[Glassman6]

Or you can use a pen and draw them on. That will take some time, but will be cool to see when its done.

That Twi'lek is a great design, it's too bad she wasn't around when you guys were doing the Star Wars hottie Monthy Challenge 

[CHEWIE]

Big update... new photonovel is up!

Here is the intro -



And check out the photonovel section for the update.   

 

[CHEWIE]

Just a heads up, #20 was just posted in the photonovel section.



Check it on out!   

 

[CHEWIE]

Thanks for all the feedback on the photonovels, and sorry I haven't been able to comment on everyone's threads lately.  Been super busy.

But I did manage to get 6 new customs done... all army builers, and some are remakes of earlier versions of mine.  First off -

KASHYYYK TROOPERS -



MYGEETO INVASION FORCE -



Gotta get some sleep now, if anyone's curious on any sort of recipe I can post them when I'm not so exhausted!

 

[Clone Commander]

Very nice customs.
Me too, I will post more of a reply when i'm not exhausted.

[CHEWIE]

Thanks.  Here's a short little recipe for them.  The Kashyyyk guys are obviously just Scout Trooper repaints, just waiting on that VOTC version to come out before I try and make SA versions.

BACARA -

head - ROTS Bacara
body - ROTS SA Clone

GALACTIC MARINES -

head - SAGA2 Snowtrooper
torso - SAGA2 Snowtrooper
kama - SAGA2 Snowtrooper
legs - SAGA2 Snowtrooper
arms - ROTS Deluxe Clone

SERGEANT -

head - ROTS AT-RT Driver
torso - ROTS Bacara
arms - ROTS Bacara
legs - POTF2 Snowtrooper
cloak - POTF2 Orrimaarko

I like those Kashyyk troopers. The brown belts really work well with that shade of green. Nice clean troopers.

I'll post more of a response in the photonovel later.

[Commander_Miseria]

I have to say the more i look at the picture with the AT-RT clone in your mygeeto troopers, the more i begin to REALLY like the design. That helmet looks great in that paint scheme and the cloak really works on the figure.

[Phalanxx]

Great set of Army Builders Chewie.  The KASHYYYK TROOPERS look great. The drybrushing and shading on them really make them stand out.  Your GALACTIC MARINES look great as well.  I like the incorporation of the clone trooper's arms with the snowtrooper figure.

[darth_ripley]

i like the clean Kashyyyk troopers, that's a really nice shade of green Chewie. the Marines are very cool, i think of them as more of a "transitional" snow trooper, not quite 100% hoth, but not ROTS era either....like marines in the early days of the Empire. nice work as usual!

[CHEWIE]

Thanks everyone.  Ok, it seems like if I don't add at least 5 customs a week, I get heat for slacking through PMs and emails.   

So, here are a few more that I finished tonight.

Imperial Intelligence Officer w/ Imperial Gonk Droid -



The Gonk is obviously just a repaint for the most part.  For the officer, it's just a SAGA Ozzel w/ Imperial Scanning crew head and repainted.  I don't remember what hands those are.

D4-602 -



This is basically an ancient, Pre-Republic astromech droid for the Rykrof Enloe series.  Parts used -

head - some sort of wheel from a military vehicle
body - basic astromech

Mace Windu -



Parts used -

head - SAGA Jedi Counil Screen Scene Mace Windu
torso - POTJ 25th Anniversary Obi Wan Kenobi
legs - ROTS Agen Kolar
arms - POTJ 25th Anniversary Obi Wan Kenobi
skirt piece - ROTS Agen Kolar
right hand - SAGA Kit Fisto
left hand - ROTS Arena Battler Mace Windu
robe piece - ROTS Agen Kolar

Then he was 100% repainted other than the skin tones, and two black washes before sealing the paint, etc.   I think I'm finally happy with Mace now.

Hay Chewie

Man your MYGEETO INVASION FORCE are simply awesome the combo of body parts is very very well done and the paints apps as always mate is spoton.

KASHYYYK TROOPERS - these guys I really like alot the green colour you've used is excellent and it goes well withthe balck bodysuit.

Mace Windu - in my opion is the best I've seen the body parts you have used make him anatomically correct it's not funny well done indeed.

D4-602, Imperial Intelligence Officer w/ Imperial Gonk Droid - All are great figures again very well painted and simple just the way I like em.

[Phrubruh]

That D4-602 is about the most bizarr astromech I've ever seen. Very weird head. It almost seems too big for the body. Strange. Maybe some lights on the head to identify the front head?

I like the parts used for the Imperial Intelligence Officer. He's nice and clean looking. I think I would lose the belt around the gonk droid. It just makes him look very ad-hoc - like someone modified him for a purpose he wasn't intended for. I don't think the imperials would allow a droid with wires hanging off of it to wonder around a base. They seem to like their droids clean and streamline.   

[CHEWIE]

I don't know, I kind of like the oversized head.  I knew once I decided on it, that it might look to big.  It's supposed to be a very, very old model that predates the Republic.  I agree that maybe an eye or two on it is in order.  If so, something really simple like the eyes on R5-D4.

As for the Gonk, maybe you're right on the strap thing.  But I think every once in a while it's cool to see something a bit different than the norm.  Maybe you wouldn't see this droid on a Star Destroyer, but on some backworld planet where the Empire doesn't have a firm grip on the population and some things have begun to deteriorate.  Funny, because I like the Gonk a lot more than the officer.
