Hi everyone,

I've been a bit busy with work of late so I apologise if I haven't been keeping up with events. There seems to be some fresh faces around here, and I've been blown away by images of recent customs on the front page lately.

This weekend I had a bit of time to work on the pilots for the next chapter of X-Wing Alliance (see the Graphic Fiction forum). Here are the pilots and their names. I just need to alter the female pilots hair colour then the pilots will be complete.

Some of you may recognise the head of the pilot on the far left, he was a Jedi Monk as seen in the Darkchild Saga, I think Doc Outland created him. 

If anyone has any suggestions or continuity issues please let me know as any comments will be greatly received.

Special thanks goes to Viper Aviator for creating the Squadron's insignia.





Great looking Squadron you have here Julian. I like the idea of changing the hair lolor on the female. How about changing the skull cap on Cad Bane head to tan like the pre helmet that comes with the A-Wing pilot. Good job again!

Sweeeet, sweet set of pilots!  Great group shot and love the Kel Dor pilot: the orange pilot colors look great on that B-wing pilot body.  The Cad Bane head was great choice; great look for an alien pilot we haven't seen before. 

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

Rich, the head is one I casted from B'arin Apma - the black-armored Mandalorian from the EE boxed set.  I believe Clint has the head available in his shop now.  In original Hasbro paint, the head is *very* "baby-faced."  I added some wrinkles around the eye-corners and the forehead and gave him a goatee. Giving him some grey hair, as well, helped to "age" the face.  He ended up looking almost dead-on like a dozer operator I worked with several years ago - who also happened to be a Star Wars junkie!  Gotta love serendipity.

As the pic was loading, I was giggling and saying, "Hey, I know that guy!"

the pilots look amazing.  the bane and embo heads take the cake though, those are just such uniquely distinct aliens that we are just now learning about it's refreshing to see them used else-where.  I'm surprised that the bane head doesn't look undersized in the flight suit figure though.  Any legacy style body I've put that head onto has made the head look pea-sized...

Wow, what a great group of custom's pilots. Ah Hasbro, will you ever give us anymore alien rebel pilots. Look how great these turned out!
