Thanks, everyone!
Sprywalker: I agree.  All my latest pics are "fuzzy".  I recently purchased a tripod for my camera, so maybe that will help.  I also may go back to the stark white background from my earlier posts...those seem to come out better, although it makes the shoot more "clinical" and less "emotional".  If that makes sense.

What kind of camera are you using?  I suggest decreasing the aperture speed; your shutter is open too long, that's why the pics are blurry.  The faster your aperture clicks, the sharper the picture will come out.  ;D
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Strategic Hazard Assault/Recon Commandos are the best of the best Republic troopers.  Grouped into 4-man squads, supported by various droid models and under the direct supervision of a Jedi Special Operations Officer, the SHARCs are a force to be reckoned with.  Afforded more leway than the average trooper, the SHARC squads get to personalize their armor as they see fit, and may employ any and all weaponry they see fit.  They are assigned the most dangerous, important missions...and failure is NOT an option.

SHARC Squad Epsilon Delta Delta, "The Red Stripes":




Working on getting a ragtag lightbox built to take more pics, plus they have a Jedi "handler" that's a WIP currently.  Stay tuned!

Thanks, guys! 

Botwt: I already has a squad started!  Flip back a few pages for their pics.  It's a Nautolian Sith Lord, a Sith Commando and the Sith Lord's robotic bodyguard.

Absolutely killer look to these guys; they literally look like the upcoming TOR trooper due in August...looks like you won't be needing any of those!

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