Wow Pete,  Awesome work on the figure and speeder.  I think I like the white version of the speeder better though.  It had a different color scheme than any I have seen.  Why not incorporate the white in your new black speeder where the black was on the white one.  Maybe it will bring the red out better.  Just a sugestion.  As for your rider . . . it looks great.  I wouldn't change a thing.  Good work.

my new speederbike *where progress is slow because of school and homework*

Iwant to make the speederbike look like wherever Number 7 went, he would be able to camp out. so far I'm just applying th second coat of paint so it looks like a real speederbike.

Awesome RC, cubanpete! is the comic pack RC fully articulated, or does it have the same crap as the other commandos released in packs? I'd really love to do a set of full-articulation custom RCs from the xbox game and one set from the books (delta and omega squads, respectively), but with the whole paint job being the silvery/metallic that it was in the game... the pure white never looked right to me in the released figures! Omega also needs a little accent coloring over the flat black, just enough so you can tell who's who but the black is the majority, gotta stay stealthy!

The Comic Pack RC is the same as the other older RCs re. articulation.
The Fi Skirata figure in the EVO Commando pack, however, has knee and ankle articulation. I'm not sure if Hasbro has given Fi ball-jointed shoulders now, too.

my new repaint of a boba fett figure













I havn't been very active on the customizing front, which I apologize for, I've been focusing on the speederbike build off

also if you are interested in the weapon recipes, just ask, I feel that they will look much better if a professional does them. I'm still trying to get used to the the techniques of the hot glue gun technique

that boba looks awesome.  Love the black against the white background.  can we get some shots of the decal on his shoulder pad?  I can't make it out.  Also I'd like to see some better shots of those guns, and the recipes.  I might have to make one of the bazooka styled gun myself.

I just looked back over those and I REALY need to know how you made those pistols! lol

Looking at the repainted fett... I realy realy like that one as well but I would recomend repainting the pouches too.  Not necessarilly the front ammo pouches but the side pockets that hang down... that stupid pinkish color they came in is something I've always hated and it definately clashes with the rest of your color scheme...
I also like the detailing added to the thigh pockets, you need to go back and do that to more of the figure, around the legs and the arms some.
btw: VERY clean paint apps!

alright, I'll provide the rocket launcher tutorial first. I've altered the design,  but only becasue I used a mildly rare rifle in my rocket launcher, so I changed it so ALL the pieces are easy to find, and not expensive.

here are all the guns you need for the rocket launcher.





which are all convienently packed in these boxes, which come with many figures you buy.



let's start with the Droid rifle, sorry for low quality, I had to use one hand, anyway, cut the front part of the droid rifle,



then, cut the scope off the entire gun itself.  and then you have this. congratulations, you have the scope, and trigger of the rocket launcher



now that the droid rifle part is done, let's move on to the DC-15 rifle,



cut the front barrel off, like so, KEEP THE FRONT BARREL!



Let's move on to the EMP gun.



to be continued, have to go somewhere

Holy crap, those guns rock! I am totally stealing your idea for some of those, I've been stuck for new weapons to cannibalize those countless locker weapons! I actually started making a telescope for some reason... talk about sculptor's block!

pete after seeing all these i had to set down at the table and work on a bunch of my own.  I got a ton of fodder accessories in an e-bay auction that were all for 7" figs so I'm trying to figure out ways to cannibalize them into smaller guns better suited for 3.75" figs....
