If I could afford ricky's clone commando figs, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Too bad I'm poor and have even poorer sculpting ablilities. if not, I'd have done it myself

 I still think that ricky's commandoes were the best clones ever. I mean, those things are made from scratch! it's crazy!

I still like it. You gave him a striking resemblance to Christopher Lee. I wish my photo editing skills were that good

while we're on the subject, does anyone know how to make weathering look really well on like mandalorian armour? I'm trying to see how I can weather my Jatser Mereel.

One thing I've done on ships that I've customized is get an old paint brush, preferably the cheap Walmart kind.  I'll dab it in silver and then wipe of most of the excess paint on a towel or rag.  Then I'll lightly brush it over the surface.  This works pretty well for me.  For vehicles I've done it in both silver and with black for a pretty good look.  However, I haven't tried this on figures before.

That's called drybrushing, it's a very handy technique for customizing figures (just ask CHEWIE  ). 

 I've practiced my dry brushing, actually. Before that post I discovered I could give a "Scratched up armour" look by dry brushing some silver on my mandos. Thanks guys!

W00t! That's the endor background I submitted!

that's an awesome self-jedi custom, Chewie! It looks almost exactly like you, too! That's exactly like you actually!

Plus, the empire didn't spend too much on the armour to be honest. Stormie armour was more mass-produced than clone armour and made of cheap duraplast. Also, the ewoks defeating the stormies was a symbolism for George in ROTJ. He was trying to convey the message that you could be victorious without advanced technology. the Ewoks were really good at guerilla tactics.
