JM those are all awesome!! And Mungo - what a great idea, perhaps I could couple it with a trip to the States!!

Here's an extremely early WIP shot of my three figures (all are based on our actual in game characters)

1. Jedi Guardian T'aaylorr
2. Old Republic Commando Hudson
3. Smuggler Gunslinger Nu'anna-Shan



More to follow when I have  chance to actually do some work on them!

WB Out!!!

Ray, those look cool. I would love to see side by side comparison pics of the in game shot with your finished custom for each one if that is possible. No doubt they will be dead ringers, well excuse the word dead as they are your online characters whom I know you wish to have long  happy lives.

You couldn't have used a better base too. Wonderful. I will be using one of your pics to shout out the contest again today.

I guess there is a little over a month until contest submission deadline so, not that I am complaining about what we have had so far as it was just outstanding, I hope this thread just explodes. I seem to be using the word just a lot this morning. Anyhow, hands down I think the Yarders have just rocked this contest and I am proud of everyone as I do so hope to see this type of combined sites thing continue well into the future with perhaps even new sites added next  year. Poor CHEWIE had  his hands full with going over details and points from what Sites are involved this time, but it really is so nice to just see some sites set aside the unspoken competition that seems to run rampant among some places and just enjoy a good ole fashioned fun figure fest, if I can describe our contest as such. I think Mike has a big ole smile on his face up there now.

Really having a hard time coming up with something for this contest.  Partly because I don't know enough about the game, and the other issue I'm having is the wrong type of fodder to pull this off.  I may have to sit this one out, but I'm hoping I can pull something off at the last minute.  The entries so far are awesome!

I sure hope so Brian. I was looking forward to seeing what you were cooking up. I think Elias could create something awesome too. The great thing about this contest is all entrants will be put into the random contest prize entries.

This is my entry...

First up is Darth Stygius the Dark Lord of Gloom.  Very little is know about Stygius' background and even fewer know what he looks like under his mask. Some believe he is hiding a hideous disfigurement, while other circulated rumors convey a very different story.  It was thought that people believed his appearance to pleasant to be a Sith and he was un-intimidating. Either way, Stygius is a powerful Sith Lord who celebrates the fall of his enemies and intends to do whatever it takes to bring an end to the Jedi Order.









Second is Gen'Ral or "Gen" for short.  Gen was a simple freighter captain / smuggler until the Sith returned. While away delivering a shipment his wife and daughters were killed in Sith fleet bombardment of the moon where they lived. With a past that included military training and weapons smuggling Gen is out to find whatever revenge he can on anyone loyal to the Sith and any part of it's empire. Gen is an expert with almost any weapon but his favorite is the knife he keeps in his belt. Many stories circulating the core say he has killed more people with his knife than with a blaster.











Rossh Darna is the last living heir to the Darna family from Alderan. After the Sith attacked Rossh spent days recovering from his injuries in an underground safe house. He waited for as long as he could after the attack began, but was the only one who made it to the shelter.  Months after the attack he sank a huge portion of his families wealth into the fastest and most heavily armed ship he could find and roamed the core trying to find a way to strike back at the Sith for the loss of his family. Then Rossh met Gen. After trading stories they decided that two blasters are better than one. Sith beware!





The three together...

Very Nice!  I like the back stories.  Darth Styglus reminds me of Dr. Doom.
