Ralph McQuarrie Custom Contest

Imperial Shipyard's next Customs Contest!

Hot off the press, Luke Sprywalker announces the next custom contest: the Ralph McQuarrie Challenge. This one is wide open. You can create a custom figure, vehicle, or dio and as long as it is new work and is inspired by one of Mr. McQuarrie's Concepts (Yes, you need to show the artwork that inspired your custom). You can read the full details in the Contest Thread. We hope this can be a lasting tribute to the man who helped create our most favored hobby.

Dad threw this figure together and I painted him.  He is made from a Wilrow Hood body and Fi-Ek Sirch head and hands. The vest is from some G.I. Joe fodder and the hoses are from a Bossk figure and some other fodder we had laying around.
