So Hemble's secret for masterful painting is discovered.  He paints everything in shades of gray before adding the color.  Very nice.

In all seriousness.  Those look great.  I think that Yoda/Luke are amazing so far.

great work hemble, i'd thought of that idea as well based off of chewie's work with rykrof.  another option i'd thought of was to give him the snowtrooper skirt, and the chest armor/with an AT-AT or AT-ST helmet.

Ok Guys
The Imperial officer was made using three different figures, I had to cut the neck, legs and pop the arms off the old imperial officer
 
I then had to drill out the legs and arms to fit the sandtrooper parts. I also cut Veer's neck off and glue it to the body once I got the
 
desired look I then repainted him using GW and Reaper miniature paints

1-Imperial officer body #55
2-Head and neck section are from General Veers SAGA collection #07
3-Arms,legs, helmet and belt are from the sandtrooper from the EVOLUTION series #1
4-Pouches, holster and laser pistol are from the bits box.

I don't really know a better way to put it, but those are just crazy good, man!

I always love to see something that's already really good like that Luke and Yoda improved in your style.

Taking the concept of a lightly armored imperial commander to the level you have here is magnificent. This I'll most certainly give a try at some point.

Great work.

Great to see these figures in color.  They both look great.  Always impressed with your painting skills.

Luke & Yoda - Great overall job on these figures.  Yoda tunic actually looks like it was made from fabric instead of plastic.

Imperial Field Officer - Nice take on this figure. Although we have seen similar customs using clone trooper armor, the use of stormtrooper armor on this one makes it stand out   The added pouches on the ST belt is a great touch.

Very nice to see these in color Hemble.  Your painting is always amazing and really brings things to life.   I love the Imperial a lot, and maybe even more without the helmet on.  It's a VERY believeable design.  Great work.

Wow Great Stuff!

I've always been a Big Fan of your Paint Aps. They really add a touch of realism to these toys.

I'm really digging your Imp. Field Officer. That Custom Belt is just, Sweet and really give the Custom that little Touch that puts it over the Top.

Keep up the Great Work!

Hemble - I really like the Yoda/Luke.  I can't believe how well you can make the plastic look like Cloth.   The imperial trooper is a great looking figure but I'm not sure I'm sold on the design.  However, this is strictly personal preference and not a critique on the figure b/c he looks amazing!

I really like the Imperial Field Officer. The armor and helemt is awesome, I just think that the Stormie belt looks too bulky. Maybe Dremel down the inside of the belt to make it less thick. It's just a suggestion, but still, your painting skills is untouchable.
