Great job  another fantastic update !!!

[benjani_1976]

Looks good. I am thinking this might be the first time I have seen anyone give Galen a suit of beskar gam. On the front page.

Did you see the 3 sith tamer......as well as mando marek I got a few more coming along nicely to finish the arc boys and a couple with plenty of add ons.
Also Lando the Mando
Mando commando (far left)
Revised W'ade Tay'hai

Won't take long finishing them off,hardest part of jointing them all done now. mouldings,mods and paint next. some cracking weapons en-route with a tweak here & there will be just the finishing touch some figs are needing. Thanks for stopping buy peeps

[JediMindtrix]

Darth Traya looks great,and she is one of my favorite charaters in the star wars universe.Good Job!

[Jedi Minstrel]

Awesome Mando's!!!  Can't wait to see the finished products.

[benjani_1976]

Thanks,they are looking the part bit by bit.
Marek isn't far off now........just the hip pouch to fit and then some weathering. Always wanted the Bespin marek but hasbro's version is
1. Too plain Jane and
2. Too expensive to customise.

I used a $3.99 Jaster mereel
A €4.50 mandalore's lower legs
A cheap marek Jedi I got incomplete off eBay.
A bundle of cheap loose robes.. Bail Organa's - EU imperial knight Luke robe - SL hoth Han Solo lower jacket trim. (All cheap figures) some epoxy putty to rejoin upper and lower torso's with Han's midsection.

Plus all the leftovers from the donor figures have made or contributed to 3 or 4 other figures so I estimate under $15 for a better replica of a $50 figure.
Gotta be happy with that

You had me at "Starkiller"!  I love seeing new customs of this character: one of the most interesting/coolest-looking characters in the SW universe. 

Your version is much leaner and more trim than the TRU 5-pk version; nice work on the piecing of the cloaks/plastic "soft goods". 

I cut the hands off of a Jaster Mereel and drilled a tiny hole so that I could replace them with the SA wrists/hands of a Pre Viszla...allows full range of motion and the ability for Starkiller to hold his saber using the reverse grip.  Looks much more realistic; might want to try that if you're interested.

All in all, excellent work!

[benjani_1976]

I like your thinking there merc got a spare incomplete vizsla I'm in the middle of boiling and stripping down. 

I was reading a review on the exclusive figure just yesterday,not a good review IMO.........for an exclusive figure of a popular character I'd expect some realistic weathering and most importantly,be able to hold a lights abet without using an elastic band.

Just started weathering the robes,fitted the final pieces of the pouches and belts........once the epoxy has cured,final stages of paint

[benjani_1976]

Some more of Starkiller in Beskar Gam.........

[benjani_1976]

4 more, hope you like it.

[DarthDrew]

Very cool Starkiller, I am really liking the colors on this guy! And no, I don't have a pic of my Traya up yet, but I'll probably do so later this week, I'm also working on making the inner part of the Trayus Core, with 'floating' lightsabers and all.

[Mando Assasin]

Starkiller is ACE! Great job my friend!

[benjani_1976]

Ori'vor'e ner vod

And even with all the robes and add-ons he still retains all articulation..........I'll need a new display cabinet just for this guy.
Might change the hands over to a CW jointed pair yet....still unsure,but I do prefer him with gloved hands though to bare flesh,what you guys think?

You'll know this  Mr Mando,clone wars figures with bare flesh ball jointed wrists as found on troopers and mando's.........any been made??

[Mando Assasin]

Wicked cool. I do not think that a bare handed fully articulated CW hand has been made yet. But when i want articulated bare hands i just paint a CW clones hands tan.

[Jedi Minstrel]

Wait!  Your's looks better than Hasbros!  Awesome.

[benjani_1976]

Thanks bud,i reckon it looks better than that pristine clean version and he didn't cost the earth to make.

More pics soon,a few more mandalorian Then that will be clan skirata and co completed.
