Yea Jules, it would be great to see you getting in on this one!

Oh great! I get interested and you go and post a custom that's out of this world. That's going to be really tough to beat LE, really great job.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Well thanks Jules but we both know you cold easily assemble something that would be mind blowing! Get busy man!

I decided I wanted to make the character Sam Witwer voices in Smuggler's Gambit radio drama. I am a huge fan of Sam's since the release of the Force Unleashed. I wanted the figure to feature sleek tight lines, not bulked up like many of my other figures. I also wanted to go a little bold with color choices for his clothing.It is mentioned that he wears mostly black so I wanted to stick to the description but add interest. When modifying the GI Joe head sculpt I added a small scar to show he had been around the block. Since Sam also plays Starkiller I threw in a few homages to those designs. I wanted him to have several belts, the collar is reminiscent of his Raxus Prime gear cowl, the shoulder armor is a reflection of his training gear design. In the end other than some resemblance to Sam in the face, I hope it doesn't look like Starkiller but mildly influenced by his many looks. So on with the show, presenting Ro Kurota, a young spacer just turned bounty hunter with his sights set on Han Solo.

Both incredible works, buddy, Just out of this world.

Awesome Spry. Time to get this on the front page.

[JediMerc]

Yep, I think Spry nailed this one.  Ro Kurota looks great: I could definitely see the Starkiller influence before I even read the description.  Nice touches and I think the color choices create just the right amount of interest without taking away from the character description.
