Re: Holochess (Dejarik) Figure Set
Ng'ok is in the mold.. But I ran out of silicone, waiting for the next batch (arrives on friday) and conceptualizing the next monster "Grimtaash the Molator", while I wait.
This guy is complicated! I'm hoping to joint his main arms, I'll be working on some ball joint concepts today. He's very top-heavy :/, so I might need to look into making a small rotocast machine to help lighten up the head and torso.

Re: Holochess (Dejarik) Figure Set
Received my M'onnock today! A few unboxing shots:
And with a few friends....
I'm gonna need a bigger game board, it's getting a bit cramped! Also think I may just have to upgrade my other figures if you keep up the great quality! (My Savrip and Strider definite look a bit small now)
Looking forward to seeing more!

Re: Holochess (Dejarik) Figure Set
Thanks for the pictures Howl! Glad he made it all that way in one piece. I agree about the Savrip/Strider, but he looks perfectly at home next to the Houjix, K'lor'slug and the Ghhhk! I'm glad the scale matched up.
I found some old Silicone in the garage and had just enough to cast up a Molator arm. I found a ball joint system I think works. Now I've been tediously soldering 120 Molatar joints, and hand making 1200 Ng'ok teeth :wacko
Silicone arrives today, so I should be able to get a full Ng'ok cast by Monday.

What are you making the Ng'ok teeth from? When I made my own baby Krites (Critters), I cut off the ends of tooth picks, which worked well.

Looking good. Sign me up. Looking at the Chronicles photo and the HD screencap, should the overall colouration be a bit more browny yellow? Seems a touch too pale/white in your photo.

Yeah, that lighting makes a huge difference to the colour - looks much more accurate now.

Re: Holochess (Dejarik) Figure Set
Ng'ok arrived today. He's hanging out with his buddies, but it's starting to look a bit crowded!
And here's the ones that are all in scale with each other:
And your sculpts ready for a fight:

Re: Holochess (Dejarik) Figure Set
Sorry Its been a while since the last update. Celebration kinda threw a wrench in my schedule, and the week after has been catching up with other work. What a great time that was though! I was very excited to see my completed figures at the Rancho Obi-Wan exhibit on the show floor on one of Rebelscums awesome tables.
I was able to make a decent amount of progress on Grimtaash today. His body is done, but I still need to finish sculpting the second arm and both legs. He's proven to be quite the challenge and I think will likely be the most complicated of them all.
I ended up making a little rotocasting machine (using some plans found here: http://solsylva.com/cnc/rotomolder.shtml) to help with his balance issues as well:

That's awesome. Great to see someone making games from in-universe. Now all you need is a Sabacc set to go with it!

Re: Holochess (Dejarik) Figure Set
Wow! This guy was tough! Sorry for those waiting on this guy, he was a bit of a sculpting and engineering nightmare, but I think he turned out great and will likely end up being my favorite. I should be wrapping up the rest of them throughout the week and then I'm on to the Kintan Strider.
He's a good bit bigger than the last two, and his arms joint at the shoulder. I didn't end up going with fully jointed arms, they ended up being more trouble than they were worth and made him much more likely to break.

Super cool stuff! I too love the in-universe games. We definitely need more of them.
