YAKFINITIES # 16 - "No Paint Kit Bashes"

[CloneTrooperJR]

Active Jedi Archivist. (Working Title)
Always two there are.

Just because I want to give Ralph a Tribute in my future photo novel... He will be a Archivist - And he'll have some wonderful exploits with Jocasta Nu when they were young. Hmm... Interesting... This concept was brought to when I saw a picture with Nu, then a picture of Ralph. I thought how many similarities them seemed to have. Enough to pair them up and call them a day. One would stay back in the Library and one would now go on missions. Afterall, Nu has to stay, and someone has to go.

He still lacks abit in my opinion - but have yet decided what it is.
Without furthur adieu

You don't want to be his enemy - Though he is old, Size matters not.

Head - General Mcqurrie
Torso - TSC Han in Carbonite
Hands - TAC Han Solo
Holster - Yavin Luke
Legs - McQuarrie Luke
Armour TSC Gunner

The saber is made from a Kubrick Lando in Disguise - But cutting the spear and cutting two holes. No glue was used in this, and the tip fits perfectly with the Mcquarrie blade. It also stabs into Koffi just right!

Detailed pictures.

You guys are totally kicking butt this month! Wow! I'll try and comment on them all soon when I get a chance to review them better.

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Ok, here's my thoughts on what you guys have all come up with -

stormtripper - Nice assembly, my only thought is I wonder if there are any other parts that might match colors better, like using the Comic Pack Hett arms? Either way, I still like this one.

Darth Kikinou - All look nice and I always like Ithorians... out of this batch I really like the crocodile and Yakface the most... as for Yak's hands, I say if you find something you like more, then go for it!

Ars30 - These are so good it's hard to tell that they're not painted! The Bounty Hunter looks stellar, great idea using Goof-Off on the boots. And the Bith Jedi is just amazing. Excellent use of parts and the Biggs is awesome - looks just like I'd vision him in the Imperial Academy while flying.

Robo-Quack - Thanks for joining in the fun Quack! I really like Jacen and the Arncons... especially the Arcona for some reason. That's just a perfect assembly of parts.

LT Fett - I'm a sucker for Rodians so this one is right up my alley. Very clean/crisp custom.

Jayson - Great work my friend, simple yet very effective. This one makes perfect sense, I could see Hasbro throwing this into a Battle Pack at some point...

saddestwookiee - I like it, this species is very under-represented in Star Wars in my opinion, so seeing a Jedi is a lot of fun.

Super_Commando - Nice work, I especially like the Tran figure... you don't see that species much, but this is exactly how I would picture one of them - very well done!

darth_frisco - Heh, I really like the Vader Trooper for some reason.

CloneTrooperJR - Nice work... the stub leg is a good touch, but what I really like is the chain attached to the saber. Very cool, bugt the Obi Wan really takes the cake, awesome! I also really like the Jedi archivist - and his weapons are very well done.

jedistyle - Leave it to you to make something that really does look like an official figure! Very well done!

Fritzkrieg - I really like that Covert Ops guy, and it's amazing what you were able to do with the Sigma Six torso... the yellow spacer is also excellent. I think your Ithorian Merc is my favorite out of the whole contest this month. The CSF-SWAT is cool too.

red_skeleton7 - Interesting work, and very intriguing Sith-esque guy...

Delaton - Thanks for sharing your work over here, I really like the Padawan... very effective parts match up.

Paulskywalker - Wow, I like the Dark Sora figure a lot - looks very natural. Big Head is also a fun figure, kind of amusing.

Finally, here's a couple more that I made for this month -

Lava Ti - This is just a no paint kit bash for this month's Yakfinities.

head - SAGA Twilek
torso - POTC Swan
arms - POTC Swan
legs - POTC Swan
hands - SAGA Twilek


Rykrof Enloe - I found my first McRebel last night, and naturally I was inclined to take it apart for a custom...

head - SAGA Endor Rebel
torso - TAC Concept Rebel
arms - VSTC Han Solo
hands - can't remember
legs - TAC Concept Luke

:wink:

 

[Ars30]

Thanks Chewie,
I Think It Comes from Being a Graphic designer and knowing color theory &
Color Matching.
I Actually Used This pic from Empire #9 For Reference on the Biggs Figure

I think Later I will Try A Biggs in Uniform Based on this Pic.
I Just Wish Hasbro Hadn't Put The Head stocking on the new Hobbie Pilot Because That's Him With Biggs.
It Would have Been A couple of easy customs.

[Super_Commando]

[Clone Wars]

Hello

This is a great custom thread. A couple pictures turned out blurry, sorry.

I dont have time tonight to post the recipes, but will update the post in the next couple days.

Thanks for lookingand enjoy all the jedi, smugglers, troops, and part swaps to make a existing figure better.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Wow, talk about some awesome entries, and a lot at that! Awesome stuff! My favorite has to be either the Quarren or the Trandoshan... they look like official figures.

Also here's another batch I was able to throw together tonight...

ARS-Y27 - This is a droid that is owned by Freelo in the next chapter in the Rykrof Enloe series.

dome - Micro Machines Cloud City
base - POTJ FX-7
antenna - TAC LIN Droid


Clone Commander - Simple as hell but I really like this one... no painting, but I did use a bit of Goof-Off on it.

head - TAC Neyo
chest armor - TAC McQuarrie Rebel
rest - ROTS #41 Clone


Telisa the Hottie - This little chica is going to be in the Rykrof Enloe series at some point.

head - The Golden Compass figure
rest - TAC Fireside Padme

:wink:

 

[saddestwookiee]

Yes, I think that the Hnemthe are underrepresented, as well, Chewie. There is a nice pic of a Hnemthe Jedi from one of the species guides, and I'd like to see a figure that looked like that!

Clone Wars, I love your Jedi. I like making Jedi best because there are so many species that can be represented in their ranks. I love the Givin. I wanted to try doing one with the new Luke's body. I think that would look awesome!

 

[Horse_Head]

So here's my entry for this month...

This is Puffy Shirt Han. He was at dinner with Chewie and Chewie's girlfirend, who's one of those 'low-growlers', when he inadvertently agreed to wear this shirt on his next spice run. He's a true Pirate!

Recipe:

Head - Comic Pack Han Trooper
Arms - Umpass-Stay
Torso - Tatooine Luke
Legs - Unknown Imp
Hands - Unknown

 

[Phalanxx]

wow chewie, that last batch of your turned out great. Hard to believe they are unpainted kit bashes.

Here are my entries.

Mace Windu in Clone Wars Armor

Kubasz Soldier

Badlands Patrol Clone Trooper

 

[Paulskywalker]

Horse_head: Puffy shirt Han is cool, that would make a great comic story.

Phalanxx: Your Kabuz and Mace are great, but i espicially like your Badlands Clone.
