Nice!!!!

 I love that paint job, I thought about trying one of these and then I remembered my hands shake like a Parkinson's patient when I try and paint lines like that.

I'm curious as well, what kind of paint is that, and how did you make the lines so straight?

Thanks, SLC.

My straight lines are a combination of taping off certain areas as a guide, and then using an exacto to trim off any flaws and make the lines as straight as possible. I use Tamiya acrylics on all my customs...I've tried other brands, but found Tamiya to be best suited to my tastes.

Next...I may face my dreaded nemesis who's defeated me twice...the green clone!

Interesting. I've never built a diorama (and although I may someday, I have no immediate plans to do so) but this seems like an invaluable tool for doing so.

Sweet mother of moses in a motorcycle sidecar! Those are some of the finest customs I've ever seen! 

First off, Tarful looks amazing. I swear, it looks like he stepped right out of the film. I've long been a vocal fan of Chewie's drybrushing ability, but never is it more apparent how good it is than when it's on a Wookiee. You've done some amazing wooks, but this one may well be the finest you've ever done.

Being partial to Mandalorians, I LOVE this custom. The mix of parts is terrific, and believe me, I'm going to copy this one right down to the paint job. I can't wait to see this guy in action; I just hope he lasts longer than the previous Mandalorians. What I'd like to see: Rykrof and Bledda really mix it up hand to hand. We've never seen Rykrof have to rely on his fists, and I think this guy would be THE opponent for such a struggle, even if it ends without a decisive victor. (i.e. Ralbarr intervenes and punts Bledda like a football.)

Damn. That's all I have to say. Just damn.

Addendum: Is that a deluxe Jango armor plate over the chest of the Mandalorian? Sweeeeet.

CHEWIE: Thanks for the compliment! This one took about six hours from start to finish, accomplished over several days. Most of the time on this was because one small part needed to be painted, then he needed to be left to dry before I tried again. I messed up several times, and had to scrape the paint in certain spots where my hand trembled.

Aaron_D: You want one? You may get your chance. I got laid off yesterday (although there is a very good chance I may be hired back in two weeks...long story.) So if things get desperate, I may put some customs up on E-Bay.

Hey all,

Just finished my latest clone. This one was the biggest pain yet, a lot of line work that had to be straight.

Still, I'm happy with the finished product. What do you think?

Hey there, Jedi Defenders!

I'm currently trying to vary up my Wookiee army a bit...and as such, I threw together this guy.
 


The thing is, now that I've got him all together, I really have no idea what color scheme I want to use on him. So, I decided to seek the wisdom of my friends over here on Jedidefender!

Let me know what you think!

You guys are driving me crazy with these Clone Commander customs. I have yet to find any of these guys. GRRR! Seriously though, these look great.

Jediknight: Bly looks awesome. Not sure what mistakes you made...he looks great from the pic. Totally ready to shoot Aayla in the back! 

Chewie: Like I said over at RS, this guy is a lot of fun, and totally perfect as a character you can imagine in the nebulous period between ROTS and ANH. I like the touch-ups you added to the VOTC trooper. Gonna have to do mine now.

I think that's the REAL Christopher Lee photoshopped with articulation and superimposed on the background...

Damn, that looks simply amazing! The flesh tones on his face are so realistic...I'll bet if we looked closely at his hands, he's even have liver spots!

Simply incredible!
