Thanks for the kind words. I really feel like doing another one but probably a white version with different arms. If I can get my hands on a cheap Koto, then I'll embark on it. But before I do that, I'll probably do a Gentle Giant with Koto arms and see how that turns out. What I like most about it is that you can make a custom figure and it's more exclusive than the one that Koto came up with.

Hi Paul
What is your range? There is someone on another forum selling for $90 MIB , i'm pretty sure it's negotiable since it's been lying in his sales thread for ages now .
Hope i can help, so that another custom can be born

I paid $60 for the Orange Trooper that I used to make the "Black" pauldron conversion. That was a good price but it had some broken parts. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers, Paul

Actually, I disagree. You have a very nice collection of Clone and Stormtroopers .... I like that you have focused on the troopers, and that you have built up your display around them. Excellent.
Would anyone like us to do a feature on Paul's small but nice collection ?

I've started working on a new Gentle Giant conversion piece and hope to finish it soon. Will post once it is completed. I know, I must be nuts to convert a Gentle Giant bust but I managed to get it at a steal.
Another Khooster con job

Finally finished this. Took the spare hands from the Koto conversion and implanted them onto a Gentle Giant Sandtrooper bust.
