Re: Jaeger45's Customs--UPDATE 8/24 Rayc Ryjerd—Jabba’s Palace

Rayc Ryjerd—possibly played by Arnold Lee?



Rayc was a collaboration with Stan and our friend Kai.  Head was obtained from Stan, who was kind enough to design and decal the ribbon.  The base figure is VC Luke Crait, with forearms from Dr. Evazan. I swapped out feet with Rose Tico for height.  Custom torso, soft goods, belt, buckle, and pouches.

Just a phenomenal figure. I had this on the front page yesterday, not sure where my comments went though. Maybe its just me getting old. Great figure though!

Somehow, these figures keep getting better and better.  That robe is the nicest piece of soft goods that I've ever seen!

The Priest—Actor Unknown







The Priest—another deep backgrounder from Jabba’s Palace and Sail Barge.  There’s a Luke Endor figure under there, head is a 90s Jean Luc Picard cast, boots are cast from a Prince of Persia figure.  Custom soft goods, shoulder plaquard, and belt.  Thanks to Stan for the pouch sculpt!

I tried something new for the collar/shoulder plaquard that gave a very nice fit.  I typically use Moldstar 20T silicone for resin casting.  In this case, I drizzled a bit of silicone over Luke’s neck, upper torso, and shoulders, and allowed it to cure. 

This left a nonstick surface, over which I could sculpt the piece in Super Sculpey, oven bake the whole thing, and carefully remove.  I then molded and resin cast the Sculpey piece.  The resulting collar conforms perfectly with just enough room for thin soft goods underneath, and has more durability than the Sculpey.  Will definitely be using this technique on future projects.

Make it so!

Hoover and Rockwart



Hoover and the Rockwart.  Thanks to Kai and his sculptor Andreas for letting me take a crack at molding and casting these!  I can’t take any credit for their incredible sculptures, I just cast and painted them.  Will be great additions to Jabba’s Palace!

And a big thank you for all the positive comments and words of encouragement.  Most of the soft goods are actually quite simple if you’ve used a sewing machine a few times.  If anyone has done a bit of sewing and wants a pdf with the patterns, shoot me a pm with your email and I’d be happy to forward it along.  Enjoy!
