Phatty – Thank you, I appreciate the comment.  I was pleased w/ the way Morax turned out since I had no preconceived notion of what paint scheme I was going for…

Sprywalker – Thank for commenting—it is appreciated.

Spudafett – I think the bounty hunter uses parts from seven or eight figures—only one of them Star Wars.  The GI Joe: ROC figures are great for parts.  The hip articulation is a nice feature that I wish Hasbro could add to their Star Wars line (we will see what the future holds)
You are right about the torso used for the Rodian.  It is nicely done but I thought it was a little small.  I struggled to find a use for it.  It seems that I don’t have much need for a shirtless guy in my corner of the Star Wars universe.   Ultimately, I painted it green to use on this Rodian.  Those Indy IV figures were great…too bad the TOD wave was so scarce.  There were a lot of nice figures in that wave.

Sten Hunter – Thank you!
hangarbay94 – Thanks, as well.  I have close to fifteen figures waiting for paint right now.  It takes me awhile to crank them out.  I appreciate the compliments because it encourages me to take my time.  My wife says I look like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs when I’ve got my headgear (magnifying lenses) on—of course the kimono helps too.   :)  “It puts the custom in the basket”

lambonspit –thanks for the words of welcome and praise.  I loved making the Padawan.  I was inspired by the female character from the young Obi-Wan book series and of course Etain from the Republic Commando novels.
110clones – Thank you.

Awesome. I especially like the custom Jedi. What is the recipe?

Hi.  Thx for the comments.  I didn't include recipes or details in my original post.  I was being lazy I guess...  The head for the Imperial is from Tri-Gate/Slayer.  I think the female head is also from those fine folks.  There is a chance that it is from Broken Arrow Toys.  The older gents is a repaint of a WWII figure (Twentieth Century Toys?)  The second Bespin guard is a repaint of the POTF2 guard from Hasbro.  I just dremmeled it out....

The Jedi is mostly Obi-Wan Kenobi with a young Indiana Jones head.  I did replace the legs and pelvis with a Twenty fifth anniversary Storm Shadow, cut down Obi-Wan's boots and added some fixit to fill the gaps.

This was a pretty easy batch - mostly head swaps and paint.

Thx.
