I've been thinking hard about the custom contest, and have the pieces for these figures I'd like to make and if good enough enter in the contest. This will at least give me one to focus on, and if it doesn't turn out I'll focus on the next highest. Hopefu

Made a Nikto jedi, with some green on his tunic, and icy blue decals on his lightsaber.

A good addition to the Alien Jediverse. Off to share.

Thanks Tamer. Here's another jedi, this time a Mon Calamari. I just kinda picked up two colors, and ran with them for his skin, but I like the way it turned out. The orange lightsaber is actually a party pick, one of those little translucent plastic swords. Not as nice as a cast, but hey're a great, fast, and cheep way to get those odd colors like yellow, orange, and clear.

Here's another WIP pic of Bo-Katan, I'm extremely happy with it, so I thought I'd share.

Thanks Tamer, and Hemble. Made these two for a customer, anybody else have problems with blue paints? Tried a few different brands, and and they all seem to have something funny with their chemical composer, like not mix, and/or bond well. Only really have problems with blue too, seems weird.

So I haven't really been on the boards since I posted my "selfie" for the contest, but you've been busy. Really great custom output over the past couple of months. Your Basilisk war droid turned out stunning (I was compelled to vote for it). I also really like how your Kerra Holt figure turned out. Thanks for the recipe as well, I was thinking about attempting her as a figure because she's an interesting character.

As far as blue paint goes, I haven't had any problem with the Citadel blues, but that's just me.

Thanks for the vote, still ecstatic about winning. Glad you like the Kerra Holt, I'm really enjoying taking more production photos so the parts can be seen. Will have to try that brands blue, thanks again Starchaser

Finished the sculpt on Bo-Katan, now she just needs paint. Didn't get a pic, but I modified the jetpack, and made it connect to her via magnet.

Finished Bo-Katan for the same customer. Tried very hard to capture the essence of the character, by keeping the Clone Wars styling, while maintaining her femininity. She's complete with swapable heads, and magnetically attaching jetpack.
