Re: Galactiboy's Galaxy of Star Wars Customs! Snaggletooth!

Thanks man... now I just need to figure out what to do with the head. I'd love to make a figure of him like this, but know the accurate jumpsuit is not an option

Kenner style?

Nice work on Snaggletooth, he looks great. I wish I would have picked up one of those sculpts, I like it.

You could do the Snaggletooth from ROTJ that is seen in Jabba's palace, I dunno, just an idea.

I sent you a PM about the cast... we might be able to get stuff from Bantha5 still

And I'm not sure how he looked in ROTJ... I'll need to see if I can find any images of that.

Kenner style?

I actually think (aside from the specific jumpsuit) a movie accurate is easier than the Kenner syle... with Kenner I'd need to find furry feet and hands. This guys just got black boots and gloves.

Re: Galactiboy's Galaxy of Star Wars Customs! Snaggletooth!

Yep... great call Chakaman; that might be the way to go

​

Although now I realize I shouldn't have trusted Kenner and given him black hair

Here's a thought for you Joseph…
What if you were to get a red jumpsuit & stencil off the areas of the dark blue shapes with masking tape(or some comprable)? Then you could paint that detail onto it. If you have or have access to an airbrush, I'm sure it would be cake...but can't see why it couldn't be brushed on if you don't.
I do know of a source for replica GI Joe red jumpsuits of you need one.

But the Geezum(Jabba's Snaggltooth buddy)route, isn't a bad idea either.

That's not a bad idea... let me know the source for the jumpsuits, that's a good place to start.

And I've got 4 of your heads up next, I'm just delaying as I wanted to do a bit of neck sculpting before I painted up the heads.

Well you know what they say, paint can make or break a sculpt

I heard the guy that did these paint jobs is really sexy.

And he doesn't use a brush, but the flicker of his lush eyelashes to apply the paint

All true

Re: Galactiboy's Galaxy of Star Wars Customs! Ree Yees WIP!

Got started on the body modifications for Ree Yees... sculpted the neck area so he can have an open shirt. I'll need to open up the head a bit so it will sit lower, but hoping I can retain the articulation.

Sadly I'm having a bit of trouble finding the Soviet jacket I need... seems they've dried up. So I either have to buy the one I can find for like $26 or buy a full figure for $50

Re: Galactiboy's Galaxy of Star Wars Customs! Ree Yees WIP!

damn gb the texture on the built up neck is fantabulous.............

 

[galactiboy]

Re: Galactiboy's Galaxy of Star Wars Customs! Ree Yees WIP!

Thanks man, I actually just finished messing with the head a bit to get it to sit at a better height, I'll probably get to painting him over the weekend. But then I'm stuck until I can get that damn jacket

Great work! Ree Yees looks amazing, can't wait to see him all dressed up.

Thanks man, I'd appreciate it. I've checked my spots and came up empty... only one was on eBay and it was $26 just the jacket which seemed way too high.

I thought I may have had an extra one, I know I bought more than one when I did my Ree-Yees a couple of years ago. Not sure what I did with it, probably already traded to another member. Sorry. If I end up finding it while let you know.

I cant wait to see your paint apps on this one, gonna be mint.

Re: Galactiboy's Galaxy of Star Wars Customs! Ree Yees WIP!

Looking good dude. I've been on the hunt for the very same jacket. I too have had the same luck- either too much or nothing at all.
