LOL.  Thanks, WB. I'm workin' on it. Hopefully by the end if next week I'll at least have the squad done. Lotsa work to get a 10 man team and support gear done.

Ok, Darth Necrosis is on the front page. It has been a long day. You don't even want to know how many times I started out to do this only to hit a brick wall with the internet today.

Thanks, Tamer!  Hopefully I'll get my camera sorted out and can retake some pics of my recent items.

Quick custom Gladiator Droid.  The torso and arms are from two "I dunno" figs, the legs are from a Magnadroid, the backpack is from an Armored Cobra Commander from WAY back when and the blades are from a Toybiz Wolverine (also from WAY back).

Gladiator Droid RR-X19g "Falco".  Built on a smaller frame than most Galdiator Droids, the RR-X series relied on speed and agility rather than brute force or firepower.  Extermely fast and maneuverable, equipped with a repulsor generator backpack most owners equipped the RR-X series with bladed weapons.  The unit 19g, known as "Falco" was hailed throughout the fighting circuit and was a six time Universal Fighting Droid Champion.  Equipped with a matched set of Phriik vibroblades, Falco is a force to be reckoned with in the ring.





The legs are slightly two narrow for the body, but I feel that helps enforce the "bird" motif found in the head and armor hardpoints on the arms and torso.

I went on a gladiator kick a while back.  I just love the theme.  This gladiator droid is awesome.  Great job!

Your TOR customs look stellar.  Great parts use and execution across the board!

Interested in seeing how they all turn out...the TOR trooper looks good already!

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