L.E. ,
I'm so glad that you were the one to win this contest. I think you will be a great ambassador for the hobby when you appear on
RebelForce Radio. You have really contributed so much to this hobby. From figures, vehicles, dioramas, and photonovels to being one of the first Star Wars customizers to present a
Custom Action Figure Panel at a
Star Wars Celebration (VI), you set the bar for what can be done with creativity and a lot of hard work. You have achieved an admirable reputation among your peers as an artist and your winning figure rocked, even if it wasn't the favorite of your two submissions
I know how much you loved your Sweeper and all the work that went into him.
Let's be real though, your custom action figure of Ro Kurota is no pegwarmer. I love the choices you made both in his silhouette and paint application. He's the best of everything, he's so well executed. You made a Ro Kurota action figure that everyone would want to run out and buy. You made an outfit for him that I'd want to wear if I was in the Star Wars universe. All the right color choices too. The clothing lines created a look that was a cross between "Star Wars" and David Lynch's "Dune". He's pretty magnificaent. Escpecially your sculpt work on his jaw and chin. I love that you took the time to give him a scar so you can show that he'd been around the block. You made a killer figure.
I can't wait to hear you on the podcast.
Congratulations!
