Senfi83's Star Wars Customs (1/6)

[Senfi83]

Jabba the Hutt (WIP)

- used a Dremel on the nose, fat rolls and shoulders, then resculpted them.
- resculpted the eyes.
- made his head more narrow at the top and wider at the bottom.
- cut off the bent tip of his tail and resculpted it.
- sculpted a new set of arms
- on Salacious I removed the open mouth part, shortened the neck and resculpted it. Also did some changes on the sculpted fur parts. Still have to sand it down.

Looks great. Nice job.

Looks great. Nice job.

Thanks!

Great work so far!
While I don't own either version, at least based on pictures I always felt the V2 was lacking somehow, considering it was their second take on the character.

Very much looking forward to seeing this painted up!

Yeah, they definitely took some artistic freedom when doing the v2, with the sculptor bringing in his imagination. I think on the v1 the emphasis was placed more on getting an accurate sculpt.

Still working on the face sculpt, but once I'm happy with it, I'll get to the painting process.

ROTJ Emperor (WIP)

This is a resculpt of the Sideshow angry sculpt. Still at an early stage.

Update on Jabba:

Face sculpt almost finished.
Reworked his right eye, chin and depth of the nose holes.

Just a quick update on Jabba. Left hand sculpted to hold the hookah pipe.

Did you ever paint this Emperor?

Did you ever paint this Emperor?

Unfortunately not. There is still some work on the sculpt that needs to be done.

I'm struggling a little to find the motivation necessary for sculpting for the last year or so, to be honest.

That's too bad. But I can totally relate - I abandoned quite a few projects over the years due to lack of motivation.

If it helps, I think your Jabba and Emperor have the potential to be the best 1:6 versions out there once you complete them!

What do you use to sculpt BTW?

 

[Senfi83]

Thanks! That means a lot coming from you. I use Milliput Superfine White.

Looks like you've actually managed to make the v.1 Jabba even more screen accurate. That's quite impressive i.m.o. considering the original sculpt was already fairly decent. I'd personally be VERY interested to see this fully painted/finished. I've also toyed with the idea to give my repainted Jabba some additional hand/arm options. I do have a spare 1/6 slug so I might steal those extra limbs and try converting them into holding Leia's chain and the hooka pipe/frog respectively...
