wow
You have created a whole bunch of very interesting SW characters.
Paige Tico looks really cool. A character who would have deserved more sreen time.
Excellent work.

Thanks so much, FF. I think that Paige and Rose could be really developed outside the movies, and I still contend there should have been a surviving StarFortress with Paige at the helm.

Thanks so much! When you say Ulsin, did you mean Uriss (the walrus guy)? If so you didn't miss the info. on this thread, the recipe was included in the contest thread he was part of. The head is a Minimates Battle Beasts Gruntos.

These are some nice female kit-bashes! My favourite of them is Paige Tico, but one can tell that you put even more work into Widlow Kordi, who looks great, too!
And to your previous post: Pale looks so interesting! I really like him as a Jedi! His big ears are so cool!

Third, I love the outdoor pictures of your customs! Please, keep up the great work! Your custroms are always fascinating and inspiring!

Best regards from Germany and have a great weekend!

Thanks so much Philipp! Glad you like the customs. I'm glad you like Paige, I thought she turned out well, and I may have to make Pale part of Widlow's crew:) I'm not a great photographer, so thanks for the nice words about the outdoor pics.
Kind Regards from Washington State

An update and a head-swap:

A couple of images tonight. One is an update of a previously posted "cross-over" - Amada Lorne. I had put him together without a cape and was thinking about making one that replicated the Commander Adama cape that originally came with the figure, but then I tried the General Calrissian cape and thought it worked just fine and connected the figure to the established universe better:



The second is a simple head-swap from the 5POA Praetorian Guard to the Walmart SA Preatorian body. You can't really tell in the picture, but the reds are not precisely the same. The difference isn't enough to bother me (and I don't think I have the patience to try and mix a closer color match), but figured I would share that observation with folks who haven't looked at the two figures together yet. The ball socket is also not sized for a direct switch, so I had to augment the post with a little hot glue to get the helmet to sit where I wanted it. All-in-all a pretty simply fix to get a second SA Praetorian:



That's it from me right now - been really busy - but I have a few figures in the pipeline.

The Calrissian cape looks great on the figure and I like the Praetorian Guard.
Excellent work.

I think that guard looks fantastic. I don't see a problem with the reds at all. Off to share the update.

Nice work Starchaser! I agree with FialaFernbrugg, too! The cape looks great. I'm a huge fan of capes since Lando's appearance in SOLO.

The Praetorian Guard looks great, too! Thank you making us aware of the color difference! I wonder when Hasbro includes them in TVC...until then we make the figures we want ourselves.
Keep up the nice work!

Thanks, Tamer. Yeah, if you look at the two figures side-by-side, their colors are not the same, it doesn't show up in the picture though.

Had a bit of time off and was able to finish a couple of customs for a yakfinities contest:

Realistic version of Hera:


Recipe:
Head = Cesi "Doc" Eirriss figure
Goggles = fodder bin (I think a Panno figure, but I'm not sure)
Torso and arms = Comic Pack Bultar Swan
Flight Harness = white wired ribbon
Legs = Cesi figure
     I cut the leg holster of an Ellorrs Madak figure and glued it
     in place
