1.16.22 - Sculpt progress on Star Wars: Dark Times (Dark Horse Comics) Dass Jennir and Falco Sang along with my first sculpt update on the "OG" bounty hunter, Skorr from the classic Marvel comic strip The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. All 1:18 scale.
Holidays are over, the decorations are stored, time to get back to work.
Sculpt progress on Dass Jennir. I finished the first set of variant forearms that are connected by the magnets seen in my last update. Strong attachments, as if they were jointed. The second variant will have the forearms wrapped as they appeared when Jennir rode his steed. I also worked on building up the chest sculpt a bit, adding a loosely fitted collar to the shirt. Added some more hair to the head sculpt and began working on a hood/head combo that will work independently from one another rather than being a single, static sculpt.
Also worked on Jenir's steed. The sculpt as seen here in the photos will need a complete rework with the exception of the head and horns. The entire body needs to be thinned out, the neck especially. The neck also needs to be elongated and the center articulation cut removed. I never liked that and it serves no purpose. I think the body is ok...just too thick, muscular. Nothing wrong with some definition but right now the body is looking too much like a Clydesdale.
Falco Sang progress. Started sculpting the upper body and arms of the figure. I'm not sure if the character's "sneaking suit" contained a texture? In the comics, it's a flat black. I took a little artistic license and added a subtle texture to the bodysuit. When painted, I think it will make the figure much more interesting to look at. Also sculpted one of the shoulder guards. Not sure how it will connect to the figure at this point. I'm looking at some clear or black elastic mini bands to go over the shoulder. I want a free range of movement, that's for certain. Finally, I worked a bit more on Falco's unmasked head sculpt. Sanding down the scalp and sculpting ears. I plan on sculpting his hair this week. I also need to begin working on his doid, Ize.
The true "OG" bounty hunter. Before Boba, there was Skorr - the Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. You've seen the head sculpt before - I sculpted that back in 2011 I think? It needs a little work to bring it up to the standards I have now. Back then I was having issues learning to blend layers of epoxy at this scale. If you zoom in on this sculpt, you will see where layers ended and new layers began. Some simple sanding and resculpting will bring the head to sculpt up to date so expect a better look coming soon. The body is a dremeled down Spartan figure from Boss Fight. Nothing modded yet. I'm sure I will replace the neck joint and add more articulation but this will be the frame of choice. Gathered all the source images I could find so I hope to begin having better updates for you all in the immediate future.
Bonus! I'll be sculpting his sidekick "Gribbet" who is a Rybet bounty hunter and whose species ironically appears in the Dark Horse series! I've included a panel image showing the creature standing near Dass Jennir.
That's it for this week! Hope to have more to show you next week - if anything, just an image or two to show progress. Will be needing to purchase new molding and casting material for replications soon.

Han: Yeah, the big furball has gone off and gotten himself into a heap of trouble. He was gett'in cabin fever, cooped up in here with me all week and went out to get some fresh mountain air. That was about 2 days ago and he hasn't been seen since then!
Wedge: That's horrible! Any idea what happened to him?
This Elmo is decked out as the Star Wars Expanded Universe's Clone Emperor. I made this costume for the doll in honor of my friend, Thomas Spanos, when he earned the position of LMO (Legion Membership Officer) of the 501st Legion, one of the most popular/famous Star Wars international costuming communities. Thomas attended/attends costuming conventions as this character with such frequency, that Star Wars comic artists often use his image when rendering works involving the Clone Emperor.
The Elmo/LMO costume consists of a knitted, double-stranded kimono, hand-stitched naugahide tunic, boots and neckpiece and a knitted and then felted robe. It sounds funny, but this is perhaps one of the most challenging "crafty" projects I ever attempted.
The lightsaber is supersculpy and its base is wound wire.
Thomas' costuming gallery can be found at the following URL: www.paralada.org .

Wedge: Alright, I give you my word as a fellow Corellian that I'll rescue Chewbacca.
Han: That's good enough for me! Maintain an open commlink, let me know if you run into any trouble, I'll see if I can spare any of that shuttle crew to get over there and help you out if you need it.

