This is my entry.

This is Ervin Van Messer. He is an officer of the ISB Alien Relocation Unit. He works helping to relocate aliens to different sectors 'for their own safety'. Most realize that the ISBARU's real mission is to take aliens away from the more desired sectors of Corusant.

I don't see how to edit the post.

Ervin was made from E3 Bail Organa. His hat is a repainted Lt. Jundland hat. I painted the piping on his hat by hand. His machine pistol is a modified G.I. Joe Cobra Viper gun. I made it to look like a futuristic German MP40 submachine gun. I hand made his dagger. His pistol is Bail Organa's with a new paint.

Those are some seriously intimidating-looking droids! The paint apps on these guys is beyond great! They don't even look the scale they are; they look more like they're both full-sized!
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

I-Am-Boba-Fett, can you share the recipe for the droid?

Thanks!


Sure thing!  The body is a McQuarrie Concept R2-D2 and the head is a magnetically attached cast head of a vintage Fx-7.

Here's another entry if I got him in in time. I could not log into the site tonight for some reason. Finally got in.
Anyhoo, this is a custom IMPERIAL 2-1B SURGEON DROID. I figured at some point somebody in the Empire was gonna get injured and need some mending, that's where this droid comes in handy ;)
This droid features an interchangeable magnetically attached hand and surgical blade.
PLUS this droid lights up internally with a red LED light.
MORE PICS OF THIS DROID CAN BE SEEN IN MY THREAD HERE:
