THE CLONE WARS "WALKABOUT - AHSOKA TANO" created by Elias of "Customs for the Kid"

This project was created on commission for a client, and when I received the order, I couldn't have been more excited to make something new. This specific rendition of Ahsoka depicts her sporting her mechanic jumpsuit during her walkabout with the Martez sisters. This one will definitely hurt to send away since I still don't have one for my own collection. I'll have to remedy that very soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for her.

Ahsoka Tano, no longer part of the Jedi Order is now totally alone. When we are introduced to Ahsoka's new life, we find her literally falling out of the sky on Coruscant in a full-blown crash landing onto the lower level 1313 due to a malfunctioning speeder bike. Ahsoka's misfortune leads to meeting the Martez sisters who provide the former Jedi with a fresh perspective on the Order at a time when she’s still grappling with her own wounded view of the peacekeepers of the galaxy. We loved the jumpsuit Ahsoka wore on this grand adventure that led to taking out Spice Lords and crossing paths with Bo Katan and Maul.

For the build of the figure, I used the upper arms, elbows, torso and legs of a "Clone Wars" Legacy Collection Adventure Padmé, the forearms of a The Black Series Ahsoka Tano, and the head of the Shadow of the Dark Side Scuba Ahsoka. First we sanded off the vest of the torso of the Padme with a Dremel before starting the sculpt. The jumpsuit details and control panel on the left glove were fully sculpted, as well as her elongated Lekku and Montrals. After my sculpt dried, I just painted the figure based off of images from the episode, and then sealed it to protect my paint application.

CUSTOM 6" THE BLACK SERIES "SIEGE OF MANDALORE - AHSOKA TANO" created by Elias

Being the 3.75" action figure purists that we are, I never saw myself creating a custom in the 6" scale. However, when a client reached out to me asking for a character as awesome as Ahsoka Tano, I couldn't resist. This commissioned action figure is made from the body of a Star Wars Rebels Black Series Ahsoka Tano, and an Ahsoka head from Watto's Scrapyard, which I modified to give it a more animated look. The Ahsoka body underwent some serious dremelling, and a then I gave her a 100% new sculpt. I used Aves Fixit sculpt to give her arms some more muscular definition, and to smooth out the shirt. I also made sure to make the armor on her gauntlets and boots screen accurate, unlike Hasbro's new 6" Black "Series Siege of Mandalore - Ahsoka Tano" that took some serious shortcuts when it came to screen accuracy on the gauntlets and lower legs.  

I faced a particularly difficult challenge in constructing her Lightsabers, as the ones she used in The Clone Wars don't exist in the 6" scale yet, so I had to dive in head first and sculpt them myself. I did so by cutting a styrene rod to size, and using the tips of the Black Series Ahsoka lightsabers so the blades would still click into place the way they used to. I then sanded the base of the lightsabers down, and then sculpted all the necessary details into place. I dyed her lightsaber blades by simply coating them in a blue wash so they would maintain their transparency.

THE CLONE WARS "SIEGE OF MANDALORE" AHSOKA TANO & THE CLONE WARS - SEASON 7 OBI-WAN KENOBI created by ELIAS

Like many Clone Wars fans, my dad and I are super excited about the release of the new season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. When I received a commission request from Corey Van Dyke of Kessel Run Transmissions to make the Season 7 "Siege of Mandalore" Ahsoka Tano, I was beyond delighted to begin my work on her in anticipation of the upcoming finale to the show.  

To give Ahsoka her older appearance as depicted in the new season, I used ProCreate sculpting putty to extend the Montrals on the top of her head.  I also added to her shorter Lekku and re-sculpted them to look longer than they they were previously to make her appear older.  To articulate her elbows, I cut them away, then drilled into the upper arm and forearm to accommodate the elbow joint from the 3.75" Black Series Ahsoka Tano.  I also used the legs of that same Ahsoka because they already articulated.  I sanded them down so they would appear thinner, and more Clone Wars-esque. Using a Dremel, I then sanded the rest of the boot below her knees.  The armor on her forearms, hips, legs and back were then handsculpted back in.  Her head band was also sculpted by hand.  I removed the tabbard of the Rebels Ahsoka Tano and completely re-sculpted her entire skirt.  Her Mandalorian skirt top was completely different from the Rebels Ahsoka Tano, and required heavy reconstruction as well.  Her lightsabers, however, were more of a simple task.  I removed the green blades, then selected two blue ones, one longer than the other, and sanded both ends so that the super glue would form a stronger bond between the hilt and the blade.  Once her build was completed, I went in with Reaper acrylic paints and painted everything to match reference photos. After I finished her, I couldn't wait to get started on one for myself!

Be sure to keep an eye out for the other two custom action figures I made for Corey, a Season 7 Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Fives in his bar patron disguise from Clone Wars: The Lost Missions.

This custom action figure of Obi-Wan Kenobi was a commission piece that I produced for Corey Van Dyke of Kessel Run Transmissions.  Corey contacted me and asked if I could make him a Clone Wars -Season 7 version of Obi-Wan Kenobi along with an Ahsoka Tano action figure from The Siege of Mandalore. I made the Ahsoka first, so after doing such a complex and tedious action figure that required so much precision, it was a relief to switch over to working on an action figure that was much easier in comparison.

To make Obi-Wan I just needed to make some minor adjustments to the 2013 Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi action figure. First, I used a Dremel to remove the armor of the elbows and hands. Next, I used some ProCreate to sculpt sleeves onto the forearms. Once the ProCreate dried completely, I painted the sleeves to match the rest of his Jedi robes, painted the hands to match his face, and added some grey and blonde highlights to his hair and beard.

The three hours of labor put into making an Obi-Wan Kenobi was a breeze next to the twenty-one hours it took me to make the Ahsoka.
