They all look really good, I need to up my painting skill. A lot of you on these forums are pretty crazy. I'll usually do a wash if I want some details, basically just mixing paint and paint remover to highlight the details. I guess I'm kind of new to more advanced paint apps, is there anything you recommend I look into?

Ain't that the truth!  These are awesome, drod!  Great concept (tax collectors), creative use of parts (i.e. Wooof's kama skirt as the shoulder wrap on the Klatooinian, the Florn Lamproid body (I think) combined with Quadrinaros), and paint applications (these guys look like they should be single-carded; Hasbro should be ashamed).

Really enjoyed these; the "worm" is my personal favorite.  Can't believe you found a good use for Ben Quadrinaros; I never even picked one up b/c I dislike the character and saw no use for him custom-wise.  Shows what I know!

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

Awesome paint job all around. I especially love the mando girl. I've thought of using the Zam Wessel body in a similar way but wasn't sure how to pull it off. Thanks for the idea!

Great Work!  I love how you went outside the usual Jedi/Clone Trooper/Original SW Characters customs;  A Tax Collector!  I've wanted to do something "ordinary" before.

hey guys thank you for all the comments and Im glad you like the figures, the paint and the story behind them... here are the part lists..
The worm (AKA Tax Collector)
Upper Body and Head - Ben Quadrinaros
Lower Worm Body - MIB 3 figure Mr. Wu..
Arms - fodder
Belt - Sculpted
This guy took some time painting and getting the different skin tone colors to blent nicely.
Umpass-Stay
Head - Umpass-Stay which is an excellent detail sculpt.
Upper Body - Mandalore
Legs - Mandalore
Arms - Nikto Gunner
Skirt - Mandalore
Shoulder Wrap - Wooof's cloth kama skirt
Shoulder Belt - fodder bin
Farmer  
Head - X wing pilot. I am not sure which
Upper Body - Dr. Evazan TVC
Upper Arms - Star Killer
Lower Arms - Indiana Jones figure
Legs - Star Killer
Belt - Pirates of the caribbean figure.

darthstreams - I usually start painting my figures by priming them. after the primer is dry, i work applying on applying my base color... I paint my layers and highlights mixing my base color with lighter shades of my base colors.For example the Umpass Stay pants, I started with a dark red color as a base and mixed a lighter red in to it to do my highlights. Hope this helps..

Next up is my ultimate Pre-Flight Jaina Solo for my Episode VII entry here @ the yards..She was alot of work but really fun to work on.. The sculpt work was not easy but I think it turned out ok, but my 1st time sculpting a big part of the figure..

Last figure I finish is my take on a younger Leia Organa.. This is my entry to the Smugglers Gambit contest..
Hope you all enjoy the figures...

Wow, I didn't see that 3rd gen Leia till I got in here. Looks good.

Hats off to you on that Desert Punk. I watched that series earlier this year and thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Look for this update on our front page soon.

Nice job on all of these. The sculpting on the flight suit looks good.

I love both Leias. The Jaina is awesome, especially the face painting. I have a lot of trouble with the eyes.

glad you like the Jaina's darthsinister, I can believe it painting eyes are very difficult. It takes me a couple of tries and lots of patience to get them right. I find it that if my paint is smooth and with some drying retarder it makes the painting a bit easier.

Thanks Clonehead, the  flight suit took some time to sculpt. The most difficult part was the sleeves, trying to me them look real and to hang naturally was a big task. For those you are wondering, I use aves  to do my sculpt work.
