Cool, tiny adjustments make for a huge improvement! I have three TAC Stormies, but I'm happy with the way they are.
While I'm here, check out QT-UT, which I made for a competition at Yakface:

Wow, cool droid, awesome paintjob.
Was this in any way inspired by KILL BILL? That's the first thing I was thinking.

Yep, hence the designation QT-UT. Shouldn't need any explanation, right?
Anyway, the story is he was an all purpose utility droid on the set of Kill Bill 1 & 2. This little fella stood in as reserve-backup-last-resort-stunt-triple for Uma Thurman and was supposed to direct the 5th and 6th unit. Unfortunately, his services were never called upon, so he just stood in a corner, acting as a water cooler...

QT-UT as in Q(uentin)T(arantino)-U(ma)T(hurman), I suppose? Now that's hilarious.  I hope you won the competition?

Nope, didn't win. I won once though. But it's not really a contest/competition. Just a bunch of figure-slicers coming up with weird and wonderful ideas. All entries go into a large digital hat and the winner's picked at random.

Hey, folks! It's been a while since I hit this thread, mainly because I haven't customized anything myself lately (I did some clone paint jobs when the ROTS figure line first came out). I'm a big fan of the Jedi Knight games, particularly Jedi Outcast, and almost to the same extent, Jedi Academy. It was natural that I would want to search the web for a custom Desann figure to see how folks interpreted him (since we have yet to see an EU figure of him).
To my dismay, try as I might, I couldn't find one. I checked everywhere I could think of and tried searching all different criteria, and came up empty. All I could find were custom "skins" for the JK games. So anyway, I've been working on creating the custom myself. He's about halfway finished as of last night and I should finish him this evening. I've never done a figure that required chopping up other figs or baking sculpey on them, so it's been a new experience. I may have some pics to post with the results by tomorrow...

Ugh...wound up visiting at someone else's house all evening last night, so Desann went mostly neglected. I should definitely have some photos by tomorrow though. I have very little to do to finish the figure, I just didn't have time to do it last night!

Okay, well, the Desann custom job has reached a stopping point for the time being. I like to call this my "Alpha" Desann, as, knowing me, I'll probably wind up touching it up as I learn new techniques. For now, though, it is what it is. The paint job looks a bit rough in spots, and I was torn between wanting to define the details on the armor and thinking it made it look too cartoony. So anyway, here it is...enjoy...sorry I'm not the best photographer...

I'd really like to do an orange hooded Reborn to go with the Desann, and maybe eventually a Shadow Trooper. Anyone have a suggestion for a figure that would work well as a Shadow Trooper? I'm thinking I'm going to sacrifice my least favorite figure, Throne Room Duel Luke, for the orange Reborn...assuming his posture doesn't make it look too crappy...

This particular thread isn't a very active one, is it? :P
Anyway, I put together a Reborn last night over the course of a few hours. The finished product looks pretty good...unfortunately, my photography skills somehow prevented me from getting a picture of it that captures its better angles...I think I should have shot some from slightly above rather than straight on - it makes the hood like kind of bulky shooting from beneath (which it is a bit). Anyway, here they are...there was a little bit of a rough spot on the cowl near the shoulder I didn't notice till I took the pics that I since cleaned up...

Those JKO customs are sweet, mate! You've set my mind twitching now! 
I'm currently working on a custom Yun from JK1, and maybe a Boc too (depends how difficult he's going to be). I'm very new to customising and I've only done head & limb swaps so far.
I made a couple of Hoth-Jaden figures (from JKA) a while ago;
Edit:
Jaden Korr (Kel-Dor species)
Jaden Korr (Rodian species)
Like I said, these seemed like the easiest options. We've all got to start somewhere!

Wow! Seriously nice work on those figures and the cards! The good thing about the Hoth Jaden outfits is that's one outfit that's universal no matter what species or outfit the player initially chooses. They are both very well done! I look forward to seeing how your Jedi Knight customs turn out. I was thinking about Yun a long time ago and wondering how a Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and a Bespin Security Guard hybrid would look, but I never did try it (not sure just how ideal the security guard head is anyway).
My complete customs page is at the link below. Right now the only other customs are some clone troopers I did back when ROTS first came out, but I hope to add some stuff down the road...

So I've got a decapitated 12" Hasbro Shaak Ti. What I would like to know is how to reattach the head. Can anyone help me?

I figured if anyone could help you folks could since you are always removing and replacing extremities on figures. I don't have the Shaak Ti to look at so I was no help.
