Yakfinities #53 - MERCHANTS

[jedimasteradi]

Hey guys Making it in at the last minute ha ha. here are my entries hope you like

First off a Droid and parts shop situated on Corellia in the near the outer walls of one of the main cities.
It is ran by a Bothan named Quallish and a Nikto called Jers. Quallish has always been a father figure to Jers as he found him abandoned when he was just a child in the streets of Corellia. Their business is proving to be quite lucrative despite the increased Imperial presence as of late.









Secondly, another Droid and parts shop located at the other end of the Prominade to Qualiish and Jers' Store, but with there store being smaller they get less business and ergo less money. It is ran by a young Male human and his Protocol Droid.

Hope some of you recognize the guy in these photos as i am pleased to announce the continuation of the Story of Jarred Yunis!!

After a rather abrupt end to my series,
i had a loss of my next chapters photos which are now over a year old, and some of the figures used then are no longer with me, i will not be starting a fresh, but will try and tell what happened in exposition, i dont want to reboot, and hopefully it will add mystery to the story, (hope that made sense)





After the incident with his father years ago conserning weequay thugs attacking him in his shop, Jarred now carries a small blaster.

Second-hand Blasters & Repairs"
Toomy and Ryjian Domaako travel a circuit among backwater settlements, setting up their makeshift stall on rugged shipping crates. Although they have been accused of selling stolen merchandise, investigations have always shown them to be on the level.

This is my Iktotchi medicine man/herbalist and his droid. He travels the galaxy treating those who seek treatment from traditional natural techniques versus bacta tank treatments.

Wow! Great entries.

I am a few hours late but just was able to load up the pictures. Below is my merchant from the Corporate Sector Authority. He is the CEO of an intergalactic company that makes everything from blue milk containers to that rare component that keeps droid motivators operational. With him are two examples of his companies great achievement in droid manufacturing. We have labor droids, secretarial droids, medical droids and protocal droids. Now we diplomacy droids--the ideal translator for corporate mergers and long term sales negotiations.

Wow! Great entries.

Another cutom I am proud of but can't get the picture straight is my Anchorhead Moisture Merchant. He trades fairly with moisture farmers on Tatooine always offering a fair price for a valuable resource on this desert world. That is until he begins to feel the squeeze from both newly installed Imperial taxation policies and local invisible market racketeers demanding protection money.

Here is a better picture of three of my figures. I have a rainbow of colors in my diplomacy droid collection.

The figure is made from a Princess Allura Voltron body and a custom head I had commissioned by Glassman. A great sculptor and an equally talented painter, I did not use his painting talent. I encourage to see his work. And one of my diplomacy droids will have another head scultped by the wonderful Darth Sinister.

My anchorhead merchant is made from the floppy hat luke body (circa 1998) with the arms of a Purchase of the droids cinema scene luke. The coat is a cut up Kenobi robe; The head is a GI Joe Dusty with a rounded neck post that, with a little carving, sits perfectly in that Luke body.

My Corporate Sector Authiority CEO merchant is made from a Spock body and an Abin Sur head. The challenge for this head and body is that a neck is required. What is awesome is that within the body of the green lantern figurs is a small plastic cube made from the same material and having the same color as the head used. This cube of plastic is in the body for some unknown reason (support?) and is only visible after you crack open the torso. I carved on the cube until it was round and inserted a rod through the plastic neck connecting the head to the body. What I like best about my neck post is that quite accidentally it has grooves that makes it look like wrinkles for greater realism.

And if you are unfamiliar with the Corporate Sector Authority, I encourage you to read the late Brian Daley novels about Han Solo.

My customs may be too late for contest consideration but I did want to share my work and thank all of the talented, creative customizers who participated. Thanks for doing this Chewie.

[YAK_Jayson]

Just to clarify, Entertainment Earth isn't sponsoring the Yakfinities contest, per se. They are a long time Yakface sponsor and we received these vehicles as part of that sponsorship. Yakface.com is passing on the benefits of that affiliate partnership to the participants of these amazing contests.

 

[OC47150]

I won, I WON!!!! I'm deeply honored and humbled.

I will take the Phantom starship, please.

 

[my kind of scum]

I would love the AT-DP, then. Thanks so much!
