I am really enjoying your updates. I really like that Sith Knight. I need to get The Star Wars and read that too. I am so behind in my EU Comics. Off to the front page.

Tamer - Thanks, I like the Sith knight too, and he was a pretty straight-forward custom. I may do a little more work to the Ryn, but I think he's my personal favorite of the three (I really enjoy the "alien" races of Star Wars).

DarthSinister - Thanks for the congrats and the compliment.

That Sith Knight is pretty awesome, as are the other eclectic bunch of customs you've created there. Great work!
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.

Tamer, I sent you an e-mail (to the tamer@imperialshipyards.net address) last night. Let me know if it didn't come through. Thanks.

I just checked twice, spam folder and all that, and didn't see it. Can you send it again please? Sometimes I wonder about my email provider. You can also use the pm system here to send it too just to be safe.

That selkath head sculpt NEVER ceases to amaze me. I might just have to order a couple from I-Am-Boba-Fett myself!
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Okay, so today I was doing a bit of organizing of the 'ol customs and remembered my very first. So I dug it out and thought I would share. We all have to start someplace. I will certainly date myself with this one, but I did it when I was 11, before "customizing" was what it is today. I just couldn't believe that Kenner didn't make the cool troopers from the opening scene of Star Wars, so I had to make one myself:



He's just an original Kenner Death Squad Commander, with a homemade felt vest and Testor's white paint on the helmet.

Very nice. Pretty good for an 11 year old. I like the vest. Off to the front page.

Here's a couple of more original figures. The first is a "Rebels" era character. His name is Fallvaroo and he's a street kid (well street Wookie) on Coruscant. His mother was brought to Coruscant as a slave, basically a scullery maid, to an Imperial official while pregnant. She managed to hide him for a few years while he was quite young, but couldn't keep it up so he escaped into the "streets" of Coruscant. He's about sixteen (and consequently not as tall as a full grown Wookie).





For size comparison





Fallvaroo's recipe:
Head = Rorworr (plus some paint)
Body = Clone Wars Chewie with the middle torso section removed
Vest = the jacket from a MiB3 Stalk Eyes figure

The next is Yib Garnach, a Tifrin (original species) pawn broker/money lender with a reputation for honesty. He has taken a liking to Fallvaroo, but tries not to show it.





Head = Lt. Sprog (Hasbro Kreo)
Torso and arms = Puko Naga (Toys R Us exclusive)
Legs = Clone Wars Anakin

And Lady Neira, a noble woman from Arkania.





Recipe:
Head = Marvel Universe Storm
Body = Revenge of the Sith Luminara Unduli
Arms = Vintage Zam Wessell (thought about painting the arms, but then decided the figure needed a bit of color)
Staff = Comic Pack Xizor

Last for tonight: Darshim Arondon, a Kebar Taan ambassador to the Senate from the Larkheen Federation (an alliance of races on far side of the Corporate Sector, but not a part of the Republic/Empire), who bring both military and diplomatic experience to the table.









Head = Angelforge custom head
Body = Retaliation Zartan
Cape = Retaliation Joe Trooper
Guns = Marauders Gunrunners original casts

Darshim and the Larkheen are fanfiction for me. Who knows, but I may put a full story together sometime.

That wookie teen is great. Off to share.
