Clint, Thanks for the good words on my stuff! I am so stoked to see someone else doing zombies and am glad to know I rubbed off on you as youwere one of the guys I looked up to getting into this hobby! The commando guy is super sweet btw.

Thanks a heap, guys. I am having fun working on stuff again but still need to get warmed up. Alas, I went back to work today. I wonder how long it will last.

The zombie and skull heads look great Clint but I have to say that Storm Commando is just awesome.

thanks again, gentlemen!

I have been wanting to do a new figure to kind of break off the rust a little bit and I thought,"what better way to celebrate the little bit of new clone wars video we are going to get than by making a Cw Arc trooper figure?"
  I started with a phase 1 rex fig which I believe was a freebie in my last Shipyards figure deal. Thanks again, BTW
I added a resin hollow arc helmet with rangefinder, an arc pauldron, broke out the paints and I was off. I realize that the kama and lower boots are not correct but I am just having fun painting up something. I have a resin arc back pack to add and a couple of pouches to add to the front of his kama that I think will work.
  My poor camera in my phone shoots some dirty pics anymore and I need to dig out my other camera.
In the last shot, you can see some mod work I have done to the backside of the backpack to make it work with this fig's back bulge. I cut off the peg and dremeled out the cavity a bit wider.

I need to paint some more details onto it but here are some shots of the backpack mounted onto him.
The last shot shows the mini gun I cast up for him using a newly tooled mold.

Great Custom! I think he is epic :D
I am thinking of buying some parts from your store.(and use Rex as the base)
In fact 2-3 years ago i ordered some ARC trooper parts from you and made a squad of them(using Rex bodies like you did)

I never posted them here because i could not finish my leader(who was the reason i started the squad) because i needed a blue ARC trooper as the base, (i wanted him to be like i designed him, not using a Rex body.) but he figure was so rare.

I already  have 1 in my collection but i only customize seconds.
anyway great custom 10/10  O0 ()rr DH
Clones are the best. Enough said.

thanks a lot! I hear you on the high prices of the arc trooper figures. Its a shame hasbro didnt make more of them. Im still looking at producing the lower legs but am skittish about cutting up a factory arc trooper for them, the feet, and the kama, of course.

thanks to everyone for your comments.
I got some paintwork done on the arc trooper's backpack but more on that later.

this first shot is more fun with skulls and the two after that are a nub sizing in progress on a master part that first off is to be sized to have a neck mount cavity like the BD32 spacetrooper which is also close to the nub size of theTVC stormy but a bit smaller.
  Since so many have said that the new sl11 stormie has a better shaped bucket, I took a comparison shot to see how the bd32 bucket shaped up to it.
Shot 1 is that spacetrooper helm over the factory head and shot two is the sl11 on the spacetrooper body.

The plan is to mold one with a nub mounting hole like this and then do a hollow one.

Love the sound of this Clint. Such a great idea. I would love to have at least one of each just to showcase em.

Can I get two painted up perhaps (pretty please) when you cast these?

Off to share.
