Looks good. He goes well with your other. Reminds me of the variation we saw in WW2 German theatre uniforms that optimized form foremost.

Thanks Tamer. Yeah, I figured that there would be some variation - got to use what you got.

Thanks! After looking at the two side-by-side I think that if ever I do a third, I would use the second recipe but swap out the Snowtrooper arms for the Galactic Marine arms. I think that's about as close as I'll get without creating joints for my mudtroopers (though, I'll probably try that too).

May I introduce:

Mevin Prambos - known simply as Sparky to most beings, Prambos is a Givin welder and shipwright. As a youngster he was captivated by the idea of being a bounty hunter or smuggler so as early as he could, he joined the Yag'Dhul defense force. His aptitudes got him placed in the Combat Engineers. After his first deployment, Prambos realized he didn't enjoy the prospect of killing people, so as soon as he could be honorably discharged, he became a shipwright. Velstigg Sarramsell, always on the lookout for talent, especially that also came with military training, hired Mevin and he has become an integral part of the stellar reputation of "The Pillar."



Recipe:
Head = Minimates Cylon helmet over a modified Fornite figure head (Skull Trooper)
Armor = Minimates Cylon
Torso = Cad Bane (CW with Todo 360)
Arms = CW Anakin (don't remember which specifically)
Lower right arm = Johnston concept Snowtrooper
Waist and upper legs = Walmart BS General Lando
Lower legs = Ree Yees

and:

Seibb Nubres - a Sullustan prospector. He is partner to Jego Kemboor.



and with Jego:



Recipe:
Head = VC Nien Nunb
Body = Zutton POTJ - FYI, had to build a neck post for this figure and fill the empty body cavity with hot glue to insert the arms.
Arms = Mawhonic
Coat = mission to Vandor Han Solo
Ray Projector = Mr. Freeze Gun from Funko classic Batman Mr. Freeze

Loving that cylon helmet and custom. I get a read Predator vibe from this guy for some reason. Your Sulustan is nice too.

Off to share them both on the front pages.

I can see what you mean - it is a little "Predator-ish". Hadn't made that connection myself. I just didn't want to pass up using the helmet and armor, but wasn't interested in a "Cylon cross-over". I think I was feeling like I needed some more non-soldier characters.

Thanks Don, I just thought that fur coat was too good to sit unused :)

Great use of parts and pieces.  I particularly love the welder with the Cylon helmet.

Nice!
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.
