That pilot in the red jumpsuit looks fantastic!  Does he have a pimped out whip to tool around in?

That too is in the works.  Probably wont get to til summer.  We'll see.  I'm debating whether to keep the jumpsuit red or not.  It's a cool shade but I may make some other parts other colors we'll see.

Hey Folks!  It's been some time since I last posted.  End of the school year, baby, and just stuff.  Anyway, over the last few days I've been cleaning out the garage, as well.  Anyone want any comic books from the late 80's and 90's, PM me.  Well, here are some customs I've been able to crank out quickly in between things.

First off are a couple of repaints and head swap of Tycho Celchu and Corran Horn.  Celchu originally came out in his A-Wing flight suite and Horn was in an orange flight suite.  In the novel series, X-Wing, Celchu is depicted as wearing a black flight suite (probably his old TIE fighter flight suite).  Also, mentioned is Horn's green flight suite from his days with CorSec.

Next up are some pilots from pre-Yavin.  Red Squadron was the predecessor to Rogue Squadron.  According to different accounts, in the early days of the Rebellion, there was a lot of hodge podge-ness.  And so, I imagine that the squads at times were just whatever could be cobbled together.  Here're some pilots from the early years of Red Squadron.

Rook and Jump were best friends from Corellia and loved speed, they were pilots with the atmosphere and space assault patrol (ASAP) division of CorSec.  When Rook's mother was wrongly accused and executed for crimes against the Empire, Rook convinced Jump to join the Rebellion with him.  

Turok Quay was a Weequay hunter/pilot and had a bit of a reputation in the Outer Rim.  As the Rebellion began to grow, he decided to join and see if his prowess as a pilot would allow him to take on the Empire.  Not just individual TIE fighters but everything from assault vehicles to Imperial Star Destroyers.


See if you can find Wedge Antilles in the mix with Red Squadron.  There are a few others, I haven't gotten to yet but their in the mix, as well.

G'nar Nisan was a Jedi sometime before the Clone Wars.  He was a from a long line of Jedi.  One of the few that were still allowed to have a family.  He mediated many disputes and was highly sought after for the more intense disputes.  At the beginning of the Clone Wars, he was on his way to Genosis when the call came out for Jedi but his shuttle crashlanded on an outlier planet.  He survived but it was an untamed jungle planet.

Absolutely love the new pilots... as you know I'm partial to anything X-Wing related, I love the group shot too.

Thanks.  I've been meaning to unload these and more for awhile.  Hopefully, I can get to a couple of others by next weekend.

@CloneTrooper,  I used a GI Joe Duke head.

@Hangarbay94,  Yes, I remember.  I love 'em, too but I do like the flight suites of other vehicles' pilots.  I recently got a Y-Wing and want to do a custom job on it.  We'll see.
