I *love* civilian SW vehicles, and this swoop is really great.  Great work on all the customs you've shown!!!

Damn, VV, that BARC looks fantastic in crimson.   I never imagined it but works nicely.


Great work on SOTE Luke in his tan fishing vest too, further proof that super simple customs are sometimes just as effective as elaborate time consuming one.

Nice Barc, XF! The subtle weathering looks good on it.

Great work, Ryan!  I don't think I've seen you here in awhile.  Good to see you back.

Great Job,  the paint job really seems to change the lines and feel of the speeder, looks more more "pirate or swoop gang"  I like it,

- NFC: I just recently purchased the Zuckuss (my girlfriend was like "I do not know you" when I got all excited finding it in the store, haha), and actually managed to get the skirt looking just fine, just took a bit of pushing and shoving to tuck it in properly. I still really want to make it leather or brown vinyl, though... that would be spectacular, yes...
- Fiala: glad you like the bike! It was mainly me not wanting to eBay an old one, and being fairly sure I'd be dissatisfied with the shape anyways, lol.
- 00fire: thanks, glad you like them!
- Spud: you are totally right about people using old military stuff, just look at Jeeps! That was kind part of my reasoning behind using it, as well as just liking the overall shape of it.
- Clonesareawesome, Lukesprywalker,  Flaccideagle, Clonehead, USD and Reconsgt: thanks! Really glad you guys like it, always makes it worthwhile!
- Tamer: thanks! I love it when my stuff is front-page worthy, I'm a total attention whore, but isn't that part of the fun of this website? :D

Okay folks, I've finally got a working computer again (why I haven't been on here in forever), so hopefully I'll be back a lot more often now! Here are a couple customs I've been doing lately. First, we have my custom Admiral Ackbar: I basically shaved the little crab emblems off the Mon Cal warrior, made little utility belt boxes and an insignia, then repainted him with flat white (body suit) and cream (vest), and then gave his exposed parts a gloss clear coat to make him look a little more squiddy than his clothes!

Also, I recently got the Count Dooku with the soft-goods cape, and gave him the real-chain treatment I gave to my Vader figures. Enjoy!

WowTWos, Ryan, that ackbar did turn out nice! I like the chain treatment and the dooku, also.
It's good to see you back.

Loving the Ackbar, welcome back guy. On the front page again. I am anxious to hear your take on some of the new Vintage figures we are getting this year.
