So I've been on this big Republic Commando kick. I've read both books, great reads by the way, and have been taking note of characters that I'd like to do customs of in the future. Of course a Black Matte armored Omeag squad is tops on my list, but thats some time away. Triple Zero is full of great ideas, and I've gone with one. I was enamored by the idea that the Null ARCs and RC squads had a training seargant that would do anything to them. Kal Skirata has this aura about him that just leaps off of the pages and makes you believe that the Clones we see in the movies are more than just "wet battle droids." I had to figure out what I could use to make him. The only picture I've found is on the Wikicities site, and it's not very good. So I am winging it a bit here. So far, I've used three figures. The upper torso and arms is Cpt Panaka from the EP I line, and the legs are from EP III Plo Koon. I love the way the boots look so I had to use them. I spun his belt part backwards so the saber clip isn't seen, but is still visible on the back. The head I lucked into. I had bought a Salvo GI Joe figure for his big ol missle launcher, had him laying around while studying the Kal page at Wikicites, and lo behold, he bore enough resemblence that I went with it. Anywhoo...I'll stop rambling now...here is what I have so far. My wife asked if I was going to leave his one arm blue, I said no, I just don't feel like painting any more tonight. <rambling stops now>
Comments, gripes, questions....you know what to do...
