Great colors on the astromech.  I can totally relate to your pollen dilemma.  I had to repaint the Jabba Dancer "Mira Ya" when her skirt got stuck to her legs.  Luckily I was able to get all the paint out of the skirt, but I had to do a complete repaint after I had just completed the figure.  At some time or another it happens to us all.

ahh yes, the joys of spray painting outdoors.  I try to find a large cardboard box to use as a painting "station" and then paint inside my garage...  I tend to have the same problems with dust and dirt blowing onto the project as its drying so I try to protect it best I can.   Worst thing I've ever had was a grasshopper got stuck to a vehicle I painted and dried into the paint....

ah, you have to see it in an artists way: there is one painting of vanGogh he painted on the beach and you can see all the sand - blown up from the wind - that dried into the wet paint. And its no flaw which reduces the prize of it  ;D

Wow, thank you all so much for the positive reinforcement and help! You guys are awesome ;)

@L.E.: Lol, it's hard to spray living in Florida, you have to either do it in the early morning or at dusk when you're attacked by mobs of mosquitoes. During the afternoon the sun is way too hot, but it's always seems to be 100% humidity :) I will have to try the all brush technique on the next one, thanks!

@wraithnine: Can you please elaborate a little more on this immersion tank and airing cupboard :D

@Spudafett: Unfortunately I don't have a garage, but I will try the box method. Those pesky grasshoppers, my yard is grasshopper heaven, they love to eat my gardens, but if I found one stuck to my custom we would have a problem!

@Art: I plan on making it part of his story, so when I publish the finished pics it will mention his texture. I never knew that about that piece, that makes it even cooler ;D

@hangarbay: Of course you may! I am honored that you think so, thank you :D

For the guys that joked...watch out!!! For the boys who were supportive, you have a new allie ;) This Ashoka, is not to be taken lightly. She's very deceiving and inviting with her pink stripes and Hello Kitty insignia. Don't be fooled, like a black widow she draws you in and takes you out!!! Enjoy ;D

P.S. I don't want to forget that her High Impact Sniper Rifle was made by KesselRunImports ;)







Brilliant!! Bloody brilliant!!  ;D

Awesome.  I thought we were going to have to wait until October when Season 4 of Clone Wars begins.

Lol, I'm not that lame ;) I would never make my fans wait so long, plus there's no way I could stay away that long...it's been hard enough for 2 weeks!!!
