Twelfth Parsec sends in a new update about the Custom Star Wars Inspired Space Trees...

!!!!! THEY'VE EXTENDED THEIR DEADLINE !!!!!

Due to recent popular demand indiegogo has asked them if they wanted to extend their campaign an additional 16 days to take advantage of the recent momentum and allow more people to get their orders in!

Because of the recent inflow of orders they have decided to extend the deadline.

The final date to place an order is now April 23rd.

-Orders placed AFTER the original end date April 8th will have new delivery dates of September because of the recent demand.

- All orders that were placed BEFORE April 8th will still have the original delivery dates listed when you purchased your perk."

The Clone Wars: The Lost Missions - "Yoda" Custom Action Figure created by ELIAS

Completing my first sculpted figure was a real milestone in my development as an artist. It made me feel like I was more a part of the customizing community now that I could participate in conversations about sculpting with some experience behind me. Prior to making this figure, I had only observed my dad sculpt action figures. Dad gave me this project feeling it would be a great introductory lesson on sculpting for me. Dad said that he first practiced his sculpting technique by creating hair on action figure heads before he attempted more advanced techniques.

To sculpt the hairstyle on the matured Yoda character model, I used Green Stuff. When my sculpt hardened and dried, a grey prime coat was applied to the sculpt and then black washes were used on the recesses while white paint was dry brushed to the raised areas of the sculpt.

THE CLONE WARS: THE LOST MISSIONS

"Yoda" Custom Action Figure

created by Elias

 

SKILL LEVEL: ADVANCED

 

The original Yoda character model pictured above was released by Hasbro as a toy.  The second Yoda character model is pictured below it and never was released as a toy.  I modified the action figure made by Hasbro to create Yoda as he was depicted in the later seasons of The Clone Wars TV series so I had both versions of the Jedi Master.

 My version on the left.  Hasbro's is on the right.

My Yoda was featured on the front page of Imperial Shipyards.
