SW Neimoidians: (LACKY STARTED) Nute Gunray & a lacky WIP

Inspired! he looks great.

Your definition of fun is different than mine, but this is definitely an improvement.

Excellent. That turned out great.

I am loving this, your workshop must be amazing.....and are you sure you don't work for George Lucas, clearly you should have!

I was thinking you were going to go the plasticard route with some heating to achieve the curvature. But  it's always nice to use "real" materials when possible.

Nice work!

Thanks! Yeah it's just mild steel and pretty thin, the aluminium I have must be slightly thicker and anodised. Still took some hefty whacks with a hammer to make each indentation.

LOL, well it's all part of the creative process and working with different materials keeps it interesting.

Thank you! Well it was a large kitchen one upon a time lol! The smaller stuff gets done on my lap in the Livingroom where I keep all my more artistic tools and plenty of mechanic's tools too since I have plenty of most tools being a retired motorcycle mechanic, saves me having to go to the workshop all the time
I don't think I could ever work for a company like Lucas etc.. it was bad enough in uni doing my Bsc(hons) in Product Design and having work often metaphorically torn to pieces by judges and critics of official capacity in front of everyone after you've spent a long time creating/designing it. Luckily didn't really happen to me more than a couple of times and that was because of so-called 'team mates' on projects not pulling their weight or showing up. But I saw plenty of others getting their souls crushed publicly through critiques, in Team Lucas you would be dreading everyday that your work would be dismissed b the lack of a stamp of approval, literally, he only stamps stuff he likes in the design rooms and the rest is work down the drain followed by your ego...ouch.

Sorry I've been away, damn cat's gone missing again, been a few weeks now so really upset about it. I also had other non 1/6 builds to do.

I'm thinking I'll make the second Neimoidian a collection of my favourite bits from his lackeys, like the eye and mouth shield thingy, no idea what it does but looks cool!





I like these colours and tabards







I like this headdress



Nice shirt!



What I'm starting with

So which one are you doing? Mr Nice Shirt (Rune Haako) would be a pain to make, but has the most characteristic headdress other than Nute. One and the same headdress and more or less the same look (give or take a cape or poncho) could cover Sil Unch, D Dofine, Tey How, and Jull Dremon, with the mechanical mouthpiece and eyepieces removable.

That’s my question as well.

Like I said, probably a mixture of them using the stuff I already have, part laziness and part liking different parts from each.
