I've been pretty busy with real life things lately and didn't have much time to post news, but I've put up a new display for my collection and never had a chance to share the customized Senate Guard I made a while back. I have at least four other customization projects planned but I just need to find time for them.. The figures are a little randomly placed at the moment because I've not yet made my mind on whether I'm going to create dioramas in each unit or if I'm going for museum poses..
Top row left to right : Prototype Ronin Boba Fett, Stormtrooper, Vader, Drummer, Archer, Royal Guard, Custom Zuckuss, Boba Fett, Custom Dengar.
Bottom row left to right : Shadow Guard, Sandtroopers (Sergeant, Corporal, Trooper), Custom Senate Guard, Custom Phasma, Death Star Vader, Custom AT-AT and Driver, Custom Death Trooper.
And here's a picture of the Senate Guard from up close.
For reference, the Senate Guards appear in the prequels and the Clone Wars series, and have either the robed and crest-helmeted look, or an armored battle-ready look, I went for a mix of both.
As you can see it's mostly a blue repaint, but I resculpted the faceplate and added a ridge on the helmet for the two hair crests. Those are made from paintbrush hairs that I let dip for a long time into black polish and then cut and reshaped into rows and glued to the ridge on either side until I got the look I wanted. The rifle is the one from the Sandtrooper, seemed appropriately big.
Hope y'all like it
