Post subject:  The Fallon Family: Tattooine Moisture Farmers

Nearly a dozen standard years ago Xiomi Fallon, heavy with her second child, and with her infant son Deak clinging to her leg, watched in horror as her brave husband Rand was brutally murdered defending their homestead from a Tusken Raider attack. She and Deak hid in the underground hangar for the family skyhopper until the Tusken Raiders took the water they were seeking and left, destroying much of their home and all of their droids in the process. Xiomi, with the help of her closest neighbors,rebuilt the home and replaced the droids, vowing to continue the family farming business as it was what Rand would have wanted.

Life is not easy for anyone on Tatooine, let alone a single mother raising two young boys, but Xiomi was more than up for the challenge. Through her hard work, her moisture farm soom became one of the biggest in the region. Her 2 sons, Deak and Jek lend a hand, Deak taking more and more responsibilities as he gets older. Deak has recently taken to carrying his father's rifle on his routine maintenance rounds as Tusken howls have recently been heard in the surrounding hills....

(Note: The figure of Jek is an older custom and is still in storage which is why he is not in the family portrait :( )

This is one of my longest running projects. I built Jek Fallon over 5 years ago (the figure's original title was "Moisture Farmer's Child") as part of a family of humans I wanted to have as part of the passenger compliment of a transport skiff making it's way into Mos Eisley. I finaly got around to making mom and big brother Deak this past week!

Really nice customs, all of them look production.

Yeah - these look great! I love the Carla Gugino head - I used it for my Admiral Daala a few years back.

Very cool. Neat idea, making figures that are kind of like extras.

Very nice work with these and with the other stuff you've posted recently. Great ideas and great follow-through on parts and paints.

I've got nothing to complain about, other than you not using the name "J'meah" for one of the Fallons. :lol:

I like these too. The Xiomi figure could also pass excellently as a Shannara Ellcrys Chosen. Great work on the whole set.

I cannot stand Jimmy Fallon, I had actually named this family without even thinking of him :rotfl:
