Thanks, Don!

A simple one for tonight. Had the parts from another custom I was building, so:

Beccan Smarko: Hailing from Fondor, his dream was always to be a starfighter technician. He enlisted in the Imperial Navy hoping to achieve his career goals. Beccan was more than a competent tech, but he had a problem, he was chronically playing pranks. While his fellow cadets found pleasure in the tricks he played, it didn't set well with his superiors and Beccan was drummed out of the Navy for "insubordination". To this day, he still wears his garrison cap and calls himself "cadet." Beccan found a place in the more free-flowing culture of the Alliance and quickly made many friends. He is now a Lieutenant training and overseeing young technicians, but he still delights in pranking his colleagues and getting his gloves dirty working on starfighters.



Recipe:
Head = Indiana Jones Russian soldier
Body = VC AT-ST driver

Looks good to me.

Great backstory.

Off to the front pages.

Thanks! I thought it was a quick way to get some variation and was pleased with the outcome.

Lews Willet, a padawan whose Master died to provide him and escape during order 66. A young teen trying to sort out all the emotions of what had transpired in his universe in a short time, he is found by Sumorn Jagga, who takes him under her wing as she collects masterless padawans and younglings.



Recipe:
Head, arms, and legs = Funko Stranger Things Will figure
Torso = Zett Jukassa

and (inspired by JDeck's build of Chiana from Farscape):

Euleria Raun - Euleria is an Echani. The Echani have a culture that is built around combat, so they are highly trained warriors specializing in melee weapons. Euleria left Eshan to find a way to use her skills to make a living, eventually making her way to Coruscant where she connected with Lady Shadowmark and is now a trusted member of her team (and she gets to use her combat skills regularly!):





Recipe:
Head = GI Joe Helix
Torso = Aayla Secura
Arms and legs = Zorii Bliss

Nice builds both. I definitely thought Farscape on that gal. Great backstories too.

Off to share once again on the front pages.

Thanks Tamer. When JDeck did his build (I think he called her Zima or something) I realized that I had all the parts sitting around, so decided to "borrow" from him - so the inspiration is really to his credit - but the backstory went a different direction.

[JDeck]

They look great man! Euleria's paint looks great,  I really need to repaint the one I made. Cool stories too.

Thanks JDeck! I was inspired to put her together after I saw yours. I liked your Arkanian hybrid idea, but didn't want to copy:) So I went Echani from the EU for my Star Wars version of Chiana. I hope you will show pics when you repaint.

For tonight:
When Lady Shadowmark needs discrete, precise surgical work she sends Euleria, but sometimes the mission profile calls for more force than finesse. This is what Skardossk lives for. He never fails to make a statement, whether is it to intimidate or eliminate. Rumors abound regarding the cybernetic implants in Skardossk’s head. Some think it is the result of years of gladiatorial combat, some say its from a hand-to-hand encounter with the great Wookiee chieftain Tarfful. One popular tale has Skardossk saving Lady Shadowmark’s life when she turned down an “offer” from the shadowy head of the Crimson Dawn, but everyone’s favorite is that he survived a run-in with Darth Vader. He likes to keep the air of mystery, knowing that it adds to his reputation.





Recipe:
Head, arms and feet = POTF Bossk
Body = Force Link Baze Malbus
cybernetics cut from a cast of a GI Joe figure (I don't know which one)

Boy am I missing my camera - the phone just doesn't take clear enough images. Hopefully I'll find it and be able to update some of these shots.

He looks great. I like him a lot. Nice work.

I love the work around his eyes!

Thanks! I thought it worked - and uses one of those Baze Malbus bodies pretty effectively:) There was a lot of fiddlely cutting to get those cybernetic parts - but my hands aren't steady enough to sculpt anything that small, so that's what I have to do.

[JDeck]

Cool trandoshan! Potf2 aien figures are actually pretty good even by today's standard. The Zuckuss i think looks better than the legacy one. Yeah the cybernetics on his eye is well done.
