Great figures, indeed.
I especially dig the Jedi and Capt. Tarrant. The ARC Trooper looks very promising, too!

A famous Smuggler - No not that one!! New on 12/11/11
« Reply #182 on: November 12, 2011, 05:40:01 AM »
Here's what's currently on my work bench whilst waiting on the parts for my last 349th Clones!!



I loved the whole SOTE multimedia project when it was released. In fact I bought an N64 just to play the game!! I really dug the character of Dash Rendar too. I still have a carded figure and my outrider in my den. However nowadays the figures are very POTF2 chunky. I can't see Hasbro being in a rush to give us new versions of these characters so I thought blow it - I'll do my own!

From the original Dash I've kept only his head and upper torso! The arms and lower torso are from a 25th GI Joe Blowtorch. The legs are from a 25th Barbecue. Shoulder armour is by Clint and the blaster is from Marauder Inc.

He still needs a drop of dry brushing - hope you like him as much ;D as I do!!

The EU is full of figures that would be awesome. Well done on Dash Rendar.

Thanks for the kind words guys - glad you like him too. There was a couple of points where I thought I messed him up for good! Below are a couple of pics of the finished figure.

Thanks again

Ray

Thanks JMT, Tamer and DO! I don't know why - but I've always really liked the character of Dash - I'd love Hasbro to give us a new version! I'm
Toying with the idea of redoing the Coruscant Guard Luke as well... I'll just have to wait and see what parts turn up next!

Thanks again,

Ray

Stellar work WBs! Really looks like Dash has been hitting the Muscle Milk haha. He looks jacked! I would snatch this up in a second if Hasbro packed it and pegged it :)
