Bloody hell! Not just one Last 17 Star Wars figure customized, but two!?! That was a surprise for sure! I'm shocked but hey, I've already got those two. Otherwise I may have been swimming to the Isle of Man with a paint brush in my teeth.

Ok your point's are taken but the focus should be on my completed Red Shadows force not on what figures I'm using.

The original figure or vehicle is always a talking point when displaying Customs, just as is choice of paint, type of paint, choice of team and so on.

It just seems I get criticised for what I use Baron which distracts from the original point of me showing my Red Shadow collection. It's nice to get positive constructive views instead of why did you re-paint whatever figure.

i always like to know what people have used. especially if it's something that looks completely new.

Not a criticism, Ironblood, but an observation. I have trouble seeing past the figures used tho, because they are more familiar to me than AF figures are. I can appreciate the work put in and using the last 17's doesn't bother me. Just more a bit stunned that they were used than anything else.
And have you been doing sneaky SteveD type edits, Darth Ironblood? They are good jobs, apart from my hangups.

Cheers Chopper it's just annoying sometimes when others use Star Wars stuff and get oh that's great I get I can't believe you did that.

I'd take it as a compliment, it takes more ball's than I've got

Seriously, I can't recall who did the last one with SW parts, but that made a difference. It was just parts, not a whole figure and it made it really difficult to identify. Last week? Was it one of yours?

No I've never actually taken apart a figure to make something new Chopper. I know a few years back a more recent bossk was customised into a kraken. The last Star Wars thing I used was a medical droid I didn't customise it.

It would be fairly easy to mix and match SW with AF, I'd imagine. I still reckon that red tie pilot is the stand out chap too.
