On November 2/3, Rhode Island Comic Con will be held, and in attendance for the first time as a vendor will be Hole in the Ground Productions. If you’re in that area and make the show, be sure to swing by their booth as they will have a full stock of their custom movie props and custom diorama items available.
This weekend we run a well overdue Customizer Spotlight on the amazing work of forum member Peakob1. Just imagine how much more exciting the Clone Wars line would have been in 2012 with attention to detail (and variety of characters) like this!
Check out his latest work in our forums by clicking here!
A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has just kicked off, and the theme is Order 66 Survivors. So get those creative juices flowing for what is sure to be another fun customizing event in our forums. Several entries have already been submitted too, which can be seen here.
The Realm Recap is back again this week picking up where we left off with NYCC news as we touch on a few developments released through QnAs from various sites in attendance. Hot Toys surprises this week with the tease of a new 12” Stormtrooper – which may be more than meet the eye (oops, wrong franchise). 2015 LEGO set images were revealed/leaked this week, again running the gamut of source material and they all impress. Lots of Star Wars Rebels news this week with new (and free) shows, the return of James Earl Jones and Kanan getting an original story in 2015. This and much more in Episode 35 of The Realm Recap!

We shared the custom 6″ scale AT-AT WIP a few days ago and mentioned this piece but today we’re giving it is due spotlight. Brandon Flores in an unbelievably short amount of time, constructed a 6″ scale AT-ST with full functional cockpit. Click on through to view the process of this amazing build from start to finish.
The photonovel adventures of Rykrof Enloe are set to continue in the near future – but a big part of the process before any story can begin is creating new environments for he and his plastic friends to explore. Head on over to the forums for a closer look at the latest diorama that is being constructed after the jump!
Star Wars merchants get one last hurrah in Yakfinities #53 with the Roundup Report! We had dozens of awesome entries and even a few dioramas made for this customizing challenge – which you can check out here. Some good prizes this round too, including our first round of vehicles we’ve given away for a Yakfinities.
Brandon Flores has captured the attention of many collectors and customizers with his scratch-built 6″ scale AT-ST and now he’s moved on to something even bigger: A 6″ scale AT-AT! Click on through to check out part 1 of a gallery of images documenting the build.
I saw this YouTube video on The RPF Forum documenting a build of a full-size, wearable, METAL Episode VII Stormtrooper helmet based on only the few unofficial photos we’ve seen.
Eric Berry from Hole in the Ground Productions has released for immediate sale their latest custom for 3-3/4″ figures – the Troop Transport
I didn’t think the vehicle was all that interesting when I first started work on it but I’m now in love with this thing. Lots of options. The rear bench seat is removable so you can place it on either side on the transport or take it out so it can haul standing troops, droids, or other cargo. Paint it grey and it would make a great vehicle for the Empire too.
