Ah, yes, very nice! I love the resculpting you have done. He looks so much more accurate to what we saw in the film. Great update!

Really well done on Bib!

I don't know why it took me this long to find this and get on the fp, but I like it!

Beautiful work on Bib Fortuna. It looks so much better than any version by Hasbro that I've seen. Before I read what you wrote, I thought this was done by Sideshow, or at least not a 3 3/4" scale, but a 12" version.

@ mando assasin: Thanks!
@ Darth Optimus: Haha, thank you for that comment made me laugh.
@ Luke Sprywalker: Yeah he used to look sorta like a fat lady screaming before I did the resculpt. Im glad you dig it!
@ botwt: Thanks!
@ Mandalore the skepsis: Thanks man! Like I said before he used to look like some fat woman screaming so Im glad I was able to improve it.
@ Tamer: Thank you sir!!!
@ r1bb1t: Wow thanks for the praise! Thats a huge compliment to be compared to Sideshow and if you have a hard time guessing the scale right away that makes me smile.

Some fat woman screaming....lol. I needed that chuckle.

Ok so I have been busy working on my Return of the Jedi series and next up is a proper Jabbas Palace Luke. This figure was made from the VC Endor captive Luke, the tunic was all hand sculpted using kneadatite (Green Stuff). The bone he his holding was made from green Stuff and a paper clip and the rest is just a really nice paint job which helped more than I would have thought. Im really happy with this figure so far I'm still working on making a nice soft goods cloak for him. Enjoy!!! P.S. click the pics for a larger view!

[YakFace]

more pics! Also I didn't really pose him to well in these shots but his legs didn't loose much articulation due to the added tunic flaps. I will update again when I finish his cloak and lighsabers!

[smeagol92055]

That is a great custom!  Maybe it's the angle you shot him at, but his head looks ever so slightly bigger than it should for that frame... maybe it's the poofy hair.

WOW! now that I have just scratched the surface (excuse the pun) with sculpting I can really appreciate this custom. A classic figure and a really great piece of customizing.

I'm inspired!

[YakFace]

@smeagol92055: Thank you! Its odd that his head looks so big in these shots, it really doesnt look like that in hand so it must be the angle. I will try and take better pics when I finish up his cloak and sabers.

@HangerBay94: Cool to hear that you are inspired to do more sculpting, Im sure you will get the hang of it and take off. Your work has really improved lately and I'm looking forward to what the future holds for your custom work.

[Mando Assasin]

Nice job he looks great and your paintwork makes it top notch! I just started to sculpt and dang its hard work!

[ActionFigEmpire]

These really are screen gems! Finally a well sculpted ROTJ Luke with the right colored hair! His hair definitely gets progressively darker as the films go on. Excellent start on this one!

[Luke Sprywalker]

This Luke is very inspiring indeed! Great sculpting, you have captured the look that hasbro just can't get right no how many times they try. Then as you said, the paint work brings out the sculpt so well. I want one! Excellent work!
