...I am going to try and give him some really good articulation.

 

I *just* snagged an Episode I Battle Droid on ebay so I can harvest the arms for that very purpose :-)

I forgot to post this guy last night. He's an early IG series "War Droid". I envision him as being a tool of the Republic/Empire to infiltrate heavy fire/unknown areas where Clones wouldn't fare too well. (think of a more dangerous version of a bomb squad recovery robot)

That said, I'm thinking this guy would make a really good sidekick for my Nemoidian above...

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

I know everyone has their clones, and they do get boring at times. Still, it's a great way to get back into the hobby for someone like me who was away for so long. I'll keep doing them b/c they are a lot of fun, but I fully intend to get into more non-clones, especially aliens like Nemoidians (my Clones need someone to kill, after all)

Gregorbian - I was planning a really odd fanfic for Koe that explains his minimal differences. It's complicated, and I don't want to reveal anything in case I do actually write it up some day. Koe does have a different antenna on his back, an ARC-esque scanner on the side of his helmet, and the shoulder pauldron. Plus he has a variation paint job on his helmet, so he's a *little* different. I have 10 Commanders, though, and I need to do something with them, so who knows...

hemble - The WWII Heavy Coat is a CHEWIE idea I took in a slightly different direction. I like to attribute credit where it is due

CHEWIE - As everyone says about their custom clone unit, mine are particularly ruthless. Koe named himself such for "Kill On Entry"...his unit is a reflection of that attitude. Thanks as always for the very kind words.

Quazar - Believe it or not, that helmet is gray. The idea behind it is that this Nemoidian killed a heavy Clone (no small feet for a fleshy frog) and took the outer shell as his trophy... mostly to rub salt in the wounded egos of his enemies who see him wearing it in battle (sounds like something a Nemoidian would do). For that reason I didn't want to go too different on the color, so I just made it light gray.

DD - More aliens to come, I promise! Thanks for the kind words.

I can't wait to see the finished version of that Neimoidian!

School is insane so far (as such, I haven't been able to do a custom in over a month  ).  My life these days exists exclusively of reading cases and writing memos...
I go to Rutgers Camden Law School.  I'm not familiar with "Gator" although I'm sure I should be... 

Gator = University of Florida (undergrad and law)

Get used to that life, and plan to work like that this summer wherever you go. Do yourself a favor and work this summer... you need to stay in the habit from now on

I almost ended up in the NE for law school. Being a Florida boy, that cold weather would likely have killed me...

I'm about to post pics of my Nemoidian along with some pics of a custom Clone Unit I've been working on.

No love for the frogs? Come on, I have a pretty cool Nemoidian I'm working on I'd love to throw him into the ring :-)

Here's a WIP shot:
