Thank Mando assassin and botw! I promise to get back on that figure after C6!
OK guys, get ready for non stop Jabba's Palace figure customs. A long time ago in a gala, hold on, years ago I started on a quest to identify and create a figure for everyone in the Palace/Skiffs/Sailbarge. No doubt a huge undertaking so I made the major players to go in my diorama for many months and ran out of steam when I had to pack it away. Below is a pic of the majority of them.
As you can see, all of them are made with older less articulated fodder. Some of these will be revisited and others will stay as is. I am also working on several at once so it goes a bit quicker. Ja'Quile has been a WIP for about a year, so I started with him. I replaced his lower legs with ROTS Wookie Warrior legs that were cut down tremendously. I then glued his original feet on the wookie legs. Added some sculpt to blend everything and repainted the entire figure. He is still undergoing paint layers being applied to get a believable fur look, almost done with him.
Next up is an unknown skiff guard on the second skiff. I have already changed the head as this one was to thin for his chubby body. I dremeled away a lot of the belly on "Ice Cream maker guy" and some on the lower legs. I have started sculpting and need to work on the legs next. I will post a reference pic when I post his completed pics.
This guy looks like a Mercinary and is seen near Boba Fett when Bosh is talking with Jabba about the price for Chewie.
This guy is a fan of Yarnal Gargan and he is "raising the roof" and clapping at the end of her dance. I need to resculpt his lower tunic to look like one long shirt with no belt.
AK Rev is a figure they gave us with these crazy legs for an inaccurate movie pose. He never stands like that in the film! I have replaced them with Hoth Han legs and they are a very close match so I am going with it to save some sculpting time.
Another Wequay, this guy first opens a window cover and tries to shoot Luke then comes out at the end and battles him on the deck before taking a lightsaber to the chest. I plan to do his hair with hemp thread.
Sgt. Doallyn is on the second skiff right up front and gets shoved to the ground by Chewbaca when Bosh and him enter the Palace Throne Room. This helmet is from my old custom, just a place holder as I want to sculpt an exact helmet and have it cast.
Here is one of my old customs along with his updated version. I am sculpting the hat for him along with changing the lower legs a bit. This guy is the Human gunner that replaces the Nikto gunner durring the battle on the deck of the barge.
Group shot of Wave 1, there will be 1 more figure in this wave but he was missing durring this photo shoot.
