Yakfinities #68 - REBELS - WINNERS POSTED!

[Starchaser]

Fett's helmet turned out excellent!

 

[Starchaser]

I finished number two:

Realistic version of Hera Syndulla (using the Cesi Eirriss head):

 

[Utinniii]

I finally finished my Purgill. They were one of the first Rebels creatures that I started. They are all different. Kinds and from different episodes.
I just need a bigger Star Destroyer.

I am also including the owl creature we see in the time gateway.

Here is my entry, I've been super busy as of late so I went with a more realistic approach on a variant of an AT-DP Pilot. This is my take on what I'm calling a custom IMPERIAL TROOP TRANSPORT GUNNER figure. I pictured him riding in the back of Imperial transport vehicles as extra security for troops or cargo as they are loaded/unloaded. He features a custom painted AT-DP Pilot resin cast head, removable armor, blaster pistol with working holster, rifle, and has lots of articulation.

One more entry from me.

Looks like a normal stormtrooper, right? It's not. SA Kanan Jarrus in stormie disguise. Had to whittle down the neck post to get the head to fit.

I had a couple of extra Kanan's around. Don't know why I bought so many; can't resist a sale I guess. Used an extra stormie body I had lying around.

Thanks, and nice work on Hera - I've thought about doing something similar, did you try heating the headtails to see if they can be reshaped?

I chose a character that also doesn't appear in "Rebels," but the old Wiki places him with the emerging Rebellion at the star of the Galactic Empire rule. The Wookiee Rorworr was a hero at the Battle of Naboo when he was younger. He later became a pilot and spy for the Rebels, and may have been at the base somewhere off-camera. I did the figure in realistic style. Hasbro would have probably did a molded vest, but I fabricated a fabric one. The figure was made from a modern SA Chewie with modified chest and forearms, a new head and hands, and a modified weapon.

My buddy says the character looks like the lovechild of Scooby Doo and Shaggy. My mind's eye cannot unsee this.

Bottom of the Ninth!!! Here he is...

 

[Utinniii]

Old Jho is awesome!! I'm very impressed with your painting.

I managed to finish half of what I had hoped for.

First up is Kallus's spy droid.



Next, a realistic Blurrg.





I didn't have time to finish the saddle or rider, Nuna.

Actually I thought about it, but it also would require cutting the lekku apart on the back. After looking at it closely, I just didn't want to risk it. I might, when I'm not under a time crunch, cut the two lekku apart, sculpt in any missing material and try the heat method to reshape the one lekku - we'll see. Thanks for asking, though.

 

[Starchaser]

Great job everyone, good looking customs for sure. I've got to shout out for Rorworr though, I got the original Hasbro figure when they produced it with the Theed Invasion Adventure Game - great job with this figure.

 

[JawaKing]

Thanks much, Starchaser. I agree, lots of great customs, both in creativity and execution!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Wow - what an amazing job you all did on this one. So much creativity and passion. I think Rebels would have been so much more popular had Hasbro treated the toy line better.

The Roundup Report will be done as soon as I can get to it - busy at work this week and getting prepped for family summer vacation too.

:wink:

Old Jho is awesome!! I'm very impressed with your painting.

Thank you Utinniii! Truth be told, I had such a hectic last few weeks/months that I kept putting him off and I basically finished him off in the last two days. As much customization as I did on him, he certainly warranted more time for a what I think would have been a better result but I am happy with him and might continue to tweak him. I'm glad I went for the realistic look and you went for the animated look...again, I love it. I really am more partial to how yours came out. Jho, the puffer pigs and lil' Hammy Head are great sculpts. I love Yakfinities because it's great practice working with the clay sculpting! Now, off to tackle a gangster....

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Hi guys - it's going to be a couple weeks before I can have the roundup report ready - probably the week of July 16.

:wink:

 

[EndorJunkie]

Great job everyone!!! There were some really great figures this round! Unfortunately, I am smack dab in the middle of a massive construction project at my facility and I didn't have the time to finish the other 2 characters I was working on with all the chaos, that and some of the parts I ordered never arrived!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Thanks everyone for your patience with the roundup report - it's coming this week.

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]
