I did some work on Kithaba. I had already redone the outfit, I just had to work on the head. So I redid the bandana, I used a cut up t-shirt for it this time. I also repainted the eyes and head. Its not great, but I am happy with it. :)

He looks very cool (but I can't remember him from movie=( )

Yet another masterfully executed figure! I love it - I don't know why you are always so hard on your paint apps, I think they look great!! Where did this head sculpt come from, btw?
 
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. :)

Khonsu, that is a headsculpt Mark did a couple years ago. Its great.

Elar, Kithaba is one of the guards on the prisoner skiff. He is the one who is dragged into the Sarlaac by its tentacles.
 
I know this guy is VERY obscure, but he has to be done. :) Its the unidentified "Mercenary Pilot" aboard the 2nd Skiff.

I used SSC Endor trooper pants. Ignite toys tunic for the undershirt. I handmade the jacket. I cut the pockets off a spare Luke Bespin jacket and added them to the sleeves. The bandoliers are SSC Endor trooper ones that I cut up and built. SSC Cobra trooper gloved hands.

For the helmet, I have a German SS helmet on order that I will mod.

I plan on adding a holster and weathering him up a bit. The helmet will be the key to finishing this guy off. :)

When it comes to SW, IS there such a thing as obscure? I'm really surprised this guy doesn't have a proper name and a series of comics written about him!:lol

Looks like you're off to a kickass start, Chris! I think you are probably the KING of bashing together uniforms! Now that I've had a taste of how hard it is, all I can do is bow down to the master...
 
Yeah, Chris.....once you wrap up all these guys, what's the next scene you're gonna tackle? You've got a few more officers to finish for the DS Briefing Room.:monkey3 Huh, huh?
 
Khonsu, thanks for the compliments. Its a lot of fun to take random bits and piece together these outfits. I am looking forward to seeing more of your cantina guys' outfits, I am taking notes mate. :)

Hey dude! Where tne hell you been hiding? I havent seen you in here for a while. Hope you are back and going to start producing some dios again, they are awesome.

I probably will start cranking out some cantina guys when I am done with these skiff guards. There are still quite a few skiffies to do yet. I will probably jump back and forth from skiff giards to cantina guys.

A briefing room would be epic, I would need 3-4 more Piett outfits, those arent easy to track down. We will see though. :)

Aww shucks. Thanks for the love fellas. Whazzzzup.

Long story.....long. I've had a bit o' bad luck in the financial dept., mostly of my own doing (no will power to say "no", you see), some of it-older house doing. So 99% of SS had to go to pay back Peter AND Paul, whom I both robbed blind cause my action figure/dolly collection/work shop was growing faster than my allowance. Yeah, I'm THAT guy. Probably would explain why I'm driving a Stratus instead of that Ferrari 308 I always wanted. No worries, the kiddies can still go to college, we're not eating porrage, no 12 step program. I just needed a little self-imposed gut-check. Anywho, I hesitated to post because so many of our fellow Freaks have had real legitimate issues, health and money, and I just felt weird about it. I've been lurking the whole time though (like a ninja...you never saw or heard me). I decided my embarrassment can be a lesson to somebody, so I guess here I am again, slowly re-acquiring things (and I mean slowwwwwly:lol). Luke and Leia are back, and my re-do's of Biggs and Fixer are coming along better than before. I'm psyched to get my toes wet again, at a more reasonable pace this time! For starters, I'm leaning towards making another Death Star doorway, for Stormtroopers. I think they'd look pretty sweet next to the Luke/Leia piece. Love that shot on the vintage Kenner cardback.

So, sorry for the hijack mate. Carry on, oh master of the background characters:clap

And Dormal, YOU can carry on on my Landspeeder, you know, whenever you can:slap JK

Hey man , don't sweat it , a lot of us are experiencing similar things . ( Especially us poor schmucks in the U.K !) Everyone has to prioritize , I myself have had to put the brakes on when it comes to buying every H.T Pred and Alien, Sideshow Star Wars figure that was released because the money was needed elsewhere . The upside though , is I've gotten into the customizing side of things more and learnt to build my own figures on a strict ( i.e non-existent ) budget ! Being skint pushed me into the dark recesses of the Star Wars Customizers domain and I've never looked back ! :lecture
 
Well, I've consolidated down to Disney, Star Wars, and my HO Freedom Train I'm building. Everything else is gone: comics, Transformers, football cards! Can't give ALL my money to the man, but I can't support all my wannabe habits anymore either.:rotfl
 
Bugger me hes been back 5secs and he is already sidetracking and hijacking threads yeeeeehhhaaaaa!!! it like you never left :)
 
Hey, I'm trying to hijack Chaka's thread, not yours! Don't you have orange paint to match or something?

I'll be in to hijack one of yours soon enough. Be patient.:nana:
 
welcome back jeff...............i was getting a bit bummed...........first we lost wild bill the cactus killer & then suddenly you went awol & i was all like.............damn man, some great talent is leaving the board.......:monkey2
but dont sweat the getting over your head & having to watch the finances..........we've all been there to a certain degree & honestly that is what drives a lot of custom stuff anyway. were too cheap to pay retail so if we can save 20 dollars making our own , we do.......:lol
well i'm not speaking for everyone & maybe thats just me but hopefully you get where im coming from.....:wink1:
anyway welcome back kotter...........:hi5:
 
You know what's so back-assward? There's so much positiveness here, it makes me want to do more cause everyone gets so psyched. Then I rush to get pics up even though I could probably do better. Then I wanna start something else. Hmmm. Now that I say it out loud, I think what I'm saying is it's all your guys fault in the first place:lol. Thanks alot!


Joking aside, it's great to be participating again barryo. And you're right, I certainly wish some of the Freaks that were a part of the crew not too long ago could/would chime in again. Their humor, talent, and friendship is certainly missed.

Chris, got any pics you wanna share to get your thread back? I gotta go spread my special brand of whatever it is I do in one of Mark's threads now. He's talking about ferrets and blue stuff and I just can't let that go by without retaliation!

I could agree more Barry. Its nice to have some of the guys from a couple of years ago rearing their ugly heads and hijacking others threads. I of course am joking. :D Welcome back Jeff, glad you got things sorted out.

We all have been there. I have a 9 month old, I must say he cuts into my collecting budget something fierce. If I want a new figure, I have to sell something out of my collection to cover it. I am pretty much just a 1/6th guy these days. I used to collect Hasbro, Gentle Giant, vintage and anything Star Wars, those days are gone Im afraid. I am pretty much down to raiding Toy Anxiety for bits for my bashes. Its all good though.
