Yakfinities # 22 - WINNER DECLARED!

[YAK_Chewie]

I really liked this theme because there's a lot of room for variety, as well as customs from this month can really go into so many various dioramas if people don't specifically have podrace scene dioramas. So, I made 5 customs for our 22nd customizing challenge -


Trian Bowns - Boonta Eve podrace spectator. He just likes to attend in the chances of meeting Sebulba's Twi'lek slaves (always had a fetish for blue skin).

head - Tantive IV Rebel
torso - TAC Myoom Oonith
arms - Comic Pack Hett
tunic - TAC Myoom Oonith
legs - ROTS Count Dooku
scarf - TGC Sam Elliot



Huedo Gorsmaggle - Boonta Eve podrace spectator who is also a Mos Espa textile merchant.

head - POTF2 Hammerhead
hat - POTF2 Rancor Keeper
torso - Indiana Jones Sallah
arms - Indiana Jones Sallah
hands - POTF2 Hammerhead
tunic - Indiana Jones Sallah



Braffel Stor'kessel - Boonta Eve Podrace gambler (always bets on Sebulba). He's known for mistreating his slaves.

head - POTJ Tessek
torso - Indiana Jones Cairo Thug
biceps - Indiana Jones Cairo Thug
forearms - Indiana Jones Sallah (from Sallah's biceps)
wrist/hands - POTJ Tessek
legs - TAC Quinlan Vos



Teedle B'ilimissir - Boonta Eve podrace spectator, and also slave of Braffel Stor'kessel (hates Sebulba and his master). The podraces are his only chance at entertainment, so he rarely misses them.

head - OTC Greedo
torso - ROTS PLo Koon
arms - TAC Po Nudo
hands - OTC Greedo
tunic - ROTS Count Dooku
legs - ROTS Plo Koon



Matilda Iceburn - Boonta Eve podrace gambler who likes to bet on the underdogs.

If it's Podrace spectators, i have the parts of a figure i was gonna paint and put together ages ago sitting in a jar and this would be the perfect motivation to put him together.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

^ Sounds good... if I have time, I'll probably come up with a pilot or two as well. Maybe even a modified dewback pulling a podracer (doubtful, but it would be cool).

:wink:

 

[jedistyle]

Here is my Gotal podrace spectator...I'm thinking of repainting the vest, but I'm not sure which color would flow best - any suggestions?

 

[Darth Kikinou]

Very creative coloring on the Gotal! I love it!

 

[Darth Kikinou]

This is a droid used by the bookies to collect their winnings after the races...

 

[Darth_Ennis]

Sweet!!

I'm glad to see teh forums back up and running. I've been a little out of comission for the last week. ( @#$#@ car repairs :evil: )

Okay, just so I'm clear on this are we doing just podracers or are we including all Episode 1 characters as well? Even if they weren't at the podrace?

Either way I actually have an idea or 2 for some racers and spectators.

I just would like to know.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I think we're looking at anyone (or creature) that could have been at Boonta Eve... so, Sio Bibble wouldn't count, but Kitster and Wald would.

So would fan fic characters... make sense?

:wink:

 

[darth_sidious]

Very creative coloring on the Gotal! I love it!

Thank you, here is another pic, I made a custom podrace banner as well:

 

[Robo-Quack]

That looks really cool, darth_sidious! Way to put an OT alien in a Podracing crowd.

I gotta get to work! I might have more than one entry this month.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I was already a fan of the custom, but the flag/banner puts it over the top - extremely well done!

:wink:

 

[darth_sidious]

Thanks guys, glad you like it - I look forward to seeing other peoples work as well. :wink:

Here's something I made to go in my Boonta Eve Podrace Diorama !!

 

[Darth Kikinou]

That's... amazing!!! Where is the chair from? And how did you get the skirt to bend so nicely?? Can I buy a few of those from you? Well done!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Yeah that's amazing... always did like that custom Boonta Eve scene that you made Rodger, and seeing more customs like this to fill it is a treat. Very well done.

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Anyone rolling out any more customs for the current Yakfinities?

Since we extended this to two months, I'm thinking we're going to announce TWO winners this round, so that doubles your chances of winning. So get those entries in folks!

:wink:

 

[stormtripper]

I am going to try and squeeze one out........and make a custom too! :roll:

 

[no-wan]

That's... amazing!!! Where is the chair from? And how did you get the skirt to bend so nicely?? Can I buy a few of those from you? Well done!

Thanks Much !!

I made the chair out of Wood. It has no back neither does the Tunic. I bent it by softening it up with Heat Gun then positioning it and running it under cold water.

Sorry but I have no plans to make any more... Figure Doctor I am not !!

 

[no-wan]

Yeah that's amazing... always did like that custom Boonta Eve scene that you made Rodger, and seeing more customs like this to fill it is a treat. Very well done.

Thanks CHEWIE !!

I am planning on Updating it with some Spectator stands and make some items to trade for custom figures to fill them with !!
