Thanks, they're from a guy called Watto's Scrapyard that does 3D printing. He's on Instagram and sells on ebay. They're a little pricey, I think(cuz I'm cheap), at $15 a head, but where else you going to get them? You just have to paint them. That's why I love his Imperials and Rebel pilots, really the only work is painting the heads and helmets, the bodies are all relatively the same--cheat code. 90% of his stuff is Star Wars. I don't even want to admit how much I spent on his stuff in the past six months, but let's just say I have enough for at least a year of SWs customs, lol.

This was one I wanted to do for a while but couldn't find a long coat I liked. Through some serendipity I needed a pair of glasses for another custom, I bought a random Harry Potter figure just for the glasses and tossed the rest to the side. But then I started working on Captain Antilles here, and I thought the jacket Harry was wearing might work since that line of figures are seven inches, so after greatly modifying the collar, and gluing on some pockets from a couple Fleet Troopers, I was really happy with results. Happy enough to finish him, lol. Sometimes you have a complete plan from the get go, and sometimes something comes along during the process to complete the idea. Either way...

I always thought so, but apparently not. I just assumed Raymus was Wedge's dad. Supposedly "Antilles" is like "Johnson" in a galaxy far, far way according to Wookiepedia.

Wow. That's an awfully specific, evocative name to make really common in your shared universe. I wonder if it's also used as slang in the same way Johnson is.

I'm starting to wonder if Wedge is actually a nickname.
