@Ghostskull18: Thank you, yes I really like that Clone Wars bazooka weapon. I really have to find some more of those at some point.

@Tamer: Hopefully someday there really will be books or movies at least to bring the adventure to life.

@Nickeltcd: Thank you so much! Glad you like the weapons, I have a lot of fun, and a lot of frustration with trying to come up with realistic explanations and good names for all the tech of Star-Fall. It's a fun challenge.

@Starchaser: Thank you. Secondary characters (and 3rd, and 4th, etc.) were always something I felt helped make sci-fi stories successful. Star Wars is a great example of that. So plan to see tons of secondary/background characters in Starfall.

Speaking of secondary characters, here is a female Star-Cav marine communications specialist serving aboard The Dreamer's Burden. The Star-Cav marines are some of the toughest soldiers in the star cluster, ready to take on any challenge and turn the tide of any battle.













Thank you for viewing, and please share your feedback on how you think I am doing.

Nice, update on the front page.

Are all of those modified Irana Spalko figures? You've done a great job creating a diverse looking cast with what appears to be one major figure base!

[ghostskull18]

Awesome!

[StarFall]

@Tamer: Thank you!

@Smeagol92055: Yes they are. I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of them. Only 3 more female officer characters to post and then it's time for the male Star-Cav officers to debut. Thank you! I like doing slight variations on the same base (i.e. Imperial troopers), so this has been nice, and I want to show a wide range of different ranks and characters for my story.

@Thanks!

I've taken a break from my Starfall work to start a gender-swapped side project, which will be my other main customizing focus in addition to Starfall. To kick things off I made 2 versions of gender-swapped Boba Fett (check the Bounty Hunter contest thread) which I call Bebe Fett. I have made an animated first appearance 1978 Holiday Special cartoon version and an Empire Strikes Back version. They are both as close to 100% screen-accurate as possible. Everything is hand painted. I even soaked the TESB cape in tea to darken it like the one in the movies.

In keeping it scree-accurate I went with a completely practical fully armored female Fett, as opposed to the bikini armor-clad ones we often see. I grew up with Boba Fett's origins shrouded in mystery and that's how I like it, so I had no interest in making a removable helmet or showing any of her skin. I'll leave that to your imaginations.

I will be doing a third Return of the Jedi version of Bebe Fett too as part of my "Femme Fettales" series. I have a female Han solo in the works as well, so plan to see a lot of these soon.

The Empire Strikes Back:





















More Starfall coming soon!

I love the gender swap idea.  Ive I've suggested that as the theme for a ISY challenge.
Excellent paint job BTW. 
How did you manage to transfer the Mythosaur skull emblem?  Did you slice off the plastic or kitbash Boba's arms?

[ghostskull18]

Very cool! Really like the holiday one!

[Tamer]

I featured these on our announcement section of Custom Acton Figure News last night. Very nice looking gals!

[spudafett]

These gender swapped boba's are fantastic.  Your paint apps are very crisp on the holiday special version.  The majority of the figures are just part swaps I'm assuming, with the torso being from the EE exclusive clone/mando packs with the female mandos.   With that knowledge the mythosaur skull on the shoulder of the ESB version is the stock decal correct? 

However, the chest emblem is hand painted, and that came out looking fantastic.  The weathering and all the other paint applications are very well done too on the ESB version.

@Sjefke: I too am a big fan of the whole gender-swapping concept, though I feel the OT is pretty much either all male, or all female if you do pure gender-swapping. Thank you. The mythosaur is from a less articulated ROTJ Boba Fett (maybe one of the ones that comes with the rocket flames stand). I used a brand new X-acto blade to very carefully remove it as paper-thin as possible. Then I trimmed it down and glued it onto the already painted shoulder armor. Over the yellow of the shoulder pad I painted a small light gray/beige area to add a bit more room to the mythosaur "patch". The arms are Clone Wars mandos which work nicely for a smaller more feminine frame.

@Ghostskull18: Thank you! Yes the holiday special one is my favorite too!

@Tamer: Wow! That really made my day! Thank you so much! Glad I could make something to help ISY boost the contest.

@Spudafett: Thank you, that's high praise coming from a man with "Fett" in his username, and a talented customizer such as yourself. Yep, it's a lot of kitbashed parts, a little scratch building (like the animated Fett's Wookie pelts). Good eye, yes that's the female Mando torso from the EE exclusive boxed sets. Check my comment to Sjefke for more details on the mythosaur. Yes I hand-painted the chest emblems, both the white one and Fett's LED readouts. Thank you! Yeah I looked at tons of reference pictures and pushed myself to get as close to the actual paint and weathering on everything as possible. All the dents, scuffs, and dings should be nearly in the right places. Looking at Hasbro's 6" ESB Fett after I finished this 4" version made me so frustrated with Hasbro for sloppy and lazy paint apps that do not match the ones in the movie at all.

Thank you for your comments and feedback, everyone. It's invaluably helpful!

Now we're heading back to the Altarus Star Cluster for more Starfall. This time I present to you the captain of The Dreamer's Burden, Aahtra Fyuriss, an Obozhian warrior turned Star-Cavalry officer.

She looks good on our front page.

Awesome!

@Tamer: Thank you so much!

@Ghostskull18: Thanks!

Disclaimer: Alright, I know we're supposed to post vehicles in the Custom Vehicle forum, but I wanted to keep all the Starfall universe to one thread. Vehicles for Starfall at this stage are rare and the real focus for my project is on character driven custom figures. So with the occasional rare exception, there will be no other vehicles on this thread.

That being said, I'm excited to be able to share this mini-rig with you! This is the XeniTrans Mantis. The Mantis is one of the most popular and commonly used personal transportation vehicles in the star cluster. It's durable, light-weight, fuel-efficient, and it gets you where you're going fast. The Mantis can be found on virtually every inhabited world, and comes in a civilian and police/military model. There is even a thriving Mantis-Motorsports racing industry and there are lots of upgrades and customizations that can be made to the vehicle. "Let Mantis move you to what matters."

Thank you for viewing!

[Tamer]

I think we can forgive you not putting in the vehicles thread, just this once. 

It looks even better on our front page. I am really enjoying your universe. I am already envisioning some huge Star Destroyer type Capital Ship that takes these characters around to different worlds for various missions and a bevy of all types of vehicles and ships.

[nickeltcd]

All i can say is WOW!!!!!
excellent stuff. i love your captain Fyuriss, the detail in the top not and color is just fantastic.
