Hi Charlie
I'm working on it.

However here's a few I've been working on that I finished recently.


R2-CEII, Hoth Droid and R2-H5

Which reminds me I must dig out the Baron Tagge I made using the head you sent me.

Thanks. For me its been about finding tools and paints I can work with and accepting my own style development.
I should post some of my 1990s Next Generation figures as a contrast.
Its also about sharing customs in places like here and getting inspiration, and sharing ideas.

These Astro-mechs are fabulous.  I also really like the airborne trooper helmet on Wolffe, it looks great!

I have 6 more on the shelf then I think I'm done. However, I do have one more to reveal before that with my other favourite past times -Clones!

That's quite a nice trio of 'Mechs, Koth!
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.

Not that you show more, but that you produce more! ;)

The fans at The Astromech Collection page on Facebook love your astromechs, so better not disappoint them or else... ;)

Thank you all for the feed back and the front page.

I will also be submitting a Yakfinities this month. I think its only the second time ive done it but the 'Merchants' title is close to my heart as I have a few merchants still in my todo box.

Looks like I am quite busy this month, then.

Here's an update for you. First off here's another side of R4-CEII and the Hoth Droid



As you can see R4-CEII is only CEI due to the lack of I! The hoth droid, in all the photos I've seen is working downwards so his head is the other way around.
Both droids are BAD constructs

Next up is a custom mold from Darth Sinister



Baron Tagge
Head - Darth Sinister custom sculpt
Belt - AT AT Commander of some description
Rest - Imperial Scanning Crew

Some of the most interesting characters came from the Marvel years and was Star Wars to me growing up. I never knew why he never made it to action figure status.

Cheers for the head Charlie, however long ago it was. (I did finish Akmena too, which is somewhere about)

Finally today, here's the one I've been a bit brown pants over. My dremeling skills were put to practice and it would have been an expensive fluff if I messed it up.



Jek-14 Clone Trooper from The Yoda Chronicles
Head - Jai Clone head
Helmet - Phase II bucket
Left Arm - Holo Cody Arm
Rest - VC15 Clone Trooper

I can't ignore EU (as you can guess from my R4-Bad1 custom) and as I love Clones Jek-14 had to be made. He does sport a white lightsabre as well but as this was not in the show I didn't include it.
His astromech is R4-G0 and for all you droid lovers heres a close up.



R4-G0
Build a Droid parts

The head started out being a black Tatooine droid but I couldn't get the body correct so I repainted the head for this guy and the body went t R2-CQ.

Hope you enjoy this update. I have completed a few more recently and will post my Yakfinities entry too.

Hey is that character that LEGO made? That is so cool. I need to find out about the backstory of this character. Well done. On the front page.
