You work is like art. The detail is incredible and your ability to capture the character likeness is amazing.

I can't wait to see Dayton tackle Shae Vizla. I keep crossing my fingers to see a wip shot of her.

Today's focus is on Satele Shan. I can't wait to see this nemesis of Malgus get to completion stage. I think Dayton just nailed the head likeness. Wish we had him working on the Bastila Shan head that just came out from Hasbro!

Sith_fire30,

Okay, I can't tell if you said this already.. but can you walk through your process? Do you have a howto somewhere? From say, stripping a figure, sculpting and then painting to re-assemble?

Thanks!

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

Hey Sten, pm coming, but we did exactly what you asked during our interview for CAFN. Trust me, that is worth a listen. It is good to see you around too!

Hey Tamer, it's good to be around.. I have been too busy for the last year to even paint a fig :\ the Wife has me painting rooms, building laundry platforms and just about every other home project that doesn't involve star wars :|

SithFire here has really sparked my interest as of late though =) he does some good work!!

Hey guys!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are ready to kick off the Holidays...i know I'm not LOL! I'm never ready...It creeps up on me LOL!

Need to jump on the ISY more often - took some time to look at some of the work here and WOW! - Some of this is blowing my mind! Best custom site on the web!

Sorry for my absence - when you see this recent update (sculpting, painting and photography) you'll understand why.

Anyway, when not in the kitchen, I spent most of my holiday getting images and copy ready for this BIG REVEAL of some major 1:18 scale figures of familiar...and some not so familiar characters.

I've posted the update on my blog - Sith_fire30 Creations - http://sithfire.blogspot.com/ - but kept the discussion brief and added links to my photostream sets of each finished piece.

Each set also contains the wip images already seen so you all can look at the progress - some have more images than others with Malgus and Savage being the most. I still have a ton a omages for Furlag and others so be sure to bookmark these links and check back often.



Darth Malgus from Star Wars: The Old Republic

Tonnika Sisters from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

Furlag from Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

Del Moomo of the Moomo Brothers from Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

and finally



Savage Opress (non-animated version) from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

These pieces were all based on my love for the uniqueness of each of the characters - and I hope you will be able to see that in the work I've put into each one of them.  

Six different characters, all parts of seperate timelines in the Star Wars EU - whether it be canon of not.

Any questions or comments, please let me know :)

Thanks for your continued interest in my work - I have much planned for the new year...as well as the remainder of this one!


Stay tuned!

Starkiller in arena combat gear is my absolute favorite (behind your Dass Jennir, that is).  I'm slowly realizing that that pauldron is going to give me the greatest trouble if I can't find some type of armor to modify properly in that shape, that I may have to dabble in sculpting for the first time.

Finally...someone has done the Tonnikas their due justice!  These gals look absolutely amazing; thanks for sharing them!

Malgus turned out in spectacular fashion too: that recent 'reveal' Hasbro did of their new Malgus doesn't even hold a candle to yours.  You did a really outstanding job on the legs, they look so much more natural in form than Hasbro's shoddy attempt. 

Another compilation of awesome work!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
