Thanks.  I'm still debating on a couple last finishes on each of these guys but Scorch's helmet had to be done the way I did.

One of my favorite characters is Corran Horn.  I've been wanting to do a custom based on the book "I, Jedi".  Here it is.  I may change the head, if I come across something I like better but this was an excuse to use the new Dremel I bought recently.  What do you all think?

Love it!  Yeah, the Channing Tatum head is not the most desirable out there, but you've made it work extremely well for this rendition of Corran.  Nice work!

On a side note, I loved this novel; read it years ago, but thought it was one of the better books of the EU...mainly because we get a change of pace from the Luke/Leia/Han stories.  Really good read!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks.  Yeah, until something else comes my way, I'll use this head.  Along with this, I enjoyed the X-Wing books.  I just re-read I, Jedi a couple weeks ago for the umpteenth time.  And of course, there're the Republic Commando books...  That's what summer's for.

It's nice to see him with the facial hair.  For some reason Hasbro neglected this and it's nice to see it addressed.

Wow this looks great too. I love that pose with the same from the book cover. Very nice figure too.

This will be on the fp, I would do it today, I am just tired of fighting dial up internet.

Wookielover, thanks.

Darthdaddy, I did buy that pack where he is in a flight suite with Whistler.  The only thing that is consistent is the head sculpt which is based on the comic book where he is still with Cor Sec.  He should have a green flight suite, and Whistler's paint is off.  I was so excited when I found an R2-X2 to use as a Whistler

Tamer, I think I may have a found some new inspirations - novel covers.  Any suggestions?  Also, sorry about the dial up.  We used to deal with it but now we've been having problems with our wireless.  Darn technology!

Ok, I did get this fpd today. It is a great picture. I would love to see more custom figures aligned with book covers like this.

Darien Novaburn's parent were going to send him to military school but he ran away instead.  During one of his sojourns through the back allies of Treasure Ship Row in Coronet City's Blue Sector on Corellia, he witnessed a couple of Mandalorians "pick up" a couple of thieves.  As they put them into their speeder, he approached them and asked if he could join them.  Fifteen years later, he's become a top bounty hunter and merc.  Once, he sent a message home just to say that he's alright.  His mother was happy to hear from him but his father told her, they have no son.

Thanks WB.  The one thing about this pic and  the majority of mine is that the lighting could be a lot better.  You can't really see the 3 colors I used for the armor (brown, orange, and green).

Looks good to me, back on the front page. Very interesting backstory too.
