FROST and R2-8D

Both are crew members of the Yaru's Blade.  Frost is a T-3PO series protocol droid and R2-8D, aka "Matey," is the ship's astromech droid. Both of these figures are relatively simple repaints.  I think the metallic blue color on Frost turned out pretty well with the green highlights.  The colors on R2-8D are pretty ugly, but still work out to me somehow.

Bodies: C-3PO and R2-D2


















YARU'S BLADE CREW

This pic is a glimpse of the full crew of Yaru's Blade.  I have been working o nthese figures for a few months now they're all finally complete.  I think the project turned out great.  All of them standing there together look very Star Wars to me. I will be posting pics of each separate crew member.

DJINN ALTIS

This is Djinn Altis, from Imperial Commando: 501st by Karen Traviss and Children of The Jedi by Barbara Hambly, both of which I've finished relatively recently.  I didn't have any artwork to go from, so I came up with my own image of Djinn.  I finished this figure about a month ago.  I shaved down the neck and ball joint to fit the head.  I also cut down the belt and cut the helmet to fit.  The added shoulder armor and the arm plates are pieces of plastic business cards cut to fit.

Recipe:

Body:  Light Side Secret Apprentice
Head:  Talon Karrde
Helmet:  Jedi Temple Youngling
Armor: Clone Wars Anakin

BARDAN JUSIK

This is Bardan Jusik, from the Republic Commando Novel series by Karen Traviss.  I finished this figure about a week ago.  I really liked the way it turned out.  This is also my first time adding any kind of a fight scene.  I had an extra Stormtrooper laying around and thought it would add a nice touch.  I didn't run into many challenges with this figure, as it was mostly a repaint. I did add some sculpting to make his beard and hairline in the back.

MANDALORIAN MERCENARIES

The Three.  Here are all three of the Mandalorian Mercenaries in my series.  I'm pretty happy with the group overall.  Death for Hire.
