Damn nice figure! I knew you were going to super-articulate this guy.
Did the skirt fit over the lower body without modifications?

no, as with most SW figure's belts now-a-days the skirt has a lip on the inside to fit around a groove set into the figure's waist between the hips and the torso's swivel joint.  This had to be trimmed down to almost nothing to allow the skirt to slip over the joe's torso and fit into place.  SOME joe figures have a groove set into the waist in the same manner but usually this is rare, so trimming the star wars figure's belts is usulaly what has to be done.

Like I said on the front page, I hate it when you give your treatment to Battle of Hoth figures because now I want about a dozen! He looks great. That Transdoshan looks killer too.

Devin, that trandoshan fig turned out just awesome, dude. I love the shot with the goggles up on his forehead. Utterly beautiful, my man! Nice job on the sa atat commander as well. That whole squad just rocks.

thanks clint! 
The trandoshan needs some work still. I'm trying to figure out something better for his wrist blade so that it doesn't look like it's just a big growth... and I want to give a little splash of color to his chest/back instead of leaving it the gold.  It's too close to the color of his skin.

as for the at-at driver, this was realy just a proof of concept for me.  I realy didnt take the time to paint him as good as he should have been.  I need to go back and do ALOT of touch ups!

Spud you are bangin' them out again! The Trandoshan is freakin' bad ass man! Great parts use and can't wait to see him when you mod the paint a bit more. The SA ATAT Commander is perfect! Not much else to say...

They're all nice, and I do love that Transdoshan.  However, if I may offer a suggestion....perhaps repaint the torso and arms to match closer?  They kinda stand out as they are now, at least to me.

the torso is not supposed to match his skin color...  I'll be repainting it so that they stand apart more, actually.  I'll probably use a dark grey or gunmetal with a gold wash to bring out the details.
