to stop myself! lol

I hear you on that, Devin. I am so used to casting up and adding whatever parts that I want or fabbing a cape or kama, this was kind of different for me also but, I did to several straight up repaints last year so, it's not bugging me too much. As I get closer to getting the paint apps squared away, the more excited I get about it and that's what really matters to me. I have been painting on the Pre Viszla/animated debute fett today, as well as casting some parts for the 2nd place prize on this, my only day off this week. I will try to get some progress pics up later.

Great job guys, on what entries we have seen so far.

Hey guys I just sent in my email for submission so I hope its ok to post this!  My submission is a repainted Commander Cody figure.  He is now Clone Marshall Commander Vinn of the 501st (my invention of course).  I repainted his orange highlights with blue.  Painted his armor damage.  Gave him some silver drybrush on his battle damage and weathered him.  I tried to keep it super simple as per the contest criteria.  Thank you for creating a great website for star wars customs and contests!
Enjoy! I am enjoying seeing everyone else's entries.

Well after a little wait to finally post it here this is my entry. I got an ARF trooper and made it a shadow ARF. The figure in my opinion should have been a shadow trooper in the first place. A red mask under the visor thing on their helmet makes them so much more intimidating. Well enough about how it was made. Here it is MY SHADOW ARF!!!

Nice shadow arf trooper, Squirepec!

I am really pleased with the turnout so far. We are seeing some great repaints here.

I have some update shots of my Legacy Pre Vizsla figure. I have a ways to go on this one but pretty much have his base color scheme complete. Remaining chores on this one include........Painting up his belt and holster, adding details to his gauntlets and leg pocket tools, painting the cape, and perhaps emulating some of the Clone Wars figure's symbols on this figure.

Man there are some great figs being created.  Thanks guys for the comments on my guy!  I love the ATAT driver, ARF and CW Boba Fett.   Clone head that Pre Vizsla is awesome!

[spudafett]

clint that legacy pre-visla is shaping up to be an awesome figure.  The clone wars symbols and painted cape will be the icing on the cake, I can't wait to see it!

I might get around to doing some touch ups on my figure, can I still resubmit updated images until the end of the contest?

[Phatty]

Man, I am running out of time on this!  I still haven't even started!  I have my piece, I just need to start repainting it.  In fact, perhaps I'll be starting on it tomorrow, on my brand new crafting table I built this evening!  Pics on that will be coming tomorrow.
