Since Rogue One Deathtroopers count to my favourite Imperial ground forces. And I really like the concept of Ghost Troopers, which I hadn't heard of before! This armor looks just so stunning!
The mat white paint looks great on the armor! I assume you dry brushed it?
I also love to see how shades and pigments highlight all the details...this is just a fantastic custom, Christoph! It's always stunning to see how much attention you pay to accuracy and detail. The helmet, the boots, the rifle - just everything looks spot on!   

Thanks for sharing this awesome concept & have a nice weekend!

Imperial Tank Commander
(HC-4120 First Sergeant Jimmon Arbmab)

Imperial combat assault tank commanders, also known as tank troopers, were specialized vehicle commanders who commanded the Imperial combat assault tank pilots piloting TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tanks.
[wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_combat_assault_tank_commander]

A 3 3/4" Tank Commander is still not available so I made my own by repainting a combat assault tank pilot from the Jedha Revolt battleback.

Added articulation:
-swivel wrists
-bendable elbows

Colours:
-Revell enamel Dust Grey (77)
-Revell enamel Purple Red (331)
-black panel liner

Weathering:
-black wash
-brown pigments
-pencil

I'm surprised that this tank commander got an individual name in particular...Jimmon Arbmab - I like that! A friend of mine from High School becomes a tank commander, too!
The background information is always appreciated and this screenshot of the Imperial Tank Commander is VERY cool, too!

I'm also tempted to get this battle pack just for the tank pilot...it dropped to 17 bucks by now. And you turned it into a fantastic Imperial Tank Commander my friend! Your custom proves that this 5POA tank pilot is actually a good mold! As discussed many times before and most recently on SDCC the approach to Hasbro is to just articulate their figures because most of them look decently. I'm glad that they just announced which seems to finally be the definitve version of the Stormtrooper. It's good to see some more dedication to Rogue One.

I'm most impressed by the paint apps you added to this pale looking figure! They look that nice and clean! Do you use tape for straight lines or do you just have a very calm hand?
That #77 Dust Grey from Revell looks spot on! And man, look at that weathering!! This custom also looks as if it was taken right off screen. And I love these outdoor pics, too! I remember seeing this rock in your backyard!
Thank you for sharing the recipe, again! You did a fantastic job on this one (as always) and added so much value to this figure by adding more articulation! Now, I go pick up my jaw from the floor once again...
Have a good one!

That figures looks phenomenal. From the added articulation to the paint work to the weather this is a figure most folks would love to own. Oh Hasbro, what you could do if you would leave out the 5 poa and actually give us some decent paint work.

Off to share.

[Starchaser]

Really great paint apps on this figure. He matches the reference art exceedingly well. Brilliant job!

SAW GERRERA

Here you have a reworked version of Hasbro's 5POA (3,75") Saw Gerrera from the Jedah Revolt battle pack.
The figure is pretty much a complete repaint. I tried to bring out all the little details on the medical suit.
I also used thin wire and fabric strips to bring more details on the figure.
I used Revell enamel colours. For the weathering I used different washes and pigments.
The display stand is made of nut wood. The symbol of Saw's militia is sprayed with white Tamiya spray paint.

I hope you like it.

[Darth More]

One loud WOW on all this awesome Rogue One action here on page 78!
(78 pages of custom excellence already by the way...). And if this wasn’t impressive enough, your Saw Gerrera looks AMAZING!!
Favorite detail: EVERYTHING! But I should mention that my jaw just hit the desk when I saw his cape! Christoph, it looks insane!
Furthermore I like the fabric straps on his armor and the details you added to his staff!
Also the wooden display stand looks fantastic, again! Thank you a lot for sending me some. I might dare to use one of them to try this out.
Are you going to share with us, how you prepared the stencil for the emblem?
I really like the character of Saw Gerrera and it’s such a relief to see a super-articulated version of him! It’s also good that you got two (actually three) of the Jedha Revolt Pack (thank you so much, again!).
The Imperial Assault Tank need a crew, doesn’t it?
Looking forward to our conversation tonight!


Your background looks very nice and blue by the way! I really like the shade of blue the light put to it! Your pictures look brilliant!


Salutes & much respect!
