Isn't that just a bummer? Flashes always seem to have adverse effects on my custom, usually washing out all the details i WANT to have seen, and bringing out all the detail I don't (dust, scratches, etc.)

I was always kind of jealous of my buddy who had two (three?) Shadow Troopers, but I eventually got over it as I decided Clones weren't as cool as their fanboyism made them out to be. Nonetheless, I always enjoy a goodcustom. Is this made from an exclusive Utapau Shadow Trooper, or did you paint up a #41 clone?

If this is a repaint, it looks extremely clean, something I can never do with my customs. By clean, I mean the lines are really crisp and straight. I really wish I could see the highlights and weathering you put on him, because it always seems to be those little details that make or break a custom. It's looking good, though!

Yep  a repaint, i didnt care for the production model my self so i came up w/this paint scheme.
thanks for the kind words

hey clone hunter, none taken.  i didnt like the grey myself so kinda did a silverish tone.

thanks chewie, i'll have to take my own pix when i go to VA this month.  u really cant see the metal highlights too well, and that bugs me. 

bttt

DD -

Thanks man!  I think thats why it took so long to finish it.  I'd rather wait for the right peices than do a mediocur job.  yeah I agree with the Kama, I should have waited to get a better material, but it COULD be possible that they fray some what?  I used very little silver/metallic paint, and with the white apps and weathering it didnt really come out in the pic; good points all though and i will adjust accorrdingly. 

the jedi is one of my favs thus far. u did the duros Jedi with that body right? thats where i got the idea from.  he's actually be done since december, but never got around to posting and i am so anal about my customs that I wasnt quite sure it was a finished prod or not, im glad i posted him now. 
Sakiyani?  I wondered what species jasper was.

CHEWIE -

thanks Mate! I know, they do look like bad mama jama's. Since we will be seeing cody, hopefully we will see these guys from big H as well.
 I was hoping the drybrushing on the hands and head  of the Jedi showed up in the pic.  With the inside picks I took of 'em, the flash tottaly washed out the detail.  Thanks for the praise buddy......now if i could jus' bus'em out fasta like u and DD. 

Well, I finally got around to doing a Parjai trooper.  the cast is obviously from Glassman, and a very good cast it is.  I did a lot of sanding and triming, i am so anal about getting the right look its not funny.  Most of the reff pix i've seen of these guys, they look as if they've been through the ringer a time or 10.  I used three different white paints to try and match up the #41 trooper.  I dry brushed the body with a flat white to kinda blend in with the helmet.  the accessiories and gear aren't exact, but I'm pretty happy how it came out.  the outside pix dont seem to pick up alot of the helmet detail, but you can get an idea.








The jedi i really like how it turned out.  the drybrushing really brought out the details, and this seems to be my best one yet with the newley learned skill. 

I also dry brushed the hand and head with a dark gray, and I love the effect.  it really brings out all of the detail.

Now just how am i gonna paint those?    so fordo is neyo or is he anoher commander??  all great refferences folks, i love the clips!

okay, Jaig eyes are especially given as an honor to clone troopers Neyo and most of his troopers wore jaig eyes but also had standard phase 2 armor.
Every legion has a variety of armor for they're troopers, there is the scout armor, recon armor, standard phase 1 and 2 armor, scuba armor ect. ect.
Neyo's troopers wore a mix, even though not spotted off screen his troopers would wear a variety of different armor as would most legions.

Cool, thanks man.  is there any place I get get an example of what the Jaig Eyes are?
sounds like a pretty cool thing to add.

I think neyo had Jaig eyes on his helmet.
They were also worn by clone assasins.

Thanks guys, yeah that does help.  what are Jaig Eyes?
