Love the Aqualish Jedi....never seen one done of that species before and i have to say it looks great! 

Nice touch on the hair streak/highlights (JK!) in the Bothan!

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

Thank you all for your comments.  I really enjoyed creating the Vurk family line.  I had the parts and had the idea rolling around for quite a while.  As for the Aqualish, he's the first of a bunch of customs based on older action figures sitting around in the fodder drawers.  I have a new Dremel that will see a lot of action I think.  Anyway, I have a few more that I've been hoping to post for some time now.  I'll get those out this week or next weekend.  They're like the Bothan I just posted, customs that needed way more tweeking.

Here're some updates:

Wolf Sazen was a Jedi of the Legacy Era.  He was Kol Skywalker's Padawan and later Cade Skywalker's Master.  He lost his right arm to Darth Nihl

Roqseilla "Roqi" Solarwind was a freighter pilot.  She was very lucky at many things; gambling, routes, avoiding pirates, winning bids, etc.  She was approached by some Rebel Alliance agents about some "special" forces recruitment but turned it down.  Although staying neutral throughout the Civil War, it was afterward that one of those agents, Luke Skywalker, revealed to her that she was a Force-sensitive.  She still said no, referring the safe occupation of cargo hauling.

The men of Drak Squad had their own code of honor and took jobs that didn't bend their rules, mostly.  Just after the Vong invasion, they did help planets during the recovery period in different capacities; security, search and rescue, transportation escort, etc.

Darth Abysmus began as an acolyte of the Sith during the Mandalorian Wars.  He moved up the ranks to Master.  He stayed in mostly unnoticed, until after the war,  by the majority of Sith Masters and Lords until he had amassed a large following of acolytes, apprentices, and other minor Sith.  Together they overthrew the Sith and took on the reigns of leadership.

I really like that Takla Bhu.  All the parts and paint seem to work so well on it. Good stuff.

Thanks.  I just have to remember, not everyone in the SW universe has to be a Force-user, Mando, Soldier, Pilot, etc.
