Bad to the bone! Awesome work there!

Thanks guys! I really enjoyed those last few.  

This next one is probably one of my better done ones, even though I've only worked on it for a few hours. I had been wanting to make this for a while, just never had any inspiration until I saw some figures that would be perfect!

May I present, Gran Jedi Master Maks Leem from "Yoda: Dark Rendezvous." She was on a mission escorting master Yoda to Vjun before she was killed by Asajj Ventress.

I like her. Off to the front page.

Cool.  What's her recipe?  Do I recognize Mawhonic's head and feet or is that the Gran Republic Senator whose name escapes me.

Thanks guys!

And the recipe:
Mawhonics head and feet (good call, Sjefke)
AOTC Aayla Secura torso
TCW Mace Windu legs and robe (the edition with the Jango Fett helmet, it has better articulation)
Movie Heroes Queen Amidala outer robe and arms (the arms were originally only swivel, so I grabbed some ball joint ones out of my extras and shaped them together)

[Sjefke]

......  and arms (the arms were originally only swivel, so I grabbed some ball joint ones out of my extras and shaped them together)

Do you have pics of that process on this or another project?   
Thanks

This is an update of one of the figures I did for the Clone Wars customs contest: Bo Katan

First, my favorite shot.    


Now some detail shots with Vibro-knife extended.


And some action poses.


Some additional accessories.

Macro-binoculars



Tactical Datapad



Oxygen Filtration system w/ land mines




Grappling Hook




I used magnets in the belt and back to attach the air tank, jet pack, and the other accessories.


The grappling hook is attached with some pins that are stuck through the plastic and fit into holes into the left gauntlet.


This one was a ton of fun. Let me know what you think!

......  and arms (the arms were originally only swivel, so I grabbed some ball joint ones out of my extras and shaped them together)

Do you have pics of that process on this or another project?  
Thanks

Sorry, I don't! But basically I cut each section of arm in complimentary angles to each other, and then glued them together and hid the seem with some clay/paint.

Great looking Gran Jedi! Bo Katan looks cool too. Nice use of what I believe is either a Microman Catwoman or Batgirl body for your Bo Katan.

Kelcken you are reminding me I need to go see the new TCW with this update. Off to share.

[Sjefke]

Thanks Kelken

Nice Bo Kataan.  What scale is she and what base figure did you use?  From the shape of the legs, I would have said MU X-23 sculpt, but there are screws below her butt  ( down, you dirty minded animals ! ).  The wrists are also ball jointed and the elbows look double hinged, wile the knees look like simple ball joits.  I cant place it.

.  

I-am-Boba-Fett nailed it, it is a microman Catwoman body, 1:18 scale. The wrists are actually just swivel, but the hands have a hinge in them. It comes with about 10 interchangeable hands. Knees are also double hinged, with a swivel up by the hip. You can usually find microman action figures at around $20 on eBay, they are my favorite to use because they have great articulation.

[Clonehead]

Very sweet work up on this one. Love all of the accessories.
That is some killer articulation on that figure.

[kelcken]

Customs from the latest contest!

Odan-Urr and Exar Kun









Main Reference photos


Both figure are made using Takara Microman bases, which have outstanding articulation. 

I sculpted or made all of the armor and clothing. 

On Odan-Urr, the head and both feet are completely sculpted.

I used a Darth Bane head on Exar Kun, and sculpted the hair on. This was my first attempt at sculpting hair, and I think it turned out well.

Let me know what you think!!

[Tamer]

Now this just looks fantastic. What an epic fight scene. Off to share.

[krztfr]

looks good where did the double blade lightsaber come from? is it a sculpt also?
