Thanks for the front page and comments Tamer. I thought the Greivous arms as additional "crafting tools" would be fun (I sometimes think that I would like a pair).

So just finished a Jashco Phurus. He was a lot of work. Many parts, paint, soft goods, even a bit of metal work. He's not a perfect replication of the images online, but I'm fairly happy with him:







Recipe:
     Head = custom from StarWarsGeek (painted by me)
     Upper torso = Comic Pack Quinlan Vos
     Upper arms = Mosep Binneed
     Lower arms = Quarren warrior
     Hands = One of the Mace Windu figures
     Legs/lower torso = The Hobbit Legolas
     Gun and ammo boxes = Marauder Gunrunner customs (I modified the rifle with greeblies)
     Shoulder armor = 20 gauge craft aluminum
     Skirt and waist wrap = added by me
     Neck bandolier = modified from a GI Joe heavy machine gun

Totally rocks Starchaser. Great use of parts. I may turn my eye to doing some of the Tokodana denizens. Still have some RPG characters I want to finish. Awesome custom!

Thanks bdc41866! I appreciate your feedback. Nice to get a "parts" compliment from a master of combinations!

AjuntaPall just finished a Rebels style Thrawn. In an interesting coincidence, I just finished a Noghri project I've been planning for a long time (its been a hope of mine ever since I saw that Hasbro would not be producing the mock up figure that was part of a comic pack several years ago).

This is Kharnubackh, a Noghri warrior spared being part of the Death Commandos by the simple fact that he was part of a small clan captured by slavers and relocated to Dathomir after the Clone Wars for slave labor. Their fierce nature didn't lend itself to slavery and in an uprising they slew their masters and established a colony on a remote continent. Kharnubackh's clan was eventually discovered by New Republic surveyors and he entered society as a warrior like many of his distant cousins from Honoghr.





Recipe:
     Head = Jempla (jawline beefed up and brow ridge added with "green stuff")
     Torso, arms and legs = Hobbit Dwalin figure
     Hands = comic pack Xizor
     Feet = I cut the lower calves off a Bossk and covered the scales with "green stuff" and then I cut the boots off Dwalin and joined the Bossk lower legs to Dwalin's legs to get the "reptile" like feet.
