Yakfinities #76 - Rebel Militia

[JawaKing]

Yu-Hurra is a Rebel communications officer. He is the nephew of Admiral Raddus, and made his way up the ranks up to and after the Battle of Endor. He is an expert and translating, encryption and decryption. Yu-Hurra is also a tech wiz, and can over-ride, hotwire, and reprogram most anything. He can also help with programming a universal remote, or changing your password and PIN for any site. And of course, Yu-Hurra can open hailing frequencies like nobody's business.

The figure is a TVC Ackbar, with the lower tunic trimmed from Vizam.

This is a great figure. I really like the coloration of both the skin and the uniform. The name cracked me up. Do you plan on any other characters inspired by the other "Stellar" franchise?

Thanks, darthapathy! I colored the skin to be more like freshwater fish that are silvery with green and blue tones. The uniform color is a cross between the Rogue One and the ROTJ Mon Cal uniforms.

The name came to me as an obvious choice for a Communications Officer. I had no plans on further borrowing from other franchises, but the universe is certainly big enough for all of us to play in it. Maybe down the road my cross fandom will inspire me to do something similar. Until then, I'll keep trekkin'.

As a Fulcrum agent, Captain Cassian Andor journeyed to many of the galaxy's hotspots in an attempt to recruit locals to the cause and garner intelligence to be used by the infant Rebel Alliance.

I'm squeezing this character here, I think he suits I named him Morl Chelon and I see him as one of Saw Guerrera's men, old veteran and skilled starship navigator.
I've been wanting to do a Gabordin custom for quite a long time, (it's one of my favourite designs from TFA) since I saw Chewie's custom with Ask Aak's legs (which I tnink are much better for this species). Then it was on my desk for more than a year, since finally I got the image in my head what I want him to look like.
Hood was shaved and headgear was resculpted, some details cut off of other figures, some leather and soft goods. Slight repaint, mainly dark washes and drybrushing.









And a WIP\concept phase, in which the figure stood on my desk for quite a long time

You know, I wasn't impressed with the character of Quiggold in The Force Awakens but this figure is amazing. I like the looks of him. I think it's the coloring and detailing.

I kitbashed these two figures together from the Search for Skywalker set I received today. Essentially, I just needed a grunt who could ride the Tauntaun.

Hoth Mounted Soldier
Torso, head, arms, skirt: Hoth Trooper
Legs, gloves, helmet, belt: Hoth Han

Hoth Rebel Sergeant

Legs, belt, gloves, and helmet: Hoth Trooper
Torso, arms, skirt, and head: Hoth Han

 

[Evilivo]

Great idea, Han and Luke weren't the only Tauntaun riders
I've been wanting to get those Han legs for YEARS now! I've made a proper Tauntaun riding Han a long time ago for a friend and soon after that this figure became unobtainable for a normal price! And I don't want to paint legs. Still on the hunt

 

[darthapathy]

Nice job on the Hoth troopers. You found a great way to add a little variety.

 

[Starchaser]

Great entries so far. That Cassian looks really magnificent. The Gabdorin is an excellent figure; the different head gear looks great. And the kitbashed Hoth troopers work really well. We have quite a motley crew of rebels shaping up here.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Some crazy good entries already! Wow

:wink:

 

[JawaKing]

Does "Rebel" include "Resistance?"

I agree, there are many great entrees already!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Sure, it can and include Resistance or whatever you feel fits into the category.

:wink:

 

[StooperZero]

I'll participate as I have a few militia types still in pieces that need finished.

Formerly a member of the Imperial Special Forces commando unit Inferno Squad, Iden Versio defected to the Rebellion at the implementation of Operation: Cinder - Emperor Palpatine's posthumous orders to cause climate disruption on former Imperial worlds.

Iden Versio turned out really incredible. Great job with head and your soft goods are always impressive!

Jedha Phantoms:
A growing mercenary operation, the Jedha Phantoms are decisively anti-Empire. They do not work exclusively for the rebel Alliance but do have an ongoing relationship with both Alliance Intelligence and Special Ops. Because of their unique make-up and surgical precision, the Phantoms are often called in for very special assignments involving apprehension of Imperial double-agents or “dealing with” rogue rebel cells or personnel whose behavior (like Saw Guerrera’s) threatens to damage the Alliance’s reputation.
Auresh Squad is made of Phantoms founders Kaydo Romalez, a former Stormtrooper squad leader and Indo Hebar, an Abednedo former Partisan, and includes Isakk Andrus and Ebrid Korlona, a female from Alderaan. (These were all built around the Fortnite Vertex body, only two are genuinely custom, but I thought I would include the whole squad.

 

[huttman]

A lot of great customs so far! I have to make a mention on this one, though...fantastic! This screams Star Wars...

 

[JawaKing]

I agree with huttman. There are already many great photos of fantastic customs here. I applaud the creativity of my peers here!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Had to use that one for the front page promo. Just amazing, Evilivo!

:wink:

 

[Evilivo]

Wow, thanks, Chewie, that's an honour!
