Very  nice. I look forward to talking about this on our podcast. On the front page.

DO, if you want to email me (tamer@imperialshipyards.net) your top 30 pictures I can get an ISY CAFN Gallery started for you. I know picking thirty of your top picks won't be easy, but we will definitely add more to it later.

Tamer: why, hell yes!  *ahem*  I mean, "of course".

WB: Thanks!  This was one of my favorite pieces.  I had a blast figuring out what trophies to give 'em.  My USCM squad is up to TEN (human) members and several robot sidekicks.  I am having difficulty getting the armor needed from my supplier that they are taking longer to finish than I'd like.

Roaming the farthest edges of the Outer Rim are The Doctor and The Nurse.  Originally a medical droid and a scavenger-scout droid aboard a Rebel salvage hauler.  The ship dropped out of warp to repair a faulty hyperdrive motivator when it was caught in a freak solar storm.  The organic crew was killed outright and the magnetic radiation shorted out most of the droid crew.  The remaining 2-1B slowly evolved himself into a "biologic pain-threshold manager"...aka a torture droid.  He modified himself to allow his right arm to detach and currently utilizes the following "tools": an industrial-grade plasma torch, a claw "borrowed" from a heavy salvage droid, a carbonite blaster and a sonic welder.  His personality is of an ice-cold, detached serial killer (think Jigsaw from the "Saw" series).  His Nurse began exisitence as a scavenger-scout droid.  Over the years "her" personality morphed into a hyperactive sociopath (think Harley Quinn from the 90's Batman animated).  Gleefully carrying out her Doctor's wishes is the crux of her existence.  The two travel the galaxy in randomly genrated spirals on lightspeed, answering SOS calls to frightening ends.  Once the airlocks fill up with "broken toys" they flush them and start over.  THey have been at their macabre game for well over 200 years, and are the only beings that have a "terminate on site" order that has transcended all governments to rise and fall.




The Doctor:

Carbonite blaster attachment:

The Nurse:




The lighting could be better, and I may take more pics to get the colors to come thru better.

That's probably the single darkest thing I've ever seen inserted into the SW universe.

Awesome, but dark.

Wow man, you are on fire! So many awesome customs! The Predator is so bad ass! You really brought him to life with your paint aps. Then the Doctor and Nurse, such a great idea! I LOVE the Doctor, very dark ad dangerous looking. Like he could be DR. Evaziens assistant. Love the parts and over all look of him. Very well done DO!

Thanks again everybody.  This seems to be the norm for me...a dry spell, the BAM! A ton of work!  Here's more!

Here is the full crew of the Bird of Prey freighter.  The pilot and copilot were created for the last contest.  I alluded to the copilot (Byn Kasz) being really good with droids, so here they are:
From left to right: Byn Kasz (copilot of the Bird Of Prey), FRAN (cheif of security), Beelo (medic and navigator), SAM (mechanic and chef) and Myllo Xyllo (owner and pilot).


FRAN:




Beelo:




SAM:




Organic crew:


Droid crew:


Beelo was actually built by my son, who occassionally posts as Dark Wolf.  He has Battle Droid appendages, a 4-LOM head and body from a Deleted Scene Jedi Research Droid from AOTC.  FRAN is: a concept IG-88 head, body from a Chopper Droid, arms from an Octopurra Droid and thrusters from a GI Joe H.A.L.O. jetpack.  SAM is a vintage R2 dome on a vintage 2-1B body w/ vintage 3PO legs and an arm from the original Droid Factory set.

Beelo is AMAZING!  Can we see some more pics of Beelo in better lighting, please?
