Yakfinities #29 - Teams

[stormtripper]

hey guys, well long time no post, I have been busy with the birth of our 3rd son (Cowan Jack (co-jack) 7p7oz, work (tons getting ready for the 2010 winter olympic games), school (just completed my 1st yr of elevator schooling), just about going on strike (50 votes seperating strike and no strike).... and I think that I suggested teams in the first place so I had to get a team put togather, I have missed a few yakfinities so blah blah blah here is my team:

 

[Docoutlands]

security holo #003726; Concourse 2-Besh, Sector Isk-0992:
Routine scan; armed subjects identified as licensed bounty hunters. Incident files appended. No outstanding warrants. Status: transient passengers. Recommendation: Flag Yellow Protocol.

This is my son Brendan's bounty hunter team in their final shot. He pulled off everything on his own, save for base-coating the Airborne helmet, drilling the hole to mount the jetpack, and coughing up a datapad, biker scout pistol, and Indy satchel. I took care of those.

 

[Docoutlands]

Unfortunately, my sniper team is not going to make it. June turned into a rotten month for me to accomplish much, thanks to everyone in the family getting sick, dropping a T-post driver on my head, and just miserably HOT weather that saps my ability to do anything.

However, that means I now can take the time I need to learn how to achieve some effects I wanted, but for which I lacked the skills. So, in the end, I think the figures will turn out better overall for not being finished in time for *this* deadline.

 

[CUYVALDAR]

Here's mine:

 

[Ars30]

Here's My Freighter Crew:

Captain/Pilot:

Copilot/Navigator:

Cargo Master:

Cargo Loader

 

[YAK_Chewie]

You guys are amazing. Ifeel ashamed that I have not commented more yet, just so many great entries... I think this might be the best one of these to date... :shock:

:wink:

 

[Darth Kikinou]

Gorgeous set! I _love_ the protocol droid as a Jedi, very creative!

So many great entries!

I myself am still partial to DOTD's entries though, I gotta say

 

[darth_sidious]

Thats a cool cargo loader droid - I can imagine seeing something like that in the CW, good part combo.

 

[DanOfTheDead]

Sorry I'm so behind on commenting, but I think it's amazing how strong a turn out we had this month. Things slowed down for a week or so and I'd thought we seen pretty much all the submissions that were going to come in, the last minute surprises have been awesome!

I think, figure for figure, this has to be a record for Yakfinities by a long shot! I tried doing a tally the other night and lost count around 50 or so figures!

Everyone's really gone all out, this may be a hard project for us to ever top!

Great job everyone, I'll try to post some further comments once we see the wrap up!

Thanks DK, honestly my six year old thought up the idea for him. His back story, the only one I have really, is that his skull/face was badly damaged on the battle field, so they quickly fixed him up as best they could and placed a protocol droid face and head plate over it too keep it safe.

 

[darth_sidious]

Now that this round is over, it will be great to see the roundup. There was such a variety of entries, that its hard to keep up with all of them!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I agree, so many fantastic entries it was hard to keep up! I still have several I need to take a closer look at.

Also, the random winner will be announced soon... I'd say Friday will be the "big day."

:wink:

 

[jedistyle]

wow, those are some great entries, everyone has done such great work on this yakfinities challenge......

stormstripper - nice group, i like how they look more martial arts oriented with all the extra clothes and bladed weapons. good work.

docoutlands - you and your son did a great job on that group of bounty hunters, especialy the one with the airborne helemt, the green grey black combo looks great. the computer read out introduction you did was very creative and entertaining, good job all around!

cuyvaldar - those are some nice jedi, the duros is my favorite i think, the protocol droid headed jedi is very creative. for using the obiwan body on 4 of these figures you really did a good job painting them different and giving them all thier own individual look, good work!

ars30 - great looking frieghter crew, all the charecters are very well done. i really like the look you achieved with the vos hair on the kota head. the droid and cargo master look great! do you have a ship in the works for them?

Actually Jedistyle I Picked This up Saturday at a Fleamarket for $3.

I Always Thought it Would Make A Good Freighter In The SW Universe.
It's Missing alot of pieces But I Think I Can Make new doors out of styrene.
If Anybody Knows where I Might Find Parts for it Please Let Me Know

Thanks Js....I used to have a boat load of those obi-wans. I must have bought at least 30 of them at one time or another. Sad really lol.

Thanks for the compliments on them. The duros and the c3po are my favs of the bunch.

First Off I want to Say That I Think this has Been One of The Best Yakfinities As of Late Great Turn-out.
Normally I Don’t Comment a lot on People’s Customs, Because I Don’t Feel Comfortable About Leaving Critiques on Other’s Work. I Do Look At Everything Posted Here and In The Creations section.
But I’m Trying to Open Me Self up A Little Bit, But At My Age I Don’t Know How Much of Difference It Will Make.
Allen

Ausy526: All Of These great I Especially Like The Twins.

BobHendricks: I Like You Take Of The Hand of Judgement And Mara. I Can Envision This As The Look Zahn Was Going For.
The HammerHead Brothers Definitely Give Me The Feeling Of The MoMo Brothers From the KOTOR Comic.

Count Blahh: A Basic And Simple Paint Scheme But Very Effective, The Battle Damage Is Very Realistic.

