Last week, Dad received a message from our good friend, PeakOB1 Custom Creations who accidentally customized his only TCW El Les action figure and was in need of a replacement. Since most customizers hoard action figure fodder, he reached out to us to see if we had an extra El Les figure we would send his way. As soon as Dad got home from work that night he was able to find a complete El Les action figure sitting in a Ziploc bag and mailed it out the very next morning. As a thank you, PeakOB1 sent us some of the coolest resin prints that he had designed with ZBrush on his home computer.
The box arrived this past Saturday and Darth Daddy spent his Father's Day painting up two of the prints.
The first one Dad worked on was a "Return of the Jedi" Wam Lufba action figure. This was a character we had waited a longtime to add to our collection. The sculpt was beautiful and took Dad only about 4 hours to paint. While Wam "Bam' Lufba was one of the more Muppet-looking characters created for the film, Dad did a nice job giving him a gritty paintjob that helped him fit alongside Jabba's other denizens.
Dad also added an elastic fabric strap to the gun to complete the look.
After Dad completed the first figure, Dad then took another hour to paint up one of the four Loth-Cats that came in the package. Dad made the white Loth-Cat from "Star Wars Rebels" admiring all the articulation that was packed into the design.
We were really excited to add these two new pieces to our collection displays and we are looking forward to showing you all some of the other cool pieces that PeakOB1 sent our way. Keep an eye out for Pt. 2!
