DS, sorry Dude, I just caught up with your customs....I LURVE the Sandtroopers they are my cup of Tea (as we say here in England). There simply are not enough Imperial customs and yours really caught my eye.
As for the Astromech, take it outside and take a couple of images without using the flash, I'd love to see some better images as I am interested to see the battle damage in more detail.