Cuy’val Dar: Your Jedi are Great and Very Distinct From Each Other While using The Same Body on a Couple of Them. I Also Like the Background On The Jedi with The Protocol Mask.

Docoutlands: Tell Your Son He Definitely Has A Good Future in Customizing. My Favorite Is The Little Alien In the Middle.

Dan of the Dead: What Can I Say That Hasn’t Already Been Said on The Renegades Except That They are Executed with Perfection. I Think The Wookiee Is My Favorite of The Team.
The Imperial Task Force Is Also Executed with Perfection My Favorite Her Is The Female Nice Use Of The Uhura Body From S.T. I Can Believe She Has Stockings On As To Why Her Legs are tan.

Ernest Borgnine: Your Jedi Team Is Great I Especially Like The Female and The Barefoot Jedi. Which
You Don’t See in The Movies But I Would Like To Believe That a Few Jedi That Were in Touch With Force In Such A Way The They Would Go Barefoot To Commune With The Force Better ( ala’ The Hippies Of The Sixties)
Your Second Team Is Also Executed Perfectly The Smirk On The Captain’s Face Along With No Shirt Just Blends Excellently. Would Love To See More Up-Close Shots Of The Redhead.

Jedistyle: As Usual Your Paint Apps Are Flawless The Execution of These Three Is Perfect.

Darth Kikinou: You Have A Amazing Talent for Picking The Right Parts for Your Jedi All Of Them A Executed To Perfection. My Favorite would have to Be The Givin Jedi
The Coruscant Police Are Great Very Subtle Changes And You Have A Great Little Army Builder.
Those Bodies Look Much Better as Police or Security Than A Imperial Pilot.

Luke Sprywalker: Although I’m Really Not A Fan Of The CW Bodies This Team Is Executed to Perfection. It Is A Team I Could Envision As Episode Of The Series.

Order66Outlaw: Great Execution on The Robotic Hit Squad I Love The Japanese Look You Gave The IG Droids.

Darth Sidious: Once Again Your Piecing of Fodder Is Great My Favorite Is The Female.

Stormtripper: I Love These Great Execution With Such A Simple Swap Of Parts.

Tonphanan: Great Team Once Again Great Execution. My Favorite is the Gand.

Chewie: For Some Reason I Can’t See All Of Your Pics. But From What I See And Remember They Are Executed To Your Usual Perfection And Perfect Paint Apps.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Sorry about that, I think my pics are showing now... also I was starting to work on the roundup report, and realized there are over 100 customs made for this Yakfinities... :!:

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Alright guys, this roundup took a while to compile, you guys are getting hard to keep up with, yeesh!

Really, excellent participation this round everyone, I think this has to be the most successful Yakfinities Customizing Challenge we've ever had... check out over 100 customs submitted with the TEAMS theme!

Now, with so many entries, it felt wrong to not do a little more of a prize than usual. I would LOVE to start doing bigger stuff, and maybe at some point we can if we start seeing more sponsorship come into the forum. For now, what you see is what I am able to afford to hand out for random winners without using any sponsorship money - this time, we're doing 6 figures - the first place winner gets to choose 3 figures, second place gets to choose 2, and the third place winner gets the last figure that is left.

Here are the 6 figures that are up for grabs:

- Captain Needa (comes with U-3PO left leg)
- Quarren Soldier (comes with dome)
- Hoth Rebel Trooper (comes wtih U-3PO right arm)
- IG Lancer Droid (comes with R4-J1 torso)
- BARC Trooper (comes with clone weapons locker)
- Tarados Gon (comes with HK-47 left arm)

So, without further delay, here we go:

FIRST PLACE - Order66Outlaw

SECOND PLACE - CUYVALDAR

THIRD PLACE - DanoftheDead

I'm going to be going out of town for a while, so the way this works is for first, Order66Outlaw needs to post in this thread which 3 figures he wants - after that, CUYVALDAR should post the 2 that he wants, and DanoftheDead gets the remaining figure.

After you have posted in this thread what you want, please email me your shipping information at rykrofenloe@yahoo.com - and if you are an opener, please let me know so it saves me a few bucks on shipping. You'll get all the accessories, B.A.D. parts, etc.

Congrats everyone, and looking forward to Yakfinities #30 - The Old Republic!

:wink:

 

[Order66Outlaw]

Wow totally unexpected for sure...I was just excited to participate with so many amazing customizers. Chewie, I don't know if this would be ok or not. I would like to choose one figure and give Dan the other two in honor of his perserverance through this tough time in his life. In which case I think it only fitting I choose the IG Lancer Droid since I do love droids. Thanks and congrats to everyone on a truly awesome Customizing Challenge!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

That is certainly your call all the way, and a very nice gesture (all the more reason why I contend this place has some of the nicest people around). If you indeed want to go that route, then we will let DanoftheDead choose TWO figures next, then CUYVALDAR picks TWO and then DanoftheDead gets the remaining figure.

Dan is a great member of our community here, and we had planned on doing something special for him, which was discussed internally here only - would need to get several people involved for it to work, and the end result would be him not receiving it for a couple months. It's not something of a lot of monetary value, but would be more sentimental than anything. We kind of got behind the ball on it as he was able to get home quicker than expected and were unsure if the idea would work, but maybe it would after all.

:wink:
