There were about 6-7 of us that did most of the work and it was quite an endeaver. Gwek posted them at several sites ... I think this one still works http://www.mediafire.com/?g3hjhy8jbyri7jaIf it doesn't work, let me know. Cheers, S

That was a fun project! I indexed it to my computer in case it ever went missing... as im sure a lot of people did haha.
Most of the customs were simple enough that all you needed was the parts list and the picture of the finished mini (such as Jar Jar, Bombad Prankster). I think revan was the hardest from that set, but I use my Ithorian jedi general as a "Counts as" for the Roronn from that set

Those are all great! I especially love Captain Fordo since I have an affection for the ARC troopers from that cartoon (style wise) and that is an amazing custom for him.

Lol, showing my age there a bit, how could I conflate the two?! haha The customs in the New Lost Twenty were really fun to make; mostly Heroclix were optional I think, since there was a stricter budget than the original Lost Twenty project. There were alternate options for the more advanced customisers (which is fancy for "those willing to get their thumbs cut up" ) I think the easiest option for Fordo was the 501st trooper with 2 pistols, just a simple repaint needed. You could optionally add greenstuff kamas (the 'skirt'/kilt ARC's wear) or you could do the harder version with a Kashyyk trooper, and a crouching CT from the clonestrike set, with greenstuff detailing (arctrooper-a79s version). Its worth the effort on the harder version IMHO. The alto stratus was I think a Nimbus Commando figure from RotS with an arm repose. You could easily use several D&D figures or heroclix or dreamblade (maybe even tamiya?) figures as a base for this figure. It was another challenging one... (personally, stuck my fingures together and stabbed my thigh making it lol)
