Thanks again for all the comments guys!

Since the Joe's I have been working on a commissioned Jedi, pics soon, and a figure for the Smuggler's Gambit contest hosted by Customs for the Kid and RebelForce Radio. I picked Sweeper, a bounty hunter looking to capture Han Solo. I was drawn to the character as he is an Alien that has never been made before and all I had was a character description to go on. This is my Vision of Sweeper.

I had to quote my post to get the pictures with this description Barry. I started witha CW Plo Koon head, cut down and sculpted the face over it. Then I used a Woof torso and sculpted the fur on the shoulders. I also sculpted the fur and metal plates over Ki Adi Mundi arms. The shoulder plate is from Gen. Grevious and the bandolier was built from the flat string I use and bits I cast myself. Then I used Jedi luke upper legs with "Ghost Face" from the cantina lower legs. I cut 2 different pieces of fabric for the soft goods skirts. Then added the Zuccas belt part and built up some gear to it. Gun holster and front knife from the fodder bin and I made the side knife holsters by hollowing out a pouch cast I got from Sith Happens. I glued some pleather to the back and whala, a knife sheath. The helmet was made by cutting down a Frost Giant helmet and adding the cloth soft goods with glue. I ripped them up just before glueing them in place. Once dry the soft goods were weathered with pastels. His weapon is made from a cantina band instrument and thr projectile from the old R5-d4. I added some greblies and a paper clip to make it resemble a vibro axe. I think that is it, well, I repainted everything after a base coat of flat black.

First off, thanks so much for the in depth details on what it took to bring this figure to life. I really appreciate the extra time you took with describing your process. I always enjoy reading the creative steps that one goes through to make their art.
As you know, I've followed your work roughly for  nearly 5 years, and I must say (and this is difficult being familiar with your extensive catalog of great piece after great piece) that this is probably my favorite figure by you. He is just beautiful. Great proportions and symmetry, regarding the sculpting and parts selection. I realize you do this all of the time, and I have come to expect great things from you, so this isn't a surprise to me that you've wowed me once again.... I just find something special about this one. I originally just stared at it for a while, awestruck by its beauty, so I had to know more.
He just looks so bad ass and somewhat barbaric. His weapons are mostly for close contact fighting, which suggests he doesn't even wince at getting his hands dirty. He looks like he's had his fair share of damage as well, based on his facial scar. I love the helmet and all of the soft goods (for some reason I always smile at the sound of "soft goods"). The sculpting is gorgeous. I would have never guessed most of the parts you used.
I love the placement of everything. He's loaded with extras, but not over loaded. I could easily imagine this version you've created to be being fleshed out on screen, without any modifications of your vision of this character.
Bravo, L.E.. Outstanding work, sir.

I like him too Chad, don't think he is gonna knock the Mandos off their pinnacle though. His Norris Tretch is still my favorite.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I will have to admit, Sweeper is one of my all time favorites as well. He represents everything I have learned over the years. Beginning with sculpting, then the soft goods, kit bashing, many of the greeblies are my own resin cast parts and the custom built weapon. Tons of fun, I had a great time with this one! Thanks for the fp Shawn!

You achieved some serious realism with this guy. Looks like he's ready to start walking around.

LE this last custom is a true work of art. All your skills are on display with this figure. He looks like some kind of scavenger thug that you might find on Tatooine. Anyway, back to the figure, I absolutely love his weapon! I just have one question....
do you have any ride in mind for him? Like a vehicle or an animal.... or even a pet....

This figure is just unreal!  Great outcome on the choice of parts and your paint apps, as usual, are stellar. 

The figure's headsculpt is really cool.  Reminds me of Tarok from that Ewok movie that came out on TV after ROTJ back in the mid-80's. 

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