Can I still enter a figure if I was planning on doing and had all the parts for if I got them before the contest but finished the figure after it started?

rules state it cant have been posted anywhere before the it is posted in the contest thread. at leas that is how i interpret them. I noticed you had posted a massif handler in your own thread and wondered why you didnt enter it in the contest.

I thought they were brown like the rots atrt driver. Grey would look so much prettier.

With some help from jay and a little more research of my own, I upgraded the phase 2 arf helmet markings to be more accurate. Turns out there was part of a stripe on the nose and even a bit above the visor below the helmet brim. I still cant get a good example shot of the cheek color though. I could have sworn it was brown.

thanks again, Jay, for your help with this one. If you members didnt know, Jay is the one to ask when you have any questions about the Clone Wars series, especially the clones, I would, think.

Clonehead: The 501st ARF helmet looks great!  Love the progress being made here!

Benjani:  That is not only the top figure on my list of what I wish Hasbro's should've done, but it is also one of the best-looking custom CW figs out there. I've always loved the Ventress character and this is by far the best outfit for her.  Awesome, awesome work!

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

Thanks,glad ya like it,she's looking good so far.
Got a nice selection of figures that really should've been released........especially the new style ventress,luckily I found one cheap missing the bits I didn't need anyway,
Making a little backdrop now,hope everything turns out right......doing alright so far.

No custom figure entries here, just wanted to share a quick pic of all of our  favorite CW characters to inspire the talented contestants!

Spent 20 mins on a small dio,about 30 mins - 1hr tops should do,it's all about the figures after all.
