@ CloneSniper:  I really like the concept behind your female smuggler and droid companion!  Great use of the CW commando droid and I love the nods to Han Solo with her outfit. 

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

@ JediMerc   Thank you! Yeah, she's definitely an ode to Han.

Clonesniper,

Excellent figures, I love the concept and the dirty look of the female is perfect. She's a real character!

CS that's a great use of the juno body, her IMP uniform looks great as a vest, I never cared for the open front juno figure as an imperial uniform anyway! 

The commando droid with cobra comander's head is brilliant!  I love the look of the rusty old droid with the briliantly shining new head, you weathered that body up great!

so here is my entry:

Captain "Red Eye" is one of the most ruthless smugglers in the galaxy.  Known for his swashbuckling attitude and "take no prisoners" way of doing things he will not only ship your cargo for you, but board rival smuggler's ships and take theirs!  He and his quarren first mate, "Kra' Kan" are a force not to take lightly... all you other smuggler's better watch out! ;)

Captain "Red Eye" isn't as good as he once was... through the years of plundering other smuggler's goods and doing his fair share of under-handed dealings he lost not only his leg but an eye along the way...  both have been replaced with cybernetic implants.  (The droideka leg is to simulate a "peg leg" and the bionic eye the classic "eye patch")...





In his older years "red eye" isn't really the one you should worry about though... his first mate is the brawn (and usually brain) of this team. 




Handling a traditional Quarren battle trident as well as a small ceremonial dagger "Kra' Kan" is a formidable adversary.  His flight suit is more modern however, long gone is the traditional Quarren dress...


"Kra' Kan" is the first figure I've ever attempted at a full on sculpt of bodilly features... I tried to match the original hasbro quarren figure's torso as best I could.  check out my figure thread for more photos of these guys, as well as a few close ups of "kra' kan"'s sculpting.

Awesome work Spuda! Liking that peg leg a lot! A great take on the classic pirate genre!

Super cool entries so far.  I just created a picture heavy thread of mine and Elias' WIP smuggler teams over in Custom Action Figures complete with a custom vehicle I have been working on for almost a year now.  This is the closest I have ever gotten to completion.  Here's a link to the thread, because I didn't want to junk up this one:

Hopefully, I can finish on time.

These are my smugglers, Kel Dor smuggler Kelan Bel, and former Jedi Daven L'ren, a Mandolorian. To get their full bios check out my thread in custom figures. Basically, Kelan Bel smuggled illegal weapons for Clone and Jedi Officers during the Clone Wars and met Daven L'ren. Daven L'ren, a young Mandolorian Jedi preferred to use force and fire power as opposed to dimplomacy to defeat the CIS. Daven did his best to balance his Mando and Jedi heritages, but often skirted the edge between the Force and the Dark side.  Following Order 66, both were branded enemies of the Empire and were highly wanted.

P.S. I am 19
