Thanks guys. I have deliberately added more aliens and races  into my Alliance squadrons and I have also chosen aliens as squadron leaders, I am glad you all approve.

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!"

Yes it was you who created him and I've been dying to resurrect him as I loved the figure you created for Darkchild. His face just oooozes character and I suspect we will be seeing much more of him in the coming months and years....

simply brilliant Jules
a good idea to use CW figures for new custom alien pilots
my favorite is the Cad Bane pilot (Ido Chiba)

Those words make me very, very happy!

Hi folks,

It's been a while since I posted any custom figures here, but as I've just completed working on the Storm Unit figures for the next X-Wing Alliance chapter, I thought I'd post them here....

Storm Unit specialise in Boarding Operations and form part of 'Cloak Group' - Elite Boarding Commando's' based on-board the Calamari Cruiser Defiance.  This is their Wookie Page...

Jules, they look like a rough, tough, band of trained killers!  Excellent work, and I can't wait to see them in action in the next chapter!
