@ Commander_Kurgan: Thanks for the comments; I'm really happy with this guy too...I like the AT-RT body for a base and would like to see what I can get out of it the next time I decide to use it.

@ Mungo: Thanks for checking in; it's nice to see you back!

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

I received one from Clint awhile back...gonna see what i can do with it when I come back to--possibly--update this guy in the future.  Got some other figs on my plate right now though!

That clone bounty is really cool. I've been thinking that Fordo head would be good for a custom Boba Fett.

It's been a good, long while since I updated with a custom fig; been working on lots, but most remain unfinished on my workbench.  Kids, school, new house: not much time for the hobby!

Anyway, here's a WIP I've been tinkering with for the last 6 months: a Starkiller (Corellian Flight Suit) from TFU.
I've gone through about 18 different pairs of upper legs until I found ones that looked the best.  Finding the right pieces for the biceps and forearms was by far the most difficult task for me in getting the fig to this point.  I have yet to add the third strap to the front of his flight jacket and, though it's not screen accurate, I'm thinking of leaving the collared piece I used because it just looks good to me.  Next step: finding time to paint this dude up!  Thanks for taking a look!

Looking good so far.  It looks like you selected a great combination of parts.
We had 5 POA in '78...

Yep, this is a total kitbash of parts.  Literally took forever to get the ones I needed or find ones that fit what I was looking for.  I am a perfectionist as well, so that didn't help matters any!   ;)

Awesome!  That's the best looking WIP!  Can't wait to see the finished product.  Is it ok to ask for the recipe?
