Only two more (Slag & Sludge) to go!  I have an idea for Slag (triceratops) that will tie into his beast mode, but I have NO idea what I'm going to do w/ Sludge (brontosaurus).

Make Sludge a Kaminoan!

I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Thanks, e'rybody!  While I like the Idea of a Kaminoan Mando...that is WAY beyond my capabilities.  It would take loads of sculpting to get armor to fit right.  Anyhow, here is sum'mo'!

Mag "Gears" Azumo, Mando droid specialist, with heavy weapons platform backpack.  Vehicle-grade blaster on one side, self-targeting proton torpedoes on the other.  The dish is capable of spinning 360.





His two droid helpers, Spanner the pit droid w/ upgraded cognitive module and Spider the custom build.



This Mando was made several years ago, went back to update the paintjob w/ weathering and such.  My older customs are all "clean", like Hasbro's figs used to be...before we both learned how to weather.  As a side-note...I really gotta have a look @ my camera settings.  My pics usually are more clear than this current batch.  Suggestions welcome!

You took what was probably a bad factory paint job to begin with,and made him look weathered,and detailed,then gave him some cool accessories.I applaud anyone,who can make a PoTJ or PoTF figure look that good.the droids are very cool as well.awesome as always. ;D

Thanks, JMT...here is another POTF Mando, first customized when it was new (forever ago!).  Recently upgraded w/ weathering.  The droid was originally posted earlier in this thread w/ a group of astromechs I'd done...here he is w/ his master.

Saam Kolsot: code-breaker, data-splicer and comms expert for the Cuy'val Dar, with trusty astromech Data.





I hate how my pics are turning out lately.  His armor is a metallic purple, flightsuit is grey and both have high/lowlights in the accompanying spectrum.  I'll try to fiddle with my camera settings and see if I can get some better shots.  If so, I'll repost some.

Another custom member of the Cuy'val Dar.  Karen Traviss mentions that 25 of the 100 trainers hired by Jango Fett were not Mandalorians, but had experience and training necessary for the new commandos.  This is one such member.

Drell Zuhn, bounty hunter and training sergeant with the Cuy'val Dar along with his droid sidekick Frax:

Awesome figures.  Love those mandos and let me guess; the commandos on the front page are some of Durge's seven evil ex-boyfriends. ;D Ha.  But seriously, great figs.

Drell Zuhn is very cool, but I also like the pair of droids, Spanner & Spider.

Love you customs, but those junkions are just awesome. I always wanted an assortment of them from hasblo, but they never gave us formers collectors what we wanted.
