MCScoobyT, brilliant use of parts there...Brilliant!

Excellent additions everyone!

Here is my fourth entry to the contest...Jabba's Biker Goon. I actually bought a second Enfys Nest Speeder for this guy to eventually pilot.

Man, another fantastic figure. The "Villie" head is an awesome choice. I may have to track one of those figures down. I recognize the body parts but what is the bandolier from?

Some great entries posted so far. Here's my first set of contributions, a smuggling crew:
Operating off of Batuu, the crew of the Glaring Gorgon will transport whatever you've got. Spice, weapons, lothcats; it's all the same to them as long as your credits are good.

Captain Aanya Dez- A twi'lek hailing from Nar Shaddaa, Captain Dez started smuggling in order to find her way off the filthy moon. She named her ship, the Glaring Gorgon, after a derisive nickname she earned due to her fiery stare.

First Mate Corwin Halsted- The siniteen Corwin had previously had his own ship and competed with Aanya for contracts, but once they helped each other escape Taris after they were both double-crossed by the same hutt, they decided they made better partners than competitors.

Jahan Aurem- The ship's mechanic, Jahan lost his leg in an explosion in the engine room when he overtaxed the Gorgon's failing hyperdrive trying to escape an Imperial patrol. He considers the incident a success since the crew did manage to get away, and wears his scavenged droid prosthetic with pride.

LFT-92- A reprogrammed load-lifter droid, in addition to loading the ship's cargo, LFT-92 can also serve as extra muscle whenever the crew find themselves in a fight.

Dang! I just saw that Ironman figure in a thrift shop and left it behind. I didn't think I needed it.

Here are some easy swaps. I didn't paint any but I might later on (especially the Delphinian Dad/Son combo so their colors match). The son is a random Yujin toy.
The human head is from a playschool-type Wrestler.

Here is the next member of Capt. Greiger's crew, Dr. Sinrov Mol. He is a Snivvian male affectionately know as "Doc" to the crew of the Storm Crow and was once a prominent surgeon on Coruscant. He had a weakness for gambling and often ventured to Coruscant's lower levels to play sabacc at the Spyder, a gambling parlor frequented by black sun operatives. It was here that a few bad hands landed him in debt with Black Sun. When it came time to make good on his debts, Black Sun knew that his services as a skilled surgeon were more valuable to them than some measly credits and he quickly became tangled up in their criminal activities. Eventually this led to him losing his license to practice medicine on Coruscant and before long he was operating out of Black Sun controlled medical instillations throughout the galaxy and making house calls to patch up their operatives. Doc met Capt. Greiger while tending to a large laceration through Greiger's left cheek and eye area following a bar fight with a Gran. Following Black Suns fall, Greiger offered Doc a job as part of his crew. Doc now serves two main functions, he provides medical support for the crew and long range cover fire during their "activities".


Doc is made from a BS Rose body, the belt from an Endor Han, and hands from a BS Finn. (Trying to put those $4 Walmart figures to use lol) I pulled the hair off of Rose's head and then sculpted the Snivvian head over the top with Aves. A little bit of paint, a scrap of cloth, and a rifle from my fodder pile and he was done.

I really like the crew of the Glaring Gorgon. And EndorJunkie what a great use of the Rose buck for a character! Good job sculpting the Snivvian head too.

Li’l Klee – The youngest of fourteen children in his Gigoran family, Klee was often called “Little One” or “Little Klee” because of his place in the birth order. So familiar with the sobriquet was he, that Klee adopted the “Little” as part of his name and always introduces himself as “Li’l Klee.” As with many of his species, he was taken captive by slavers and sold into a life of hard labor. Unsatisfied with life as a slave, Li’l Klee managed to escape and, in the process, kill a representative of the Mytaranor Slaver Council, leading to a substantial price being put on his head. Li’l Klee has moved about consistently since, not wanting to be captured as a murderer or an escaped slave. Recently, he has found a quiet place as a “deck hand” aboard Rig Sarkia’s Little Boy.

Droger "Drog" Kazan Growing up alongside Valdo Kurr, it was no surprise when Drog became a member of the Dirty Mynocks. He is undyingly loyal to Valdo and would lay down his life for him. He is second in command of the Mynocks and has full authority over the gang. Drog lives his life like the way he rides his swoop; fast and hard.

Rouge One is the call sign for this band of (mostly) Zeltron criminals.






Captain Red leads the group. She thought it would be fun to try her hand as a smuggler but was in the wrong place at the wrong time so now she and her crew are all wanted. She travels where her whims take her and goes through crew at a surprising rate.

She is seen here talking to 3 of her crew. Agony and Ecstacy would make excellent courtesans if they remembered to get paid. Since they are identical twins, and they often exchange clothes, one never knows which one they are getting until it is already too late.

Itty Bitty is really considered more of a pet than crew although he (she?) has proven to be very useful as an infiltrator. Itty never speaks but seems to understand what is asked of it. Red was lucky to find Itty in the middle of a mission when her crew was trapped behind enemy lines and her lead scout disappeared on them. Itty created web threads that allowed her crew to escape. Now Itty clears Red's ship of vermin and keeps growing.

Red doesn't keep track of her crew, letting them do their own things. However, she is beginning to suspect they are disappearing rather than going off on their own since they usually leave all their gear and credits behind.

Zeltrons are repainted Yujin toys and Itty Bitty is a painted 3D printed Peacock spider. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2809155

r1g4r3po Nice custom. It is a good use of an excess Hux figure. I also don't notice things until after my camera picks them up.

EndorJunkie. I like your sculpting there.

Starchaser That was a nice use of parts.

darthapathy. Nice use of Baze's head there. It matches the body in a way that reminds me of Kybo Ren. Expect to see the torso sometime soon here.

Great looking stuff everyone! There have been some really cool figures so far!

The final crew member of the Storm Crow is BLP-172 or "Blip" as he is known to the crew. He is a class 2 engineering droid and his primary function is that of ships mechanic. However, a number of reprogrammings and uploads over the years have "crossed a few wires" in his programing and Blip is a little bit of a loose cannon. He can be quite mouthy, hurls insults for fun, and has a propensity for making things explode. His engineering protocols come in handy when the crew needs to find its way into "restricted" areas and his small frame is useful when access to small and/or tight fitting places is needed. Needless to say, he is right at home on the Storm Crow.


BLP-172 is made from he body of a pit droid and the head off of some cheap robot figure from a dollar store.

Ari Jandor The Corellian born Ari Jandor ended up on Stessa III as a teenager. The daughter of free traders who plied the spacelanes, she found this backwater world boring and tedious. That was until she met Valdo Kurr. She was instantly smitten with him and did what she could to impress him. She "borrowed" a swoop and challenged him to a race. It is still unclear to this day if she actually beat him or he let her win.
Ari is often brash and reckless and a complete thrillseeker.

Here is another entry of mine, a custom KEENSER DROID TECHNICIAN custom figure. Keenser builds, repairs, and programs droids that he installs with hidden programming that turns each droid he sells into thieves that steal from their new owners. The hidden programming allows each droid to bypass any restraining bolt they have attached to them. At various times, Keenser's reprogrammed thieving droids bring him any items they have stolen and then those same droids quickly return to their owners to secretly steal more valuables.

This 1:18 scale multi-articulated action figure features:

- Custom figure is fully poseable and has multiple points of articulation

- Custom painted resin cast head

- Custom painted resin cast pit droid

- Custom sculpted and painted scanner tool

- Custom painted figure stands 3 1/8 inches tall.
