That's AWESOME.  So Tamer and I just made a point to create a new page on the forum specifically for sharing 3d print files and other related information.  Any chance you'd be willing to share the darktrooper files there?!

Really nice upgrades on your SHF Mando and your Dark Trooper looks amazing! I'm very impressed by the construction of this figure considering how the parts are printed. And I really enjoy the picture of Moff Gideon standing in front of the printer holding the product. This is a phenomenal project. The future is now. It's great to have a dedicated section for 3D printing now.

Wow, this is fantastic! I like your additions to your Mandalorian, but wow, wow, wow on that Dark Trooper!

Off to the front pages with both.

Thanks! Im pretty happy with how the Dark Trooper turned out!

Thats great! I included the link on cults3d for the mode
I dont want to share the file out of respect for the creator but it is a super reasonable price for an unlimited amount of dark troopers!

Its well worth it!

Heres the link

Ya its been bugging me since getting the mando figure and watching season 2!

It took a bit of drilling for the joints to get it all to fit correctly. I must’ve broken more of those joints than i can count until!

I had to drill the holes that connected each joint so they would fit correctly. Otherwise they would snap if you force it in

Finished Dark Trooper #1!!!

Black base, some more gloss black, then acrylic black for his neck mesh, and some more gloss black, and I think I added another layer of black?

Used Molotow Chrome Silver for the joints, white paint for red LEDs and clear red on top!

Fantastic work.  I might have to buy those files! (Definitely agree with not sharing files someone is selling, making the 3d models for printing is insanely time consuming and they should definitely be compensated!)

Sure looks awesome to me. I hope I have the patience to wait for the next season. I am so looking forward to what our Mando gets up too.

Finished my Darktrooper #2

Drilled holes then carved out a cavity in the shape of the tab on the blaster model so the right thigh can attach the blaster when not in use

These just look tough as all get out! Nice!

Back to the front pages. Surely Hasbro will make these one day. It won't be a long time till we see em in 3.75" though. Guessing out loud this morning.

Thanks! Really hope Bandai makes these in their 1/12 model kit line!

Heres Luke to wrap things up for my Season2 finale cast!

Custom cloth on top and cloak

3d printed belt buckle and lightsaber clip. I put a piece of plumbing wire through the cloak to hold the lightsaber hilt

Luke and all of those S2 Mando figs are just spectacular!
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.

Finally got my hands on two ARC Trooper Echos!

Both they’re heads were warped and poorly painted unfortunately so I got to work!

Echos rebreather was misaligned so I cut it out, then resculpted it back o to the helmet.

Added some weathering using the Sideshow Collectibles version as reference




I got to work on Fives after touching up Wcho. Figured I had my paints out so why not?

Used tape to cover up the negative space for the patterns. Added the Fives tattoo and goatee
