Not do them as in customize them maybe. haha I'm a sucker for troopers. Its a slippery slope and I can't help it.

Re: Spud's Customs - Vedain
Are the pants a blend of two pairs of pants? I have the quilted ones - do you just meld them with a pair of reg pants at the knee?
And I think I confirmed this with Chakaman, but is the white shirt and the blue tunic both from Enaud, but everything else - the belts/pouches/helmet-hat all custom made? And I know Chakaman made his chest armor piece custom - does Enaud do that now, or you custom-made yours also?
It really looks stellar.
Thanks dudes.
Finished up the blue Nikto this weekend. Love how he came out. I have another set of hands for him so I can have him hold a pike as well.
Thanks for making this figure possible Duane! You're the man!

Thanks for typing that up - much appreciated!
Do you recall which dye you used on the Enaud vest? Looks to be more Rit aquamarine than royal blue. Color looks spot on.

Yeah, I used the Rit liquid teal. I was going to have to try and mix the color but I happened to be a Hobby Lobby and saw that they had teal and it was perfect.

Cheers Lopie!
So I had a nice weekend project...
Following along with the master.
I got all the LED lighting in place but I cant light it up yet because when I received the package from Jazz a corner had been torn and I think one of the adapters he provides was lost in shipping, but I've got a replacement on the way. I'm glad that's all that was missing.
I LOVE THIS DIORAMA!

Group shots of my Stormtroopers from ANH. A mix of Marmit, Sideshow, and Hot Toys. (and three Shapeways buckets)
Then I've got this setup at my work desk so Vader can oversee my projects personally.
Also have the Hero crew flanking me on the left.
Then in the customs department, I got Leia all situated using a mix of parts from Hasbro and the ACPlay set that recently came out.
Did some adjusting of this display cabinet in the way of moving the wooden shelf up one spot and attaching another light strip underneath it.
Separated the Marmits (and Hot Toys) from the Sideshows.

Yeah, I get so much inspiration from you guys. Just amazing, Spudtrooper!
And I love how the Hoth trooper is just off to the side and doesn't get his own shot - just too much goodness, even in the background and edges of frame.
