First up is Master Zao, a commission piece I recently did. I love my new pin drill as it allows me to make every saber have a removable blade!

Next is Master K'kruhk, one that I have been looking to detail for a long time.

Stunning work. K'kruhk is one of my favourite Jedi, and Zao is very cool too.

Maybe it is just coincidence, but did you know that Zao and K'kruhk are both starring in a Dark Horse comic together, released very soon?

Your painting skills are exceptional you bring out the smallest details which brings these figures to life.

Nice update Rob! 

I really love the build on your Zao.  Especially the clothing and the ankle joints.  And while I'm at it, the arms too.  I did something similar with the arms, but I prefer the way you did your adjustments.  I have always wanted to go back and sculpt better detail into my Zao's clothing, but I keep putting it off to make the next custom for the blog each coming week .  All I have for his clothing right now is a smooth skeleton to sculpt onto,  I want to find some cloth fabric that I can imprint onto a thin layer of Apoxie Sculpt to add a cloth texture onto what I already have.  Really nice job.  Excellent kitbash work.  You have my wheels turning on directions that I can take when I get to work some more on mine.  I have the Yoda ball joint on his feet now because I used Yoda as my frame, but I like what you did.  You make me want to break him out now and get to work.

I got the same hat from Tofujesse that I use for my K'kruhk.  It's perfect for him.  All I had to do was dremel out that little ring on the inside and paint it up.

P.S. - PM me your new phone number.  I tried to call.

I love the adjustment to Zao's forearms; it adds a nice point of visual interest (as DD pointed out).  It's your paint applications that send your figs over the top, quite literally. 

I'm curious if you strip pre-existing paint using a solvent, prime your figs before painting, or just have at 'em straight out of the package? 

Great update, oh, and awesome k'Kruhk as well.  'Bout time someone got that hat right!

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