Wonderful stuff, CHEWIE! Wow, adversity seems to bring out an even higher level of work with you. :)

First off, I was really sorry to hear about Kirby, too. He was the man. Sometimes the brightest stars just burn out faster.  :'(

Anyway, on your 501st, I can't really say much on these other than that I think this is what Hasbro should have given us. I don't know if I'll ever forgive them for saddling us with the AT-TE sculpt for that figure. There's always hope, I suppose, for SA 501st, but I'm not holding my breath.

Clone Armor Mace is AWESOME. Great choice of head sculpt, as we can be pretty sure that when Mace has to don armor, it's going DOWN. ;)

Hagen Daas is too cool for his name, man. Great use of head there. You know, that could VERY, VERY easily be a young Dooku...



Can't say a whole lot about Jolan Karr other than the head repaint looks really good, and that's a nice use of the Mace body.

The Clones in Jedi disguise are amazing. The facial detail (I'm not sure if you did that or if it's just the pic) makes them LOOK like they're waiting to ambush someone. Brilliant.

Aayla also looks awesome. I think your point on the bulk of the armor is right on. It might be the shoes? The use of the skirt is a nice was to minimize the scale difference. I really like her this way.

The final Mace, well, he's damn near perfect. Why Hasbro hasn't stepped up with an ultimate Mace escapes me, but if they do one, I'd suggest they steal your recipe. Nice job.

I love the normal Windu.

I also like the clones in Jedi disguise. An idea that I never thought of.

Although they look good, I just cannot wrap my head around Jedi in clone armor. Maybe its just me.

BTW, what did you do with the tact ops helmets? I could use them.

Big ups to Kirby! Truly a great.

All of your latest batch of customs are very nicely done, but My favs have to be
the clones disguised as jedi.

Very nice work on those indeed.  Great Stuff!

Sorry, I've had to work 12 hour shifts the past 3 days, and had a lot going on.  Plus my wife's aunt passed away.  Just been swamped and it's hard to find time to customize every day.

However I do have the first official preview to the next Rykrof story -

Is that 2-1B watching a commercial for TUMs?

Just kidding. This is *great* set work, CHEWIE. Did you slightly modify some of Owen's stuff there?

I hope the preview means Chapter 21's not too far away. Still, there are far more important things to tend to, and it sounds like you have your fair share of late.

Take care.

Thanks guys for the kind words and the well wishes.  Much appreciated.  I have had a lot going on lately, but that's life... this is customizing where it's a place to get away from the real world sometimes and be able to chat with you guys and enjoy each other's work, offer advice, etc.

Since I've had money problems like crazy lately, I'm retiring some more figures for the evilness of ebay.  I know some look down on that, and I'm sorry to anyone who feel that way.

These are saying their farewells.

It's a sad thing, but I understand why you've got to do it. Hope things start looking up soon.

They are very well done!

I've never sold any of my stuff- when it gets old or boring I rip it up and use it for parts.  ;D

I understand why you did it, though. I'm sure you'll make a fair amount for these.
My whole expanse...I cannot see...

I'm sorry that you have to let go of some of your customs, but you gotta put the bacon on the table I guess. :'(
