Awesome stuff! One of the cleanest Kyle Katarn customs I've seen for sure. Skiff Guards also look great. Impressed by the color matching you've managed there.

What's the book you're using to reference your skiff guards? Looks very handy!

Thanks a lot!!

The book is called
Star Wars Costumes
The original Trilogy

Have finished a few more: Kithaba, Barada, Kyle Katarn - thanks to Chakaman and Cagoda for the inspiration how to best approach the Skiff guards








This might be the best 1/6 scale "Doggy-guard" custom I've seen so far. Holds up really well next to that reference pic as well.

It looks great. I'm looking to do the Endor troopers too. Do you remember what belt you used?
