wow Congratulations Straxus! that was a really great entry. great job to everyone else too. these turned out great. they could be waves of unleashed themselves.
Wow! What a pleasant suprise! Woke up, stumbled to the computer to browse forums and saw this! Great morning with no coffee needed to jump start it!
Thanks for the kind words everyone! I was having ALOT of fun with this them this month. I had actually also planned a small group of elite stormtroopers and had started a sculpt of a young attack rancor based on a Marvel Legends Sasquatch figure as a base, however my new job has been kicking my butt so I just didnt have the energy or time to finish them.
There are so many absolutely awesome entries this month!
Jedistyle: As always, absolutely love that weathering technique you use as well as the rest of the painting! The galactic marine helmet fit well with the stormtrooper body. With that body/helmet combo it gives me the impression these guys deal with environments with alot of rain.
Robo-Quack: That combo of Koffi Arana body and Royal Guard helmet does go together really well! I might have to try that combo myself sometime! The Emperor! Yes! Very nice combo of parts to create what could be the best emperor figure I have seen!
The story behind the disguise is great too!
Chewie: Great combo of parts on that jedi! The torso armor and use of a blaster does well to help with disguising him. I didnt even realize it was a General Madine head at first.
The Stormtrooper. Wow! The concept trooper helmet looks perfect with that combo of parts! An army of these guys would be really cool!
Darth Nirvana: Great use of the DS Gunner and combo of parts for the jedi as is the combo for the troopers! While not so sure on the choice of the first helmet as it looks too mandalorian for a stormtrooper, though the second one definitely looks like it could be a variation stormtrooper helmet! The selection of parts is really good and I like the double shoulder plate on their right shoulders. Reminds me fo the Darth Revan shoudlers.
What did you use for the weapons slings?
Metal Jedi: I like this alot! Though what is the recipe? Must know!
That torso armor is really cool!
Stormtripper: I like the camo on that first trooper! Looks perfect for a forest that either has alot of light colored moss or mushrooms growing on the trees!
Very curious how you aquired the weathered look of the second trooper (and loved the use of that helmet for a stormtrooper!) Looks very cool!
The parts combo for the Royal Guard are great!
Johnboy Walton: That Rodian is amazing! I would love to somehow get a cast of that figure head you made. Definitely THE most unique Rodian custom I have ever seen!
Incom: Aside from it always being nice to see my helmet casts being used in customs, like the body with the gun and helmet. All together definitely shows a trooper with ALOT of firepower who is armored enough to survive the debris thrown back his way from his destroyed victims!
Running out of time at the moment, though I will comment on the rest of your guy's customs soon! I promise! Wanted to over the last few days but as I said, work has me exausted.

ahhh ok! I have never even seen a McRebel in stores. Sadly now that I live in the city its harder to find action figures...
Also, I'd like to again congratulate everyone on such a great month... I think this was the best overall month we've had. Amazing variety of talents and results.

Some pretty cool stuff, I liked it better than I will like the game, most likely.

Thanks guys!
This was another one I was working on for the contest though ran out of time.
The plan was that he was a security droid on the waste covered world of Raxus Prime. (as some events in the game take place there)
Raxus Prime Wookieepedia Link
Recipe (so far):
4-LOM body with resculpted upper torso front.
Head is new sculpt using a commander cody helmet cast as a base.

Ya, had ALOT in the works for Force Unleashed. So much potential! Sadly with the new job, so little time. I had alot of fun with this theme (not just because I won). I felt alot more creative than I have felt in a few months. It gave me that "customizing boost" hehe.
Did anyone else have other Force Unleashed customs that didnt make the deadline for the contest? I would love to see them!

I have an Imperial Officer in the works, which fits nicely in TFU time frame. I don't know about you, but I feel the TFU time frame is kinda the same as the RotE era. You know, from ROTS till the events in ANH.
