I haven't done a custom Star Wars figure in many years. I'm jumping back in this week with an idea I got from someone on Rebelscum, who was making a custom Clone Spec Ops group, fitted for a desert environment. I wanted to do something similar, but attach them to the woodland/jungle camo 41st Elite Corps. I love the Commander Gree figure, but I don't love the troops that have been released that were assigned to him.
This Commando will be part of a small combat unit in the 41st made of troopers with different specialties. I love the Commando helmet, but I never had a chance to mess with them because most of the figures that used it were harder to find or uncommon. I got a hold of a few in some junker lots from Asia. I killed the body, cut and spliced the arms to a normal Clone body, and dremeled the helmet to fit. I'm not quite done with him yet, I have another element I am working in, and the clear coat is drying. This is the first figure I have used the Testors Dull Coat on.
I'll hopefully update with a finished piece tomorrow, and eventually, maybe I can post a few customs from about 10+ years ago. I had a gallery on Dan Curto's site around then, and though I sold many of the figures off, i still have a few from that time that still hold up.
