Looks awesome  Commander Kurgan !

[Commander_Kurgan]

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Sergeant Kane, Squad Leader in the 41st Long Range Reconnaissance Platoon.

You will recognize the parts used in this no-paint kitbash:

Helmet, head, torso, upper legs - TVC AT-RT Driver
Arms, lower legs - ROTS Commander Gree
Holster - Marvel Universe Black Widow
Pistol - Marauder Gun Runners
Carbine - custom made from the stock and breech of a DC-15 rifle and the barrel and optics of an ARC Trooper rifle
Hatchet - GI JOE POC Recondo

[Mungo Baobab]

that is awesome!

[Tamer]

I thought I recognized that holster. This is just a great example of kit bashing and is on the front page.

Good to see an update Volker.

[Commander_Kurgan]

Wow, thanks for the honor.
It's good to be back.

[JediMerc]

Looks great; I like the black lower legs attached to this body.  Nice, new look!

[Commander_Kurgan]

Was it Spudafett whon said that GI JOE was the best thing that ever happened to Star Wars customizing?
Guess he was right.

This Rebel Alliance Special Forces Brigade Officer, Codename: ROCK, consists of the torso, crotch and upper arms of a 25th Clutch, lower arms of a POC Recondo, head from a RET Roadblock (likeness of actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), legs from a Resolute Flint, vest from a Marvel Captain America, helmet from a Rebel Endor Commando, gunbelt from a TVC Luke in Bespin uniform, demolitions kit from a ROC Firefly and the rifle from a 30th Law.

Again, it is a no-paint kitbash.
I wanted the Commando Officer to have the rugged look of a seasoned fighter and therefore went for the Bantha hide vest and the muscular lower arms with the gauntlet and the cloth wrap.

[Mando Assasin]

That is awesome.

[Commander_Kurgan]

I went through my parts box today and found a TAC Clone Commander as well as a TVC AOTC Clone Trooper.
Off came the pauldron and the belt/kama from the Commander and went onto the Trooper. I also added a spare rangefinder to the Trooper's Phase 1 helmet to create one of the Clone Commanders who received ARC Trooper training after the Battle of Geonosis.
I like the combination of the Phase 1 armor which starts to show individual touches by adding coloured markings, pauldrons and kamas.

Here's Clone Commander Arrow:




Another figure I like as a basic figure for customs is the Gelagrub Patrol Trooper.
On this one I took the softgoods kama and gunbelt off and replaced it with the belt/harness/shoulder armor of a Commander Neyo figure.
I gave him the rifle from a Marvel Universe Cable figure, but he looks sharp with a DC-15 rifle or carbine, too.

Here's Clone Corporal Aitch:

These are sick!

[Commander_Kurgan]

Thanks!
I am enjoying the no-paint kitbashes.
It's a style in itself and if you have kids, it's a great advantage: they are fully playable.

[Mando Assasin]

No paint kitbashes are fun and easy. I still play with mine as i am only a kid so i like them.

[Darth Optimus]

Nice work on the kitbashes!

[Commander_Kurgan]

Thanks.
With these kitbashes, I'm trying to attain the look and feel of a Hasbro stock figure.
We see so many repacks and repaints from them, but rarely a cool combination of existing parts.
