congrats to both you and your missus   10 lbs  bloody hell!  bet she loved you during the birth ! ;D

Wasn't as bad as you would think - plus she gave birth at home with no meds!! But I've had several friends tell me, "Your wife didn't give birth to a baby, she gave birth to a toddler!"

Momma and the baby are doing just fine, so we are really proud of our baby "Jules."

11 kids?! You are creating your own Army of the Republic. Awesome, we need more Star Wars Converts and I am sure you give em a good dose. Do any of your older children like SW?

Congrats once again.

Well, we are "blended family" i.e. Mine (4), Hers (5), and Ours (2). My two oldest step-kids are already grown and out of the house - 1 in college, 1 has a family of his own.

My two oldest sons (Caleb & Chaice) liked Star Wars at one time. Caleb had some Ep. 1 figures and Chaice had quite a bit of Ep. 3 figures. However, they both grew out of it and are no longer interested in Star Wars. They are into school sports (Caleb - tennis; Chaice - football), and air soft guns.

However, knowledge of Star Wars has been benificial for them from time to time in school because some of their dork teachers make Star Wars references and only my kids have a clue what they are talking about.

Re: jlw515 Custom Figures Update 7-3-12 Ceremonial Luke & Gen. Cody
« Reply #78 on: July 03, 2012, 08:34:15 AM »


Ceremonial Luke with articulated hips.
Head - Resurgence of the Jedi Luke
Upper body - Ceremonial Luke
Legs - Bespin Han
Belt - VOTC Bespin Luke (the first issue)
Feet - Baron Fel (comic pack)

I wanted a Ceremonial Luke (or Episode 4.5 Luke) with articulated hips. This is the main outfit for Luke in my photonovel, and I wanted Luke to have better articulation so that he could better ride a swoop or kick someone in the head.

The Bespin Han legs/pelvis fits perfectly with Ceremonial Luke. However this made Luke too tall, so I trimmed down the boots from the bottom at the skinny ankles. Then I glued the feet from Baron Fel. Now Luke is the same height as Bespin Luke & Jedi Luke.

Here is General Cody, which I introduced in the latest chapter of Vader's Quest.

The head is Jango Fett painted to give him some grey hair. The figure is made from a mix of Commander Cody & Sandtrooper parts. The head and helmet are interchangeable. The shoulder pauldron is from the POTJ Sandtrooper. I like those pauldrons better!!

Loving the updates to the ceremonial Luke...such an easy fix to that figure and one that, I admit, I've already 'borrowed' and used. 

Cody looks great in this incarnation and you're right: the POTF pauldron does fit a lot better.  Nice work!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks for the comments!!

I was pleasantly surprised that the Bespin Han legs swapped out so easily with the Ceremonial Luke legs. Quick easy fix.

I loved that figure when I saw it in the PN. The helmet is an absolute winner!

That is a great looking Luke! I wish I had an extra Han to do the same thing!

I just found another Bespin Han. Now I know why! I liked them both though and I have been told I am clone biased I put the Luke on the front page. Thanks for sharing.
