I thought maybe so, but wasn't sure. Thanks for answering.

Now, this is yet another fantastic custom of yours! The headsculpt looks really great! I was distracted by the color of his armor, first. If I could give it a name it would probably royal curry or golden mustard. You matched the color perfectly with the original shoulder piece. Thanks for sharing and please rock on! Your work is always a highlight to me on here.

Spot on perfect from what I can recall from the series. Man, I wish Karen had gotten to finish this.

Off to share.

Custom 3D Printed 3.75" TVC Scale BX-Commando Droid! Fully articulated from head to toe and custom paint job done by me.

Pardon the hasty photos, I took them before heading in to work.





Comparison with 3.75" TVC Cpt. Rex:


Review of the 3D print...

Articulation: ***** (5 stars)
Durability: *** (3 stars)
Color scheme: ***** (5 stars)
Build work: *** (3 stars)

Summary: This is a super articulated figure for a 3D figure. The downside is the plastic. Many of the sockets broke while trying to shove the ball joint into them. The main issue for this is the 3D printed material. If a higher quality flex resin it would not have been an issue. The detail is astounding at this scale. Back peg hole makes it possible to mount droid backpacks or vibroswords.

Custom 3D print comes from this website:
https://morphonauts.com/products/commando-bot?variant=44222355046677

They have clones, droids, and 40k figures. Not sure how the more human characters look in person bit I think those would be a pass. The droids are on point in appearance so far. Far more articulated than Hasbro.

A touch of brass, white, and Tamiya weathering dust (silver/gunmetal) makes this droid pop...

Looks great! The paint job totally works. Thanks for the lead on the printer, they've got some interesting things. Your review of the product is really helpful. I might try one of their animal characters and see how they turn out.

I have a second one coming from another printer, who is using a flex resin. I'll post that one too once it arrives. See if it's better or worse.

I better stop casting today and start printing instead! Wow, do these look awesome! They look like they were designed in realistic style, right?
Fantastic paint apps! The metal alloy is spot on.

I'm supposed to be getting another commando droid from another seller from Facebook. Known as "Moff Glideon's Customs" - due to the delay in my order he's throwing in a second commando droid for free. If true and legit, awesome service.

Thank you, sir. And yes, 3D printing changes the game. If they weren't so complicated and expensive, I would invest in one tomorrow. They are still up there for a good quality printer.

Did a modernized military gurney for what would be used for a combat casualty.
