Thanks for the comments guys, Art's image has caused quite a stir! It is so awesome, I had to make it my desktop pic.
Back to my pilot Jaxon, I made some good progress the last 2 days working on him here and there as time permitted. I assembled all the parts to make sure they worked together. Then took everything apart and painted all the individual pieces black. Next I decided to ues POTF Garindan boots with scout trooper feet. I cut the boots off and dremeled the cup shape in the bottom to recess the feet and drilled a hole for the peg. Then I dremeled the top side of the boots to recess the legs into and dremeled down the leg stump to fit. I hope the pics show what I am saying.
I also started detailing the jump suit and have finished the lower legs details. I also sprayed them with dull coat so no paint rub problems. The gloves are from the newer Garindan oddly enough. The boots and gloves took 6 layers of white thinned with water.
I was not worried about additional articulation so I glued the boots on his legs. I could have used a peg like I did for the arms below but it just was not needed.
It took a few tries to get his height just right. I cut off 3 bands on the legs and arms, going by the ribbed areas on the sides of the legs and arms. He was a bit too tall. I cut off 1 more band or rib and it seemed to look about right. Here is a shot showing how he fits in with the other Rebels. I have also done a bit more painting in this pic.
and a bit more paint...
