Welcome to the Yards!  Glad to have you!

The colors seem right for these characters, as seen in the cinematic trailer.  I really like the addition of the leather cloak you added to the smuggler: ingenious!  
Your sculpting seems headed in the right direction, but since I don't sculpt much yet, I'm not the person to ask.   :P

Personally, I'm always on the lookout for as much articulation as I can get from a custom, but still putting in as much quality workmanship as I can.   So while I'm not a fan of the PotF/PotJ figs, I think your work on for the TOR characters so far is quite good.  

Looking forward to your next update!

Thanks =) Tomorrow got my last exam, so i didn´t have much time to work, but still was able to do something.

Finished my first custom with a short story

Cade Mhor:

Cade was smuggling Terentatek spines from Kashyyyk to Nar Shaddaa when his ship crushed an asteroid. He fell unconcious to the floor of the ship. When he woke up, he was on a small medic room, lying on a bed. The last thing he remembered was falling to the ship floor.  He looked arround searching for any life form or a droid. He shouted out loud. No one was there. The place looked abandoned. He stand up and walked to the next room. Its
 was a big hall, with communicator systems , but all of them seems not to work. He explored the base, finding nothing more than empty rooms and barracks. All containers were empty too, no weapons, no datapads, no food. That place seems to be an outpost for some organization , because a symbol of a face with feathers in the hair was everywhere. The last door he opened was the hangar door. There were two Mandalorian ships, so he guessed that was a mandalorian abandoned base.  He boarded the first ship and searched in the computer ships some information about this place or where he was. He find out it was really a mandalorian base, and he was in a moon of Alaris.  The last time the ship departed was 300 years before, so that was the Mandalorian wars. Cade checked the channels searching for anyone on that planet, there there was no one out there.  He took of the ship and started flying the moon surface. There was no trace of his ship or the crew. He decided to go to Nar Shaddaa to see if his crew was able to get there, but they never arrived.  Someone saved his life and later disspeared, that was for shure. That was really smugller luck... In honor to this person, he now always talk about this story, and use the symbol he found on the base. He have asked mandalorians, jedis, databases and everything looking for  some information about that symbol, but no one knows anything about that symbol or that outpost...

Post by: Kaleb on July 11, 2011, 11:50:18 AM
Here is the ARF trooper finished

"short" story
I am CC 3003, better known as "Barret". I am sergant, serving the 212th Attack Battalion... actually, I was. I fought on teth, muunilinst, zaadja, reyloth, sarrish and the second battle of geonosis, and many other great battles. I can´t forget the orange stripes in my mate´s armor. But that was before the Mission to Kashyyyk. We were starting the attack when our Gunship was shot down. I was the first one desending on the cable, so i was able to jump to a huge branch if a nearby tree, but couldn ´t hang tight from it. The fall was slow and harmfull. When i got to the ground i had several bones broken and felt unconcius.I donpt know if it were hours or minutes, the only thing i know it was like hell. Felt like burning from inside, hear the shots everywhere, felt the heat of the battle, but i was like a mile away from it. Medics took me to the command center and i was completly recovered in a few days. But there was one thing i was affraid to ask, and i didnpt remember, Why we where figthing this war? Were we hired?I knew i was a clone, but why i had to fight this, that was not my war. i thoug the jedi there would be able to answer my question without punishing me. When i was on my way, heard an order from my commander, he said "execute order 66". What the hell was that? I searched in my memories but nothing was there about order 66. When i heard some ARF troopers talking about putting an ambush to Quilan Voss, I realized that was about order 66, killing the jedi. I felt strange from inside , i just wanted to ran from that place, so I took my cammo gear, some others provisions and run into the forest. After a few minutes some wookies tend me an ambush. They where pointing at me with their bowcaster. I was very lucky to know a little bit of Shyriiwook, so i could understand what they where saying, I explained i retired from the armny, i was running because i was afraind of that order of killing the jedi. So, the wookie acced not to kill me, but they took me as a prisioner. I was held in a small cage, until the chief came. He asked me many question, strange question about the meaning of life and other things. When he was over they explained me what was happening. The republic betrayed the jedi, and all the clones were ordered to kill them, and all resistance. They were able to save yoda, who scaped in a small pod. They asked me if I wanted to fight with them to defend kashyyyk. It was strange. I was now betraying my brothers for a cause i didn´t matter about, defending their home world. But, was that teh same i was doing before? i was a clone, i was made to fight for something i didn´t matter and that has no importance for me. I was forced to do that. Now it was different, I was choosing to fight it, so i make the cause mine. Get scared my old mates, because sargent Barret is now figthing for a real cause, and that is to be feared...

"Alpha 31"  Phoenix  : one of the one hundrer alhpa class clone troopers. Expert in risky demolition missions. His nickname comes when in his first mission, to blow a separatist ship in the first battle of geonosis, he destroyed it, but could`t scape from the explotion. everyone thougth he was dead, but when they where searching for any survivors (not expecting that alpha 31 was alive) , they found him, rising from the ashed. That´s why the  rescue team leader called him "Phoenix", he was born again from the ashes.

Thanks all =) I am glad you liked the customs. I hope I can make some time to finish the other customs I haven´t finshed yet (yavin 4 luke with small modifications, trooper custom, a jedi who survived to the order 66 and also my first mando  ;D )
JediMindtrix, I covered the  head bandana with cotton thread and then some dry and wet brush.
