Thanks to Enaud for the Wuher sculpt and thanks to Steven.Giunta for the painting. I am much better at bashing a character than painting a human.

Thanks so much.

...I spent hours hollowing out the resin head/eyes/etc. so I could use taxidermy eyes (Ebay: justeyesandtaxidermy).

 

[Chakaman]

Brilliant dude, looks fantastic. The eyes look outstanding.

Is the tunic handmade? Super stuff. Great job.

Imps bashing



Thanks to Scottyb for the Tarkin sculpt and Steven Giunta for painting Tarkin. (I am flesh tone painting impaired.)

 

[Spudtrooper]

I thought that's what you might have done on the eyes. Looks amazing.

I considered adding more facial hair (lamb chops?) but I was afraid I would ruin the sculpt.

Yes, I pleaded with my wife to sew it for me. It took three attempts and she says it took her "three days."

She does such a fantastic job.

Oh and I was very scared when I darkened it with coffee.

 

[Chakaman]

Wow dude, this is quite an update. Everything looks great. Super job on the Imperials and BoShek.

On the eyes, what size do you use for 1/6th scale figures? This method has me intrigued.


Oh yeah, I wish my wife could sew.

I used 8mm for Gotal. Here is the size I ordered on eBay.

I have some more eyes on order for a different character. (I hope it works.)

 

[Spudtrooper]

You guys are really making me want to make some Cantina characters and I need to resist.

Thanks man.

Um... I'm blown away by all your stuff Predator. You are an artist sir! Where do you get the boots for your characters? They all seem to have the same style and look phenomenal.

Thanks again.

I really like it when you guys notice the details.

I mostly get my parts from ToyAnxiety.com and eBay. The Dragon in Dreams boots like these (click) seem to work well for my Imperials. They are a bit large but because I use the figure's feet and the boot is flexible, it is more stable. (I don't like having to use stands.)

I spend a crazy amount of time looking for just the right boots. I check the original character photos, and the action figures, then I look for something that fits that character and universe. I often find Sideshow boots like the GI Joe figures occasionally work. Hot Toys boots are my favorite because of the ankle peg design.

The Corellian Space Man (BoShek inspired) is wearing Hot Toys Winter Soldier boots.

The Gotal (Feltipern Trevagg inspired) is wearing "Art Figure-AF 015 Heavy Armoured Special Cop" boots and were slightly painted.

I also made sure I could move the eyes around a bit. I purchased eyes that were very similar but the "pupil" size is different. I can swap them out to simulate "self-medication."

Here is my effort to make a 1/6 scale Reegesk custom figure (thanks to Enaud for the resin head)

 

[Chakaman]

Awesome job as usual, he looks great. Nice work on the hands and feet.


Man, I still can't get over how great that Gotal looks. Super stuff.

 

[Son Of Dengar]

Reegesk is phenomenal! Not to mention, Wuher and Gotal! I have questions!! Did you sculpt the feet and hands for the ratman? Also what'd you use for Wuher's belly? Again, amazing work Predator!
