GLADIATORS PART II

Here is a video showcasing more progress on the Geonosian gladiator action figures that Dad is working on. He took some pictures that show how Tank separates into two different vehicles, one being airborne. He also did the sculpting work on Blade, and took a few pictures of the progress. He included a finished Kitonak Gladiator that he finished today so you all will get something new that you haven't seen thrown into the video too.

GLADIATORS

After Dad finished making me the Gamorrean Gladiator he decided that to get the most use of my Geonosian Battle Arena playset, he should make me a few gladiators to really get the games going. Unfortunately, the figures are all work in progress figures, but a few look good enough to show what we have so far. Hopefully we can show you all the finished pictures when he's done. In the meantime check out what he's got.



"LANNIK GLADIATOR" 
created by Darth Daddy


Dad feels close to finished on this one. He just wants to add facial hair with Apoxie Sculpt so he looks less like the Even Piell action figure that he came from.














"TANK"
created by Darth Daddy


This action figure just needs some detailing on the paint applications finished up and Dad needs to take pictures that illustrate how the top part of the figure separates to become a flying vehicle and tank.


This character was nothing but a torso after his last battle in the arena. This droid has been fused with numerous gladiators throughout its history. Anytime a gladiator loses a leg or two in battle, it's very likely that you will see them appearing as Tank at a future event. Geonosians get their moneys worth from their gladiators.


The Tank's side guns are removable.


Tank can get airborne when he launches of his tread base.











"BLADE"
created by Darth Daddy




Only a few little touch-ups are needed to finish this one up.

COOL EBAY AUCTION FROM PEAKOB1




Hi everybody. We were talking to Peakob1 recently, and he informed us that he is slowing down his collecting and customizing to a snails pace due to an upcoming move and he will consider selling any of his customs to any interested buyers. He has always been a favorite customizer in our house and we recently acquired some of his customs for our own collection. We can say if any bids are placed, they can be made with confidence. You are truly getting a superior product as far as as Star Wars custom action figures go and his body of work is about as cool as it comes.



Check the link below to see a collection of his work:


Here's the link to his first ebay auction for Durchee the Ewok:
