No Paint Kit-Bash Rally!
« on: December 14, 2012, 03:59:20 AM »


Hello Shipyarders, today we are announcing the No Paint Kit Bash rally. In the holiday spirit of giving, this is not a contest, just friends having fun. The prize is the awesome figures you will be creating for your collection. We are going to have a time frame of the rest of December to the first two weeks of January (around the 11th). Open to any member of the Shipyards, make as many figures as you want. Also open to any toy line, this does not have to be a Star Wars figure, it can be anything from any line. The idea is to get us thinking about what parts look good together without painting anything. You are allowed to add greblies, bits, strapping or other "do-dads" as you wish.

Submit work in progress pics at any time during the event in this thread. When you ready to post your final entry please label it that way and we will try to get a voting thread set up to let folks here chose their favorite kit-bash custom just for fun. I encourage you to explain what you have done and list all parts used and mention what mods you made if any. So boil and pop away, build up your figures gear and have fun!

Message from Tamer: Please if you are quoting another member's pics when repsonding to their wip or final entry pics, please limit it to no more than one or two so I can peruse this thread to set up the voting thread when this is done. This would also be a great contest to get your little ones and significant others involved so we highly encourage everyone to get the entire family chopping and glueing for this one!

Great idea, Tamer!
I've been doing no-paint kitbashes recently, they are good fun to do.
Here are some NO ENTRY pics just to get the ball rolling. More in my custom figures thread.

Tamer, thanks for kicking this off!
Commander, great to see you giving us a taste of what you have been up to and a bit of inspiration.
I have a few ideas and I think we will also see some entries from my padawan, Jaxon Starkiller.

That would be awesome Justin. I might even have to get my dremel back out for this one too.

This lad is part of the concepting process for my Secret Santa gift (which is running late, of course).  Once I have the SSGift done, I'll go through a parts breakdown.

Looks great already...Jax Pavan maybe (from the Coruscant Nights series)?
                                           vvv

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

That was one of the inspirations, yes...   8)  The gift version will have paint-apps, so I posted up this lad for the NPKB.  I think I'm going to make one for myself once I finish the SSGift version and make some alterations to it...

Ouch... that purple text hurts.
(BTW!  KeKe is my daughter, so I guess she'll be using my workspace to customize while I'm away from home during the weeks...)

Can't wait to see what you come up with, girl!

Doc, I am a bit confused. Are you saying there is another Rally Thread?

KeKe had somehow managed to start a second thread.  Someone has gotten them merged now, tho.

I know we said this was a rally, but I am gonna personally donate a few prizes for this like fan favorite based on our vote, honorable mentions, etc.

I always like prizes! 0/
