Re: Customs by the Sith's Herald - 1/13/14 Update - Scum & Villainy!

Thanks again guys!!  I just returned from visiting the mouse in Florida with my wife.  It was a great trip, but we returned to a MN overnight low of -25°...

So, I'm back in my room where it's nice and warm, and I'm surrounded by Star Wars.  I'm eager to start posting some of my new pieces, so without further ado, here is the final installation of older customs.  Bring on the Mandalorians!!

I was really inspired by the way Traviss portrayed this culture in the Republic Commando series. I have a few of the main characters, and a bunch of my own.

Here is Kal Skirata





and Walon Vau




The rest are characters of my own design

Bave Radine follows the tradition of wearing a piece of armor from departed family members.  He's lost a lot of family.



Ter Jesso is extremely cocky - to the point that he painted his armor bright orange as a taunt to the enemy.



Many races and cultures built their droids in their image.  This is what happens when Mandos build a droid. M-ND0




Here's couple of battle hardened Mando Women.  First is Mercy Nerrie.



and Starque Iller



You can see from the last two, i sometimes like to make pun names.  This one was mostly a Zartan figure.  His name is Nat Raz.



Edged weapons master Bolar Krent proudly wears a set of ancient armor he's restored.




On the other end of the scale, Braydon Hoole wears cutting edge advance Mando armor. I've since replaced the shin armor with something much better, but didn't have a photo handy.



Infantryman Daven LeFora prefers up-close work in the trneches to flitting around with a jetpack.



Don't mess with Crix Venger. 'nuff said.



MacDorn is a gentleman mercenary. I imagine a skilled Sean Connery-esqe character under the bucket.



Syn Ister is a Deathwatch Commando.




Specter works alone and remains a mystery to most.



These last two are some of my first Mando customs, utilizing old POTF Fetts, but they remain a couple of my favorites.

Mart Ironworth is a Mandalorian Warrior-Blacksmith.  His armor is a mixture of cast-iron and chrome.




Finally; Malin was a clone pilot in the 212th.  He still incorporates the colors of that battalion into his armor.




Thanks and enjoy!

Totally agree.
You should include close ups of all those hand painted emblems and tatoos.  Fine work.

Thanks again for the kind words.  I'll get some photos of the emblems on the Mandos poster here soon.

Now that I'm through my older pieces, here is my first new one.  He debuted a few days ago on Facebook.

This was part of a request from a good friend of mine.  He owns a Huskie.  He is very close to his dog and requested a Shistavanen Jedi Master that resembled him.  




This was really a fun piece to paint.  It was basically a kit bash of Qui-Gon and Voolfif Monn.

Thanks again guys!.

The next piece in the request I made for my friend was an apprentice for the Huskie Shistavanen Jedi.  He asked me to make him an Antarien Ranger / Padawan that resembles him.

This was a pretty simple kit bash of an Obi-Wan head, Snake-Eyes body and some misc. pieces.



Thanks for your feedback!
