@OP:  Thanks!  I mean, my Phase 2 Flare doesn't have a kama, but that's really the only reason against it...  Pros: it'd add variety, look cool...  :P

@JediMindtrix:  Thank you very much.   :D  I've been dying to find a scheme that works well with Jay (the green one);  I think I may've finally settled on the one I like.

these all look really nice, Dan. The reworking on Bly makes him look factory fresh.

@ Clint:  Kind of you to say!  That's my goal with these re-paints: turning customs I'm kind of ashamed of into ones I'm quite proud of.  My next goal is going back through and replacing all the terrible camera-phone pics.

@clone 10: Thank you.  ;D

I have a fondness for Cmdr. Jay...I like the look of the green paint you used there.  What color is that exactly?

Nice work on your Bly update as well!

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

Thank you, highly!

My customs aren't that great, but thanks, Shawn.  It means a lot.   :)

It's called Kelly Green; I believe almost any paint company will have it, as it's a standard color.

Good work all the way around with your updates.  Better paint-apps, better pics, better background - much improvement all around!

Thanks, Doc!  I'm still quite happy with how great my camera is compared to those old pics I took.

Well, guys, 50% of those who voted on the poll in this thread said they wanted, "No custom legion; a Clone Wars character, instead."  Soooooo...

I'm going to give Commander Trauma a shot (this guy:)

Do you guys have any advice for boil-and-popping a CW Clone Torso?  I've never boil-and-popped anything, really, but I need the torso of an ARF Trooper atop the waist/legs of a Captain Rex fig.

Also, I'm thinking about swapping out Rex's legs for the ARF's; any advice there, too?  Thanks.

Should be a cool custom.
