Okay - finished this one up tonight... should have at least one more custom for this.

Rykrof Enloe - Here's Rykrof in undercover gear... I've had a desire to make something kind of like this for a while, really ever since seeing Galen Marek's awesome look on Raxus Prime in The Force Unleashed... I ended up liking this design and think he might work out well in Chapter 32 in the series as there's a need for something kind of like this for a scene.

arms - TAC Tycho Celchu

That is an awesome look for Rykrof Chewie, I love it! It would be very cool to see him sporting this look in Chapter 32! :wink:

Hey all, here are two more entries. My take on General Tinte from the photonovel "Chronicles of Orion Company" by Squirepec7. Also my take on Vash from "Dark Child Chronicles" by Julianmaurice. Tinte and Vash are straight off my customizing table to this site to beat the deadline.

OK, this is kind of cutting it close but I've got one done and one that I don't think that I'll be able to get done by tomorrow.
Here is my take on Dilbun Vont from Memoirs of a War Profiteer by Darth Depressis.

I kind of rushed these pictures. I didn't think that I would ever get them posted unless I took them tonight. I'll try to take some better shots tomorrow.
Anyway, here's the parts list
HEAD: Corps figure
TORSO: Hem Dazon
ARMS: Indiana Jones Russian soldier
UPPER LEGS: Baron Soontir Fel
LOWER LEGS: Pons Limbic
BELT: Indiana Jones Russian soldier

And here is an unfinished version of the bounty hunter Travillar from Shadow's Dawn by Jedistyle.

Ok, here are my two entries.

First off is Freelo as a Republic Pilot. As the Clone Wars came to an end, there were small skirmishes that flared up on various worlds. Freelo just happened to be on a warship when a distress call came through. A new commander, not knowing his pilots, ordered Freelo to suit up. Luckily for Freelo, by the time he got to the ships there weren't any without pilots and he was able to quickly slip away unnoticed.

The second one is Ace Azzameen. He was captured by weapons smugglers and forced to work for them. This lasted only a short while because after capturing him the ship crashed landed on a desert world and Ace was the only survivor. Digging through the wreckage he was able to find bits of clone trooper armor, a rifle, and a speeder bike to get him safely to the next spaceport.

Very nice late additions guys, way to step up to the plate. :)

Luke Sprywalker - Nice to see you join in the fun, and the Ace is a simple but nice version of him. He really looks cool with that jacket and helmet on.

I-am-Boba-Fett - Really like the clean look ok Tinte, I do like some grime and rustic weathering on a lot of figures, but I also think there's a place for characters to appear in cleaner attire. Vash also looks good, but the Jedi is even better I think.

Ernest Borgnine - Wow, Dilbun Vont never looked better! Really, Darth Depressis should look at this for reference too - it's fantastic. The parts really go well together... Travillar may be unfinished, but looks like he's off to a great start. Love the mechanical arm.

Trooper31 - Nice rendition of Ace, I can totally see him in gear like that for some reason... and I'd love to see the character in a more desperate situation like that in a photonovel too; something totally unexpected for the reader. I also love the Freelo - that brings to mind some memories for me of his very first appearance in a photonovel...

Looking back at those... the pics are pretty bad compared to the current stories, but I kind of miss those early photonovel days.

Wow, Chewie, I forgot all about that part of the story. It must have been subliminally in my mind when I made the custom. It just seemed a natural for Freelo to be in the pilot gear.

There were a lot of really cool customs in this round. I really enjoyed seeing them posted over the last few months.

I-am-Boba-Fett: Tinte and Vash are both great, I honestly can't choose a favorite!

Ernest Borgnine: Loving Dilbun Vont, and Travillar may be a WIP, but he's definately looking good!

Trooper31: The pilots gear looks awesome on Freelo, and Ace looks very cool, I love the back story!

Luke Sprywalker: Ace looks great, and I love that you've kept the jacket from home on him!

Some really awesome work on all of those figures, guys! :D

WOW! what an amazing theme! and what fantastic customs all of them.

I have to say my preference has to be the Azzameens, all of them are fantastic, and the back story on the Clone gear Ace was very interesting indeed. To my knowledge Hasbro never released any characters or ships to do with the popular X-Wing game X-Wing Alliance, so it's great seeing customs of my favourite characters.

I also like Dilbun Vont, it was great seeing him here as well.

Of course technical excellence has to go to Chewie, who seems to always be at the top of the game when it comes to customising figures...photography is also top notch.

I only wish I would have seen this post sooner as I would have loved to take part.

Well done everyone...
