My latest custom figure is a sratch built retro Sci-Fi (sratch built because I spent this months custom budget on a Dagobah X-Wing Fighter for my son :) ) I been reading alot of H.G Wells lately, So I thought I would try to build a figure that is my vision of the aliens that drove the tri pods in War of The Worlds.

My latest customs are a pair of Wolfpack Clones to accompany my favorite Clone Commander Wolffe. My goal is to show other novice customizers like myself, that you need not be a Picasso to turn out some cool custom Clone Troopers, You just need a steedy hand, A bit of imagination, And a nice set of Decals doesn't hurt :)

I have to be honest, your basic, cost effective approaches are really hitting home with me.

I would love to hear you talk about some of those on a podcast sometime. Look for this on the fp soon.

Thanks Tamer  ;D Well my next economic project i think is going to be those little Ewok dudes and some sort of huge tree village, depending on what the wife will allow on the back porch LOL. I plan on it being weather proof and also a nice patio decoration. I am currently bidding like mad on loads of the little buggers, they are realitivy cheap, easy to get, and there is no end to the possibilities of customs you can do on them, different colors, patterns, and equipment. I want this village to be epic, I hope to get at least 100 Ewoks for this project. I always felt that there must have been thousands of them, for them to be able to overwelm the Imperial troops.

YES, I love the tripod tribute! Love the use of the flower pot and other objects that would normaly be thrown away. You have turned it into a very cool pice of 3D art.

Your troopers look great and I too love the decals you added! Nice work my friend.

Dude!  I'm WAY more excited about the prospect of an epic Ewok diorama than I should be!  For some reason, I've had Ewoks on the brain for the last six months and have had to stop myself from buying loads of them. I don't know why I'm into them lately, but I cannot wait to see what you do.
