Those droid tanks look great and don't let the scale issue bother you. I see them more as Dwarf Droid Tanks purposely designed for urban combat to be smaller to go into buildings/etc. to chase after their prey.

Re: Darth Optimus' Customs. UPDATE 07/16! A few WIPs...

Thanks, guys!  Here are a few more WIPs.

Got nearly done with this "hardshell" TOR-era Jedi when I remembered that this species has FOUR arms.  The second set wouldn't fit, so now back to the head box for another selection.



Next up is my latest Kenner Predator revamp.  This one will be a sniper.


This is a Red Faction Marauder Officer that will be reborn as a TOR-era Tusken Sith Lord.


Lastly is a Borg Drone built on a Blanx Alpha frame.  So excited over this one!  I've wanted to do a 3.75" Borg for a LONG time, and the Blanx is a perfect base!  But now I gotta get more...you can't have just one Borg Drone!




The pics are cruddy, I'll try for better ones when I post finished pics.  Now back to the lab!

Great looking figures mate!! I thought the first guy was one of those conehead dudes like Ki-Adi-Mundi. So are those Blank figures good to work with, do thier joints rub off paint, or are they already drimmeled?

Very nice looking WIP's Michael! I can't wait to see the Tuscan Sith come together! You should have a few new heads to choose from for that first custom in just a few days from me. Keep up the great work!

Thanks, guys.

Wheeljack- I dunno. This is my first one and he's not painted yet.  Wookie Balls has a trio of 'em in his post, he'd know more than me.
Sprywalker- Cannot wait!

Love that Borg. That is the first borg custom that I have ever seen.
