Very cool sith, both of them. What did you use for the crotch armor on the second one?

The next eight or so customs are all par t of a story line.  I will continue to reveal one a day until they are all posted.

First up a Rodian.  A little about the storyline is posted on my blog.





CloneSniper78 - that armor is from an Army of Darkness figure I bought on clearance.  It is a very handy piece.  Wish I had more.

The Rodian looks nice; like your update you gave to your earlier Sith acolyte.  I've seen him before on your blog and always liked his design; the update is even better!

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

Another Rodian from the photo novel concept I created.



Thanks for the comments.  One more Rodian politician tomorrow and then we move on to the bad guys (or are the politicians the bad guys?)

Here is the last Rodian politician from this series.  Probably my favorite of the bunch.  The head is an old Tri-gate/Slayer Design Studios product.  Not sure if it is still available. 



Tomorrow we will begin to see some of the other players in this story.

Thanks for all the comments and taking the time to check out my blog.

You know you are the bad guy when you find yourself carrying a bomb.

Here we have a Rodian insurgent.



This particular figure was inspired by a piece of Hasbro art.  I've included a link to the Rebelscum photo archive.  Hopefully that isn't inappropriate....
