I sold my custom chefs recently, but then I started thinking I still want one. All these parts came out of the on-hand parts bin.
I may have gone a little overboard with the dirty wash? Eh, he looks good with the rest of the barge crew.







Here's how he looked before paint and new hands.


And here's how he looks with the rest of the barge crew.

I love how grungy he looks. Nice work. Man, your camera is nice. The detail in your pictures is nice!

I got a new phone! It's the Samsung S20÷. That's a major camera upgrade from my last phone. I don't even understand all the setting on this camera. ;)

I've got the same one - you can take incredibly well done photos with the right lighting.

I'm with Tamer, in Jabba's skiff grungy works (no Health District inspections for Jabba). I really like how this cook turned out. I think he is worthy of your crew. Great group shop, too.

I agree with previous comments. You must be proud of all your brilliant customs - especially for your Khetanna. You created so many great looking goons of Jabba. The latest cook looks exceptionally good! And Starchaser made a good point, too: It's a miracle that Jabba didn't die earlier from intoxication by his food.

This is definitely the kind of cook you would expect to see in Jabba's places.

Thanks guys! It means a lot.

My wife's been out of town for work for a week, and has a week to go. Meanwhile, I've spent some time on customs!

Here's a simple one. I bought an extra Han Stormtrooper (TVC) because I wanted the new head for an ANH Han-in-vest figure. I stuck a random head on the Trooper, and dropped it in with the other troopers.

How did I not think of this sooner!? I've got like 5 Skiff Lando heads in the bin, this is so obvious!
And the helmet fits great.

And here's a BIG one!

What do you do when older Troopers' plastic armor starts to yellow? New paint!

Very subtle but very good weathering on those troopers!

Wow, the weathering on these is just awesome! Nice work.

That Lando is great too.

The chef figure is awesome (and looks great next to your custom Barge crew), but I'm staying away from the chili!

Brilliant fix! That platoon looks appropriately dirty and gritty. Excellent work.

Don, this is straight awesome! I think I have to repaint some of my yellowed troops as well as soon as it returns. I shared a little tutorial on this topic here, too.

The weathering and color of their armor looks most realistic - a perfect deployment on Tatooine!
