The 3 ladies look absolutely superb! 

I never cease to be amazed by your amazing painting skills (as Clonehead's also mentioned)...I can't even bring myself to try painting a headsculpt for fear of 'damage beyond repair', but you can crank out top-flight skin/facial features.

Lex is the "queen" out of this set (though all 3 are phenomenally done): the use of the midriff sculpt was an excellent choice and the finely painted headsculpt caps a great figure.  Great combination of parts for the legs and arms as well.  Definitely what I'd think of for a female pilot!

Also love your Trandoshan traveler...you nailed the 'vintage'-like feel to the fig and whoever received this is lucky, lucky!

An excellent lineup you've got here!

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

Dennis, these ladies are out of this world!  The paint apps are gorgeous.  Love the creativity that went into these.  How about a nice shot of the AT-RT?

I can identify most of the figs parts u used all except for Tess I'm completely stumped on her.
Jex looks like Ayala upper body and Lex is Delilah Blue upper body.  But I'll be darned if i can even remotly guess what Tess is except maybe those lower legs might be Dengars.  The heads are also great and I have no clue what line they are from.  What could I say about the paint apps that hasn't already been said, great stuff and can't wait to see more from you.

Oh, and if that Trandoshan was for sale on ebay, I'd be caught up in one hell of a bidding war!

hey fellows..
glad to hear that you like the latest batch and thanks for the kind words..

Yes the female skin tones takes me a few codes of paint to get right.. I have been experimenting alot here with different colors and pastels but the results are great when you take your time...

The trandoshan turned out better then what I was expecting.. Its an old Jedi Luke body with clonewars bossk parts and sculpt.. 

For Jex and Lex, I used the torso from a old Aayla Secura figure and Dalia Blue.. The headsculpts are from a gijoe caster on ebay..

I know that everyone is interested on what I used for Tess.. Here is the list of parts.  She was alot of work and a pain but she turned out very well. 
Arms: Fodder
Sculpt: mando female with sculpted hair
Torso: Yarna body reworked with putty.
Upper Legs: Yarma with sculpted side pockets
Lower Legs: Endor rebel trooper.
Belt: gammorean guard belt..

Hey Darthdaddy.. ahaha my figures are not ebay quality yet buddy.. but Im happy to hear that you think so..

hello everyone..
Here are my 3 newest customs.. Jabbas tax collectors..
The worm and young Umpass-Stay before becoming Jabba's bodyguard. These two partner up and are send out by Jabba to collect credits from Farmers that fall behind on their luxury taxes. Farmers that live close to Jabbas castle are considered privileged individuals an are imposed with a luxury tax by the Hut himself... .
The 3rd figure is of a farmer that is behind in his taxes.. Hope you like them..
