SOTA put out some neat figs.  It's very cool to see you updating them.  How's about an original SOTA fig, like Big Gizz the biker gang leader from the SOTA comics?  You could totally do that, right?  Yes, I think so!

Also, the Centurions look amazing.  Good work with the Blanx figs.

Hey DO glad you like the group shot - have you got a reference pic of Big Gizz?

KRZ - I hated that rocket thing! Have a look for some small GI Joe backpacks - they make great saddle bags, an then use putty to make a pillion seat!



Did you ever finish your Luke as an Coruscant Guard?

Still working on this guy - at the moment he kind of has a Robocop vibe going on :)



And on his ride...





Hopefully have him done in the next day or so - I think his armour needs some colour to break it up!

WB Out!!

Ps Thanks yet again Tamer!

I really hope Hasbro redoes their entire SOTE line at some point. They'd do well to borrow your designs here! Can't wait to see this finished!

Great job. I am actually listening to the SOTE audio book again. I thought this was such a cool story. Wish they would do a movie in the CW style animation.

@ Mungo - that would be such a great movie - I'd pay to see that at the cinema!!

@ YakFace - thanks mate, I've still got a few SOTE figs to try my hand at!

@ Botwt - thanks as always matey!

@ Art - cheers! Photographing them is half the fun!

On which note I've finished the paint job on the Swoop Bandit and tweaked the bike so here is the completed custom. Thanks as always for stopping by and leaving comments!! :)

Wow, my comments on these are on the front page.

I just shake my head in wonder at why Hasbro won't do some of this too. I am gonna have to go find my SOTE Novel and read it again. What a cool little diorama you could make in a bookcase around this book. I like it.
