It's the hangerbay droid! Nice work on that one. He appears well used.

well, crap, I don't even know where to start in this big 5 page thread of great work.   


Thire, Jek, and other clone are far superior to Hasbro's versions.  Great work on all of them, they look flawless.   I'm loving all the variations on the clones you've done, especially Gree's 41st sniper and the hangardbay'd picture someone else did!   Different and random clone trooper designs are half the reason I think that the Clone Wars era is as popular as it is now and it will fuel its popularity for many years to come I think.  I'm crazy about seeing customs of different clones that contribute to that.

Your Jabba's palace customs are a perfect supplement to the ones Hasbro has made, it's too bad they can't pump them out faster so your dioramas would be closer to complete.      Do you plan to do more Jabba palace denizens?

Thumbs up for making the trio of human guards from the Special Edition scenes of Docking Bay 94, especially the dude with the gray stocking cap on his head.

Thanks NFC. I wish I could finish up my palace. My son moved into my Star Wars room and I am out of space for it now. I want to build some shelves and make some small sectional dios.

Um... about your new droid....
to me he looks like a turkey fryer droid....
and I didnt realize they had turkeys...
Great work, nice innovation.
Brown wash indeed.

DING DING DING! You are correct  it reminds me of Julian's character in his avitar/youtube openers.

Oh yes, I love that new (old looking droid) looks like a real throwback to the old republic, and now that you mention it, it does kind of remind me of my avtar.

Love it Luke!

for tiny drill bits go to wall-mart or lowes and look with the dremel stuff, they'll have super small drill bits for the dremel... of course, they may not fit in your hand drill....

OK guys, today I received my parts from Clint, YAYEE! So I want to put together a cool crew of Clones and this is what I have put together for now. Not sure about the Engineer body but I like the helmet. What do you think about these being a team that would have actually been put together? Any ideas?

[Clonehead]

Yes, I love seeing my parts on other people's figures. Thanks for posting that pic, L.E.
Looks like a big team to me. Yep, that engineer always seemed like he had some armored breasticles to me. He could warrant some kind of chest covering. I wonder if the cw spacetrooper chest slip-on armor with the pistol holster would fit and look cool?

[Luke Sprywalker]

So I was about to paint these helmets and my sew on fasteners were sitting on top of my paint and that light bulb went off again. I am trying to make this veers helmet removable from the clone head. I sanded the clone head Clint had shaved down until it looked smooth then recesed a hole in the top of the clone head and glued the snaps on each part.






Lets hope this works...

[TheCloneCommander]

good stuff!! great idea LS, liking where you are going with this...

[Tamer]

neat idea with those buttons.

[Luke Sprywalker]

It was a great idea but it just didn't work. I tried super glue, then gorilla glue, then hot glue. Every time I try to seperate  the 2 helmets the bottom snap pops off the clone head and stays attached to the button in the helmet. Oh well I tried...better luck next time.

[Tamer]

Sorry to hear it didn't work. It was a great idea though. You customs guys sure do think of some neat tricks, thats for sure.

[Clonehead]

I was wondering if that would work. Better glue those two together and just make a helmet that you can swap out.
Did you check to see if your pin vise screws apart.
  I bought one that has double ended bit heads that you take the vise apart to flip over.

[spudafett]

hey luke, instead of the button you should try some realy tiny magnets!  that oughta work....
