"IMPERIAL EIGHT PANEL COMPUTER CONSOLE" painted by Elias

Elias has been hard at work creating some really cool displays for his shelves. His latest project was adding an "eight panel computer console" and flooring to an Imperial diorama that he purchased on eBay. We bought the cast of the computer console from Hole In the Ground Productions, assembled and painted it, and after placed it in a Frank D'iorio Diorama Workshop inspired piece that we purchased second hand on eBay. We then used glossy black adhesive vinyl contact paper on some spare foam board that we had to add the flooring to the walls and completed the look.

CLONE WARS "CAPTAIN TARKIN" created by Darth Daddy

This was a fairly quick custom that I made not too long ago with the head of a POTF2 Grand Moff Tarkin, and the body of The Clone Wars Admiral Yularen action figure.  I sculpted some more hair onto the head and then painted the sculpt after drilling a hole into the bottom of the head to make it fit on the peg. 

Captain Tarkin featured heavily in The Clone Wars both in The Citadel arc and during Ahsoka's trial. We thought Tarkin was more than worthy of a spot on The Clone Wars collection shelf.  Hope you all enjoy!

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: Peak-OB1 Custom Creations

We have always been huge Peak-OB1 fans in this house.  For many years now he has created some of the coolest Clone Wars custom action figures, many of which have a home in our personal collection.  Since we are such big fans, we jumped at the opportunity to add some new characters to our action figure displays when PeakOB1 created a "Dr. Nuvo Vindi", a "Sy Snootles", "Jek Lawquane", "Nimbanel Bartender" and "Clone Commando Gregor".

All these figures sport beautiful sculpts, reliable engineering, and the gorgeous paint applications that Peak-OB1 is most known for.  We can't thank him enough for helping us build the most impressive Clone Wars action figure collection in the world today.  One day we're going to have to house our collection in a museum so everyone can enjoy it.  Maybe if we ever stop playing with it.  Don't hold your breath.  It may be a while.

"DROID FLIPPER" painted by Elias

For those active in fan forums, you are probably already familiar with the awesome diorama pieces that Hole In the Ground Productions offers to fellow collectors. Hole In the Ground's offerings are just too cool to not be part of any Star Wars 3.75″ collection.  Elias recently purchased and customized Hole In the Ground's new Robot Flipper.  The item was a great way to embellish the Droid Torture Chamber section of his Jabba shelf space by displaying this newly painted accessory.  Elias used cinnamon to add the rust color to this piece.  The new addition looks great posed with Elias' super-articulated 8D8 droid that he created a ways back.
