I'm all for that!  I just wanted to be sure before I said anything about my build.  Since I'm involved in writing a novel-length fan-fic for the month of Nov, I'm gaining a lot of insight into a bunch of my characters...

I hear you, there.  It's great to see them evolve into living, breathing beings.  Anyway, I have update pictures to post.  I completed Major (former Lieutenant) Clank from my book.  I also did a custom of the main character, General Erinos.

I think I'm the first to post their WIP pics, so let me lead the way by presenting Major Clank, of the 500th Reinforcement Ops Corps.  Major Clank was first pushed onto the battlefield as a Lieutenant, battling his way through campaigns as the Defense of Reevus IV, and later fought at the Intergalactic War on Zabrash.  It was here that he witnessed the murder of High Lord and Baron Sethon, who was a leader of one of the most powerful bounty hunters guilds since the Death Watch.  After his service to the Empire was duely recognized, he was promoted to Major, and put in charge of Eagle Squadron (a merging of the 419th Black Ops, and his old legion, the 500th).  The old 500th leaders, Jedi High General Erinos, Commander Flare, Captain Blimey, Acting-Commander Sparky, and Commander Jay of the 419th, were his main target and posted to be shot on sight.  The only clones that hadn't betrayed the Empire, at least the ones he knew, were a rag-tag bunch, two clones known as Eiffe and Moss, one a Sergeant, the other a Colonel.  After many unsuccessful campaigns of tracking down the runaway Jedi, Lord Vader issued his squad to be broken up, and shoved into the 501st.  Without further delay, may I present Major Clank's WIP pics:

Lookin good USD! I love his back story as well, it's almost as if the story adds to the quality of the custom.

My only criticism (and it's nothing to do with the figure) is that you either need to hold your hand steady, or clean the lens of the camera as the image is very blurred. If it's because you are using a phone camera, beg, steal or borrow a digital camera as it will show all of the detail.

My apologies.  Yes, it was the camera phone.  I ensure all my figures are as great as can be before posting them, lol.

so remember to take some clear images of your work everyone!!!

In that case, I went over my figure with the second coat today, and to make sure it really shines, I went to Flickr in order to take care of the "blurriness".  I hope you guys enjoy Major Clank, Part 2!

Here's a link to my fan fiction novel, as well:  http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=4081.0
