And the paint makes it all come together! Excellent work as always!

Killer paint apps. Great job. I'm inspired to get my paint brushes out tonight.  ;)

Looks fantastic!  Gosh I wish there were more SOTE figs available...

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Guys thank you very, very much for your kind words - I had a cr@ppy day at work today and reading the comments on here lifted my spirits greatly!

Restoration work excluded I want to finish my SOTE run of figures so here's what I'm looking at in the future...

To finish my Chewie as Snoova. Then I'd like to make a Guri and Leebo. Possibly Lando in Coruscant Guard outfit too. I like the comic pack Xizor but that Leia is darn awful! I don't really know where I could take Leia as a custom - unless anyone has any reference photos of her in other outfits? Also I found some pics of Big Gizz - wow that looks like it might be too much of a challenge for my limited skills!!

With the snowspeeder Luke warming pegs it would be nice and easy to bash a Dash in that gear too...

So what do folks think? Thanks as always for stopping by!

WB Out!!

I like the sound of Guri (is that the assasin droid Luke lets go?) and always thought it might be interesting to see a Pilot Xizor if he has an outfit when he takes out the Virago. I would love to see someone take on that three and three quarter build one day. I so am going to go find that this weekend and read it again.

If you stick to the SOTE novelization only you could keep to those basic figures or if you also like the comic book adaptation you could pick up even more characters to develop. Here are a few I would like to see, but of course this is simply my opinion...

Spiker
Guri
Leia as Boushh - a better version
Koth Melan
Spero
Benedict Vidkun

Anyway, just some ideas I thought I would throw out.

tamer.... a 1:18th scale virago would be awesome.  And by using the action fleet version of the ship I know it'd be a simple task to scale it up in size!  AND the best part is that the ship is mostly hard lines and 90degree edges, making it a relatively simple design....

I think it'd be an easy one to do.  Put that on my "to-do but will never get around to it" list...

Well I've decided on who is next after Snoova..

Yep I'm going to tackle Guri, more specifically the version of the character in the painting above. I'm looking at a fairly simple build and repaint using a MU Kitty Pride and skirt from a POTF2 Leia. Stay tuned for the next update folks!!

Wow awesome pic of her, its the first time I have seen what she might look like. Looking forward to the build.

And SF, I would love to see someone tackle that build, perhaps WB can pull it off!

Stuck at work at the moment (was on mainland Europe last week)

Guri build has gone pretty well - paint going on tomorrow! Also got all the parts for my TOR Jedi based on my actual level 44 character :) and as for Leebo? I've got all the parts but scared of the sculpting at the moment lol!!

Pics soon,

WB
