Jabba 12" Image Thread

It occurred to me I hadn't posted any photos of my set-up since I added unfrozen Han and my kit-bashed Leia as Jabba's Prisoner:

OMG! That is the perfect display. Really nice.

Thanks. I'm pretty pleased with it, though I'm also looking forward to having more space so I can build a larger Palace dio. I'm not sure you noticed it, but the hookah and frog bowl are lighted....

I missed that. That is cool! Is that a Marmit Boba Fett?

That set-up is looking real good! While your Leia looks pretty decent there, I'm looking forward to seeing Leia as Boussh in some pics of that set-up....are you expecting her to join that great display?

No doubt. Also have a few more customs and kitbashes up my sleeve.

The Fett, btw, is the Hasbro VOTC version. Other than the crappy body a very underrated figure (and I'll be doing some upgrades to it soon).

Update on the background for you guys. I had been working on it, then mid-late February I got hit with the stomach flu and I didn't even kick the illness for a week then it took me another week just to start eating right again and regain some strength. After that wooped my ass, I got caught up in a fairly good sized slew of shipments from Sideshow and enjoy those collectibles and doing projects with them, and as you've seen, the Sideshow wallpaper project took precedent with me, but the biggest thing, as often happens, after the first month, month and a half after Jabba shipped, the buzz died and people stopped showing interest in this thread, so I archived the backdrop project figuring interest had been lost. I will certainly continue to chip away at it, but just realize it is the most complicated project of anything I do or post in these forums. Some of you may have scene the Aliens backdrop I'm working on, that's mostly blending of various screen grabs into an intricate design but no direct represenation. Jabba's palace is cluttered from wall to wall throughout Jedi, so basically I'm creating every piece of the design from scratch based off various reference materials. Because of image quality and the design method I have to use, the file is a little over a gigabyte so far where I last left it, and even on a powerful computer that's a heft load, so file save time runs longer and it's a process, but if people are still interested, I can continue to chip away at it.

Well, Maulfan, I'm not sure how much weight my support has here (with my two posts), but I for one am cheering you on all the way.

From how you describe the project so far, I'm breathless with anticipation. Sound jaw-droppingly awesome! I sure hope you'll continue and complete this work. I have no doubt that I'm not alone... right??

 

[Captain Faramir]

Not at all dude, and welcome!

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Thanks for the welcome, you guys!

Question for all you experts. Which 1/6 3PO, R2-D2, and Fett do you recommend using for your Jabba displays? I want something on par with the incredible sculpts/detail of the SS Scum & Villainy series, but don't want to have to cash in any mutual funds to do it either.

Thanks in advance...

 

[galactiboy]

I think right now the electronic 2 pack from Hasbro is leading the pack. I think the downside is that C-3PO is a tad large. But they shouldn't break the bank.

 

[Darth Madden]

I'm using the Electronic Fett and the 3PO that came with the book. Both look fine to me..

 

[MaulFan]

I can't wait until I have Boushh to display with him as well as RAH Boba Fett, throwing the fett into the mix is really gonna make an awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping display.

Funny name----- me likey.

I'm using the C-3PO that came with the book as well and he looks pretty good in the background--- the Hasbro Lando as skiff guard for that matter also works as a background character.

I'm waiting on the Medi Boba and Boushh to round out the scene.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Keep it comin'!

Thanks for the comment, Neil. I latched onto that name while I was a brief member of the SuperShadow forum and have hung onto it through what must be twenty forums now. Glad you approve...

I know I said I didn't want to break the bank, but since MaulFan brought it up, what do we all think of the Boba RAH..?

 

[Xander]

Madden, whats Cartman doing in your Jabba display!?! That's funny stuff!

He was nice enough to volunteer to fill in for Bubo. I think he got a little distracted by that bug though... might have to talk to him about that.

Have to wait until the Medi Boba is in hand before I can rush to judgement-- what the hell am I saying???? It'll ROCK.

Hasbro's VOTC Fett is actually pretty nice; he's in his ESB costume and could really use a better base body, but with a little paint and a Dragon body swap he can turn out really nice.

I'm using the basic Hasbro Collector's Series Artoo and Threepio with my display, though I think both the book edition Threepio and the electronic Artoo/Threepio (dirty) set look a bit better.

Other Hasbro figures I've been using are their Gamorrean Guards, Lando Skiff and Jawas. All can use some customization (especially the pigs) but can end up really nice if you trick them out right.

I use the Hasbor Lando skiff guard and the Gamorrean as well... They had tremendously to the overall look.---in the background that is
