IMPERIAL SHOCK TROOPER

Imperial shock troopers were high-class stormtroopers pulled from the Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire. They served as elite frontline forces of the Empire, and also as bodyguards for Emperor Palpatine himself. They were the successors to the clone shock troopers who were part of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. [wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_shock_trooper]

The figure is a modified and repainted "5 points of articulation" Rogue One Stormtrooper. The detailing of the figure is really good but the missing articulation in the elbows is a real disappointment. I changed the position of the forearms with wire and putty.
I used Revell flame red silk-matt (330) = RAL 3000 for the repaint. For the weathering I used the Revell weathering set pigments.

My last custom figure for 2017. I would like to thank for your support and your comments this year.
I wish you all a Happy New Year.

Superlative! I mean fabulous paint work! The wired arms look great too - much easier to hold a weapon.

Such a great sight to start the new year with! I am glad you found this Stormtrooper! Many people consider this version the best Stormtrooper in 1/18 to day! I got it lose and also hope, Hasbro will retool this excellent figure to an SA version.
Talking about excellence: The work you have done onto this figure is simply amazing! I mean adding the wire to the joints so perfectly clean is difficult enough, but painting the Stormtrooper like this is just a composition of elite skill! I  agree with the comments above! Another fantastic addition to your custom shelf! I am extremely impressed with this custom in particular because I also plan on repainting some resin Clone Trooper helmets for Shock Trooper customs...the lines above the visor are the detail that challenges me most - but seeing your custom gives me hope that it is possible - in theory if one has your incredible skill...but I'm not sure I can do that, too.
The stripes of the Clone Shock Troopers' helmet are also even thinner than the stripes on the Imperial armour...

Your Imperial Shock Trooper looks just great and again you gained my full respect for this awesome paint-job!

Wow, nice work, paint lines look pretty crisp. But man, I had no idea about the sculpt work on that trooper! I know Hasbro has always had a lot of trouble getting the sculpt on the ST helmets right and back in the day the BustUps helmet was highly sought after by collectors and customizers to replace the Hasbro ones. I need to get me a bunch of these, though!

IMPERIAL COASTAL DEFENDER STORMTROOPER

Coastal defender stormtroopers, more commonly known as shoretroopers, were a specialized variant of the Galactic Empire's stormtroopers trained and equipped for combat in tropical environments. [wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coastal_defender_stormtrooper]

Here is my modified and weathered "5 points of articulation", 3 3/4" Shoretrooper.
The figure has now bendable elbows and swivel wrists. I'm going to post a detailed tutorial of the added articulation in the near future.
The E22 blaster rifle is also modified. I added a strap and a flashlight to the weapon.
The weathering was made with different enamel washes and a pencil.

I hope you like it.

Tip: you can click on the pictures to enlarge them.

I agree with Shawn and Ron: great idea, perfect execution of retooling and weathering - another awesome project!! I especially like the added detail and modification of the E22!
Thank you very much for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing the "in progress pictures"...have a great Sunday!

Just goes to show you how much folks want their AFs to move a bit. I mean they need to be able to hold their rifles!
