I only have one thing to say abaout Narwon. Captain Nemo
..that or Angry Lincoln. lol. Make him a top hat and he is set to go. What head did you use on him?

Zeedo is pretty cool too, Is he making use of a military figure body? I am unsure.

As for the Mandalorian, I don't quite remember him in the story, but as of now, he really reminds me of some sort of Desert Deco Televiper from Cobra...  :D What is head from also?

And here's one more, a Red cloaked Palpantine.

Wow, excellent customs!  You set a very high standard  ;D
I look forward to seeing some more :P

Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.
It's as big as a house on walking legs,
and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

Okay, let me break this down...

NARWON

Narwon reminds me of the classic "Trek" episode with... SPACE LINCOLN!!! Lord, that show was gay sometimes. I like Narwon, though...even if he ran like a sissy in the story. Of course, if I remember, he was being chased by Wookiees, and that would make anyone fill the back of their pants.  ;)

ORNAR FRIST

A favorite of mine. The weathering and color scheme are great. I too, am wondering what head you used, CHEWIE.

ZEEDO CHISSIS

Always good to see another Rodian custom. Is that a BBI body, CHEWIE? And if so, which one? It looks great.

RED ROBED PALPATINE

Awesome. Another custom where Chewie had to make up for Hasbro dropping the ball. I can almost hear him saying "The Republic will be reorganized...into the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE!!!"

Great job as always, CHEWIE.

-DD

Thanks dudes.

NARWON -

Yeah, he chickens out in CHAOS... lives to fight another day.  Simple custom, just the Dannick Jerricho body, gloves from Madine (I think) and a head from a 21st century terrorist figure.  He'll be back in the series soon.

ORNAR FRIST -

He met his end in CHAOS.  He is a 300th Fett w/ Cinema Scene Wedge helmet and a part from some GI Joe mask from a figure I got in the late 1980s.  Glued and painted, etc.

ZEEDO CHISSIS -

First appeared in ASSASSINS OF EVIL, lived in CHAOS, will be back soon as one of TRIGG FUUDA's allies.  Just a 21st century body w/ Rodian head.  Simple as can be.

PALPATINE -

Simple too.  Just the red robed Palpatine figure w/ alternate head and hands, and the hood from the deluxe Palpatine (had to glue it down) - will paint a bit to make it look better.

 :P

Fantastic job as always, CHEWIE! :)

NARWON

Very cool. The cantina wave has such great customizing potential. Where did you find so many of them?

ORNAR FRIST

Awesome. I love the pose and the helmet is very cool looking. Great choice of colors too, it seems quite fiting for him

ZEEDO CHISSIS

Your so called simple customs are always good, the paint app really turns them into something else, this one is no exception. :)

RED ROBED PALPATINE

I love it. I was going to suggest a bit more drybrushing but you already covered that. :)

As always, keep it up! :)

Thanks Andy.

The top pic is of some Magna Droids that I repainted.  I just don't like how Hasbro painted them.

The bottom one will be in a photonovel.

Yeah I'll paint one like that when I can afford a few more... I didn't realize how much I liked the figure until I repainted it.  Now I love it.  I just wish he had knee articulation.  I need to see if I can figure out how to to that.

cut the legs at the knees a certain way. then stick a paper clip or some-such through it. and cap the ends of it, or bend the ends of the clip so it can't slide out, it should work. I did it to a luke a while back, but ended up ripping the guy apart for parts.

"YOU IDIOT! THATS A BLUE SNAGGLETOOTH!" :-*

I suggest a tack nail, with the ends cut off, for the peg on the articulation.

Very nice reworking of the Greivous' Guards Justin...  I can't say I like the figure, but you're doing it some justice, and the electro-effects on the pikes are just sweet.  I love that a weapon was even created that can stand up to a Lightsaber...  but that's beside the point.

I'm not a real fan of the figure because I'm thinking he's a bit underscaled after seeing more and more footage of them.  They seem rather small as figures, especially the sort of pinhead fate they suffer from.  :( 

Be nice for an SA one to come out at some point.  He's not a bad figure as far as poseability goes though, save for those knees.  He definitely could use those, you're right.
