1:1 "Freeborn" YODA (THE ULTIMATE GOAL) R.I.P STUART FREEBORN

Re: 1:1 "Freeborn" YODA (THE ULTIMATE GOAL) Almost Finished Pge [19]

IMHO this is the best Yoda replica ever. Very well done!
Better than the MOM Yoda, which sad to say now looks very little like the character we saw on screen. (unlike yours)

Got the parts molded for the static in this extra flexible urethine stuff a friend sent over from the States. It can be painted with acryllics aswell and hair punched in... basically just as good as the latex for working with but no distortion and aging issues.

Wow , this looks so freaking real .
 
Re: 1:1 "Freeborn" YODA (THE ULTIMATE GOAL) Almost Finished Pge [21]

Phenomenal.

Looking forward to seeing the static version too, Phil.

Couldn't resist another "screencap" :)

I cannot think of anything coming even close to giving the same feeling one gets from seeing Yoda onscreen. Anything you've done in the past simply becomes an echo of this definitive work....

QFT .

I remember when Phil released his last (V2) Yoda, at the time I thought it could not be topped. I was completely wrong.

This is, in my opinion, the best rendition of Yoda ever produced outside of Freeborn's workshop.

This is amazing phil but i cant help thinking what a version 4 yoda from you would be like. lol. Great work man, you should be proud of this, its incredible
 
Re: 1:1 "Freeborn" YODA (THE ULTIMATE GOAL) Almost Finished Pge [21]

There can't be a version 4 unless it can levitate X Wings.
 
Re: 1:1 "Freeborn" YODA (THE ULTIMATE GOAL) Almost Finished Pge [21]

I have complete faith that phil can make one that can levitate an x wing...... (Que Inspirational music)
 
Re: 1:1 "Freeborn" YODA (THE ULTIMATE GOAL) Almost Finished Pge [21]

This is by far the best Yoda replica i've seen.
Very well done!

Keith.

I was waiting for you to chime in with another brillant PS Sith... Looks great! :eek
 
Re: 1:1 "Freeborn" YODA (THE ULTIMATE GOAL) Almost Finished Pge [21]

What can be said that hasn't been said? :eek

It's a fantastic sculpt. Phenomenal attention to detail. Your paint work really sells it as the character.

Thanks guys...

On the subject of the eye mechanism.... the animatronic guy got back to me with a very high quote for the radio controlled robotics (eighteen hundred dollars + :wacko) so unfortunately I'm going to have to abandon that idea and persue my own method... hand and cable controlled device. I've got it all figured out on paper so now need to create the parts :love

A little question to you guys..... do any of you notice if Yodas eyes move up and down at any point during the ESB or ROTJ ?

From memory I don't think they do mate - left to right and when he needs to look up or down, his head moves. I could be wrong...
