Thanks!

Now, where are the rest of these WIP shots?

I posted this over in my Customs thread as well, so here is my contest entry.  This is a clone Aerial Assault Captain, in which I've proudly created.  I added on a jetpack, by using an antenna-base-and-jetpack hookup.  I also painted this, which inspired my Phase 2 Clone Commander, Jenks(A real clone) in my customs section.  Here you guys are!

[UnitedStatesDemocrat]

In the full body shot, I painted the trooper's legs red, as is customary for jet troopers.  The reason in doing so is to protect the troopers legs from both jetpack fire and blasterfire, as the paint is a fire retardant.

Ok, I've finished my entry, VERY early.  I'm not all that thrilled with him, because I just could NOT get the sculpted head right, and the sculpey kept wanting to crack on me.  However, it does have the overall look I was trying to achieve, so here he is...

Pat, your custom is awesome in my book.  It is way better than anything I could ever sculpt!

[Clonehead]

I like your captain, Dan. He looks sharp.

[UnitedStatesDemocrat]

Are you entering a custom, by chance, Clint?  It'd be a perfect opportunity to demostrate more of your skills, lol.

[Clonehead]

Considering that I have just returned from a 5-6 week job away from the house, Dan, I am not sure I have time to do more than get caught up around here by the due date on this one. It would be nice though. What character would you suggest?

[UnitedStatesDemocrat]

Follow your heart...and the guidelines, lol.

[Clonehead]

Well, believe it or not, I am not a big EU fan. I just haven't had time for it, I guess. That's why I was asking.

Oh.  In that case, what about one of these:

[spudafett]

that "fat trooper" for lack of better words would be a perfect match to some of the new iron man figures.  I'm thinking the aquatic armor... 

[Phatty]

Devin, I was thinking the EXACT same thing, and it's almost the Trooper I was going to enter.  I still may make this one yet.

[Clonehead]

Now that is a hek of an idea.

[kreeper2]

HEY I WAS LOOKING AT THIS AND REALIZED THAT FAT ONE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE CUSTOMS I MADE EARLIER!! To bad I dont believe in contest. But that would be a great idead for someone to do.
