YODA RETURNS TO DAGOBAH!! -see post #79 5-10-09

Well, almost.
The last thing I need to do is find a better rope for the flute.
It's so minor, I'm still calling him finished. :p

These are the additional features added to him since the last set of pics:
- A Guntakela flute, (repainted by me).
- A Vadermonkey cane, (I heavily modified it by thinning it down, slightly reshaping it, and resculpting some of the details).
- I sculpted a set of teeth, but they are hard to see in the pics. The mouth on my yoda head isn't designed to open wide so all you really get is a glimpse of them.


I'll be taking a bunch more official pics later for my SWP proparchive.
But for now, here are some I just took.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for all the support guys.

Here are some new ones trying to show off the new interior mouth mods.
Now I can take pics of him with his mouth open as well as tightly closed.

However, I have to say, if there is a way for me to make and post a video of me puppeteering him along with some ESB audio, I totally will.
It is a must see. It really does look so much like the real thing the way the mouth moves and seeing the teeth when his mouth opens wide just adds so much realism.
I modified the inside of the head to create notches for my index and second finger above the brow, as well as a custom thumb insert against the lower lip which allows me to articulate the mouth.

Until I'm able to get some sort of video, here are some pics.

Let me know what you think.

Interested in the next run pending price.





HA! Seriously man. Amazing. Even more amazing that this reproduction is also a puppet as the original. That's a lot of extra work beyond just the look itself. Hope to see video of him in action.

Looks fantastic, I'm really liking the weathering and detail done to the soft parts. I'd love to see some video.

Now that my Yoda is finished, I need to update his proparchive page on SWP.
I've already taken some shots I'll probably use for that, but wanted to get some shots taken where it would look like he was in his natural environment.

I had an opportunity to take him out to the woods for a photo shoot earlier today with the help of one of my good friends.
I bought some dry ice, some autumn leaves, packed up some photo reference and set out at the crack of dawn to look for a suitable spot (sans poison ivy).

Here are a couple.
I hope you guys like them.
Let me know what you think.
