Jules, very fresh.  That fuel droid reminds me a lot of some of the 1950's gas pumps seen later in the 80's: they were bright and colorful, but over time have accumulated plenty of oil, grease, rust, and dirt, and the once vibrant shell has been replaced by a grimy rendition of it's former glory.  Very good work indeed, and on the front page!

Oh, and your ladies in flight look fantastic as well!

That's exactly what came to mind with me too!  It got me thinking about the Back to the Future sequel where the robotic gas attendants swivel as they are filling 'em up. 

Really nice deco; you're one of the best I've seen when it comes to a realistic 'feel' to your creations.  Very nice work.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks guys, your comments and the FP are always cherished!

Well, as I'm on a staycation at the moment my kids have been asking me to make them some custom figures, hence the output. They were playing Force Unleashed this morning and my youngest really wanted a Shadow Guard so i went through the parts bin and here are the results. I also made a shadow trooper to accompany him on his missions....






I'm still in the process of making the Light Staff, so watch this space...

Jules  totally love the latest lot of figures especially the fuel droid very original, the other thing I love about work is the paint apps they have that real life feel to them which I like alot.

Hiya everyone and Happy Holidays!

This is just a custom figure update showing some re-painted X-Wing Pilots and a new Fuel Droid....I've also added some more realistic hands to the Rodian Flight Commander.




  Great looking job man- Very nice  :D

Jules, I am way behind here and trying to catch up. The fuel droid is an awesome creation and a necessity for any hangar dio! I love the TFU characters and my youngest got that game for Christmas so we will be on the look out for them! Well done.

Excellent work on the fuel droid and pilots Jules!  Being a rebel pilot fanboy, I always wonder what you'll come up with next either with your dios, or customs.

I love the fuel droid, both in build and paint scheme.  Big fan of kitbashed droids.

Hey your work looks awesome! Your paint work is really nice, love the shadow trooper. I wanted to ask if you made that hallway with the Force Unleashed figures, is it digital or real? Great stuff man.
