Thanks Guys!

I'm not sick, but one of the teenagers has (mild symptoms) Covid, so now we're on full-quarantine-lockdown. Pretty bummed about it 'cause I'm missing the annual Veteran's Day mountain bike trip with Army buddies from Iraq days.
Good news though; I'm knocking out some custom work; more posts coming in the next few days.

Found this head, arms, and hands at Vitruvianarmory.com awhile back and finally made a quick kitbash Jabba guard.

I really like how that turned out - great use of the "Animal Warriors of the Kingdom" Pale parts too - fits right into Jabba's retinue.

Hey, sorry to hear that! Hope your son gets better again soon without any further complications for all of you. Staying home is something I really enjoy though as long as I got my collection and the Shipyards around! lol

Followed your massive Ewok party on Instagram the other day. Guess there's much quarantine content coming then? ;)
Your Jabba's Guard looks different, but I still like him although he strongly reminds me of the first Harry Potter movie troll.
Thanks for sharing the source as well! Gute Besserung from Germany!

First off, glad the Covid thing isn't too bad. Thinking of you guys handling that, just got back a negative test myself after my wife's mom was found to have it.

Two, thank you for your service. Sorry to hear you can't go on your bike trip, but there will be next year.

Great custom. That is now on the front pages.

So far not the worst symptoms, and not everyone has it. Still hoping for the best. Thanks for the well wishes.

Darth More, the Ewoks at Instagram have all been posted previously in this thread. Working my way through new pics of older customs at Insta. Was only planning to drop new customs in this thread.

Tamer, yeah, next year. Pretty bummed this morning though.

New custom in 2 minutes...

Droid upgrade! Some dirty wash, some drybrush highlights, and some new accessories.
I drilled into the bottom of a couple cups to make them fit the carrier drink posts, and added some paint to add drink colors, and painted the drink tray.

Great looking Astromech.  The detail is fantastic.  Your henchmen are always cool too.

Another Kitbash fanfic Jabba henchman (or maybe Hondo Ohnaka pirate associate).
I cut the hat off skiff guard Klaatu, and used tiny magnets to keep it on this guy's head.
