The paint apps are great, Devin. It looks like a mixture of red, orange, and yellow in the markings, blended just right to give it a lively look to it.  Nice use of parts all around, as well!

yup.  base coat of flatt black and then a custom mixture of clear red, silver and clear gloss for the first layer of "lava cracks" then a custom mixture of yellow, clear gloss and silver for the finishing of each line (making sure not to completely cover the entire red lines) and then seal it all with clear gloss spray paint.

I've got two more clones I need to customize and I'm out of ideas.  My friend runs a toy booth at the local flea-market and he is wanting to sell some customs so he gave me several figures to work on.  He said do something simple with them, mainly re-paints and part swaps as he wants to re-card them as well.

He gave me the basic Idea of a "lava trooper" which I've already tried to come up with something for... but I need ideas for my other clones.

I'm thinking about doing a desert clone trooper, a pre-curser to the sandtrooper I guess...  But I need other basic ideas.

anyone want to throw something out there that you'd like to see done?  it can be as simple as "urban camo", I just need ideas to trigger the creative process! lol I've customizers block.

If you want to go really simple you can just make a "dirty" clone. If he has a removeable helmet you can paint the bottom half of his hair grey and make him an older Sergeant clone. Or maybe do a Geonosis camo scheme. A simple way would be to copy the flamethrower clone or go more complex with the ARF trooper camo pattern. Good luck and I hope I was some kind of help.

Good grief I have been away for too long and the Spud has been on a run! All the way back to the Boba improvements, I am flored by the gauntlets, cape and helmet! Your creations are taking another step up with all of these. I know you have said before sometimes you mess up when it comes to the paint but you must have really taken your time with these as they look perfect! Sorry it took me so long to comment but all of these are top shelf customs!

what started as a concept for an early phase sand-trooper turned into this:

the desert clone:






this figure was done in the course of about an hour and a half... thus the rushed and sloppy paint job.  Of course I think it works well for the figure as I didn't want to completely repaint the figure and keep the majority of it white, but make it look like he had some kind of desert specific paint scheme that was highly weathered....  so.... yeah... that's my explanation for that. 
Pretty decent job for having done this at 7am. after working for 8+ hours....
