bary, or r1bb1t, whichever you prefer, first of all a big welcome to the shipyards customs gang.  Definately awesome work on those.  Very nice paint jobs.  I realy like that first clone the best I think.  the dirty sandtrooper is def. my second fav. though. 

any stories behind these characters, wip pics, construction details and whatnot would all be realy cool!  Us customizers realy love seeing/hearing how other customizers come up with their ideas and then execute them.  I personally just sit down with my parts box and start puting crap together untill I get an idea for a figure and I get started... I usually go through about 10 variations on one figure before I get it finished and painted!

again, welcome to the forums and hope to see more from ya!

Thanks so much.R1bb1t or Barry is fine. Not really too many back stories on these guys. I just made them after trying to come up with something different. These were just some figures that I modified from my collection. Most of my customs are simple repaints and mild part swapping.
I really do appreciate your kind words and interest in my customs.

Thanks again, everyone,
Barry

heh, simple repaints and part swaps are how it all starts....   then you'll be doing sculpting, casting, and complete figures from scratch!  the paint jobs definately make the figure, though.  no matter how much work you put into making one or sculpting one the finished paint job is what is always noticed.

I'm still quite far from sculpting, but I hope to one day. Thanks again for the encouragement. I sincerely appreciate it.

Wow Barry! Those look great! I love the weathering on em and that first trooper just rocks!
Welcome to the customs gang! I can't wait to see more.
Tamer, that second shot looks like a good one for the front page. I'll get it up when I get home if you don't beat me to it.

Jay, I've been a fan of your work for quite a while, and I always enjoy hearing from you.
Your words bring tears of joy to my eyes.
Thanks so much, mate.

Again, thanks to everyone.

As I've said before - that middle one is one scary-creepy dude!  I'm talking Stephen King creepy.  Heath Ledger's Joker scary.  I love all the customs you've posted, but those three affect me the most.  I *like* that airborne trooper the most, but this gangster trio has me checking the power-packs on my blasters.  Repeatedly.  And watching over my shoulder.....
