Hey, cool!!! Really looking great and like you all had a lot of fun. I think I spotted a good friend from the GG, Benny. And of course I am so excited about all those custom figures!!! I see Imperial Knights, a Bo Katan, a cool Boba... hmmm, thinking of new stuff for artworks ;-) And of course it is so nice to see my graphic work and the custom figure showcased together, thanks :)

Man, you kinda participated without even being there.
If you need detail shots of my action figure customs, I'll take some pics of posed figures for you so you have a better resolution for your artwork.

Indeed, weired thing :D
And thanks so much for your generous offer, I'll come back on this, maybe starting with Bo Katan so it lines up with Andy's imperial femes. The two knights are gorgeous, too, I saved a shot from your feed here. I also dropped a note to the editor of the German fan club to ask him if he is interested in this kind of artwork for his magazine. So lets see...

Hi Andy, that is great to hear! :) Yeah, seeing the figure and the illustration together is really awesome! Thanks!!
Oh, so if I paint the Bo Katan figure this would make three artists working on one project - sounds cool - like the three tenors  LOL

I am so behind on work here at home after just getting back, but I had to get a gallery created of the wonderful images and artwork you folks had on display. Volker thank you so much for putting this together and showcasing this at Union of the Force! On the front page!

Tamer, it may sound corny, but it was a team effort.
Everybody contributed and I think a shoutout to IronPanda's mom and Stefan's wife are in order. They weren't at the convention, but contributed, too.
