LOL The project has already included much more than I originally intended, but that's the things with huge projects like this they are constantly evolving so I wouldn't say it's not a possibility but certainly not on the cards at the moment !

The boy, who I think is mostly in the first one, is such a bad actor. He makes the acting Episode II: Attack of the Clones look award worthy haha! <br /><br />There are A LOT of Endor things you can make if you take up a project like that. Ewoks would be a big one but you could make characters from those specials too. Teek, Wilford Brimley's character whose name I've forgotten, the little girl who is in both of them, the marauders, and so on. I think some spiders are in there too. There is a lot more in the extended universe including evil ewoks if I remember right too. Its probably more work than you should take on if I'm being honest! :)Kuribohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142002129545901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19593214192492898.post-61606970843600261282022-05-21T09:05:27.732-07:002022-05-21T09:05:27.732-07:00Thank you Matt, both of you look far better than m...Thank you Matt, both of you look far better than me first thing in the morning then !

The Blurrgs suffered from the technology of the time, but for stop animation they were good for the time of release, obviously they have improved a lot with their more recent rendition. A Gorax you say I'll see what I can do for you mate, as I hadn't planned on Endor, too many trees to represent !

Those were kind of terrible but when I stumbled across them at a video rental place as a child, I couldn't believe there was more Star Wars stuff out there that I didn't know about and I enjoyed them at the time. I guess that is the magic of the VHS days because retail stores could surprise you much more than they do now, I find. Either way, I think both of these look fantastic and your sculpting skills never fail to impress. Is there any chance I can convince you to sculpt a Gorax? It would be a big miniature but amazing to see for this diehard Star Wars fan :) Pretty much anything from Endor would be awesome though honestly. It is one of my favorite planets in Star Wars.Kuribohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142002129545901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19593214192492898.post-67293999930215852802022-05-20T16:39:45.577-07:002022-05-20T16:39:45.577-07:00Thank you Azazael, if you look closely you can act...Thank you Azazael, if you look closely you can actually see a few spots where my greenstuff didn't blend seamlessly but in hand is less noticeable, Zero blended better, as the folds got to hide the blends easier, the freehand was a pain, but got to keep pushing myself, especially with all the T-shirt freehand you keep showing mate !
