Hi All
When I went to the Star Wars Exhibition the other month as I had done two commissions for a compnay that was holding a function, They also had Jay Laga'aia as a special guest. He was there talking about what he had done on Star Wars and also he was handing out the prizes that I made, I finally got the honour to talk to him and the conversation came up about my customs and he asked would I be able to make a 1/6 (12inch) version of him.
I told him that it should'nt be any problems at all and so after a few talk sessions on what we both wanted in the figure/base what you see is the final figure/base that we had a talk about, this was a privilage doing this figure for him and to meet such a great person.
RECIPE
Body & clothing - The body is a Dragon body the head I got from ebay and had to do a little sculpting to it mainly the hair and nose. The gloves a from a Sideshow Rebel Endor trooper the boots are from a Hasbro Jedi I think Obi Wan and the clothing, tunic and gauntlets are all done from scratch using different materials and leathers.
Equipment - The pistol is a mixed lot of a WW2 German Luger and Modern Day Pistol and the belt is from a Hasbro Jedi which has had pouches added to it from the bits box.
Base - The base bottom is from a hardware shop and then the back and part of the stage section is built up from balsa wood and foamcore board. The floor is a marble print I got of the net and printed off and glued inplace, The pipes are from plasticard and the main power box is some old phone connections I had lying around and the lights are from a 1/1000th scale Enterprise kit.
