Is it the one with Omega Squad.  He looks cool but isn't that the Boba Fett based on the "Droids" cartoon?  He doesn't have a removable head, right?

Yes, that's the one.
It would be easy to give him a head and a wearable helmet, though.

Almost there.  The Republic Commando series is one of my favorite sets of books.  Just need a Walon Vau, Bessany, Laseema, Jaller and a couple minor characters. 

So much for you to be proud of here you must look at these everyday and smile in satisfaction!

OMG!!!  Exactly.  I hate it at the same time because I don't have all the characters but I made a trip to a favorite place and got some cool figures and such.  A couple will go towards the RC collection but patience is a virtue I try to practice.  I'm now considering the following along with other main characters I've listed already:
Arligan Zey (what I have now, not so great)
Nyreen "Ny" Vollen (if I can come up with something with a cross between Mirax Terrik and Aunt Baru)
Dr. Uthan
Jilka Zan Zentis
Interesting...you know how it goes, you start on one road and next thing you know, it's exploded into something bigger.

If you can, would you please post larger pics of your Skirata gang?
I'd love to see more details of all those you haven't shown yet.

I'll do what I can.  My wife took the good camera.

Here's a teaser until I can use the better camera.  I've got a ton to show.  Go Spring Break!

Here are some that I've mostly gotten to over my Spring Break.

Haro Gapin, Imperial Intellegence.  Vader once spoke to him in passing when Gapin was a teenager.  Darth Vader stopped, which scared the boy and said, "Trust your instincts, always".  The one day he did not was when he accepted an invitation to accompany his commanding officer to review incidents at a "new" base orbiting the jungle moon of Endor.

Nova Blade was mercenary unit that has seen action all over the galaxy.  Made up of ex-soldiers, ex-con, and even an ex-politician.  They were once hired by Warlord Zinj but when offered a second opportunity, they refused saying that they had a prior contract.  Zinj respected their integrity.  In truth, their leader believed that it was a matter of time before Zinj would be brought down.  He felt that he didn't want to chance being at the wrong place at the wrong time.  He was right.

Etain Tur-Mukan, Jedi Knight, General, and pregnant with Darman's child.

Mereel really likes his big guns.  He dyed his hair blond but what can you do?

Here's a bounty hunter from The Old Republic video game.  No name or backstory, yet.

Walon Vau was a training sergeant for Delta and other Republic Commandos.  Harsh doesn't even begin to describe his personality and training style.  He added blue and green to his armor colors when he decided to help Kal with his quest to help all clones.  The Mandalorian sword, beskad, is what he used on Atin.

No Mird, yet.  I'm thinking how I want to do that and don't have the parts I need.  Soon.

More Vau.

Additional pics to come this weekend. 

The background used for all of these was done using spray paints in a way, I'm sure some of you would be very interested in.  Maybe I'll do a series of shots to show this one day.  I've experimented but they never came out as good as this one which was from an old roommate, not the artist, of mine. 

Tamer, still trying to figure out how to redo some group shots for you.

Very cool Walon Vau!
If you come up with an idea on how to do Mird, let me know.
I've been thinking, but couldn't find a good solution to recreate him.

Thanks.  I'll have more pics up later but it's time to do some stuff around the house before lunch.  Maybe tonight.
