"Eirtaé - Royal Handmaiden" created by Elias

Eirtaé was a female human who was part of Queen Amidala's retinue of handmaidens. Contrarily to all the other handmaidens and to the Queen herself, she had blond hair. When the Trade Federation invaded Naboo, Eirtaé was one of the three handmaidens who accompanied Amidala to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic. When the Queen returned to her homeworld in hopes of retaking it, the blonde handmaiden joined the struggle. In the aftermath, Eirtaé was present at the funeral of Qui-Gon Jinn, a Jedi Master who had lost his life during the conflict.

This was a very quick repaint by Elias, but the results are pretty stellar.  Once the base coat was applied, all he needed was a few washes and some drybrushed in highlights to make this figure really pop. This a great custom action figure to do for beginning customizers and it's a great way to increase the size of Padme's royal entourage.

"WAN SANDAGE" painted by Elias

Last year around the holidays, I bought my 11 year old son, Elias, some of the podracer cast figure models that were created by ASIS FILM MODELS. Although the figures offered no articulation, the sculpts were really amazing!

Recently Elias painted the Wan Sandage that we received to display with his podracer collection.  Elias' paintwork was masterfully applied and he added another great podracer to his Phantom Menace collection.  Stay tuned for more podracers throughout the month of March!

ASIS FILM MODELS - Custom Star Wars Model Kits

Earlier this week, I read about a company by the name of ASIS Film Models that had contacted Jedi News to inform them of their line of 3 3/4" custom Star Wars model kits currently posted on their website for sale.

We bought a set here at home, and we recommend visiting the source link below to check out all of their available models.  The design work is just amazing and this will probably be the only way to complete your set of Phantom Menace podracers now that Hasbro has their plates full with future releases.

These kits are a LIMITED SERIES of only 200 units each! (includes serial number and sculptor´s signature).
