	Hello, I’m an occasional lurker who likes collecting Star Wars miniatures. With plenty of extra minis I have (common and uncommon), I like to repaint/customize them into other Star Wars characters, and sometimes folks from Marvel Comics (mostly X-Men). Here be some for ye all to see. AT-PT Driver (based on their helmet in the game Star Wars: Force Commander. Telos Security Guard from KOTOR2 Tekli of the NJO novel series Gar Stazi of Star Wars: Legacy Sev’rance Tann from the Clone Campaigns of SW: Galactic Battlegrounds. Jor Drakas, also from Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns Corran Horn’s X-Wing, based on the X-Wing comic series (Family Ties) Plus here are some that I’ve already shown in the EUC forum, the majority of them are Yuuzhan Vong. Nas Choka Prefect Da’Gara A Chazrach Warrior, based on descriptions in the NJO novels and sourcebook. Hopefully the upcoming Invasion series will clarify this, preferably to what I’ve got done. A Yuuzhan Vong Priestess who, from last week, I’ve decided to give a name: Zeyl Yeen Another from the Legacy comics: Marasiah Fel, Imperial Knight Later on, I’ll post some more pics of my redone minis. Maybe some Marvel ones as well. -----signature----- High Priest of the Deception Sect, Yuuzhan'tar the Yuuzhan Vong Homeworld Proud Recipient of the Golden Elegos™ My Redone Miniatures: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/29881641/p1/

	Awesome! I've always wanted my favorite EU characters as action figures, but I couldn't do what you do. I'd like to see more! -----signature----- "If. . .

	Glad ye's all like my work so far. I appreciated the comments, and Sia is also one of my favorites, both the custom and the character herself. Now here are more redone minis. Just a note that while toothpicks may not be the ideal substitute for lightsaber blades, they're better than nothing. Kith Kark from the Freedon Nadd Uprising A Novatrooper, based on a picture I saw years ago about SW: Galaxies Darnada, from the comic book mini-series starring Darth Maul R5-M2, based on its very brief appearance in ESB Darth Maleval of Star Wars: Legacy Here’s a couple of Sith I made up, also from Darth Krayt’s Sith Order. Darth Mailoc Darth Riborn Now here be some Marvel (X-Men) characters that I’ve done from spare Star Wars minis: Cable Domino Siena Blaze, Upstart Abyss, Horseman of Apocalypse I intend to bring up more later this week. -----signature----- High Priest of the Deception Sect, Yuuzhan'tar the Yuuzhan Vong Homeworld Proud Recipient of the Golden Elegos™ My Redone Miniatures: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/29881641/p1/

	Man, my mouth is hanging open: those figures must've taken many hours to paint and decorate as you've done--so much fine detailing! How cool! I'm with Blue: the Yuuzhan Vong are particularly great, but the Sith from Legacy are also extremely cool! Very nice work! FF -----signature----- "Hear me, Baby? Hold together..."

	Thank you all again for the wonderful words. This is my main hobby, and I’m glad you folks like it. Kiyuuchan posted: How do you make these ? Well, I try to use the acrylic paints that best match the colors of the characters in the books/games/etc. For extra parts like lightsaber blades and uniform additions, I tend to use spare pieces of hard plastic and the previously mentioned toothpicks. Sometimes I find pieces from unused model sets to be a gold mine of sorts. When cutting off certain parts from the minis, I usually save those tiny pieces for later. No matter how insignificant they look they have an uncanny knack for being handy in later works. I’ve done this a lot of times with blasters, taking them off one mini and glue them to another. I also found that globs of paint dried overnight also make good additional pieces. That’s what I used as hair for Nas Choka and Marasiah Fel. When it comes to painting the little guys, lots of light makes for great help, if not the best. Here are more remade miniatures of mine, some more modest than others: Star Wars: Darth Ruyn of Legacy Windo “Warble” Nend from Last Stand at Jabiim D-60 Assault Droid from Timothy Zahn’s Hero of Cartao A repainted Twi’lek bodyguard. Based on the Twin Suns from KOTOR2, but with different color tones. Marvel: Mikhail Rasputin, Colossus’s brother Toad Bastion, from Operation: Zero Tolerance Ghost Rider 2099 Again, more to come later. -----signature----- High Priest of the Deception Sect, Yuuzhan'tar the Yuuzhan Vong Homeworld Proud Recipient of the Golden Elegos™ My Redone Miniatures: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/29881641/p1/

	Wonderful custom figures! I'm curious: do you begin with stock figures, then customize, or do you fashion your own new figures with stock figures as references...? The poses are wonderful (the Twi'lek bodyguard in particular is great!), very dynamic and filled with energy. How big are these (inches or cm, whichever you normally use)? They appear very small--which makes me respect your dedication and care even more! Great stuff! FF -----signature----- "Hear me, Baby? Hold together..."
