A few additions to the collection.

CP Models figure with the right hand removed and a Stargrave hand and blaster added:



Another Mandalorian made from a Stargrave body and arms, Diehard Miniatures helmet and Anvil Industries blasters, holsters and jet pack:







Introducing To’Beh Syxx head of the Elektryk Syxx Crime Syndicate on Nevarro.

From Alternative Armies, I love the sculpt and his pet, but feel the hover chair is a bit of a let down with the sculpting a little crude, especially the sides and the back. Shame as he was great fun to paint.









Diehard Miniatures droid:

It's really inspiring seeing how much you have managed to do with the Stargrave sets. Love what you've done with the CP alien - hard to make an alien face convey irritation, but I feel like that's what you've done. His colour choices are very 'construction worker' too - he's oozing character.

Thank you.

The dude in the chair squares with my vision of Lord Harkonnen from the Dune books (the movie version was not bad, either - the most recent one).  And that is fitting for Star Wars given how much of the movie series was inspired by the books.

I actually like the simplicity and roughness of the chair, as his own naked and bloated form suggests he doesn’t really care what others think. It speaks to a shabby, corrupt, etc., mentality.

Those first two are fantastic, really good colour choices.

I also agree with SI about the chair, it seems to fit right in.

Any more Russian hats to come?

Yes, that would be good. I'm assuming there are more criminal gangs on their way? A Star Wars turf war would be cool.
