Totally agree on the eyes, looks much better, the little things make a big difference

[AjuntaPall]

Looks good to me!

[Starchaser]

Rey looks really good; your "amendments" are certainly an improvement.

[CloneTroopr]

Thanks all for the kind words!

Remember the really cool Sith Acolytes from the Old Republic game trailers? I found a head that someone made and was selling online, and knew I had to use it to make this figure. It came in a flesh color, which was rather chuckle-worthy, but I definitely had fun making this figure. The most complicated part, surprisingly, was the cloak. I considered taking Jedi cloak and dying it black, but I figured it was too much trouble. The cloak on this figure is actually made from 3 piecies of cloth. The hood is a separate piece, as are the the body section and the sleeves. I'm also all out of red lightsabers to use for customs, so I took the red missile from the BB-8 3-pack, and used it to make a lightsaber. Enjoy! I definitely had fun taking these pictures.

That sith acolyte Is sweeeeeet!!! That Duke accelerator suit works well, great thinking! Also I suggest using "plastruct rods" (neon red) to make custom lightsaber blades I've had great results. Especially when red lightsabers are so hard to come by. I use those and run a dremel at the tips (one side i round off the other end I make a small tip) to make them removable from the hilts. You can use fodder for hilts or use "greenstuff" to sculpt your own. Keep up the great work. Really digging it!

Wow, I like it too. Off to share.

Agreed on the acolyte.  Pure BADA$$.
Also agree on the plastics rods.  I have a pack of blue, green and red.  If you can find them, get the narrowest. They also come in yellow.

[Bronxstalker]

Awesome.  I plan on making a 6" version.

[Bronxstalker]

by the way, I see on amazon the plastic rods that would work great for sabers for small figures, but are there rods that would work great for 6" figures?

[Jedi Minstrel]

Killer Sith Acolyte!  Too cool.

[CloneTroopr]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Really, really excellent! Those acolytes look really good and fight into the KOTOR universe so very well. Keep up the fantastic work!