Two great characters from some now classic books which helped kick off the modern Expanded Universe and build up excitement for the return of Star Wars.
I mainly bought this pack for the Thrawn figure, but found myself digging Talon Karrde more! The Thrawn figure is pretty nice, but has one major: flaw his ankles, which should be black to match the rest of his boots show some white in the spot where they are articulated. Could've been avoided if Hasbro had just used some black plastic on his legs instead of white!
Wedge carefully approaches the ship.
He notices that the landing ramp is down.
"Well, that's a good sign, they must've survived if they were able to put down the ramp and set up that distress call. But why haven't they answered me when I've tried to radio them?"

Gathered all the source images I could find so I hope to begin having better updates for you all in the immediate future.
Bonus! I'll be sculpting his sidekick "Gribbet" who is a Rybet bounty hunter and whose species ironically appears in the Dark Horse series! I've included a panel image showing the creature standing near Dass Jennir.
That's it for this week! Hope to have more to show you next week - if anything, just an image or two to show progress. Will be needing to purchase new molding and casting material for replications soon.
Thanks again for your continued interest in my work! I appreciate all the comments and critique you've given me!

1.16.22 - Sculpt progress on Star Wars: Dark Times (Dark Horse Comics) Dass Jennir and Falco Sang along with my first sculpt update on the "OG" bounty hunter, Skorr from the classic Marvel comic strip The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. All 1:18 scale.
Holidays are over, the decorations are stored, time to get back to work.
Sculpt progress on Dass Jennir. I finished the first set of variant forearms that are connected by the magnets seen in my last update. Strong attachments, as if they were jointed. The second variant will have the forearms wrapped as they appeared when Jennir rode his steed. I also worked on building up the chest sculpt a bit, adding a loosely fitted collar to the shirt. Added some more hair to the head sculpt and began working on a hood/head combo that will work independently from one another rather than being a single, static sculpt.
Also worked on Jenir's steed. The sculpt as seen here in the photos will need a complete rework with the exception of the head and horns. The entire body needs to be thinned out, the neck especially. The neck also needs to be elongated and the center articulation cut removed. I never liked that and it serves no purpose. I think the body is ok...just too thick, muscular. Nothing wrong with some definition but right now the body is looking too much like a Clydesdale.
Falco Sang progress. Started sculpting the upper body and arms of the figure. I'm not sure if the character's "sneaking suit" contained a texture? In the comics, it's a flat black. I took a little artistic license and added a subtle texture to the bodysuit. When painted, I think it will make the figure much more interesting to look at. Also sculpted one of the shoulder guards. Not sure how it will connect to the figure at this point. I'm looking at some clear or black elastic mini bands to go over the shoulder. I want a free range of movement, that's for certain. Finally, I worked a bit more on Falco's unmasked head sculpt. Sanding down the scalp and sculpting ears. I plan on sculpting his hair this week. I also need to begin working on his doid, Ize.
The true "OG" bounty hunter. Before Boba, there was Skorr - the Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. You've seen the head sculpt before - I sculpted that back in 2011 I think? It needs a little work to bring it up to the standards I have now. Back then I was having issues learning to blend layers of epoxy at this scale. If you zoom in on this sculpt, you will see where layers ended and new layers began. Some simple sanding and resculpting will bring the head to sculpt up to date so expect a better look coming soon. The body is a dremeled down Spartan figure from Boss Fight. Nothing modded yet. I'm sure I will replace the neck joint and add more articulation but this will be the frame of choice.

As he nears the fortress, he spots an unusual craft parked in the mouldering courtyard.
"Wow, check out that antique skyhopper! My ancestors used to fly something like that thousands of years ago I never thought I'd see a real one up close."
We really like picking on her. If we had a Zekk it would've been much worse since he just would've had to whine about her the whole time.
Wedge: General Solo! What a relief to find you alive and well! As soon as we were able to convince some of those Imperial scientists to help us, I volunteered to search for you.
Han: Please, Wedge, after all we've been through together you can drop the "General" routine, just call me Han! I appreciate you com'in after us. We've been stuck in this frozen hellhole for the better part of a week try'in to get the Falcon spaceworthy again. We were start'in to think we'd never see another friendly face!
