Yakfinities #48 - Clone Wars Characters

[hyperdrive]

There are some awesome custom figures in fhis thread!

Darth Streams, your work on the Mortis set of figures, with the cusrom packaging is great. My family loves the story arc and were disappointed that hasbro dexided not to create these memorable characters. They look awesome. The was quite a project for sureand the results are worthy of the effort. Great stuff.

Darth Naes, that is an excellent queen figure. The soft goods belnd perfectly with the paint. I love the work that you put into her head and crown. She looks exactly like the character from the show. Fantastic work.

Peakob, two awesome clones. Fury's helmet is just awesome looking. I love the different colors on his helmet. Always a pleasure to view your work. Make a platoon of those guys! The Neyo looks perfect. You did a great job with his logo. Arw those decals....or an incredible steady hand?

 

[Peakob1]

Neyo's logos are vinyl based printed decals. I also made his trooper and you can see a sample of the sticker on the figure in the creations section of the yakface forums under my name peakob1 thanks for the nice complements very much appreciated!

Fury's design on his helmet however is by hand
And hard to make the same on both sides.

Queen Miraj Scintel of Zygerria with her electro whip.

Very nice! Another one that I don't know who it is, but looks awesome.

:wink:

here are the next 2 from my "wave 3"...easy repaint and kitbashed dengar and clone tech, I was originally planning arc trooper commander echo for the clone of this wave plus "the (Mortis) father" but sometimes when i gather parts i need, parts for another idea come together more easily and figs get rearranged, i guess hasbro has simular scenerios, lol. So, it appears w/ what parts i have that i just realized will work well together, another fan-fave clone is in the works and possibly another simple repaint will conclude "wave 3" by memorial day

I like the clone tech on the left - also, I forgot that Dengar was the the Clone Wars cartoon.... gives me some inspiration - love it!

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Peakob1... I don't want to not mention your latest customs too... really like the animated Neyo... a touch of weathering might be nice, but it still looks awesome. Also the helmet details on Fury look great!

:wink:

 

[Peakob1]

Thanks Chewie! Yeah I think your right! i'm going to hit him with some scuffs!

Great work Chad altho on your Neyo you cheated, i hand painted my markings ... lol

 

[Peakob1]

Yours does look great I modeled mine after yours.
Neyo is one of my most favorite troopers in ROTS. I about fell off my chair when he appeared in the series.
Then I saw the art of the clone wars pictures and said, oh man I can use a Wolfe head if I can find an extra?
Then the next day look who makes one...? I was a little jealous, plus I was working at a place where I did the test run.
I have a whole page of them and I have a bunch of gunship nose art decals with no gunships to stick them on. Too bad I don't work there anymore

Jedi Master Even Piell from the Clone Wars episode the Citadel.

 

[r1g4r3po]

ok, here is clone 99, #5 for my wave 3, he could use another coat of painting and detailing, but i thought i'd go ahead and share a pic now

 

[hyperdrive]

Even Piell looks awesome. I love the character and your figure spot on. I'd love to see some action poses with him. Whats the recipe for your creation?

99 looks good, maybe just clean up the edges where the two colors meet. Other than that I'm glad to see this character made, he was important and deserves to have been made.

 

[hyperdrive]

Hello everybody. This is a character of my own design and creation. When I first saw the Hobbit action figures on the shelves, I noticed that they have decent hip joint articulation and many of the Elves remind me of Jedi. Tauriel the elven warrior, was recreated into a Clone Wars era Jedi who I have named Jedi Tau' Riel. Thanks for looking and if interested, more images can be viewed in my customs thread. Cheers!

 

[Evilivo]

Hypedrive, love your jedi/elf figure, nice work with the design and the execution of the softgoods I'd just love to have Tauriel - as a normal figure and as a base for customs, but she's not imported in Bulgaria and unfortunately she commands high price on Ebay

 

[DarthDaddy]

Really blown away by all the cool figures in here! I only have one of my Clone Wars pieces done so far and I am aggressively working on others too. This was just a quick head modifiction with some sculpted hair. I used Green Stuff to make her hair because of it's flexibility and it's unlikeliness to break off; unlike FIXIT, which can be brittle when sculpting hair of this type. A little paint and she was done. I used the Cad Bane elbows from his first release to give the Barriss Offee figure ball jointed articulated knees so she can do more Jedi stances. I finished her off with a set of Assaj Ventress lightsabers. I'd love to make the Assaj Ventress bounty hunter helmet and cape at some point.

ok, the 6th/final figure for my wave 3 is...QT-KT.
Pic shows white spots on the pink but it's really glare from camera, I took several pics at different angles and this was the best in that regard

I know my painting isn't as good as others but I am satisfied or some aspects may not be totally screen acurte like Trench's sleeves or Moralo's feet but i see it as better than hasbro's non-attempts. I am brain-storming wave 4 now and hope to have them done or at least in a presentable stage by end of this contest so I am looking at some cool characters and at least 1 clone again

 

[hyperdrive]

I think it looks great! You did a nice job with those very thin pink detail lines and the black and yellow hash marks on top of the dome. Your premise is 100% correct, no matter what skill level, any attempt by a customizer to create characters ignored by Hasbro is more appreciated than the 300th Anakin Skywalker offering. Keep it up! I still love that 99 figure that you shared with us!

DARTH DADDY, That Bariss Offee figure is insane! I love that hair. You really captured the look and feel of the character. Can you give us a breakdown of the steps? I'm not sure where factory ends and custom begins.....which is meant as a compliment by the way. Excellent work

 

[r1g4r3po]

updated Bo Katan w/ new belt I found and a cardback prototype, the name tag should be moved to top of color box instead of vintage ewok/droids style at bottom. plus I may need a better quality photo paper that won't print so dark for screen shot

 

[darth naes]

Nice job on Bo Katan r1g4r3po. The figure looks great and the card back is nicely done as well.

Some custom clone wars animated figures that would be great to see made would be Captain Typhus, the naboo security officer, using the body of the anakin naboo pilot figure and a clone head tweaked to incorporate his eye patch and hair would be great;
Dr Nuvo Vendi would be a gray villain to have since we don't have many main character "bad guys" besides droids and also from the same story arc having the female gungan Peppi Bau would be a great project for sum more experienced customizers.

Kit fistos droid from lair of grievous would be an easy repaint, so would ARC trooper Fives and Echo. Also some starship officer clones would be easy enough to just swap some heads onto Yularens body, also some easy clone pilot repaint a to make shadow squadron pilots Broadside etc and Ahsokas Blue squadron pilots. I will be submitting my own customs shortly but those are some ideas I haven't heard anyone propose as yet, so the challenge has been made, lets see some customizer experts step up and show us what you can do-

Ps Captain Keeli and his Jedi Generalwould be great additions and easy enough kit bash repaints


ARC trooper Bullseye over and out

 

[r1g4r3po]

^ some of those mentioned above are on my list-to-do. I tried the admiral Y head swap but that body is just to skinny so thats why I went w/ potf2 tarkin repaint for cw tarkin and likly simular formula for clone officer. Look on maybe page 3 for my Master Ima-Gon Di. I just havent got around yet for Commander Keeli, but he is planned. Here's a cardback proto for Keeli
(I want to change the CW logo a bit- but here's the concept
