Nice work. You did a lot to this figure and it shows. Good luck in the contest.

Merc, I think they are the same species from the Ewok movie.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Willoughbian, thank you, that is a honor. I really poured everything I had into this guy.

MrJedi1977, I played round with 2 different torsos for a while. I ended up with Woof's but didn't want it to be so easily recognized. That is when I came up with the idea for the sculpted fur and pieces of armor.

Tiepilot, thanks! Making an original accessary for my figures is something I enjoy rapping things up with.

Tom, you are too kind my friend. To answer your question, I really love this guy and could see me creating something like that for him.

Thanks so much Mungo!

JediMerc, Thank you buddy. Yes he is the same species as Tarok. I also looked at reference shot of him and a few others while sculpting the head. Also the helmet is inspired by Tarok, so good eye.

Charles, thanks so much! I did put in some work on this guy and really took my time with the details.

[DarthSinister]

Hey L.E., did you use FixIt to do all of the sculpting?

[dr0d26]

That's a wicket looking figure. He reminds me a little bit like the grinch but with more character.. How did you come up with that idea?

[Luke Sprywalker]

Charles, yes, Fix-it is the only thing I use for sculpting.

drod26, thanks, I can see that similarity now that you mention it. HA HA! Go to customsforthekid.blogspot.com for all the character info and the radio drama that inspired the figure.

[Luke Sprywalker]

I decided I wanted to make the character Sam Witwer voices in Smuggler's Gambit radio drama. I am a huge fan of Sam's since the release of the Force Unleashed. I wanted the figure to feature sleek tight lines, not bulked up like many of my other figures. I also wanted to go a little bold with color choices for his clothing.It is mentioned that he wears mostly black so I wanted to stick to the description but add interest. When modifying the GI Joe head sculpt I added a small scar to show he had been around the block. Since Sam also plays Starkiller I threw in a few homages to those designs. I wanted him to have several belts, the collar is reminiscent of his Raxus Prime gear cowl, the shoulder armor is a reflection of his training gear design. In the end other than some resemblance to Sam in the face, I hope it doesn't look like Starkiller but mildly influenced by his many looks. So on with the show, presenting Ro Kurota, a young spacer just turned bounty hunter with his sights set on Han Solo.

thats bad ace Sprywalker!!! in my opinion you are representing the character how I pictured him... I like it..

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks so much my friend!

[benjani_1976]

I like that,good selection of colour and as usual......great sculpting and paint apps,gotta raise my game again lol

[RebelScum1138]

Nice job!

[Mando Assasin]

Man painting skills get better and better every figure. This figure is just flawless.

[r1bb1t]

I'm loving the Starkiller influence on this guy. All of the detailing really shines through. Excellent work, L.E.!

[Wookie-Balls]

LE just when I think that your work can't get any better! Beautiful paint and build my old chum, bravo!!!!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks friends! I was lucky enough to be chosen as the winner for Ro Kurota. I almost didn't make him as a few others in the contest mad him. When they extended the contest a month I had plenty of time to knock him out. It is just funny that I put so much more work into Scraper and he would be my favorite figure but the one I did less work on won. You just never know what will happen!


I have finally set aside some time to make a figure for Tankster's Desolation verse. I really love his ideas and thought process for this verse. If you have not checked out his photo albums and writ ups on face book, you are missing out, big time. There are no boundaries to be confined by! He gives you the basic history and invites you participate in his world by making figures for it! So cool! I have decided to make a mutant Rhino that has always relied on brute strength but now has the ability to use weaponry. He started out with primitive or mid evil style weapons but has now added a blaster riffle to his side. He is the dominant male in his clan and they have sided with the Vermillians.

Wow, Spry I love all your work, but I think you may have just snagged my number one custom of all time slot. Maybe. Daggone, I have got to get this one to the front page. That weaponry alone is just outstanding. Wow.
