Celebration Anaheim - Diorama Workshop Giveaway Raffle Today!

Mirko Martinovic's Sabine Wren painted Tie Fighter is the exclusive giveaway that I would want most at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. This custom Star Wars vehicle is just gorgeous. We can all hope that Hasbro releases a version of this vehicle from the season finale of Star Wars Rebels "Fire Across the Galaxy" in the near future. Until any announcements are made, this is the only way to acquire this iconic vehicle. I spoke with Mirko, and this custom took him 3 whole weeks to complete. A true labor of love. The raffle happens at 2pm on Sunday April 19th at the Diorama Workshop at the Hasbro booth at the convention center. The raffle is for kids 16 and under!

This story also appears in Darth Daddy's Customizing Corner over at

The Star Wars Underworld.

STAR WARS: REBELS "SABINE WREN" created by Darth Daddy

I started Sabine the day after Easter, but didn't have a chance to work on her again until today. I started brainstorming this figure before I even had the base figure. I used a Clone Wars Padme head for Sabine's, and then sculpted hair onto it. (The Padme in the white outfit with the purple hood.) I resculpted the lower portion of the face too. Sabine has more of a u-shaped face while Padme has more of a v-shaped face. I took the neck from that figure also so now both her helmet and new head are ball jointed.

To add articulation, I used Cad Bane elbows and Clone Wars Aayla Secura knees. I also added swivel wrists with some spare pegs I had laying around. Today, I sculpted her knee pads, cleaned out her joints to eliminate paint rub, and painted the figure.

I posted a work in progress picture on Sunday that really made the rounds letting me know I was moving in a good direction.
