Astros, now?

Huh...you probably sing and dance and are married to a supermodel, too!!!

I'm guessing the sun always shines brighter when you walk outside.

Nice work, by the way.

Cheers Fiala,

Funny you should refer to R4-U9, I was talking to Jay (Wraith9) today, and he pointed out that it is an R5 unit, not an R4 unit DOH!

I can't tell you how many re-paints that droid has had...It's been like my practice model.

oh ok
I'm unversed in the astromech history (sorry Jay  )
It's good to have a astromsch directory here on the yards. I'll learn the unit names as soon as I've some time.

Man with all these awesome droids...I better get painting.

[wraithnine]

your droids are now in the directory

Hiya everyone,

Here is the 1st image of Rancor Squad, who'll soon be appearing in the  X-Wing Alliance web-comic.

[Jedi Minstrel]

oooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Clonehead]

Beautiful work, Jules. That image would make a great recruiting poster.

[Phatty]

Those look awesome, Jules!  I like to see an alien leading a squad as opposed to another Human.  I don't really know why, I guess it's because you don't see it too often.

coool

[wraithnine]

seriously minty mate

[hangarbay94]

Well, after weeks of work getting the next set of customs and dio's ready for the continuation of the X-Wing Alliance comic I am finally ready to introduce some of the characters you'll be seeing over the coming weeks and months.

A special thanks has to go to Wraith9 who provided some of the droids to go with the characters, don't they look awesome!

So without further ado, here is my mega update....

[wraithnine]

glad to be of a assistance my friend , looks awesome!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Jules you are blowing me away today! What an awesome crew you have for Green Squadron! Neesoo Graww being my favorite. Is that a vintage B-wing helmet he is rocking? All of these look great and my fave non pilot is the weapons technician. Great design and really like the colors and the helmet. Also loving the astromechs! Just wondering if Jay's droid is now flying with Ace or will R2-H14 have the honor? I also love the ifo you gave us. I might have to print these out for me and Jaxon they remind me of the file cards that come with GI Joe figures. Very well done my friend and I can't wait to see the squad in action.

[hangarbay94]

LS, thanks buddy I'm glad you like these as I'm a huge fan of your Rogue Squadron customs.

In answer to your droid query, the droid pictured with Ace was a gift from Wraith9 and it is destined to be presented to Ace by Admiral Nammo of the Cruiser Defiance, when he joins the rebellion.

Cool eh!

Jules, may I suggest dark sunglasses, a ball cap, sunscreen, and limited exposure upon your reemergence into the daylight?  It's obvious that you've been squired away in your laboratory, toiling away endlessly on your awesome pieces of work.  IT's not healthy to spend that much time indoors like that.  If you get burnt too bad, seek medical attention immediately, and drink plenty of fluids.

A great line-up my friend.  Great stories, showcased like only you could do.  Simply awesome!
