Holy freakin' cow!  I LOVE that Mon Calimari Commando!  Ackbar is one of my favorite characters in the SW universe, and he looks great as a Commando.  I'd love to customize on this scale, but I'm betting it's rather expensive, and I just don't have it in me at this point.  Amazing all around!

The Mon Cal was a last minute edition.  I picked up an Ackbar figure on ebay really cheap and decided to add him to the group.  As for the expense of working in this scale, you're right it's pretty crazy.  I did it because I had a bug and needed to get it out of my system and I'm glad I did but I don't know how many more I'll do in this scale.

those are awesome man.  I recently purchased a 1:6 cygirl figure and some outfits for my wife to mess with but we were rather disapointed in it and realy didn't go anywhere with it.  I'm too partial to the 1:18 scale figures and micromachine figures as they were what I grew up with and I always remember being frustrated by lack of details or limited posability. 

your right about customizing loosing it's flare when you have deadlines.  I've been working on a commissioned set of figures and it's taking me forever to finish them because of that mental issue of the "it's required of me to do thus I do not want to do it" quandry. 

I find it so relaxing though to get lost in a project or hobby after a day at work or school....  it's my stress relief.

I hear you on the whole deadline for a commision thing, Spud. It does kind of put a damper on that creative spark doesn't it? If I set or break my own deadline it doesnt seem to matter as much but when it's someone elses, now that's a different story.

yeah I had to make sure the guy I'm making these for wasn't expecting them too quickly.  I've been keeping him in touch with the progress of the figs he requested but I just can't get in the mood to do something I KNOW is going to someone else as soon as I finish it.

of course I don't know why that should matter because the figures that I've finished and kept have all gone into storage! lol  the making of the figure, painting the figure, and seeing it from start to finish is what it's all about for me.

my bad, we're thread jacking!

man I have one of those hasboro 12" admiral ackbars from childhood.  I also have a 12" gi-joe that changes colors in warm water... he has a hole in his chest from a run in with a bb gun...  I might break those two out one of these days and do some kind of custom with both of them, maybe something similar to this one, it's so awesome!

Really nice compiling work. This is one tough looking gang. I especially like the Imperial Commando Commander helmet, it looks really well put together.

This one was made a month or two ago.  It's nothing special but I thought I'd post it anyway. I realize the mic is on the wrong side of the headset but, eh, I'm not that picky and it's what I had laying around.  The flash gives the figure a gloss which is not there when you actually see the figure in person. I made this guy before they announced the new Scanning Technician so hopefully they will release this repaint in the future using that mold.

Head - Imperial Officer (Dark Haired version)
Headset - Styrene and GI Joe mic
Torso - Imperial Officer
Arms - Moff Jerjerrod
Legs - Death Star Gunner
Shoulder pocket and tools - Black tape and styrene
Control box on belt - AT-ST Driver
Headset Cord - Black wire
Hands - Colonel Yularen

Paints - Flat Black and silver
Imperial logos - Erikstormtrooper.com print out with Elmer's Glue Stick

The logos are free to download.  You can then print them out on whatever type paper you like.  I just happened to use regular printer paper, cut the logo out using an Xacto and used Elmer's glue stick to apply it.

Here is a direct link to the logo sheet : http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/stickersheet.htm

That is a really sweet custom! $35 (5 figs @ $7 each?) and some mad skills have given you a very nicely done figure, you should give him a sweet display case to show him off!

$35....ouch.  I don't often add up what the parts cost me since I have so many laying around that get re-used for other figures (if they aren't sold or given away).  The body will probably be re-used for parts when Hasbro releases these guys at some point.  He's nothing special, like I said, but I think it came out OK and figured I'd post it since I found some images. Thanks for the replies.
