Ok.  Here's a take on training armor.  I don't have names for these guys, yet.  And I don't know when I want to place them - Old Republic, Galactic Civil War, Legacy Era, etc.  I'm leaning toward Old Republic since I'm still on this Old-Republic-Trip-Thing with that multi-site custom contest.  As usual, any comments are appreciated.

Interesting-looking figs, for sure.  What body did you use for these?  It definitely is unique to the style of armor worn in the Old Republic.

The mix of gold trim with the blue/gray/black color palette works well too..

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

Thanks.  I used some mortal combat figs that came out not too long ago.  They were a set of three.  You know the kind where they take the same body and paint it in different colors.  I just swapped the heads and hands.

Thanks.  I saw them at TRU and thought, "How can I use for SW customs?"

Oh, yes; I remember seeing these at TRU...might have to look into these; the possibilities for customs is appealing...

I love the Japanese Samurai feel to these customs. My comments are on the front page.

This is one of those bang your hand off your head ideas for why didn't I think of this before. Outstanding JM.

Yeah.  The Samurai thing is what got me to pick them up.  I didn't want to pass them up and bang my head.  Happens too often.  Thanks for the FP.

I'm on this Starkiller trip!  Maybe it's because I'm still smacking my head for those times I didn't pick up the last Force Unleashed sets.  Things get expensive and that's what fodder is for.  Ah well, here go two WIP's - Mando Starkiller and Marek in Jedi robes I've seen online.  This is the most I've done for a game I've never played.  I just read the book and it was great to have read the development of such a character.

Thank you very much!  I can't seem to stop.  Again, that's what fodder is for.

Looking nice; nice to see different versions and different peoples' takes on the same character.
