We kick this Monday off on a bit of a positive note – some more creative energy from our forum members through some fan-fiction photonovels!

First off, hangarbay has released another chapter in his ongoing X-Wing Alliance series, which includes a tense battle with Imperial Stormtroopers aboard a Star Destroyer – check it out here.

Need some more OT goodness?  Form member jlw515 has also posted a new chapter in his Vader’s Quest series, which entails the perspective of the Galactic Civil War from all angles – including hotshot Rebel pilots.  Click here for this latest update.

Last but not least, Darth Depressis has wrapped up two more chapters in his post-ROTJ series, where the Clone Emperor is determined to regain control of the galaxy – check out his lastest installments, Defenders of the Dark Empire Part One and Part Two.

Hunting down Hasbro’s new 2012 figures can be a blast, but sometimes an even more rewarding aspect of the hobby is creating your own customs – and Yakface forum members have been busy doing just that!

First off, forumite hyperdrive has truly mastered the art of soft goods – check out his rendition of old Ben Kenobi, and several other customs benefitting from soft goods “done right” by clicking here!

And have you ever seen a Jawa Mandalorian?  Probably not, but your fears of never seeing one can now be calmed – just click here to see a very unique custom that will blow your mind by Straxus!

DarthDaddy has also been busy – including a custom of R5-P8, a customized assassin astromech droid used by Hondo Ohnaka’s pirate gang.  Check it out here!

Last but not least, forum member mousedroidhoojib shows off some great new work as well, which includes a very cool alien design from ROTS – click here for his customizing thread!

Multi-Site Customizing Contest

Leave a comment

Yakface is proud to announce a tribute to a friend of the community who passed away last summer – a multi-site customizing contest that was in the works by a collector know around the forums as MercuryArtStudios.   We were shocked and saddened last summer when he tragically lost his life in a car accident.

Mike Martinez left behind a great following in the customizing community and touched a lot of people.   In his memory, we wanted to see through an Evolution style themed customizing contest that he had been planning – so we have teamed up with two other sites to make this happen.  We are proud to have teamed up with Echo Base News and Imperial Shipyards to host this customizing event.

To help encourage particpation, we’ve also gathered a great pool of prizes – for more information and rules of entry, click here!
