Chipping away slowly at the complement of Skiff Guards.
Vedain and Gailid:
Vedain, played by Paul Weston.
I used Vizam's head and hands, due to the lighter coloration. Arms, hat, and feet are from the VC Nikto Skiff Guard, as is the belt piece; hat and belt are both modified a bit. Holster is cast from that of Sandstorm Lando. Chest is from the VC Rebel Commando. Legs are from the VC Weequay figure. I cast the wrist guards from Giran, and the backpack from POTF2 Barbara, and dyed the torso parts to varying degrees in Synthetic RIT Sandstone. Collar is Cricut vinyl. One of my favorites so far among the Skiff Guard customs.
Gailid, played by Billy Horrigan.
Gailid's body was Pax Bonkik, although Greedo would work just as well. Head is from the Rebel Technician, with added sculpting and soft goods, and Jango Fett's comm gear. Hands and neck are from the parts bin. Boots are from VC Phantom Menace Obi Wan. Belt is from Celebration Luke, with another holster cast from Lando. Although it may be difficult to see in the picture, I gave it a metallic green wash to try to imitate the fabric sheen. Had a heck of a time with the superglue joint rub protection on this figure; kept gluing the joints! Grrr. Finally got them all loose, but it wasn't pleasant.
Baga the Bordok (Realistic version.)
Really simple custom. My kids all seem to relate to the Ewoks EU material, especially enjoying a series of customs modified and cast from baby Nippet that we've decorated together. (Thanks to Sjefke for the idea, btw. He's got a really great series of these.) I found what appears to be an Icelandic pony in the Target Terra series that set me back less than $4, and, as I needed to get the creative juices going, decided they need a Baga. I split the hooves with an Xacto knife, added horns and a mane extension out of Fixit Sculpt, touched up the paint, and added a wash. Super fast, cheap, and fits nicely.
Thanks for checking these out!
