This sculpture of Yoda as an old human was created by Andrea Eusebi. His blog has more pictures. The model uses sintafoam (polyuerethane resin) and is about 33 cm tall, which is pretty large. Despite the fantastic design and sculpting I think it’s the painting, that careful flesh tone and colouring, along with the whisps […]

Geek cute and rare Gamorrean Guard piggy bank
Remember the Gamorrean “pig” Guards from Return of the Jedi? The fur clad, green skinned warriors, first seen hanging around Jabba’s Palace? They’re actually from a jungle planet, Gamoor, in the Outer Rim. They’re a race of warriors. Except this one. This porcine fella is a defender of the coins. They’re also rare; produced for […]
Cats sing a deadly Star Wars theme song
Are there words for videos like this? This is actually a second generation “cats sing” video as the original is Game of Thrones opening sung by a cat which, at the time of posting, has had over 2,000,000 views. 2 million views amounts to money. This Star Wars version, at the time of posting, is […]
Cosplay made DragonCon 2012 level 2 of awesome
Once cosplay might have been considered lame or even weird. Okay, maybe it still is – but only by those fools who’ve yet to succumb to the geek way. I look at this awesome video by Micah Moore and my jaw hits the keyboard. I don’t have the blog-skills, the wordsmithing ability, enough command of […]
The faces of famous robots
This charming poster was created by the designer Daniel Nyari Nyari was born in Roania, grew up in Austria and now lives in New York. In addition to his art talent he clearly has good taste in sci-fi too.
The beasts of Star Wars – cute and on your plate
These rather cute versions of some Star Wars beasts are from the talented folk at Third Half Studios. I see what they’ve done with their name. In theory you can even buy these plates over at their Etsy store but I’ve had a rummage around and can’t find them. A sell out? Likely. Are these […]
Iconic Disney characters do Star Wars
Texan artist Nathan Boyd maintains a blog as well as a strong profile on Deviant Art. His blog, Sily Nate, is divided into Characters, Backgrounds, Animation, Posters, Storyboards and Miscellaneous. Therein is the first clue he’s an artist with wide talent. A quick tour of his work (which I highly) recommend reveals a skill at […]
The Dark Side of the Force versus Aliens
Here’s an interesting battle. I say “interesting” in the sense of academic and “I’d watch from a great distance” as it’s certainly not a conflict I’d want to be close too. Who would win when it came to Sith versus Aliens? Could Darth Maul take out a host of Xenomorph aliens? Could Darth Vader take […]
Steampunk Darth Vader conversion
Jen at Epbot has a fantastic post which walks her audience through a project that started in May. It begins as a $30 Vader helmet & mask combo by Rubies and then the saw comes out as we’re just working on the bottom half. Jen describes the cutting experience as “terrifying” due to hot and […]
The best Star Wars model ever? Life-sized Rancor
The Rancor monster was unfortunate enough to have Luke Skywalker, in Jedi mode, dropped into his pit by the evil Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. He’s been a fan favourite ever since.
