Darth Daddy Paints PeakOB1 Custom Creations Prints Pt. 1

Last week, Dad received a message from our good friend, PeakOB1 Custom Creations who accidentally customized his only TCW El Les action figure and was in need of a replacement. Since most customizers hoard action figure fodder, he reached out to us to see if we had an extra El Les figure we would send his way. As soon as Dad got home from work that night he was able to find a complete El Les action figure sitting in a Ziploc bag and mailed it out the very next morning. As a thank you, PeakOB1 sent us some of the coolest resin prints that he had designed with ZBrush on his home computer.

The box arrived this past Saturday and Darth Daddy spent his Father's Day painting up two of the prints.

The first one Dad worked on was a "Return of the Jedi" Wam Lufba action figure. This was a character we had waited a longtime to add to our collection. The sculpt was beautiful and took Dad only about 4 hours to paint. While Wam "Bam' Lufba was one of the more Muppet-looking characters created for the film, Dad did a nice job giving him a gritty paintjob that helped him fit alongside Jabba's other denizens.

Dad also added an elastic fabric strap to the gun to complete the look.

After Dad completed the first figure, Dad then took another hour to paint up one of the four Loth-Cats that came in the package. Dad made the white Loth-Cat from "Star Wars Rebels" admiring all the articulation that was packed into the design.

We were really excited to add these two new pieces to our collection displays and we are looking forward to showing you all some of the other cool pieces that PeakOB1 sent our way. Keep an eye out for Pt. 2!

"STAR WARS REBELS" EIGHTH BROTHER painted by Darth Daddy

This action figure was a 3D resin printed model that we purchased from Angry Raccoon Miniatures and Dad painted up. Angry Raccoon Miniatures has been making so many incredible additions to the Star Wars Rebels action figure line that are so well done that they are hard to pass up. Especially since the Rebels action figure line was so devastatingly underserved. 

Thankfully, we have plenty more Angry Raccoon Miniatures models to paint. We are hoping to add a few more to our collection display shelves throughout this year. What characters from Rebels did you want to see made?

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.
