The head is from a fig named Basso (I think he was in a stormtrooper body from a comic pack a few years ago; came with a neimodian in stormtrooper armor as well). Thanks for the comments!
Doc, the arms I used for Juno are actually from the recent Han Solo (Yavin Ceremony). They ran so thin, they are pretty much one of the few SW fig options for female arms out there...unless you want to go GIJoe.
Joe, I agree with you: the only thing that I don't like is the man hands...they look freakishly big for her. But until I can find something even close to sleeves like this, she'll have to go to the George Costanza School for Hand Models. ;)
the sniper figure looks great JM
I guess you used parts from a Scuba Trooper, RC, AT-TE Tank Gunner, EVO Trooper and Airborne Trooper
a good mix and the result is fantastic
Man, that sniper figure turned out great. I like your clone with no name figure as well.
How about a recipe for that sniper fig?
that sniper kicks ass!!!!! great job ;D ;D
Nice job, may I ask what part you used?
Cool! He looks kinda like the guy on Mungo Boabob's banner.
Great choice of parts and execution of the figure.
Great looking figure! I like the chest armor.
Awesome custom merc!
I like this guy. He looks like a rough and tumble sort.great figure nice job man ;D
I like it too, on the front page.
What's the recipe for that merc? He looks like a great "background" guy!
very nice figure and outfit.
has he vulcanic ears? that would be cool ;)
Jedi Merc I like these types of characters, on the front page.
Great looking NPKB!
Spotted this really cool Clone Sniper a few pages back, he went and got himself Kessel'd.(http://www.ciurla.com/kesselrunreview/images/ISYcard_20_Sniper.jpg)
You got Kesseled!
Congrats my friend!!
Love that clone too, by the way!
That is an awesome clone. Would you mind sharing the parts list?
Very cool! what did you use to make him?
I haven't been able to get my computer out of storage until after we move, but found some pics of older customs I had in an e-mail account that I hadn't posted here.
Here's my take on a former Jedi (post-Order 66) working the lower levels of Coruscant, Jax Pavan from the Coruscant Nights series. I kept his look really simple, as I was just getting started in customizing at the time. This was also one of my stabs at customizing new weapons, as his blaster is cobbled together from a few different pieces. I'll probably go back to re-do him at some point:

Is that possibly an adult version of Lorn Pavan's son mentioned in the "Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter" novel?
Cool and the Gang.
I need to get me this Coruscant Nights series.
I like this Jedi a good bit. Glad to hear you are back to the custom building! Oh yes, this is on the front page.
Another super cool custom action figure!! Great job as always :)
I agree, great work JM!
wooooooa A M A Z I N G ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D great one my friend DH DH
Cool figure!
You could use a Mando helmet on him OR you may want to put a Mando helmet faceplate into a Veers helmet and add a rangefinder.
Oh that's nice - I really like characters over clones...
Where did you get the lower legs from? He has a great authentic Star Wars feel to him :)
That is a great looking custom! I vote for the first look with the mask. He looks more "real" to me that way. The Ki Adi cloak seems to take away from your work weathering his armor with that bandolier in the front. I really like this guy, well done!
Wow, very cool! I like's Shawn's mention of Clint and/or Jay making a helmet for this guy...
woooah! this looks great can't wait to see this get done. are all the parts kitbashed? if so then you my friend know your parts. this just one awesome custom.
he is definitely looking awesome.i can identify some of the parts you used so far,but where is the torso from?can you give out the recipe for this guy by any chance?
Awesome! That's the best looking WIP! Can't wait to see the finished product. Is it ok to ask for the recipe?

