Just relooked at your leia. I see what you did there with the head. Nice!

These look really nice!  Inspired work with Ariq and Damono heads.  I was wondering what Sam Tarly looked like under all that paint!

Hi. Thanks for all the comments. Here’s some more Cantina Patrons.

Custom Saurins - Sia'torr Kal Fas and Hrchek Kal Fas (is that the right way round?): These don't actually use any parts from TLC version; I only managed to get one of those, and as there wasn't much that was screen accurate with it, I decided to do my own. Both use a Bossk head: 1 from 2010 Saga Legends SL-01, the other from Star Wars Saga collection 04/18. torsos are from Dr Who (Matt Smith - green jacket) figure. Arms from TBS Cassian Andor, the hands are also from the same Dr Who, with glue added for texture, then painted. Legs and belts from TLC Bane Malar. Jackets from TBS Toryn Farr.



Custom Garouf Lafoe: POTJ Rebel Trooper with Star Wars Saga collection Admiral Ozzel (04//16) head. Cap from Indiana Jones German Soldier figure, with goggles cut from Rogue One Jyn Erso (Eadu). Jacket modified from Dr Who (Matt Smith green jacket) figure.



Custom bald local (sat where Luke falls into the table. He also walks by when Han leaves the Cantina): Head is a modified POTF Admiral Motti. Torso, upper arms and skirt from POTJ Ben Kenobi. Legs from OTC Cantina 3-pack Ponda Baba. Hands from Ben from the same 3-pack. Forearms from TVC Bom Vimdin.



Custom ugly local (stood next to Chewbacca at the bar): Mainly an Indiana Jones Cemetery Warrior figure, with arms from Dr Henry Jones, and a modified POTF Dr Evazan head.



Thanks again.

Excellent customs and thanks for the recipes.
Dang, you use expensive fodder, but I can't deny the results are worth it.

Question, forgive my OCD.
Is the last custom 'unnamed ugly man #1' or 'unnamed local farmer'?

Thanks Sjefke
I actually managed to get some TBS Cassian's fairly cheap.
To answer your question: He's the unnamed local farmer, he's on Chewbacca's right at the bar and he's in the background with Merc Sunlet when Ben lights up.

Wooooow, I am amazed by all your cantina aliens! Again, thank you very much for sharing the recipes! I haven't managed to take a figure apart to use parts of it, yet. Do you just pull them apart or do you dremel them?
I especially like the two Trandoshans! The paint job and the parts you used for them are just perfect! And I think you spelled them correctly! ;) Hrcheck Kal Fas - fantastic to pronounce!
They all turned out great! You made a great choice of parts to use for this series of customs!
My personal favourite of this series is the "ugly local" aka "unnamed local farmer"! He just perfectly fits to Ben's description while he introduces Mos Eisley to Luke!
"Mos Eisley Spaceport - you'll never find a more rigid hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious!"

Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

Hi. Thanks again for all the comments. I don't often put work in progress images on, usually because I get carried away making something I forget to take pictures, but here's a few WIP for my updated head for Boelo. It uses a Jawa head from TBS Jawa 2-pack. The face is a separate piece that pops off, then I drilled out the inside.



Below shows a complete TBS Jawa head next to the drilled out version fitted on the Chief Bast head (Death Star Briefing set). I used the excess piece I cut from the hood as part of the scarf on the Labria custom I made.



I will post the finished version soon, with updated versions of the other two henchmen.

That is a great idea for the Boelo hood!  Nice job on your other cantina cohort, too!
