HATE IS A STRONG TERM

 Today I have the second half of my recent purchase painted up, now these are characters that are disliked for one reason or another, mostly their actions. First today is Qi'ra, she is second in command of Crimson Dawn under Maul, and was Han's first love, but she chose power over love. The model is a 3D resin print.

Next today is Cid, she is a Trandoshian female business owner, of questionable reputation, I thought the model would do as a business owner on Tatooine. Also a 3D resin print.

Next today is Wato a Toydarian scrap merchant seen in Episode one and the owner of Anakin Skywalker, he has very low morals and is only interested in money, there is a current theory that Darth Vader killed him, so he could still be around in my time frame.

Dai if you are reading this bit just skip down to the comments from here, there is nothing to see my friend.

Has he gone ? Good, right if you asked most people who is the most hated character in Star Wars, they would probably say Jar Jar Binks, but if you are older and read the original comics, then they would probably say Jaxxon, who was a six foot tall green rabbit ! His actual species designation is a Lepi. When the original film had finished in it's comic run, Marvel then had Luke trying to recruit on a water planet, and Han on another desert planet, Han ended up playing out the Magnificent Seven, recruiting a bunch of people to save a village and Jaxxon was one of them.

So why did I get this 3D print, bit of nostalgia, plus it was a character I could put in games and wouldn't mind if he gets shot ! LOL and if Dai decided to keep reading here's a picture to keep you happy mate.

Mustn't forget my group shot to show the sizes.

That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave 

ACTION'S SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

I decided to get some character models this month for Star Wars, the models shown today are 3D prints I ordered at the beginning of the month, and turned up on Friday, the first model today is a representation of NED-B the loader droid from the Obi Wan Kenobi series, who was a rebel. Loaders aren't given the ability to speak, hence their actions speak louder, would have liked it without the gun, but it will do for the docking area on my Tatooine board.

Next today is another KX enforcer droid, to add to my collection, this brings my total up to 4 for the Empire, and after seeing them in action in Andor season 2, they should make an effective unit.

Last today is Azmorigan, who is a Jablogian that appears in the cartoon series Star Wars Rebels, he is a smuggler and scoundrel, always looking to make more credits, and occasionally works with Hondo Onaka, but generally not to be trusted by his actions. His character actually comes from some of the early designs for Jabba the Hutt.

Here is a group shot to show their different sizes.

I've got some more characters to paint as well, while still sculpting more pod racers and other characters, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

WAIT THERE'S MORE

 Today I have some more pod racers to show, first I'll start with Ratts Tyerell who is a Aleena, the model is greenstuff over frame.

Next is Ody Mandrell who is an Er'Kit, this is another full sculpt.

Next is Mars Guo who is a Bardottan and is another full sculpt.

Last one today is Teemto Pagalies who is a Veknoid, and is another full sculpt.

Here is a group shot with the other three I'd already done.

I have another two sculpts started of the racers you see in the film, then I'll be moving on to the unseen ones, that's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL POD RACING !

 A huge thank you to everyone for their suggestions on where I could look to for new subjects for side projects within the Star Wars realm, I intend to get to all of them at some point, I'm starting with the Pod racers, is that a strange place to start as it's a different time period and most of them died during the race, probably ! LOL but as you can see from the picture below, there were a lot of the same species in the crowd as the racers, and the Boonta Eve race, carries on even up to the time period of the Mandalorian !

First today I have Mawhonic, who is a Gran, as he is small for the species, I used a GW zombie as a dolly for this one, which saved on greenstuff, and made it quicker for sculpting.

Next today is Dud Bolt, who is a Vulptereen, this was a complete scratch build with frame and greenstuff.

Last today is Ben Quadrinarol, who is a Toong, this was also a full sculpt with frame and greenstuff.

I've had to cover the bad sculpting with paint to hide the scrapiness of the sculpts, but they will do as crowd fillers walking around the city. Here is a group shot to show their varying sizes.

There were 18 pod racers in the section of the movie, I can find a 3D print of Sebulba, and I can do children based off of the look of Anakin, these two are part of the 11 racers that get shown in the movie, there is 6 you don't even get a glimpse of, but I've found what they should look like as well, so expect to see more racers in the future. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

WHAT'S IN A NAME

 Today I get really close to finishing the denizens of Jabba's Palace, with three really obscure characters, the first one is so obscure he doesn't even have a name. He appears for two seconds after Han is taken away after being set free from the Carbonite, before Leia is thrust towards Jabba.

The model started as legs and torso from a plastic zombie, lengthened, and arms and head from Legion spares. The next model started with a search for Jabba's bartender, which was the only information I had to start with, I then found the designation was R2-S4M, which gave me the colors needed, the model is a standard Legion R2 model, with tray and servo arm added by me.

Last today could be confused with a creature, but with a bit of looking I found it's actually a sentient being called a Sic Sic, now if you've never seen it in the movie, you're not alone, it must be hid under a table, behind a group or something ! LOL

Here is a group shot for scale reference

The only thing I have left to do for Jabba's Palace is the B'omarr Monk that I started last year, but never finished. Now I just need to find a new section of the Galaxy, to obsess over and recreate models for all of them, suggestions on a postcard !( don't forget needs to be on Tatooine ! LOL) That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
