Awesome Jedi General.

Sweet i made the front page. Im glad everyone likes the General.  I lost the tip of my finger making that one. luckly its growing back.

I really liked Spudafett's idea of making himself as a figure. So i made myself.

This one was really easy to do and so far its my favorite. I dont have a back ground story but figured by the way he looks he could fit into and time period. I think he looks awsome as a jedi but also could be anything else i want. Just got to slap a blaster in his hand. Im thinking about putting a holster on the robes...what do you guys think?

Looks cool to me. I think I recognize the paris snake eyes trenchcoat but could you give us a recipe on the rest of this figure? Where did that head come from?

[spudafett]

awesome!  looks great.   I think it'd look better as a smuggler or thug than jedi... something about the trenchcoat just doesn't say "jedi warrior of the peace"... lol
 
a holster would be a great addition.  Something I've been wanting to try is adding the holsters from a CW rex, or other clone's kama to the trenchcoat.  That's something you might give a try.  IDK how it'd look though...

I also think you either need to repaint the trenchcoat or match the arms to the trenchcoat, it just seems off color wise somehow...

are the arms of the figure from a TFU Rom Kota fig? 

[luman]

Clonehead you are correct. The trench coat is from snake eyes. the body and the shoulder armor are from the kota figure and the head is from the jedi version of the Evolutions Darth Vader's Secert Apprentice.

Spudafett i was thinking about paint him differetly but i dont knw what colors. I want them tobe dark colors though, because i want him to seem as though he is a little tained by the dark side and he has seen some stuff. I don't know just yet though.

[clones are awesome]

I realy like that clone commander.

[spudafett]

might I suggest some colors?  I would use flat black on the coat and arms to make it look more like natural leather.  then use dark browns, that are almost black, for the tunic and under robes.  Testors acrylic has a brown I realy like that is titled "leather".  Mixing it with a little flat black makes an EXCELENT dark brown leather look.   go even farther by dry brushing the "leather" areas with a dark flat great to give it some depth, but not too much....
and for the small parts of armor, a dark red or dark blue maybe?  depending on your favorite colors... heck even a dark deep green would be good.  And I would also use semi-gloss or gloss paint for the armor, to give it that distinction of looking metal.

WOW. Thats a fantastic Jedi general and i am really loving that custom jedi of yourself!! Cant wait to see more of your stuff!!!

[Tamer]

That is an awesome self custom. I could see some type of half armor mask on this self cast too. Talk about menacing!

[luman]

I made this one for my brother.I noticed he kept eyeing my othe customs so i figured i would suprise him with this one. Im really hppy with the way it turned out.

[FialaFernbrugg]

that is a great custom luman

It looks like a variation of a Clone Assassin

These are some great looking customs luman, the clone trooper paint job is a very clever idea, not the usual, so well done there...and the Jedi general is another very worthy custom, a great mix of parts.

[clones are awesome]

That is a great custom.

[Clonehead]

That one turned out sharp, Luman.
