Yakfinities #76 - Rebel Militia

[YAK_Chewie]

Glad you guys got the pics to upload - thank you! I about threw my phone trying to get them to upload. :lol:

I've found lately that fresh pics off my phone seem to upload, but screen shots, downloads, altered pics do not. For now at least. I am at a loss.

Some really cool entries everyone. This will be a fun roundup. And thank you for the montage shots too.

:wink:

you know, I have learned that what trick works today, may not work tomorrow and what didn't work yesterday, works today. After I posted the sideways Merrick w/ cardback, I tried same trick but turned the cardback and figure sideways on my desk hoping that when that new pic uploads, image will appear upright BUT that particular pic wouldn't upload, yet same trick worked 3min prior. Guess it's all trial/error and persistence.

Here is a composite shot for the group montage that Chewie puts together. I will add more photos of each figure and maybe another one or two as well.

I am adding this picture of my last custom for this challenge.

The Spy--Haru Melasson. Not all militia wear drab uniforms and hunker down in a trench ready to go toe to toe with the might of the Imperial war machine. Some militia wear cocktail dresses and evening wear in their fight for freedom against the Empire. So is the case of Haru Melasson. She is a Coruscant socialite with a winning smile and an open ear to the latest developments in troop deployments, changes in fleet patrols or the loose talk about a super weapon that would be the ultimate deterrent to ending the Emperor's reign. Haru is a part of the Coruscant underground. While blasters tend to clash with her typical opera ensemble, she is a skilled practitioner of teras kasi.

On the figure itself, man did I butcher the figure's eyes. Worked it over a little but not great by a country mile. I loved dabbling in soft goods for this out of the norm rebel militia member

Recipe:
Head--ebay custom GI Joe's Oktober Guard Daina.
Torso--POTF2 ceremonial Leia
Hands--POTF2 ceremonial Leia
Legs--POTF 2 A New Hope standard Leia version 2
Cape--Kiss action figure
Boot top--Kiss action figure
Belt--Rogue Marvel universe 3.75 figure

Unfortunately I dont have too many good photos of this figure. I finished it at the beginning of the month. General Antoc Merrick was a cool looking character from Rogue One. Head is from wattos scrapyard, rest is the new luke xwing pilot figure.

Commander Pol Raveer Pol Raveer has walked many paths in life, some on the straight and narrow and some a bit crooked. Currently, he is currently undertaking the role of a legitimate businessman. He is owner and manager of Intergalactic-Planetary Shipping Company. His other current role is that of a commander in the Ord Abbado Resistance.

Recipe
Head- Cai Threnali
Body-Cracken (TVC)

Savo "Sure Shot" Taj It's said that Savo Taj was born flying a starfighter. While that's an exaggeration, he has been flying for a long time. He was a pilot in the Sorex Sector Defense Force. He protected the sector from pirates. He has racked up an impressive number of "kills" earning him the nickname of Sure Shot. When the Empire took control of the sector and disbanded the SSDF, he found himself without a job. Fate smiled upon him when he was contacted by Commander Raveer to fly in the OAR against the Empire.

Head-Cai Threnali
Body-Jon "Dutch" Vander (TBS)

Here are attempts at some rebel militia figures for yakfinities 76.

EWOK REBEL ENFORCER

 

[Utinniii]

That Ewok is awesome!

 

[RookieOne]

I've been so busy lately I didn't think I'd be able to finish my entries before the deadline, but I finally found some time this weekend and barely managed to get in under the wire. First off, here's a pair of Rebel Pathfinders from Rogue One:

Next is Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix of the Resistance, as seen in The Force Awakens:

Some generic Resistances forces:

Next is Resistance spy Vi Moradi and her droid Pook, from the theme park tie-in novel Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire:, (and in Vi's case, from the park itself as well) :

And finally, another theme park character, Lieutenant Bek from the Rise of the Resistance ride:

@jaghearse I'm trying to figure out what you used for that first rebel the green one with the pilot helmet he looks wonderful!

 

[Lance Quazar]

Holy cow, all of these figures are just amazing!! What a terrific challenge!

I'm so glad someone finally made a Connix out of a Beru head. I was thinking of doing that, but couldn't figure out how to get that "corduroy" pattern she wears. I guess the solution is to just sculpt it yourself!

ahh...Beru , I thought it looked familiar, but couldn't place it. And the one is whats-her-name from POTC on Paige Tico body I believe, nice. I'm thinking of using an older Leia potf2 or rebels to create Connix, but the more I think about it, I may use the rebels leia for TROS flashback jedi training Leia, I gathered parts over the weekend for Chussido (cloud rider) but not sure if I can get it ready by midnight tomorrow night, lol. So I may save it for next challenge instead.

 

[Jodo]

Man, these are some nice figures coming in at the end of the month. Wow!!!!

 

[I-am-Boba-Fett]

Here is my official entry. This is a custom "Emtrey" M-3PO Military Protocol Droid figure. This custom 3.75" figure features a custom 3D printed head modeled and made by me. Emtrey is a droid that served in Rogue Squadron as their Quartermaster in the X-Wing series of books.

Head- Custom 3D print by me
Body- Droid Factory Protocol Droid

 

[r1g4r3po]

my final submission for rebel militia...cloud rider, Chussido.

 

[Starchaser]

Great entries! I like the Beru head for Lt. Connix. The military protocol droid is a great concept - really clever design IABF! RookieOne - I get busy!

Here's a couple of Rebel SpecOps or "spooks" - not to be confused with Alliance Special Forces: Findar Leemas, a Vurk resistance soldier from Sembla, recruited to join Alliance SpecOps and his teammate, Bera Fire-eye. Findar rescued the Nosaurian slave from an Imperial installation during a recon mission and Bera has been his constant companion since.

Great work everyone (I might just be able to finish my last Jedha Phantom today, we'll see).

 

[Lance Quazar]

Mon Mothma, the ultimate Rebel Militia! (Rogue One/ANH era version)

 

[Starchaser]

The last member of the Jedha Phantoms: Wegit Yot; an Ugnaught who didn't want to fight his best friend to the death for a job on Cloud City, so he traded working as a ship's mechanic for passage off the station. Eventually, he wound up working with Auresh team as a fifth member, coming in particularly handy for dealing with mechanical and technical (droids and computers) issues.

And a group shot to try and make life a bit easier for CHEWIE:
