The Great Pit of Carkoon - Unsung Hero's Customs Thread

[unsung hero]

Thought I'd start keeping everything in one place instead of lots of threads littering the place!

I'll link to my existing threads in this post and then from now on everything else will be placed in here.

Vibro-Ax kit

Here is the Vibro-Ax I've been working on, it will hit silicone this weekend. I'll be offering these in kit form, you'll get all the parts you see here. Two copper rods, resin end/middle/blade and two smaller pre-posed wires with resin connectors.

In addition the kits will come with a resin Hasbro Skiff Guard blaster. I decided to go with the Hasbro blaster as I thought it really wasn't cool to mold the exclusive blaster that came with Luke.

Weequay hands, which are still being worked on will be offered as an addition to the kit.

Re: Vibro-Ax kit

Great work.

With all of the talent in this part of the board that wouldn't have surprised me ! I was actually expecting to see a WIP of one too, seems to be a natural progression now. I like the look of the vibro - ax too.

Well, don't know if it's too song to throw my name into the ring, but I'd like two sets of hands, two vibro-axe kits (for the two weequay heads I have coming from ya, natch!) Looks freeakin' awesome!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Looks like I got onboard the Weequay express in perfect timing!

Count me in for the hands set and the weapons set!!!

I do want to make a Skiff, I'm thinking of the best way to make it happen. I might try my hand at Zbrush and make a digital one, break it down into moldable parts and then have it printed. Make molds from that. Don't know, but I know I want to make one really, really bad.

No problem, no list yet, but likely Monday I'll do so. I'm thinking $20.00 for the Weapon kit, $10 for the hands, or $25 for both. The hands though may have to wait until I get some other stuff to pour them in. They should be ready to mold soon though.

Don't worry....I'm working on that too. Got most of the parts already, or at least bookmarked to order. The Hairdryer is the toughest to find, but I've got that part.

You did a great job with Aayla Secura where did you get the Pax paint from?

 

[unsung hero]

I mixed it myself. You need Pros-Aide, which is a prosthetic adhesive and acrylic paint. Mix up the color you want and then mix in the Pros-Aide. Usually PAX is a mixture ratio of 50/50, but I've found it to be too tacky and shiny. I mix about a 75/25 or 80/20 paint to Pros-Aide ratio. Still adheres to the rubber well, and a nice matte finish (assuming that you are using flat paints)

 

[enaud]

I have to agree...at 1st glance the vibro axe does look 1/1.I can imagine how cool it will look assembled.

...Thinking too if one wanted to do a sarlac pit,a kiddie pool & several bags of play sand would be a good start

Thats so cool looking...wow..

I'm down for a weapon and hand kit, Im working nightshift at moment,
so I'll keep my eyes open for this list hehehe.
(Well, one eye open)

 

[Hewer]

Wow awesome stuff mate would love one of these kits.

 

[Chakaman]

Awesome! I would be down for a kit, maybe two. They look fantastic.

Im really looking forward to seeing what you are going to be coming up with in the upcoming months.

 

[unsung hero]

Well, aside from Starkiller and AOTC Anakin which are both about half way done, the one that is likely to be finished first is Yak Face. Head and hands set. And Amanaman too, but I haven't decided if he will be a resin kit or an articulated gel filled Silicone piece. Lot more work in the later, but the end result would be amazing.

With the PAX can I use Model Masters paint?

 

[unsung hero]

Any acrylic should be fine, the only one that would make me nervous is some of the Tamiya paints. they seem to have other qualities about them that make them stronger, but I'm not sure how they would react.

 

[unsung hero]

Parts are under silicone, so list is starting. Again, like the weequay heads, I'm only doing ten at a time. Once those ten are shipped the list will re-open.
