I have one question, D_N: Where do you get these awesome guns? Y'know, like the one that Vuron Aros has? I know you added the cloth thing yourself, but where did you get the actual gun? I think they are the coolest things...

Hey D_N,

I really like the parts usages you come up with for these guys...it's very imaginative and they end up being really cool designs. I may want to use a few of these in the future. I'm especially fond of the soldier with the Commando helmet...I wouldn't have thought it would look good on another body, but you pulled it off nicely.

Like Fritzkrieg, though, I have to say they look more like freedom fighters than members of the GAR or the Empire.

If I had to offer one criticism though, it would have to be the paint on the faces. These guys always look grimy to me, and for some reason it really bothers me. It looks less like camo or warpaint than just grease, and I think they'd strike my fancy a bit more if it at least looked like Camo paint.

SP got it right, most of the non-SW guns come from Marauder Inc with my own mods.

I might go back and change their backstory to be Rebel guerilla fighters, and add some camo paint, or clean their faces up. Which would look better?

Actually, MBA, I was actually going for the snipers in "Enemy at the Gates." I've never seen Behind Enemy Lines.

Re: D_N's Customs- Wed. 6/14- Drox Precore, Rebel Guerilla Fighter

Lol.

I didn't really have alot of time this past week for customs but I did manage to pretty much completely redo Precore into a Rebel guerilla fighter/mercenary. After DD and Fritzkrieg pointed out that they looked more like Rebels, I realized that they were right.

I cleaned up his face, added some 5 o clock shadow and some color to his lips, redid the legs and arms, tried to give his vest/coat a more black color, then switched out his gear to a new styrene belt.

Drox Precore and Vuron Aros were a pair of freelance mercenaries who were contracted by the Rebel Alliance to launch a campaign of raids against Imperial convoys to take supplies and ordnance as well as munitions. One of their most successful raids was when they intercepted and disabled a convoy of Imperial Ground Transports en route to assist the Empire in guarding the Death Star's shield complex on Endor. They tracked the convoy's movement across the heavy jungle until they disabled the point and rear guard vehicles, then killed the drivers of the transports, and maintained a secure perimeter until a larger relief force carried the commandeered supplies to the Alliance's fallback point.

Without coat and belt:








Well, I hope you like him. LMK what you think, all comments are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Looks great with the overcoat, that really makes this look good... I still would avoid using Han/Luke heads if possible, but that's ok.  If you have a Rebel Fleet Trooper helmet or Endor rebel helmet, that might really look good on him.

I might make some out of Fomecore, I don't know. I dont have a Fleet or Endor helmet, but I might give him an Imperial helmet...he did intercept a convoy of supplies, I'm sure there would be a Veers helmet in there.  :)

I really had a hard time repainting the eyes on Sora Bulq, so I abandoned the eyes and went with a "what if Sora survived his final duel with Vos" custom.

It takes more than a chest wound to put a Sith down...

After an intense duel between Jedi-turned-Sith Sora Bulq and Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, Bulq was left for dead with a hole and his chest and without a weapon. Blinded, exhausted, and on the edge of death, Sora managed to find the strength in the Dark Side of the Force to semi-heal himself and find shelter to recover. One year later, Darth Ilesar, Bulq's adopted Sith name, was back in action and his lightdagger reconstructed, where he began an underground drug and organized crime network spanning COruscant and other Inner Rim worlds.
