Helix88,

Your Gunner girl is a very creative custom.  Your use of parts is inspired and the execution looks great.

An ROC scarlet figure i think, the hips are from a young Beru Lars. I just spliced them together, and the armor is add ons from scrap gundam  parts.

That gunner is just sweet. I can't wait to see the next squadmate. Did you say you were doing up an At-At Gunner?

Uh, is this a trick question? I am all in.

Now back to the update. I like it. It looks just like your art. I didn't know you had it put together already. that helmet looks pretty seamless to me. On the front page.

very nice figure helix.  I've missed seeing your work.  Always impressive.  I realy like this one's color scheme, all for one thing.  the visor color is just throwing it off for me.  The entire figure has an awesome earthy tone to it and the bright neon green visor is just too stark a contrast in my mind.  I'd have gone with a dark silver or dark green instead of the neon color.  You could still do green, just not that bright...

that critique aside, the rest of this figure is an awesome combo of parts.  How do you like that new bespin luke's hips?  I've yet to pick up that figure and now I'm thinking I realy need to. 

The belts and holsters pluss the cloth kama you've got here pull this fig together nicely.   I also like the changes you made to the jetpack, the shortened missile and cut off nozzles change the pack just enough to make it look original but still that classic "fett pack" look. 

I realy like the visor.  I would have probably just used a visor from the clone figure but the scratch made visor you've come up with looks great.  How did you construct it if you don't mind me asking?

i still might repaint the visor it was green then light blue then back to green, so its still up in the air the visor was made from a NVG mount from the ROC pitt commando and some scrap plastic, i had it glued on at first in a way that it would stay up if i pushed it up. but went to your pin trick in the end the worst problem i have with the fig is keeping the fett body in those luke hips
