"THE CLONE WARS" CLONE TROOPER JESSE created by Elias & Wraithnine

For this custom, Wraithnine painted the body and helmet of Jesse. I only painted the head for a commission that I had, and then placed it on the custom figure on my shelf. Makes me want to add heads to the rest of the 501st clones that Wraithnine made for me. He did such a great job weathering them, it would be a shame to not give them an option of being helmetless too.

PURCHASE A "MARROK" FLEXIBLE RESIN CAST from REBEL KID CREATIONS!!!

Marrok was an Anooba owned by the bounty hunter Embo. Marrok was featured prominently in The Clone Wars episodes "Bounty", "Revenge", as well as in the new Clovis arc just released in Season 6 of The Clone Wars on Netflix. Dad really wanted to add this cool Star Wars creature to our collection since Embo's companion Marrok took part in a lot of the action filled scenes that he starred in. Dad always had an interest in creating some of the creatures of Star Wars and always wanted to make the jump from Star Wars characters to their less sentient companions. Marrok would have been an awesome addition to The Clone Wars toy line if he was included as a pack in with a re-carding of Embo. Unfortunately, this repack with new accessory will never come to be now that Hasbro's Clone Wars action figure line is no more.

To produce the Marrok, I created a 3D print file of the character that I designed in Blender. I then scaled the model in Chitubox as an accessory for The Clone Wars Embo action figure and when finished, printed it on a our Longer Orange 30 resin printer. After we had a successful print, we molded that print with Smooth-On Mold Max 14NV and cast the figure in Smooth Cast 61D resin. Once taken out of the pressure pot and demolded, Dad and I took turns applying the paint to our figure and I painted in the final details. We love how he looks next to Embo!

Once we placed the character on our collection shelf, we then donated our mold to Rebel Kid Creations so our sculpt could be available to all of you to add to your own collections. 


























The Clone Wars Embo action figure is not included with purchase.

TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin


Like always, anytime we come across helpful information for the customizing community we try to share it with all of our readers. Well this week's discovery was the YouTube channel TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin. He posted a Star Wars custom figure tutorial on installing a swappable peg system to your Star Wars vintage figures.  We figured we'd post his video here and include a few other useful videos he has created that we think a customizer would find helpful.





















There are plenty more videos available so we advise you subscribe so you don't miss future videos.

"CLONE WARS STEELA & SAW GERRERA" created by CUSTOMS FOR THE KID

Dad has wanted to add the Clone Wars version of Saw Gerrera to the collection for a long time now. So much so that he took it into his own hands to make it happen. The head was originally a modified Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker that Dad completely re-sculpted to more closely assemble Saw's animated persona. Dad borrowed the lower legs from the same figure and completely changed their appearance with Green Stuff and Aves Fixit to mirror Saw's onscreen look. The arms, hands, waist and thighs were from the Clone Wars Quinlan Vos action figure. Of course those were heavily modified. The upper part of his torso was fabricated from the top of the Clone Wars Phase II Clone Trooper. In the end though, Saw ended up being a 100% sculpted action figure since all the parts used were only a base on which Dad built onto.

Once Dad started Saw, I just had to make a Steela. Her legs are from the Clone Wars Padme Amidala, the forearms and hands are from a Clone Wars Cato Parasitti. The rest of the figure was a Clone Wars Aura Sing. From there I just sculpted in everything that needed to be there that wasn't with ProCreate.

We just loved adding this brother/sister set to our collection. Their appearance on our shelves was long overdue!
