    Hey guys, another project and by far my favorite figure. Love all the details presented and it really gives you a lot to work with. I plan to give the figure a full arsenal of weapons including his dual blades that attach via his wrist and handheld blades such as in the third movie. All so plan on a triple barrel blaster, axe, dual cannons from ROTF, dual multiple purpose cannons from DOTM and an accurate jet-pack. Still loads of work to do but here are some quick pics.

    Update: Hey guys, just a quick update on my project. Still tons of work to do but I thought I should show some progress. Here is a quick pic of the figure itself, nearly complete, I just need a few more added adjustments until its complete.

    Update 2: What's up everyone, another quick update. I finally had some spare time to work on this project and decided to work on his dual multipurpose cannons, I would have liked to start on his jet pack but still waiting on some parts to arrive. Oh well, I started on his left cannon and I'm about half way done, give or take a few adjustments. Here are some quick shots of the cannon, let me know what you think!

    Update 3: Hey guys.. again. Very quick update. Nearly complete with the jet-pack, here's a quick pic.

    Update 4: Hey once again! I recently decided to completely repaint the figure in much more vibrant red and blue metallic colors instead of keeping the bland blue and red plastic. It was actually much easier then expected and got a hold of some custom flame stencils with the help of fellow member PixelMagic, once again really appreciate the help! The repaint turned out great and thought I should show you guys. Once again, I do plan to take more professional pictures later but for now, here ya go!
