my "Self-customs" submission: Myself as a Retired mandalorian soldier-turned Journeyman protector.

 Backstory: Dav'sa Arman was once a mandalorian soldier serving under Jaster Mereel's personal unit-- Headhunter company; which specialized in reconnaissance and covert operations and were characterized by their darker armour colourations. While under Jaster's command, Dav'sa served as a commander and was with the mandalorians well past Jaster's death.

 He served under Jango until the unfortunate incident at Galidraan, where he, as did most of the mandalorians who didn't die, went his own way. Some went onto become bounty hunters, but Dav'sa had other things in mind.

 He went to Concord Dawn to a village and became Journeyman protector up until the clone wars, when a mysterious man in familiar armour named Spar comes to him with a proposition...

Sorry about the non-cropped pics. My dad did a disc cleanup and it removed our Photoshop.

Jango Fett - Awesome!  Great idea!  I really can't wait to see how this turns out.  It looks like it will be the definitive Jango Fett    How are you going to fill in the gap in his waist?  Do you have to shave doen the torso peg? 

Keep us posted!

 Thanks for the comments, Gregorbian!


 For Jango, I plan to use a dremel (Well, first I plan to BUY a dremel) to dremel a hole in the pelvis shaped like the torso peg (which is kind of like a "D" shape), so it slides in nicely and so that I don't have to sacrifice waist articulation.

 All I need for Luke is to paint his boots, maybe dry pruch him a bit, and get a VOTC han belt for him. if anyone can provide me with a VOTC han belt and blaster, I'd really, REALLY appreciate it!

 Yeah, for Dav'sa, I wanted to go for the sort-of-generic look for him, yet keep the militaristic aspect of him, so he's got a uniform-looking shirt with shoulder armour and pads on, plus the green on his pants give that militaristic feel to it.

I'm loving that commander Snodd! Awesome use of parts. I never thought the neimoidian warrior's hea would look good on anything, but you made it work yet again, Chewie! Well done!

 Thanks for the feedback, guys! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you all like it so much! It was so much fun doing this bounty hunter cause it was so challanging: I wanted to make an ubese and stay true to the design, but I wanted to make it look male, so I couldn't use any of the body parts from the original boussh fig other than the helmet and the weapon. I also had to come up with parts that looked good and not silly, and I think I've succeeded. My only gripe is the skirt. you can't see it, but in the back, the belt puffs out because the hole for it and the gen are different.

 Everyone's welcome to steal the recipe if they need it and if there's any confusion about parts used, I'll clear that up right now:

Arms and Torso: Clone Wars Anakin

Skirt: ROTS Dooku

Legs: ROTS Royal Guard

Helmet and force pike: POTF2 Leia in boussh disguise

That's why I lOVE customising, Hasbro has so much expensive clones coming out nbowadays and all we need to do is dish out the acrylics and the brushes and have a field day!

FINALLY UPDATED!
