Haven’t posted a custom in a while, but here we go! This is the 501st Jet Trooper from the Star Wars Battlefront II videogame. When I first played the game, I knew I wanted a figure of this trooper. When I was finally able to get my hands on the Hasbro Battlefront II trooper pack, I was disappointed with the poor articulation of the figure, as well as how the figure couldn’t even hold the EMP blaster properly. After so long, I finally decided it was time I upgraded the figure. I took a 501st trooper from the TAC line and got to work. I added a layer to the neck joint and replaced the regular 501st trooper helmet with the one from the Hasbro version of the jet trooper. I also customized the helmet’s visor from neon green to a shiny, reflective, metallic green. I flipped the belt and added gray to the belt and lower abdomen plate like on the original figure. I also painted the outline of the shoulder plates white, just like in the game. I then replaced the left hand with the hand from another trooper that was open (painted white), so that the EMP blaster could properly rest on his hand. I also took the jetpack, cut off the peg, and glued it onto the back of the figure. Finally, I added a few finishing touches of paint and tried to copy the weathering on the original figure. I hope you like it!
