Looks great!

Thank You.  This was a very simple, minimal custom.  Make's it one of my current favorites for that alone.

Great looking figure and a cool background story... :)

Thanks!  As I look at each of my customs, I always think of their story.  It makes the custom more complete for me.

It's really great when a simple design works out so well.

Jedi Minstrel - Jedi of the Old Republic 6/25/16
« Reply #633 on: June 25, 2016, 01:53:00 AM »
Hin Nisan was already training in Graqirin martial arts when it was discoverd as Force sensitive 3475 years before the battle of Yavin.  His initial training was just shifting gears to adhere to the Jedi tenets.  Nisan was always on guard.  Not because of issues with the Jedi but he kept having simple flashes of memories that he swore, never happened.  Although Graqirin martial arts taught him how to focus at an early age, He could not shake this feeling that imminent danger was always there.

What a cool character. I wish you would write a novel about him. I wonder if that imminent danger is ever found? Great custom too, off to share.

What paint did you use?  That orange looks factory smooth...great job.  I know colors like orange, yellows, etc are a pain to paint.

Thanks!  I use Citadel paints.  Yeah oranges and yellows don't seem to adhere real well.  There's something I've been experimenting with on smooth surfaces.  I'll take some Goof Off to rough up surfaces.  I think it's working.

Thanks for the FP.  He finds out years later...but that's either when I finally do write a novel or just create a couple of new figures with stories that line up with his.

Jedi Minstrel - Jedi Commando Survivor 7/1/16
« Reply #643 on: July 01, 2016, 12:09:08 AM »
Ka'an Chi'lee was a Knight of the Old Republic about 3574 years before the Battle of Yavin.  He was frustrated by the many conflicts along the borders of Republic and Sith space.  There seemed to also be small wars popping up in sectors of Republic space.  All thru his years as a youngling, then Padawan did he and many of his generation know nothing but years of skirmishes that would unleash evil throughout the known galaxy.  He and other Knights were given the mission of helping stabilize a sector of space that was partially annexed by the Sith Empire.  They were not to engage the enemy.  Unfortunately, that was not the case.  Chi'lee and 4 others were the sole survivors of the Jedi commando unit.  There were 24 of them.
