I'd been planning to do this guy for some time, and when Dan Curto announced him as a "Character Call" for the customs listserv, it helped kick me into finishing him. I had always intended to use Phillipe's head as the receding hairline looked very nice. I opted for the Biggs torso simply because it was economical. I used the TIE arms because they have the imp insignia on them, and I used the pilot legs out of necessity, a decision I regret now. I wish I'd used Biggs' legs as well.
The helmet was the most fun. I figured that since he was fighting for an independent branch of the former empire, he'd be allowed to have a custom helmet. I would have liked, and would still like, to paint some "hand of Thrawn" symbols on the helmet, but don't quite know how, or what they'd look like.
UPDATE!!
A second version of this character was made, shown below:
