Are you planning on calling her Ti or Ahsoka? I have to admit I really like seeing the Jedis in Clone Armor.

I'm planning on her being Ahsoka as an adult, and she is running with the 113th Batallion HK-SO (Hello Kitty-Special Ops) Force. Obviously, it non-cannon ;D I think they should show more of the Jedis in Clone armor, it would be cool!!!

Well that's awesome and it makes my day ;D I'm glad to hear your feedback and thank you!!!
very very nice! Jenn welcome to the customizing community ,before you know it you'll be gripped by an unerring urge to "butcher" Star Wars figures...

All of the open figures saw me doing this and began to shudder in fear...Lol, since my maiden name means "butcher," and I refuse to kill animals!!! I can't even say what it means to hear such an awesome comment from an excellent customizer ;D
Thank you again ghost :D
@spudafett: I have this image that all Togruta Females look the same when they become adults. Her forehead markings remind me of bindi's like in the Hindu culture, and they have different bindi's for different stages of life, much like the Hindu culture. So for Ashoka and Shakti to have the same head and facial markings makes sense to me :D But that's just my little version!
So Jenn - any thoughts on your *next* custom project?
Thank you so much guys!!! Sorry, I haven't gotten back sooner, but I have an extra large workload this week and now we're trying to get the show together ;D
I definately plan on doing more customs, might start with a Clone for the HK-SO :D The Team needs more men!!!
@Mando: Customizing is like eating potato chips...you can't make just one ;D
Nice job Wookielover!
I've got to show this one to my daughter, she loves Hello Kitty and she'll think it cool because it's on a Star Wars figure!
Thanks ghost :D
I am using the same paints Doc, I'll have to play around with them some more ;D
I understand how you feel Spud, sometimes I feel intimidated to comment on others customs as well cause I'm a newb :) Plus, I don't want to hurt anyones feelings!
You shouldn't feel that way here, everyone is very welcome to noobs (as you've already noticed I'm sure). Just because your a "noob" doesn't mean you can't post in older established threads! In fact, the more you look at other people's work, and read up on their techniques and ask questions the quicker you'll loose that "noob" feeling!
Thanks Jay!!! You'll be happy to hear I just picked up a CW R2 from Wally World. Going to try to add an Astromech to my belt ;D
Heh - 100% agreed. A trick/technique I use when I want to critique someone's work where I feel intimidated (for example, if I'm looking at a Hemble dio! ;D ) is to ask about it sideways. Let's say as an example Hemble has built a gorgeous rubbled wall and then weathered it - but I think his weathering is ... off. I may start out by asking how he got those results - "Hemble, those figs are awesome! How did you get that weathering result on your wall?" So when he responds with his techniques and colors, I may respond with something like "I've never used that approach before. What effect were you setting out to achieve that led to those choices?" And then he'll give up an answer and may even ask me something like "Well, what approach do *you* normally use?" So then we'll get into a discussion of techniques and I will offer up what *I* have tried or might would try to achieve the results he has stated he was going for. Then he'll explain why he rejected that approach or - maybe - say, "Wow, I've never tried that before. Does it give good results? I'll have to try that." Heck, for that matter he may say, "Yeah, it's a long way from being right. I was distracted because four cats had the flu and one had pneumonia while I was weathering it, so it turned out looking like poodu." ;D
That way, I can offer my critique as a noob without feeling judgemental (or something) and don't come across as a pushy snot-head.
Of course, if someone throws a piece out there and says, "Crud. I need help - any suggestions?" then I'll likely start off in a similar manner - "What were you trying to achieve?" With the response in hand, I'll ask, "What did you do to get the current results?" Based on that response, I'll start making suggestions based on what I have done or maybe point them to a good tutorial. That way, I try to avoid coming across as a crusty ol' curmudgeon who knows all there is to know!
And that's really the pervading attitude of the 'Yards - which is why all my time is *here* rather than at other sites. We're all in this together and are all trying to get better - and we're trying to help each other improve. :thumbsup:
Jenn considering this is your first astro ,you are doing stupendously well ! i look forward to seeing the finished figure,
as LE said astromechs are considered to be amongst the hardest figures to paint!
@Tamer: I didn't know you like HK so much ;) Don't worry she'll go on at the end ;D
Nice droid. Looking forward to listening to you and Jay on CAFN tonight.
Yeah I sprayed him with primer and then glossy black, but when he was drying...since it's been blooming and windy in Florida some pollen stuck in the paint :P I even tried sanding, so instead of junking the poor guy I decided to make him honorable :) After all he is a special-ops astro and he spends most of his time in the field, some might say it's camo, lol ;D You'll learn his story soon enough eager Jedi!
For the guys that joked...watch out!!! For the boys who were supportive, you have a new allie ;) This Ashoka, is not to be taken lightly. She's very deceiving and inviting with her pink stripes and Hello Kitty insignia. Don't be fooled, like a black widow she draws you in and takes you out!!! Enjoy ;D
P.S. I don't want to forget that her High Impact Sniper Rifle was made by KesselRunImports ;)
