Miniatures Waffle, 3

Here we are again,
waffling this time on miniatures! The googlechats/facetime waffling sessions on philosophy and whatnot will be uploaded elsewhen further down the line, probably by other participants to that conversation (which was really fun to have been a part of).

Okay, so here are some minis projects (im not sure if I've shared these elsewhere before);

 Above: Serra Keto (female model from Wargames Factory conversion; those guys produce some of the finest minis this side of alderaan!)

 Above: various turrets, bonus points if you can identify all the components.

 Above: Upper Battledamaged MagnaGuard (ala EP 3 the game etc), to right, CW series probe droid.

 Above: gen1 magnetised Astromechs (sans R1G5/R3G5 or Ergesh in Astromech); the heads and torsos are interchangeable, and shortantly there shall be more custom robot parts courtesy of yours truly and several former-manus studios and other minis makers worldwide.Neodymium is worse than the plastics/glues/paints we use, so I try to use magnetised paperclips where possible: just enough pull to hold the parts together. Gen3 Magnetised Robots sit flush and are countersunk: no gaping holes as seen in Gen1.

 Above: Anti-starfighter/vehicle Roller Droid (A-S/V-RD), Tri-Pot Droid, and a stock B1 battledroid for scale. (the ASVRD is still WIP: legs or no legs? is it too 'up'?)

 Above: DD and to its right, a walking mode variant. the flash obliterated much of the detail, as the figure is made from hot glue and many clear parts...

 Above: DD and to its right, a 4legged variant of the DD: I never got why they didnt do that in the universe, to distinguish between alleged variants of DD... the mass produced DD's had 4 legs, and were slightly fatter/flimsier looking, and didn't have those popout guards near the center ball... but they did roll, fast!

 Above: DD again, and to its right, the turret section of a T4 Turret Droid. Curse my slow mind, noticing the patterns of the original image and finally putting 2 and 2 together to figure out where they might have had inspiration from: a box of model-kit parts, spluh!

 Above: DD and an oldie but a goldie, super heavy weapons droid. Its an old republic/Sep heavy weapon, partially powered by sith energies...

 Above: Cin Drallig and his protege, Serra Ketto. She looks less fuzzy and goofy in real life: I sneezed while taking this picture.

 Above: Serra Keto, in the Xena-esque "I-eeeeyaheeeeee" shrill warcry pose...

 Above: Side view of the master swordsman and his final apprentice.

 Above: Sora Bulq v2 Redux (so, that'd make it v4, right?) and a one-armed sith lady from the separatists/as a zombie piece to compliment Surf's stat-cards.

 Above: Zabrak Jedi Journeyman (journeyman is apparently the gender-neuter term in-universe), a near-human Jedi Librarian from eons ago, and Siri Tachi (formerly an orphaned and partially melted Mara Jade from a closing down sale...).

 Above: Foul Moudamma v2 (v3 in the pipeline, either 3D extruded or custom figured sculpted...), Female Talz Jedi Weapons Master (she's got a 'boomerang U-type blade', she's a lightsaber thrower for certs) and a stock B1 for scale.

 Above: a revisit of a few oldies: a dark cultist/gray jedi (ironically, with amber blade?), an 'Iron Knight of Illum' jedi archivist/chronicler WIP, and a stock B1... for scale.

 Above: Hobby Dragon's 1mm tube makes perfect lightsaber materials, as do 1/16th acrylic rounds.
Here we see a jedi battlemaster (jar kai), a Wandering Jedi Protector (with purple blade) and a Gran Jedi General (Jar Kai)

 Above: better in real life, but the light when this was taken was overpowering... Halsey, Jedi Knight (made from a RotS jedi knight figure)

Above: Yaddle (a Yoda GM conversion), Yoda ala Epic Duels, and a B1 for scale, though size matters not for this dynamic duo.

Thats all for this round folks, next round, there'll be some more vehicle schematics for miniatures, and some 3D printing Nitinol clothes that FLAP THEMSELVES. I'm working on clothes that zip/unzip themselves, powered by Raspberry Pi or Arduino/other SD card reading solutions...
(they'll be simple fabric solutions initially, then i'll go for replicating jellyfish etc, then I'll go for variable geometry garments!)
