Thanks, GS, for taking a look!

Here's the parts I used:

head = Corran Horn (Legacy pilot and droid 2-pk)
torso = Han Solo - Medal Ceremony (VTC)
left bicep/forearms = Death Star Trooper (TAC)
right shoulder pauldron/armor = EVO Trooper (TAC)
hands = Rum Sleg (TLC)
upper legs = Tol Skorr (TLC comic pack) modded @ knee to accommodate lower legs
lower legs = Nicanas Tassu (TLC Geonosis Arena 2-pk)
feet = Major Panno (TLC)
chest strap = plastic cable tie, painted
holster = Bespin Luke (TVC)
blaster = Han Solo - Sandstorm (TLC) -- modded (i.e. scope removed)





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

I haven't been able to get my computer out of storage until after we move, but found some pics of older customs I had in an e-mail account that I hadn't posted here.

Here's my take on a former Jedi (post-Order 66) working the lower levels of Coruscant, Jax Pavan from the Coruscant Nights series.  I kept his look really simple, as I was just getting started in customizing at the time.  This was also one of my stabs at customizing new weapons, as his blaster is cobbled together from a few different pieces.   I'll probably go back to re-do him at some point:





Is that possibly an adult version of Lorn Pavan's son mentioned in the "Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter" novel?

Yep, it is.  He's much older in the Coruscant Nights series, after Order 66.

If you aren't into the e-book thing, I think they just announced that they're selling the series all in one paperback as a 3-for-1 deal...

Thanks for taking the time to check this guy out...I've been practicing my paint touch-ups, washes, etc., and I think I got this one 'right'.  So, I'm happy...for now!
