Thanks! It's heavily weathered.. I'm still working on the fine details, but it should be done soon. :wink:
Nice stuff, thanks for sharing with us!
The Jedi looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of that head, but I really like the rest of the figure... pretty battle hardened it seems, and a good mix between soft goods and plastic.
The gunship is nice as well. Looks like the paint is chipping where the clones stand? Or is that intended? I'd suggest giving this thing a bit of battle damage perhaps, it might really add an element of realism.
Great work, and again thanks for sharing your customs here!

The area where the clones stand is very.. erm.. messy. It's covered in mud, dried blood, and a mixture of dirt and grime from the planet..The area in the front needs a touch-up in the same manner.. :wink: Thanks for the feedback on the Jedi! I really like his over-all look. And believe me, that was the best head I currently have.. 
Bump! Update on my new stuff. I am currently in the process of repainting my gunship. She looks scratchy now, but I wanted to show off her mean noseart, and my Jedi-Starfighter.. :wink:
Hey ARC,
Most of your photos are showing up as broken links; if you fix that I'd love to see some of your older work. As it stands, I can only comment on the Starship mods. The addition of the Jedi symbol to the starfighter is pretty cool. I also like where the gunship is going, but it looks like you used a brush on it...I would have recommended an airbrush, or as a cheaper alternative, some good spraypaint that's designed for use on plastics. It will give you a nice, smooth finish.
I'd also hit the black with a dullcote to make it look more realistic. The Monkey-Lizard applique looks cool, but needs some careful trimming, as a few areas clearly show where it was cut out. I'd also invest in some quality clear sticker paper, as it looks like you may have gone the regular paper route. Those few tweaks will bring this baby home nicely.

Now that's a great way to make a Mando look very tough - use a Dooku head and "shave" off the beard... he definitely looks mean. You could maybe try using sandpaper to smooth out his face just a bit, but it still looks nice and a LOT better than the wussy looking faces that Hasbro gave all those Mandos!
:wink:

Don't degrade yourself. I used to say the same thing, but look at my customs now. :wink: Anything is possible if you've got the need to reach for it! 8)
