Awesome!  That's the best looking WIP!  Can't wait to see the finished product.  Is it ok to ask for the recipe?

I appreciate everyone taking a look; no problem on the recipe.  Here's what I used:

head = Starkiller (TFU 5-pk TRU exclusive)
collar = Starkiller (TFU 5-pk Bounty Hunter version); modded from plastic cloak on his Mando suit
torso = TLC Hrchek Kal-Fas (collar was shaved down a bit & straightened in the back; straps on front & back of jacket = pieces cut from Indiana Jones bag strap; also shaved the ends of the straps down so they fit flush against the jacket)
right bicep = TLC Boba Fett
left bicep = TVC Bom Vimdin
forearms = TLC Hrchek Kal Fas
gloved hands = TAC Han Solo (MF pilot)
waist belt = TAC Boba Fett (animated version)
waist cloth (heavily modded) = Felucian (TFU 5-pk)
upper legs = ??
thigh straps = TLC Nikto Gunner
lower legs = TLC Obi-Wan Kenobi (AotC version) --- shaved the front pant ruffles around the knee caps down
feet = TLC Cade Skywalker (comic pack)

I appreciate everyone taking a look!  I'm a bit busy at work right now, but hope to begin painting this guy sometime very soon.  (And fixing that 3rd strap to the jacket...)

Man, this is awesome.
I'll have to show it to my son tomorrow since he's the Starkiller fan around here.
He'll go crazy over this figure.

I totally get where you're coming from JM; the only reason I went this route is because I picked up multiples of the figs I used.  It happened to work out, but it did take an exceptionally long time to find the exact parts I wanted/needed to do this guy.

Thanks for checking this guy out!

starkiller is one of my favorite new characters,and hasbro haven't seemed to get him right yet so making that sacrifice of breaing down those figures might be worth it,and your concept is awesome.I think it was stronox who did an amazing one with the bandages.I wish I had the link,but i'm sure you know who,and what i'm talking about.when you do finish him,i'm sure he'll look awesome.

Yep, I know of Stronox...I make sure to visit his blog is regularly!  (It's good for the soul!)

Here's a couple of links to some of his Starkiller customs:

Sometime next week I hope to begin the paint process on my fig, so stay tuned for updates!
