what I plan on doing is removing these legs and sanding them down while off the figure. even though they've already been painted I should be able to adequately sand them and then repaint them. I tried to use a basecoat of flat black on the legs before painting the yellow and that was a mistake, only making the paint layer thicker and harder to keep from rubbing.
the knee joint wasn't that big of a deal, it's frustrating, but it doesn't detract from the figure as a whole. I might be able to find another storm shadow figure that has these same legs though so I'm going to look for a single carded version, the original was from the snake eyes vs storm shadow two pack wal-mart exclusive....
as for the scout trooper, I agree he will probably get repainted.
I finished my at-rt model as well.... I have to admit I'm a little disapointed. Some of the parts were broken before I even got started, one "toe" of one foot pad was broken and one of the smaller handlebars had broken as well. I was able to fix the footpad however. As I was messing around with the model the peg holding on the drive "hips" to the main vehicle broke as well, I had to drill out the peg and drill a new hole in the hip piece and reatach it in a permenant position, which bummed me out because I thought the ability for the walker to rotate at the "waist" was realy realy cool.
I'll definately be painting this one up in the black/red color scheme though so keep an eye out for it.
