That is awesome! The detail is so life-like, and the ash burns on his tunic look to-scale.

I see what you mean about the hands... will acrylics stick to the hands? You did such a great job on the face, I'm sure you could match the hands. Minor quibble, though. This is a great, great piece.

I use bits from old mecha kits... so long as the kits are styrene (as most are), you should be able to use any part for almost any application.

The problem is you might spend $15 - $40 for a few greebly bits.

For a more cost effective option, try WAVE Option parts:

Or Koto option parts:

These are looking cool. As you know, I like that shade of gray on Clones. :)

I already commented on your Veers helmet clone... see your other thread.

As to the B.C. terrorist, he almost has a mime quality about him right now. Perhaps put a coat on him or do something to vary the color of his clothing. I like the white face and facial marking, but I'd rather see it staring back from a more varied ensemble than all black. I look forward to seeing how he develops.

Me likey! The mix of parts is a good Prequel/OTC blend. I like the clips or pouches on the chest like that. Presumably this guy could or would operate the heavy gear which would require him to sit down, so bringing the supplies off the waist makes a lot of sense.

Good job.

CHEWIE, I love how it reminds me of the Vintage Troop Carrier. 

Great job!

I was thinking the same thing re: the vintage troop carrier!

I've looked at these toys on many occassions and tried to come up with ways to make them work as SW vehicles. You managed to actually do what my imagination could not. :) Super effort, CHEWIE! Thanks, as always, for sharing it with us.

Fritz-

Probably the most realistic scuba trooper to date. You have on-board tanks, what looks to be rebreathers mounted to the helmet, and no excess armor on the limbs that would impair swimming.

Thanks for the comments, Brent. Yeah, once I had him painted, I thought he looked more like a worker droid than a killing droid. :) I'll be putting him to use accordingly.

Yeah, he's been reassigned, CHEWIE.

I know he's something of an oddball, but I wanted something really different to work on. :)

Hopefully I can work him into a PN where he will make sense.

Smarty -

COOL! Perhaps a little less soft goods, but I love this concept. The Grievous head as modified looks really, really good.

Good stuff, CK! I saw these previously at another site, but I mostly lurk there.

I love the red Mando and the female Mando. You did a nice job of staying true to your source material.

Looking forward to seeing more...

That's amazing, man! Always nice to see a fresh take on a classic character. And the fact that he's SA fits nicely with Tarzan... perhaps some action shots of him swinging through the jungle? :)

Nice as ever, hemble!

So I re-thought this Xevox custom... :P After I painted him I was satisfied I'd made him compatible with the Star Wars universe, but when I put him with my battle droids he just looked... off.


Poor clone...


Photoshop floating... S4-71 was designed to move quickly around salvage sites and to pick over wrecked or captured ships; S4-71 isn't used conventionally...


With a highly articulated neck, S4-71 can maneuver his head into many tight places... and he can intimidate even the most hardened enemy


Ready to fire...


A stylized look at S4-71's owners. Check out the rest of this thread if you don't know who he's standing with.

Wow, Phruby! This came out exceptionally well. This is one of the better Microlady conversions I've ever seen.

Congratulations on a job well done, man!

Oh, he's going to be beaten up pretty good.

The head is throwing me off a bit. I need to add some bits and pieces and rough it up...

I think when he's alongside other droids it might be a bit clearer how he fits in. :)

Yeah, the paint will be the big thing. I have a small spider droid I'll show him off with after he's painted. :P
