Yakfinities #57 - PEGWARMERS - WINNERS SELECTED

[darth_sidious]

I stopped by Five Below and found some TPM 3D pegwarmers, including the awesome Aurra Sing figure, so I bought one to complete a custom that's been pending for a long time - I had temporary parts for this custom - but the Aurra Sing finally completed it. It is my own design of Nightsister Mother Ros Lai - an EU character that left Dathomir with Quinlan Vos that in my fan fic returned to the planet during the dark times to claim her mother's former clan of Nightsisters. Mother Ros Lai prepares for the arrival of the Knights of Ren, as relations with Dathomir are being re-opened after the fall of the Empire.

Does the 6'' Han and Tauntaun set count as a peg warmer? I see a lot of them around, but they're also not clogging the pegs.

It's all in the eye of the beholder...

So here is a second pegwarmer modification. An attempt at a realistic Satine Kryze using a Mrs. Coulter head (from Golden Compass) and a Luminara Unduli body. Luminara is a pegwarmer in my area.

and with Obi-Wan

Hope you enjoy!

I really liked the vehicle idea too, so I did one to go with my pegwarmer...

Saw this TMNT COCKROACH TERMINATOR warming the pegs and instantly thought it could be made into a great SW Harch Cyborg Warrior (think Admiral Trench). Maybe if I get ambitious I'll try to turn him into Admiral Trench by adding his trench coat :wink:

Realistic 6" Clone Wars Obi-wan.

Head,torso ,hips - From the Super rare 6" obiwan.
Legs,arms from the worthless 6" red clone captain. ( total piece of crap )

I'm not 100% done with him yet , I've been trying to find material suitable to make his mantle out of something that doesn't look like garbage. Can't find his lightsaber so I snagged one of LUke's for the pic.

My interpretation of a Force Awakens Resistance pilot.

I worked off pictures that were released earlier this year, what I could find on the internet, and the Poe figure after he was released on Force Friday.

Recipe: I used the BS Biggs pilot body (real shock there) and painted the flight suit a darker orange. The vest is made from white felt material. The head is General Zod from the Man of Steel line.

The helmet is what perplexed me the most. I started working with Biggs' standard X-wing helmet but wasn't satisfied with the results. After rummaging through my loose parts, I settled on the A-wing pilot's helmet from the old cinema scene pilot three-pack. I made a cut down by the chin to open it up.

Hey, Chewie, am I late for the party? I just realized it's past September 30th and I haven't posted my custom.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Go ahead and post it.. with server issues can't hold anyone back. We can extend through Oct 2.

Sorry, sick with a stomach bug so I just saw this.

:wink:

 

[Evilivo]

Thanks, Chewie. I made this one a while ago and ment to post it, but there was this problem with the forums down and then I totally forgot until yesterday.
So after initially having to pay more to get this Black Series Yoda and even trading with a foum member (thanks, Stan!) for a second one, I finally started to find him here in Bulgaria, and for cheap. Obviously here people also consider it not much for the value offered.
So I finally made a custom that was in my mind for a long time. It's a no-brainer for Hasbro and a shame they never included it as an alternate head accessory.
I sculpted closed lids over the eyes of the Black Series figure and repainted the face. Then through careful heating I was able to change the position of arms, hands and feet. Now he is permanently seated, practically a statue, but he is scene specific, after all. The robe and belt are handmade.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

That's just awesome work there, wow. Love it. And I agree on the alternate head thing, Hasbro really misses the boat sometimes.

OK - we're gonna consider this closes unless someone else submits something tonight.

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Work has been killing me, have had to travel a lot lately, etc.

So, this roundup report is a bit behind schedule. It will be ready next week. Sorry everyone.

:wink:

 

[Starchaser]

For my part, no apology necessary. I appreciate the work you do and am just happy to have a place to share my enthusiasm for the Star Wars universe. Look forward to the round-up - when it happens .

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Thanks - actually my timing has gone from bad to worse.

Had a garage fire yesterday that could have caused us to lose our home. Fortunately were able to contain it to the garage, but huge mess and nightmare to deal with. So lucky it wasn't worse.

I'm having to miss some work this week to deal with this, Yakfinities roundup will happen as soon as I can. Thanks for everyone's patience.

 

[Starchaser]

Okay - a garage fire is scary! Glad it didn't become worse. Did you lose a lot that was of value? I hope not. Hope things stablize for you quickly.

 

[darth_sidious]

Glad you and your family are safe - that's whats paramount. Hopefully the repairs are swift. We all know how dedicated you are to this site and the Yakfinities, but you should take all the time you need to sort things out.
