Thanks everyone! I'm happy to finally be a part of a community like The Yards, where I can show my work, and get some feedback. I've seen a lot of your guy's work through You Tube (Wraith9), or just through random Google searches. Any constructive criticism or pointers would be much appreciated. So far I'm just working with basic Testor's Acrylic paints; are there any other paints of better quality that are still relatively cheap? (Working on a college student budget here). 

thanks again, really appreciate the support.

I use apple barrel,or folk art,their really cheap price wise,but work fairly well for our type of work.some of it may be thicker then others,so you might have to use a little water with it to thin it out a bit.save your money by remembering that yellow & blue make green,so no sense buying green paint,unless you want a more exotic type of green.If i had my choice I would use games workshop paints,but thier a little more expensive,and I'd have to drive 2 hours just to get it,which i'll get around to doing eventually,and so should you,but i've just been using those two for now,and thier not bad.sometimes they may be a bit of a pain,and you might have to apply a few coats before it turns out they way you want it,but I wont say it's the best or the worst.hope that helps a little,but i'm sure someone else here may give you better advice  ;D.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of the whole green thing hahahaha. I have a set of about 16 paint colors from Testors, one of them is a "Military colors", another one is meant for WWII model plains. The ice blueish color used on Holt and Gonzo came from the second set. If I don't have a color, I usually just mix, like the red for Holt's scar was made mixing a bright red, tan, and olive drab green. I think there might be a few hobby shops here in town; I got my second paint set at one. Once I have more time (and money) on my hands, I'd like to experiment with custom molds. I look around the Yards in awe, dribbling a bit, and think to myself "I wish I could do stuff like this". 

I am but a Padawn in the ways of the customizing Force.

Haha, thanks JediMindtrix, I hope that to be true. I'll post some pics of an animated Clone Trooper squad I did a few months ago. They use a olive and light grey color scheme from the Military Colors set I have. I want to get my hands on a few more of the Vintage style Clone troopers, and a Vintage stye AT-RT driver, and make a decent squad for Lt. Holt to roast marshmallows with in the Outer Rim. Thank ya  ;D

Here's an Animated squad I did a few months ago. Sorry for the picture quality, these were the only pics I currently have in my possession. I'll do another photo shoot once I'm back home, so you can see each member of the squad in greater detail.
Basically, I thought this would be a squad of troops re-trained by the ARC trooper in the middle of the Clone Wars, to compensate for dwindling ARC troopers and RC squads. The ARC led squad would act as an RC squad, taking on assignments that primarily involved destroying Separatist prototypes and secret weapons. I'm still thinking of names for all the members and their Unit/Squad name. But all the "staple" members are present, Badass ARC leader, heavy troop, Sniper, cool 2nd in command, and a scout/medic type. Once I get back home, I plan on adding more to them.
Once again, hope you all enjoy!
