Expanded Universe Custom Trooper Contest!

That's right folks, it's time for our April Custom Contest, and this is NO April Fool's Day joke!
In the more than 30 years of fantastic Star Wars lore, there have been a wealth of troopers to fire their blasters at!
This month's challenge is to find that penultimate Expanded Universe trooper that you've been enthralled with and
create it in custom format!  Here are the rules for this month's contest:

   -You must be a registered 'Shipyards Member to participate.
   -You can repaint, resculpt, or add onto additional figures that exist already.
   -MUST be a Trooper (Scout, Storm, Snow, Clone, etc) from the Expanded Universe(Comics, Novels, Art, Video Games, etc.). 
   -No clones from the Clone Wars TV Show, although if they appear in a comic, there would be an exception. 
   -There are no Clones from the movies aloud, either.
   -Must be 3 3/4" in scale.
   -Only 1 entry per person.
   -Must do at least an addition and have a picture to represent your custom's "realness".
   -Must be a new custom that has never been posted by you.

This contest is going to run from April 1st until April 23rd at 11:59pm CST.
Voting will take place from April 24th-30th, with results posted on the 30th. 
There is no prize offered for this contest, just challenge against your fellow customizers!

That Seatrooper is from Battle for the Golden Sun, I plan on doing what is featured in this picture, and that's the Seal Guy.

Sorry, the rules state Trooper, and is referring to different types of troops that would make up companies and squads and such.

If that is a trooper featured in the Expanded Universe, be it from comics, books, video games, trading card games, etc, then yes.

this has to be a storm trooper expanded universe variant right? as in imperial or republic forces?  wouldn't mandos be off the list?....

if not.... I've been wanting to do a neo-crusader for a long time too, or a death watch commando....  but I'll let someone else do those...

man I was wanting to do a scuba-scout... now I'm going to HAVE to use one of my scout troopers in my upcoming projects for my own sea-trooper after seeing that picture!


I probably won't be entering this contest though, Great Idea but I've not realy got any ideas that havn't already been claimed!  I also don't have a very good EU knowledge base other than a few comics and wookipedia articles...

UNLESS you let me enter my gen. wier custom I just finished up a few weeks ago ;)
