 :D Very awesome! I'm really digging the new Vintage style clone troopers; cool to see another custom of one. How'd you make the shoulder pauldron? Very cool.

Very nice, I had wanted to use the Airborne helmet for the Capt. Fordo Vintage figure, but it was a tad bit loose... Is the one you used a custom mold? And for the kama did you just use some random piece of cloth? I usually have to cannibalize old Jedi Robes, or snips of the Emperor's overly huge robe. Very cool custom man.

i glued some thin strps of plastic inside the helmet for a better fit, and the kama is just cut from an old t-shirt

Really nice job on the helmet paint apps; the design you incorporated looks great.

I really like the shoulder pauldron and the leather-like straps; gives some nice realism to the fig. 

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Wow, sorry it took me so long to get to this. I think that is one of the best Airborne Troopers I have seen. On the front page.

I still love that AT-AT Driver Pilot. He is even better in person. Thank you for letting me have him.
