Oh it was pronounced enough. I was just messing. Hilarious.

I could so see an Ewok taking on a grumpy personification like Grumpy Smurf. I guess I could be dating myself with that one.

Exactly. I was thinking along the lines of Dennis the Menace. He pulls pranks on people, steals their stuff. Everyone just calls him Lil Bastard.

I love the sound of him. Everyone hides their good stuff when he is in town.

The Zima figure is excellent, Chiana was a favorite for Farscape.  I keep trying to figure out a way to make a D'Argo in 3.75.
The Ewok is awesome.  Not enough ewoks out there stirring up trouble :)

Thank you. I did a little work on the lil' Bastard, been lazy lately. The belts need a lot more work.

I got a 1/18 Joy Toys german mortar, for my Mortar trooper. Also made a backpack with the sandtrooper cylinder grenade things that go on the back of the belt. The figure is just a painted R1 Stormtrooper with a painted pauldron. The TVC Stormtrooper Luke works better for pauldrons FYI. R1 ones, the head pops off frequently.

That mortar trooper just looks great. Spot on from the last episode. You didn't waste any time. Man, thats nice.

I can see lil b sitting in a modded out AT-ST giving the Imps the finger! I could so see and adult animated series centered on this guy. Fantastic.

Off to the front pages.

Thank you! I just need to add details to the ewok. I want to give him like a Dennis The Menace slingshot or a blaster or something similar. Ezra briger had something like that.

I've been adding to my Stormtrooper collection. I now have a full platoon plus extras. My custom incinerator trooper will be replaced by the WM exclusive one, because mine is too dirty for inspection. Just waiting for Moff Gideon and Vader to arrive. I'm tryingto figure out a display for them.

Whoa - that's quite an army. I don't think I've got space for that many troopers. BTW - I really like how the mortar trooper turned out.

Thank you. I set out 90% of my stormtroopers. 60 of them to be exact. A little over a platoon. I still have a squad left, but I ran out of figure stands. I think I'll get a Utillity shelf that is 24"x48"x72" which is considerably bigger than the one I have. Also it will have an industrial look, that I can use to create a shelf diorama.

Did I see you on another site under the moniker "Greedo McClunky"?  If so, when you display your pioneers will you put a beard and fur hat on at least one?  ;)

It will be great to see what you do with em.

Is the RO VC Stormy still your favorite stormtrooper?

Yes I am greedo McClunky. The reason I say pioneers, is because of the flamethrower. Only pioneer groups use flamethrowers. It wouldn't make any sense to have an incineratortrooper in the same unit as a mortar trooper. One is mid range the other close quarters, so I'm going to split them into two platoons. One for mid range the other close quarters weapons.

It will be great to see what you do with em.

Yeah the R1TVC stormy is the best. I like the added wrist articulation, they hold weapons better. The only disadvantage is putting pauldrons on, the head comes off easily.  The tvc Luke Stormtrooper is okay, I've bought several of them.  My ony regret is kitbashing 5poa R1 heads onto TAC/VOTC bodies, now I have headless, 5poa Stormtroopers that I could have used in the back rows. Oh well.

sounds like you need to put in a head order with Clonehead. He can fix you up with some stormy buckets! LOL.

So, what in your opinion is the best kitbashed Stormtrooper. The one you just mentioned? R1 5POA Stormy Heads on TAC Bodies?
