Been away for a while, good to be back. Here is my take on the Visionaries Darth Maul. I liked the Hasbro Comic pack version but, in my opinion, it lacked something. So I set out to make one of my own. The torso is an Evolutions Shirtless Darth Maul. The extended horns are from a Savage Oppress figure. The hands are from a GI Joe figure with the jointed wrist articulation. For the legs, I used a Super Battle Droid upper leg and a Clone Wars General Grievous lower leg. I used Gametars Crysis Stalker figures for various cover parts for the legs. The hips were made with Lego Bionocle parts. The combining lightsaber is a Darth Maul saber fitted into a Pursuit of Cobra Storm Shadow chain weapon end. Enjoy.

Here is my original Sith Lord for the Old Republic Era - Darth Rapier. I was toying around with my extra parts (no pun intended) and came up with Darth Rapier. The base is a Unimax Gamestars Red Faction Winters figure with VC93 Darth Vader waist cape and legs, hands from a GI Joe figure, and the head is a Vintage Collection Quilan Vos with a Indiana Jones Cemetery Warrior skull. The lightsabers are custom, made from Storm Shadow swords and Darth Maul lightsaber blades. He is articulated with ball joints for the head, torso, shoulders, wrists, knees, ankles, hips and regular joints at the elbows. I feel like the outfit fits in well with the Old Republic Era. As always, comments are welcome.

I was messing around one day and came up with an idea: If Wookies are technologically sound, why not have an armored suit? So thanks to an extra Wookie Warrior and Iron Man drone, we have the Battle Armor Wookie. His Battle Visor flips up and down and his gun was kit-bashed from various Star Wars weapons. Enjoy

This is my latest custom. I love the Revoltech Alien Warrior but it was, in my opinion, too big for joe scale. When Hasbro re-tooled the Geonosian Warrior from the Star Wars line, I decided to take a stab at my own Super-poseable Alien Warrior. The figure can imitate almost every pose his Revoltech brother can and in a smaller scale. I've included Low Light to show scale PARTS: Body, Hands, Feet, Tail - Hot Toys Snap Kit Aliens Warrior Arms, Legs - Geonosian Warrior Head - Konami Alien Resurrection Warrior He has ball joints in the shoulders, elbows, head, torso, hips, knees, high ankles, low ankles, feet and hands. The top of the head can be removed to show the brain underneath. The tail is bendable. I painted him with Vallejo paints and coated him with Future for that oh so creepy shine. Enjoy.

I always liked the old Retaliator but I didn't like the crane pick up feature. I felt it should live up more to its namesake of an attack helicopter, so here's my version. It is made from a PTE Aerial Rocket Helicopter base, rockets from a PTE Little Bird, chain guns from a vintage AT-ST and the landing skids of a Dragonfly. I painted it a dark green overall with subtle weathering highlights here and there. I removed the rear doors and seats and added a bench to give more of an extraction infiltration helicopter feel. The pilot, updraft, was made from a ROC General Hawk upper body, 25th Lift Ticket Head, and 25th General Hawk legs. The helmet is from a 1:18 BBI Elite Force Blackhawk Pilot figure. The stickers are J. Ruben's Hammerhead decal sheet. Enjoy

This is my custom X-47 Reaper Attack Helicopter with custom pilot Scythe. The base is an old Blue Thunder Helicopter with a heavily modified cockpit and paraviper missile launchers attached. The engine and chin gun have also been modified. The pilot, Scythe, is a kit bash of 25th Clutch and Bazooka with web gear from a Pit Trooper and BBI Helmet. Enjoy and as always comments are welcome!

Here is my latest Predator Custom. I decided to try something new and go with a removable helmet and armor. I also decided to utilize the bronze color armor as seen in Predator 2.

Here's my latest Predator. I'm trying to complete the trio from Aliens vs. Predator. This one is also up for auction ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:IT&ih=016 ). Comments are welcome.

Yours look fantastic, which body did you use for the base?
