Thanks, guys!

[JediMerc]

The Mandos on Sith speeder project you've got going on looks very interesting...can't wait to see how those guys turn out. 

The Junkions concept sounds pretty cool; looking forward to seeing those when they're finished.

Nice concepts!

[DarthDrew]

Nice updates, I really like the camo! The silver compliments the blue scheme very well, I like it! Kratos also looks very cool, I'm digging the chains and soft goods on him!

[Tankster]

Consider my mind blown sir what a an excellant update!!!!! I really Love that Bat the exposed plate sells it

[Mungo Baobab]

Kratos looks awesome. I can't wait to read the backstory.

So, Collectors Workbench had a contest for "Gasmasks and Survival".  This is my entry.  Go vote for your favorite (as long as it is me!).

The Fiction:

After "The Incident", everything changed. Those that remained struggled daily for survival. A few faired better than most and began roaming the wastelands, offering their services to the highest bidder. The best of these was the man known only as "Fett". Wild rumors swirled about concerning his unknown past. Some claimed he was a clone of an infamous bounty hunter from days past. Others claimed he was a deserter from the Grand Army. What was known was that he was indeed the best of the best. He commanded outrageous prices for his services. He traveled the wastes alone, a nomad, with only a trained Ronto whom he called "Slave" as his companion. A man of few words, Fett was a force to be reconned with. He carries a wide assortment of weaponry (both visible and cleverly hidden) on his persona. He is never seen in public without his ever present gasmask, even when environmental controls have filtered out contagions.










Slave, faithful trained Ronto:







Thanks for tuning in!

This is great! My favorite figure from you!

[clone10]

Awesome customs man

[Mungo Baobab]

Dude...this is an awesome figure! Well done. I hope you win!

[Tamer]

Looks great to me. Time to do a front page shoutout for this and the contest vote.

I tried to share this on FB too, but it wouldn't let me yesterday.

[Darth Optimus]

Thanks, guys!  I'm very pleased with how he turned out. After I got done painting him, I sat back and noticed he was vaguely Fett colored. So I ran with it. Like an alternate universe version.

[Darksider80]

Very cool! I really like alternate universe versions of favorite characters. Creative and well executed. Keep em rolling!

[Art deWhill]

wow, awesome figure!

[BlackThorne]

Incredible figure. I liked this post-apocalyptic-fallout-style figure and his animal. By now I'm working on a Fallout Hummer and a power armor soldier.

[Darth Optimus]

Ok, so it looks like my alternate-reality post apocalyptic Fett took third place in the contest. Thanks to everyone who voted for me.
