As well as copying this from Gamers, added:
Series II Destroyer Droid to DotF
Droideka to BoTP
A-DSD, Rohlan Dyre and Prefect Da'Gara to Vengeance

Wow! These are all amazing work! It's hard to pick favorites, but if I had to they would probably be Bastila JM, Ki-Adi Mundi JM, the Series II Destroyer Droid, Shimmra, and Darth Maul SI! The Shimmra and the Darth Maul in particular were really creative uses of minis for a base that turned out very well! ThumpUp

The clone wars era stuff is impressive... most impressive.
Eeth Koth looks awesome, is it built from a Plo Koon MotF?
I am very interested in the scratchbuild Destroyer Droid and Dwarf Spider Droid; recipes?
Also, how was the Legendary Yoda custom made?

Great work, and very clean cuts. The paintwork is second to none, especially with the attention to the eyes and the detail inking.

Thanks guys, it's nice to have my work be appreciated.

Eeth Koth is indeed a Plo Koon, with a Zabrak Fringer head and some greenstuff hair.
Epic Yoda is a Yoda on Kybuck attached to the water jet from a Heroclix Aquaman (the 'Icons' one). It's getting him to stand up that's the trouble.
I had a feeling you would ask about the droids, so I took some photos of the build process. All 3 (Series II, Droideka, A-DSD) started as wireframes (except for bits of a Sith Heavy Assault Droid in the middle of the Series II) to which I added some cheap modelling putty and bits of clear twist-ties for guns/eyes/antenna




I couldn't believe my luck when I found this stuff for $3 at a discount shop. It came as 3 packs (in different shades of green) to make a turtle and I repurposed it. I've only used 2 of the 3 (the largest is still left). The solid bits (the 'heads' of the 2 destroyer droids, the gun panels, front grating and underside curvy bits on the Series II) I made separately and attached later, but everything else was molded over the frame like greenstuff.

2 downsides: it doesn't come out as smooth as greenstuff (the back of the DSD's head is really rough) and it only lasts a couple of days before the whole blob of putty is too stiff to do anything with. But those 3 (and half of a Salacious Crumb) from half of the $3 pack is pretty good.

Dude..... Wow.... I kept reading and I was like "Wow, this one's my favorite... No, this one definitely is!" After about the 30th time that happened I just decided I like them all. Your skill with building minis is very impressive. I really like the Null ARC Ordo, he's probably my favorite mini just for all the extra detail (ie; the dots on the chest plate, the accurate coloring...) Overall, very impressive man. Keep up the good work!

@Voren,
Kudos on the sculpting skills and thats extraordinary value per model!
Thanks for sharing the production photos too!
I scratchbuilt a few DDs and assorted droids via a similar wireframe method sometime back, although the results were nowhere near the level of accuracy or detail on display here. BigGrin Is it best to take a slow approach, and concentrate on one section at a time?
I suppose the most exciting thing about these customs is that now you can try new poses and effects, such as a shield or a "transforming" DD.
You could even make some "Kazdan Paratus-style ugly droids" that are kit bashed and whatnot.

I had been experimenting with a magnetic hinge on a DD, allowing it to pivot around the ball joint and with the blaster arms pivoting around the torso. This was achieved using an earcleaner tube (diameter ~1mm) and some thin florist wire. However, the caveat is that the end product is fragile/does not survive transport and storage...

Have you had the chance to test the pepakura model droids I linked on the Custom FAQ thread? They're of a similar scale to the droids youve made, and theres a variety of them, especially the R2 units, crab droids and battledamaged droids. I use the Pepakura models as a handy template/guide for customising.

@R5Don4
Thanks, they're pretty time consuming, but a great way to distract myself from assignments

@ShadowSnyperX
I can't take all the credit for Ordo, I think Azman used that base first. Wookieepedia is my friend for details (unless it's a Vong character or something like Savage where none of the images show his skirt properly)

@Darthbane53
I might be willing to trade some of them, give myself a chance to try something new or improve my designs to replace them...

@kobayashimaru
I found building sections at a time (and letting them set overnight) was helpful fro some of the details. I had to work fairly quickly before the putty became basically unusable because it wasn't malleable anymore, but getting the basic structure, then limbs, then details (rivets and stuff) was the way I did it (and building larger sections separately helps with the balance, too).
A transforming DD sounds intriguing. I might have to look into that.
I've only had a quick look at pepakura (for that Rancor, mostly) and I found another site with 1:50 scale stuff. Do you have a recommended card stock weight to try?

I am very, very impressed. It's amazing that you were able to make some of these by scratch! Most of these are worth emulating within themselves.

Excellently done.