I appreciate everyone taking a look; no problem on the recipe. Here's what I used:
head = Starkiller (TFU 5-pk TRU exclusive)
collar = Starkiller (TFU 5-pk Bounty Hunter version); modded from plastic cloak on his Mando suit
torso = TLC Hrchek Kal-Fas (collar was shaved down a bit & straightened in the back; straps on front & back of jacket = pieces cut from Indiana Jones bag strap; also shaved the ends of the straps down so they fit flush against the jacket)
right bicep = TLC Boba Fett
left bicep = TLC Nikto Gunner
forearms = TLC Hrchek Kal Fas
gloved hands = TAC Han Solo (MF pilot)
waist belt = TAC Boba Fett (animated version)
waist cloth (heavily modded) = Felucian (TFU 5-pk)
upper legs = ??
thigh straps = TLC Nikto Gunner
lower legs = TLC Obi-Wan Kenobi (AotC version)
feet = TLC Cade Skywalker (comic pack)
the upper legs are from the original starkiller from the evolutions boxed set i believe.thanx for the rest of the recipe,i have the parts,but i'm not sure i wanna dismantle 4 or 5 figures for one awesome starkiller :-\ .though,it would leave me with a ton of fodder afterwords.wish i had spares :( .
starkiller is one of my favorite new characters,and hasbro haven't seemed to get him right yet so making that sacrifice of breaing down those figures might be worth it,and your concept is awesome.I think it was Stronox who did an amazing one with the bandages.I wish I had the link,but i'm sure you know who,and what i'm talking about.when you do finish him,i'm sure he'll look awesome.
Yes! Wonderful cohesion you have in this piece! I love a custom where all its parts and greeblies look like they a) all belong together and b) fit the theme! Bravo!couldn't agree more :)
I have to agree with Spry, this might be your best one to date.
JM, why I've not paid more attention to your work before I do not know, but this latest figure has certainly caught my eye.
All I can say is that I want one, and I have a serious case of Custom Figure Envy as it's one of my favorite customs of the year so far. I love the collection of parts, the whole thing just works really well.
Very inspiring indeed.
Not sure, the version that is in our high rez gallery doesn't look like this version. It would be nice if true though.
That's one solid Starkiller, Jedimerc. Great work from head to toe 8)
That Galen Marek is excelletn!
Amazing link!!! how do get a hold of those DARTH PLAGUEIS sculpts?
Amazing link!!! how do get a hold of those DARTH PLAGUEIS sculpts?
He sculpted all of hem himself...he wants to unload them, but won't sell them individually. He's got the entire set up priced at....$9,000! I know: out of most of our price ranges. We can still admire them from afar...
$9,000? I could by my own ship for that! And I'll fly it myself :)
Awesome! Luke's armor looks familiar but I can't place it. Please enlighten me.
I knew the chest armor but the rest of the body, I'm not sure.
Well done a much better version of cade then the regular figure from Hasbro. cant wait to see more. Btw i did go back a few pages and saw the link from that guy that wants $9000 for the head sculpt.s While they are stunning especially the Arliel schous . it is way too much and i read quite a few posts from several admirer's He got blasted For his price lol.... Anyway keep up the great work All the best Art
This is BEYOND AWESOME~!
I love this whole idea!!

Can you tell me what parts you used?
Those Lukes looke awesome!
Not sure if my custom was any inspiration, but I did a Ceremonial Luke almost identical to yours back in July.
(http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/500/medium/Slide540.JPG)
I trimmed the bottom of the boots down to make him the same height as Bespin & Jedi Luke, and added the feet from a Baron Fel officer figure so he didn't have those tiny little feet.

I love the Han Solo!
I want to say, the body is from Concept Luke Skywalker, the arms and jacket are from Legacy Biggs Darklighter?
Those are fantastic !!! I too would like to know the parts list for the new republic Han that is a well done figure .
I am digging this concept. I love the parts. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I really like this one. The update is on the front page.
I had mentioned in the contest thread that I liked this one but looking at it again, I am getting excited to see him pained up.
Sweet update! I agree that those leg wrappings take the cake.
Excellent looking figure. I really like how you sculpted the lower leg wrappings. Very nice detail.
That sculpt work on those legs and pants are far as the scarf work is just spot on. Looks like soft goods!
Love that EP VII character and your work on Starkiller is quite impressive. Keep it up!
Man, 2 great looking figures. I am loving your sculpt work. I know what you mean about resculpting things. The more you do it the more you learn and you will get better each time. Great stuff man!
Brilliant design and execution on this one! Read more of what I thought in the contest thread, truly awesome!
This is one cool Jedi. One of the best I have seen in awhile and not just for the construction which looks awesome, but also the thought of what a Jedi could really look like outside of the norm we have all grown to just accept. Lots of good thought on this one. Back on the front page.
First off, please allow me to apologize for not replying earlier.
After going through your thread, I must say, Bravo, sir. Bravo. Stunning work. So many great customs, and I can certainly see you are improving with each piece.
I love what you've been sculpting as well. Gorgeous work!
Barry
That competition entry looks amazing. Great work :).
This Jedi is like a blend of the OT and Ralph McQuarrie's conceptual art. I think that combination would please a lot of people. This is a very nice piece.
The part combo and sculpting are just great - I really like this Jedi. I'm also a fan of the accessory that you went with - I could actually see Hasbro doing something similar.
Was finally able to finish up my entry for the ISY-Yakface EpVII character contest! I previously posted this guy as a WIP, but he's all painted up and complete now.
FYI: I went with a weapon other than a lightsaber just because I think it would be more realistic that not every jedi in the upcoming ST would have one (i.e. maybe the Empire had confiscated Ilum's supplies, destroyed all natural crystals...or something like that ;)).
Anyway, here's Harn Vandeth, Jedi Master (NJO):
