Modding Minis... you know you love it!
I know I do!
Anyone else out there get a kick out of trying to make their little dudes LOOK like their characters? Hell, does anyone else out there play SWRPG over the table with minis? I have a lot of fun with it, anyway!! And would totally love to see anyone else's work, if there indeed IS anyone else that indulges in the frustration of creating teeny tiny war heroes. XD Heh.
Here's some of mine, if it helps get the ball rolling. :D
Tusserk! This is my little 'me', I love him to pieces. His robes are both a nod to his Corellian Master and his family on Alderaan, with the outer layer styled somewhat after an Alderaanian long coat. Repositioned his arm, and adjusted his snout slightly to better resemble the way I draw him!
More Tusserks. Original Tusserk was my first ever mod, and it's not very good, hah! He was green back then, too, back when he still inhabited the body he was born with. Then there's Tusserk-riding-Ora, featuring a slight paint adjustment on the varactyl and a heavily massacred Obi-Wan mini. ;)
Frakking Toaster! Our droid- who later turned out to be an Iron Knight- who has gone through so many incarnates its not funny! I killed myself over this mini, he has far more glue slathered over him than should ever be allowed. XD
Lonar. Our Twi'lek 'Captain', who at one stage was loosely affiliated with the Jensaarai. He doesn't really follow their philosophies any more, but he hangs onto the armour- modeled after a sand panther.
Klopan! Our beloved Ryn, both in and out of his armour! I love the way he turned out, I guess I like making Ryn! And yeah, he's got Jango's armour. Boba is naaawt going to be impressed if we ever run into him in game!!
Nimeq and Attichuk! No, not Chewie's dad. ;) Just our token wookiee NPC with a bit of a paint job, new hairdo, and a badass grav hammer. Nimeq, our Zabrak medic/professional soldier, was modded by her player. Bigger gun, paint job, and (somewhat re-tailored) robes we stole from an Imperial Guard...
Kit! Kit was my stand-in character while Tusserk was "dead". (Oh maaaaaaan it is fun convincing the rest of the party that your character is dead and gone forever...!) She's an Amaran Antarian Ranger, cute as all hell but not especially bright.
NPCs ho! We love our NPCs! The big guy is Frank. Frank is... ahh, special. And somewhat the result of having a mad scientist appear early on in the campaign. I haven't actually finished making him; he's meant to have big scary Acklay legs. They're coming. :P And our little Ranat, Ruttager. We're currently keeping the poor guy in a coma while we find a way to deal with his... issues. And V2-Alpha! Imagine Futurama's Zap Brannigan... in a droid body... and actually COMPETENT. He's both a hilarious and terrifying NPC to have around.

Great job, and great photos! Sounds like you have an awesome gaming group. Also, I can see you took a little time getting the poses, backgrounds, and focus just right. Awesome. :)
My favourite is 'Frank'!

Thanks! :D Especially for the feedback on the photos themselves... I do try! Focusing on the little buggers can be such a pain, heh.
Yeah, I love my group to bits and pieces. It'll be sad when the campaign is finally done! GM keeps joking that I'm not actually going to get Frank finished before the game ends, but I'm getting there... I've just finished murdering an Acklay mini to get his legs right...

Love that Varactyl!
