Very nice. Great to see you get some play time. Off to share to the front pages.

My Friends and Fellow Customizers!  It has been too long.  Again, just trying to keep up with the kids and all.  Anyway, here is a custom that was fun to do.

Wyl Sm'th was a Padawan around 3475 before the Battle of Yavin.  He was apprenticed to Kae Vis, Jedi Master.  Sm'th was a bit of a maverick but Vis was always on him about his antics.  Fortunately, they were few enough and Vis did laugh...at most of them.  As Sm'th grew older and more in tune with the force, Vis was very pleased with the young man.  The true test was the resurgence of the Sith Empire.  Lord Vrok, was about to land the killing blow to Vis when Sm'th saved him.  Although, Vis lost his eye sight, he refused artificial eyes.  He trusted in the Force.  Sm'th continued on with his training and thanks to Vis, achieved Knighthood on his first attempt and with high accolades from the Council.  Yet, he still could not pull any pranks on Kae Vis.

Your latest custom Jedi figures are very cool, I dig their backstory too.

[FialaFernbrugg]

Great looking figure with an awesome backstory.

[Jedi Minstrel]

So, a while ago I needed help digging a trench to work on the gas line.  Had some help.

[Tamer]

Glad to see you had some back up! Man, those are some great images. Glad you had a bit of fun even with all that hard work. I know my ground is like digging in bare rock.

Great pictures. Makes me wish the CLONES in the movies were  real and not CGI (what laziness)

[Starchaser]

Boy, I could use them to help me dig a French drain or two! Those pictures are too fun.

Hello.  Been some time since last posting but here goes:

Jav Rentilis was a lieutenant of the Senate Guard.  He was posted on Reytha, an agri planet in the Expansion Region.  Key outposts throughout the Republic were set up as stations for Senators to meet with other regional representatives without having to travel to Coruscant.  Many Guard uniforms were tailored to the environments and/or tastes of the planet they were stationed.  Everyone had the official "Blues" for top official use but "going native" uniform was day to day.  Jav's uniform conformed to the more agri style and colors of Reytha.  While stationed on Reytha, Jav Rentilis became more of a naturalist and found much of his off time exploring the wilderness.  When Separatists came to take over the planet, Jav was on a hike with two other Guardsmen and three locals.  Along with them, they had their hunting gear.  After seeing the Separatists land, Jav and his friends quickly and quietly, captured individuals until they had the entire Separatist commando team.  All the Guards were awarded promotions and the locals were granted land.  Captain Rentilis continued his tour of duty on Reytha until the Galactic Empire declared itself.  He and his men joined the Rebellion.  "Can't see an Empire taking care of beauty like Reytha", he told his friends before leaving Reytha for the Alliance.

Hey, great to see you back and with a great custom too.

Off to share on the front pages.

[ImperialOfficer]

That is a really cool custom and backstory.

[Darth More]

I agree with Tamer and ImperialOfficer: This custom looks really good! And I'm as amazed by the background story as I'm amazed by your Senate Guard itself!
Thanks for sharing!
