Nice work Phalanxx!  Master_Gunzz did an excellent job on casting/upsizing that figure and your paint job definitely does it justice.  Excellent work you lucky dog you! 

Citadel Paints my friend, accept no substitutes 

My main "base of operations" is www.TheJawa.com (I'm the customs moderator there) but we only have a few regular posters.
I definitely think that JD.com has the best bunch of customizers out there, I love the real community vibe here and, aside from the high level of talent, there are also great comments on everybody's customs.

I also have accounts at www.FFurg.com (haven't posted there in a while, I probably should - they're a great customizing community as well); www.GalacticHunter.com (I usually update my customs page here, but most of the customizers at GH.com post here too, so I usually comment here instead); www.CommandoCustoms.com (I just post my Microman customs here); www.RebelScum.com (I post random things but mostly use the forum for the Trades Section, if at all); www.SandTroopers.com (hardly post here anymore); and of course, www.thejawa.net/NJSWCC (New Jersey Star Wars Collector's Club - it's pretty much just me and Mitch (aka Tykrazen))

I find it hard to keep up with so many different forums.  Nowadays I focus on TheJawa.com; NJSWCC; and JediDefender.com.  I like the other sites and they have great people, but it takes way too much time to keep up with everything. 

Well, I have an extra ROTS Dooku cape if you want it.  Send me a PM 

Great update CHEWIE, my favorite is probably the Mace Windu, I really like the added articulation and the use of the Sora Bulq body.  Great combination there.

Aayla Secura in CW Armor is interesting, although the skirt looks a bit too Shaak-Ti-ish for me.  I think that the thinner Clone 3-pack legs would work since they are a bit thinner, although that would require a lot more modifications to attach the knee joints.  That being said, your explanation of the template armor makes sense, although I'm sure that the Jedi had access to different sized armor (after all, the jedi were different height/weight from Jango and they apparently wore the clone armor). 

The XD head on the Hagen Daas Jedi is very good.  The pose, while limited, definitely works for that head, I agree that he looks "battle-hardened."

The Mace Windu in CW armor is cool too.  I am really digging these armored jedis, I think I'll have to make a few.  Great update as always CHEWIE!

Do you think the crew at Yestertoys is wondering why the hell the Saga Endor Trooper w/Beard is now suddenly the hottest figure they have?   

I'd be careful when ordering from Yestertoys.com
They have tons of negative feedbacks on eBay and I had heard that they actually closed down last year.  They haven't updated their web site in a long time. 

I ordered a ton of stuff from them in the summer of '04 and about half of the time they shipped my correct order, but the other half of the time I would have to call them and talk to Tom about the mess up (since they hardly answered their e-mails).  I sent them an e-mail a few days ago just to see if they were still around and to ask on the quantities of a few figures, but have so far not yet received a response.

Anyway, I hope they are still around because, even considering their crappy customer service, their prices are too good to pass up.

Congrats on the Best Custom Vehicle Award Spectre!  I always liked that Warthog that you made.

I also really like these M.A.M.B.A.s that you have been making.  The only thing that I would do differently would be to replace their heads with regular battle droid heads, maybe with some slight modifications (like how the Super Battle Droids have regular battle droid type heads build into their torsos).  Still, since you're going for the G.I. Joe-Star Wars crossover, the Cobra B.A.T.s heads work fine.  Very cool backstory on these guys too.
