Thanks everybody.  I wasn't so sure about this one.  The body wasn't Star Wars enough for me, but I really liked the way the head looked on it.  I tried to boil and pop her arms off and wanted the legs from a Star Wars action figure, but the torso couldn't easily be modified.  I may revisit her later to give her a Star Wars body.
You know, I think she is fine the way she is...still looks very Star Warsy to me!
Again excellent job on her brother!  :D

DD: I like the way this one turned out too. 

The Eeth Koth head worked really well; this is one mutha you don't want to meet in a dark alley on Nar Shaddaa!

Great work!

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

Nice job on Bones! I bet you had fun with that one.

Definitely did :). It feels really good to see that he was so well received.  I was a little intimidated making my first clone custom after seeing how well clones have been done by the customizers here at the Yards, but all the comments left by everyone have made me feel a whole lot better about the attempt.  Thanks everybody!

I just got him today I plan on doing a video shout out to you tomorrow! I will update you when I upload.  He looks even more phenomenal in person.

ZABRAK FEMALE

Just a quick and easy custom to keep the blog current.  Nothing fancy, but a good custom for beginners that requires very little modification.

Definitely did :). It feels really good to see that he was so well received.  I was a little intimidated making my first clone custom after seeing how well clones have been done by the customizers here at the Yards, but all the comments left by everyone have made me feel a whole lot better about the attempt.  Thanks everybody!

So glad you got him and you like the way he came out.  His colors got washed out a bit when I did the photoshoot so I'm glad you thought he looked better in person too.  I mentioned in somebody's thread that the photoshoot didn't go well.  Hopefully your video will do him justice.  Glad you liked the packaging.  I tried to build the anticipation,  Thanks so much for the comic.  It was the only one from the Clone Wars series that Elias didn't have.

If I cover it with paper or use a hole puncher on a piece of plastic and put the little plastic circle over the hole before I fill it, it could maybe work.  I just have to be careful that the Fixit doesn't touch the moving plastic in the hole, or it will cement the joint completely.
