Thanks for your comments, glad you like the EU customs. Here’s a customised Dewback and Rider.
Customised POTF2 Dewback: Partial repaint with added fur. Modified POTF2 Dewback Prod. Custom reins, bit, and stirrups. Custom panniers; made from foamcore, covered in paper and felt panel. Existing panniers also fitted with felt.



Dewback Rider: Repainted VC14 Sandtrooper, with modified helmet, belt and left knee. Added straps to backpack. Ammo pack cut from POTJ Sandtrooper belt attached to strap on backpack (rather than pauldron). Also added small tool pouch to ammo pouch.



Original saddle covered with synthetic leather. Stirrups made from paper clips.



WIP photo of Sandtrooper: This shows magnets I have fitted under the belt to attach the ammo pouches. This allows the Sandtrooper legs to be moved into riding position without the pouches being in the way, it also allows for swapping ammo pouches or leaving them off. The small magnets are taken from the hands of Star Wars Saga Jedi figures.

Back to the Cantina. Custom Silver Spacemen and Updated Cantina Dude.



Custom Silver Spacemen: 1 POTF2 AT-ST Driver and the other is POTF2 Imperial Scanning Crew, both with modified collars to hold helmet. Helmets made from POTF2 Rebel Fleet Trooper and an old 70s spaceman figure. I’ll probably redo these figures at some stage in the future with more articulated figures, I wanted to see how the helmets and collars worked out. I actually think these 2 suits in the film were the other 2 Planet Of The Apes suits, some photos look like they have the same markings at the front and quilting on the legs.



Custom Silver Spaceman: POTF2 Imperial Scanning Crew, with modified collar made from a shower curtain eyelet. Head from Star Wars Saga General Madine.
Some photos showing the work in progress for the Silver Spacemens’ helmets.



Updated Custom Cantina Dude: Mainly Saga Legends SL01 Bossk, with custom harness. Gloves from Star Wars Saga 02/42 Darth Maul. Boots cut from POTJ Ellorrs Madak then glued to existing Bossk knees. Head from Saga Legends SL23 Snowtrooper, with helmet from POTJ BoShek.

These are looking great!  Awesome solution to the silver spaceman helmet.  Dewback is inspired, and I love that first shot recreation with the blue sky!

PM sent.  Keep up the good work!
