Great finished product on your diorama! Also loving these Rebels you are creating.

 Thanks Spry, next week ought to be a Rodian commando, but I'm not sure if I'll use a different base figure from what I have. The official dio for these guys is still pending but I'm leaning towards Ord Mantell cantina.

Update on the front page. I really like your alien pilots.

Great job !  Especially the mon cal pilot !

[JDeck]

Thank you Tamer and Mr Jedi, I'm pretty new to figure building but I can see I'm getting better. I agree the Mon Cal does stand out as my favorite. There are more rebels to come. I really want to figure out how to build a Bothan head. There is only one Bothan figure and I'm not fond of the sculpt at $20. I thought about taking a vinyl goat figurine head and sculpt around it make it more humanoid. We shall see.

Tonight's Friday night figure is Rodian rebel.

[Tamer]

This Rodian looks good on the front page.

[JDeck]

Thanks again Tamer for the FP slot. Not much to say about the Rodian, just a simple head and hand swap. Just something different from a normal human commando. I did have to make his wrists/cuffs out of putty and paint his neck post. I like to keep my guys simple.

that is one cool lookin Rodian ..looks more like a mercenary

[JDeck]

Thanks TS yeah he could be a mercenary. In my SW universe the Renegade Squadron is made up of scoundrels, smugglers, spice dealers, bounty hunters, anyone who has a problem with imperial authority. They don't share the ideology of the Rebel Alliance and distrust their authority if and when they gain control of the galaxy. But as for the moment they're a hell of a lot better than the Empire.

My advice is if it ain't broke don't fix it. Sometimes I wonder why Hasbro doesn't have a fun day and between their SW, JOE, Marvel and other lines why they don't they just put parts together and see what turns out.

Another great looking figure mate and the parts really work great together.

 Totally agree Tamer. I want to know why Hasbro doesn't use its SL11 stormtrooper head on TBS stormtroopers. It looks a lot better. But I guess it makes guys like us buy both figures to make one figure that Hasbro should have made in the first place.

  Thanks Ron it takes a good eye to look a two or three figures and imagine them put together I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Next week I'm taking a break from my Rebels and building an Imperial dio with some custom Officers and Storm troops.

[Tamer]

Now that would make a good question to Hasbro we could ask during Toy Fair if you want to post it. I love the idea.

JDeck, don't know how I missed the Rodian entry, but ironically I'm working on a similar figure right now. He looks great and is perfect edition to Col. Serra's Renegade Squad. BTW, what's the recipe for Serra's head?

Thanks glad you like them. Col Serra was just bespin han body + episode II obiwan head. I colored the beard and the jacket and added an eyepatch with putty. I'd like to re-do the eyepatch but its alright for now.
