There are three types of customs all but guaranteed to please - Twi'lek chicks, astromechs, and MANDOS!!

These guys rock - nicely done.  Very interesting weapon on Jir Strog, too.

This group is my favorite:  The Walking Dead ARC Squad w/ their current Jedi "handler".  Master Nas Salin is the 4th Jedi to lead this particular team.  They've lost a Knight, then her Padawan and another Knight.  Grave wears their lightsabers and has promised himself to do so until he can personally return them to the Temple.  Commander Grave believes that Master Salin will last for the long haul...mostly because he's the only Jedi Grave has seen wield a blaster on a regular basis.  The team is armed with customized primary blasters and each carries a matched pair of sidearms (except for Deadboy...he HAS to be different).

Group Shot w/ Jedi


Group Shot, buckets off, no Jedi


General Nas Salin.  Jedi Master. 



Commander Grave.  Sharpshooter.




Tombstone, team tech/medic/comm spec.




Ghost, jet trooper.  Cybernetic eye.




Deadboy, demolitions.  Left side of face burned in an accident.  But, wow...it was kriffing FUN!




The team's custom weaponry

The other day I was painting one of these custom droids in purple and my son commented that "it looks like A Decepticon drone!".  Well, what'd ya know?  He's on to something.  So I finished the one in purple and then did the next one in Autobot red.  This is the kind of Star Wars/Transformer cross-over I prefer.  I give you: TF-1 and TF-2, hailing from the planet Cybertron on the furthest reaches of Wild Space...these two autonomous robots come Core-ward in a mission of exploration.  Although...one of them secretly harbors plans for conquest.

  Cybertronians TF-1 and TF-2.

    Metatron, from the Decepticon Clan

He was right; they do look quite reminiscent.  Might I ask where you got the decals for the chest?  (Unless they were already on the figure itself...)

I got the decals from reprolables.com.  They do lots of Transformer repro stickers (vintage, modern, Bayverse).
