Wow - that Ithorian turned out really great (good back story as well). I like the droid side-kick as well.

Don't get me wrong here. I like your droid, but that Ithorian is hands down fantastic. So cool. Looks freaking tough.

Thank you Starchaser! I was thinking today that I could  definitely use an inventory Droid sidekick. One that speaks Arabic, Spanish, Korean and Japanese. That would be nice.

Thank you Tamer. The Droid took more time to make in reality, with all the paint aps. The Ithorian is just a no paint kitbash using Acid Rain Space prisoner. It's an awesome figure. I was going to paint it however they put an oil wash on it, which looks great but impossible to paint over. I was just going to paint it a darker brown, but the orange is just as well.

Super nice paint on the droid. The dirty orange on the ithorian looks fine to me. That is a cool figure

I zoomed in on the droid, you are right just great paint work.

That Ithorian is still awesome looking though. The paint on him is fine.

Kudos JD! The suit of Eskar-Goh looks brutally awesome! So does the metal look of AP-1D. Man, can't stop looking at both of them. Your containers look really nice, too! Great theme chosen you have! More citizens we need!

Thank you. Yeah Acid Rain makes some great figures. The space prisoner accommodates the Ithorian neck really well.

Thank you. Yeah I was hoping to do like a snail shell exosuit, but the acid rain weathering is really great so it worked out.

Thank you DM! Ithorian are my favorite aliens and I wanted a space man Ithorian. With the droid I wanted to give him an insect look. Like a snail with an Aphid sidekick. I think one day I want to make a space station, so I'll need a lot of shipping containers.

Here is another Galgrebian citizen. Fleezum N. Cheatem was a Ranat junk dealer on Galgrebaa during the Imperial Era. His junk business was mostly just a front for his more lucrative Black Market. He would buy and sell anything, Spice, weapons, stolen goods, speeders ships, whatever anyone would ever want. The Rebels had little choice than to deal with Fleezum, and the Empire looked the other way because Fleezum would give them valuable information, but not too much information, just enough to get himself out of trouble.

Wow, looks great. I so think we just need wave after wave of figures like this to fill out our cantinas and Sail Barges, etc.

I love that name :) Good use of the Elis Helrot body with the Boss Fight head. The paint job on his head is excellent. Great backstory! You need to build one of his suppliers now.

Thank you! I know, now that I'm making citizens it would be great if we got some more blink and miss background characters. I'd love to get some solo sabacc players.

Hell yes! Love the rat!
Thank you! I can see why you like these boss fight kits, they're pretty awesome!
Haha that's a cheesy one! I love it!
Haha thanks DM! I was looking for a different boss flight figure but found this and had to get it. I didn't think I'd use the cheese wedge it came with but once I painted it, I had to use it.

Thank you! The name comes from the Three Stooges. I think there was an investigator named I fleecem and the law offices of Dewey Cheatem and Howe. Actually I am going to make his Spice supplier a minor local  subsidiary of Quay Tolsite and the Pyke Syndicate, of course in his own mind he's a major league gangster.

The vitruvian hacks rodent kit came with two heads and a set of paws, so I'm going to utilize them. The second head looks a lot like a Bothan, but of course there is no real canonical pictures of what they look like. But here is my take.

   During the early years of the Empire, Mon Mothma sent a number of Bothan spies to Galgrebaa, in order to find out what the Empire was transporting through the planet ports. Galgrebaa was at the crossroads of Imperial transportation and logistics, most of the bulk items shipped by the Empire made a stop on Galgrebaa at some point. The Bothans were instructed to investigate a large shipment of Kyber crystals originating from Jedha.
