Chest armour belongs to a 5POA Captain Phasma.
Everything else was sculpted with Green Stuff / made from styrene.[/quote]
It is great, i just could recognize the jetpack, but what made all confused about the size of the figure was the chestplate. I couldnt figure out where did it came from. Did you carved out the back of it so it could fit the figure, is it removable?

When you pop the torso of those 5POA figures they are pretty much hollow shells. I had to do a bit of carving to remove some internal supports but not much. It's not removable as I had to sand back the chest of the figure to ensure a good fit.

I go with a gundam feet, turned the front end to the back, just like you did with the ship. it kind of break the mental image on your head so you cant recognize the thing in the first look 8) 8) 8)
here is another figure for this yakfinities.
miner droid, specialized to gather mineral samples and transport them out of tunnels.
hope you like it.
Lugo, I can't seem to get your photos to load for the Roundup Report - I sent you a PM.

Te'kla Biv
"Tek" to his friends
Species: Uugteen
Homeworld: Akiva
Slicer, Fuel Expert, Technical Genius
The fuel maker and technical genius of Team Sky Serpents, once winners of the 5 Sabers tournament turned swoop gang after the fall of both the New Republic and the First and Final Order.
Tek helps keep the swoop bikes running and his team's droids maintained.
Born on the planet Akiva, his playground was the abandoned separatist droid factory hidden beneath his village.
When the New Republic came to Akiva to stop the remnants of the Empire from regrouping, Tek's parents fought alongside the New Republic, and later chose to leave the planet on a New Republic ship to explore space, and show their son the galaxy.
Tek keeps his father's armor, fashioned from old battle droid parts. that he used to fight the empire as a reminder of where he came from.
Recipe:
Mostly GI Joe retaliation Firefly, with Marvel's Chameleon head, 25th Anniversary GI Joe BAT right forearm, and random chinese clone pilot left forearm.
Vest is a random from a GI Joe pile, fitted with dremeled parts from a STAAP rider battle droid.
Left arm and vest were given a green/brown wash to look like Firefly's outfit and mimic jungle camo that would have been used on Akiva.

Oh my goodness! I won!! Wow, thanks so much, Chewie!
This was truly an extraordinary Yakfinities. So much fantastic work and it was easily the busiest customizing time of my life. I must have made more customs in the past few months than in the past ten years!
Awesome work, everyone!
Thanks, Chewie!!
BTW, what is the clone up for offer? Not familiar with it.... thanks!

By the Force, I won something?!
Thank you so much!
Lance - the trooper is the Commander Wolfe figure
I’d love that Hondo if Lance takes Wolfe

With greatest appreciation to Chewie, who always donates these amazing prizes out of the goodness of his heart and though it feels great to be a (randomly selected) winner, I am going to respectfully decline my prize.
I already have Hondo and K2 and I have no interest in Wolffe. Don't collect clones anymore.
While I briefly thought it might be nice having a second Hondo for customizing purposes, I'd much rather another lucky forum member get a crack at these lovely prizes.
So thanks, Chewie!

Alrighty, you have spoken.

Lance, what a gentleman! Very nice gesture. Brilliant contest everyone, there were many stunning entries.
hello everyone. sorry cause I havent refreshed the rest of the links to my pictures. I use the facebook direction to share them with you guys, but it keeps on failing. can any one recomend me some web page like photobuckets, that can host mi pictures for free? like photobucket used to do, some years ago.
Lugo - some of us use imgur. I have found it to be pretty straight forward. Others more tech savvy than I) might have some other good options, but that's what I use.
