Thanks Phillip. I don't know if Mudtroopers are necessary, but regular Imperial Army Troopers on the same template - like we see in the Andor trailer - would be great!

Just for fun for tonight, I was working in the yard before the Autumn rains set in here and thought I would snap a picture:

Nice, guess Autumn is finally here. My favorite time of year.

Off to the front pages with this.

From this:


to this:


Just a color change, but we have Shom Kadozo an Ithorian living on Chandrila. A gifted botanist in keeping with his species' traditions, he owns and operates a boutique nursery. He specializes in smaller "house" plants that are known to have healing properties which emanate from the plants themselves, or can be derived from distilling part of the plant. Natural healers often come to Shom both for his product and his knowledge.

Three more for tonight.
Recipe brazenly stolen from JDeck ;):
Langust Ecreviss - Nephran undercover security agent. It was hard for Langust to find work with claw hands and difficulty speaking Basic, but he found beings slightly put-off or intimidated by his appearance. He began to work security and was hired as private security by the Bank of the Core, a job at which he excels. His current assignment is to keep watch over Brecca Jh'amp (see on next page).


Sati Drenit - an adventurous Arcona in her younger years, Sati traveled widely and explored the galaxy. In her travels she kept extensive notes and mapped both the star lanes she traversed and the planets she visited. Now in her later years, she owns a cartography shop but actually spends most of her time running a recovery program for salt addicts among her own species and other beings fighting addictions.



Recipe:
Head = CW El-Les
Torso/Vest = Rey (Island Journey)
Arms = Harry Potter Cho
Hands = Boss Fight Mini-kit vampire
Legs = Wioslea
Skirt = Johnston concept Snowtrooper

And...Keveeri Bassill - a Tholothian model and stuntwoman for holovids. Sometimes, she just needs to get away from the camera and will "dress down" and slip away somewhere to just "be normal." She likes to get away from show business by taking expeditions to places to climb, hike and camp where people are few and far between.



Recipe:
Head = Stass Allie (maybe from JDeck, if not from my wife picking up "fodder" at a local thriftstore)
Torso/arms = Marauder female
Vest = Boss Fight Zombie survivor jacket
Legs = Ahsoka Corvus

Thanks Shawn, I've seen several people use the Boss Fight Studios Crustacean mini-kit to build Nephran characters like Therm Scissorpunch without trying to sculpt them from scratch. It works pretty well. This particular design JDeck used for a character Brackeesh Na-Buzaru. I liked it, so I created my own.

Thanks Philipp. Yeah, I have benefitted from the designs of several other customizers over the years. As we sometimes say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of compliment."

Very true. Took me a couple years at middle school to accept that while I almost lost a good friend over that. I'm glad I got over that and we're still buddies today. I'm also thankful for all the inspiration on here. Working together is what get us the farest, right? I got so many ideas left to realize on my list. Just need to start working on them and get them done right away I guess. lol
One thing I like about your projects the most is all the variety you bring to your universe. And the outdoor pictures in your beautiful backyard of course.  :D

Truth is, Philipp, I get bored with doing troopers  and humans. Part of what I have always loved about Star Wars is the range of possible species to interact with. I'm really disappointed that Hasbro is so "alien averse" - much like the Empire ;) - because there is a lot of fun variety out there. So...well...I've got to make my own.

I have always thought that the B.A.D. concept should be applied to other characters in the SW Line Up, especially aliens. Wouldn't it be great to get a few kits where you could put pieces together to build different aliens.

Yes Shawn! That would have been a great strategy. They're doing it with Marvel Legends, they could totally have done this with TVC
