Hopefully i'll get what i'm looking for with this figure :-\ I've tried to keep it acurate while giving it adequate articulation to be on par with Hasbro figures (notice obvious lack of balljoints ;D) Thanks for the compliments chewie 8)

And yes... I'm as surprised as you are they didnt realease this figure during the ROTS line i'd have at least a 20 by now!  :o

The worst part is:
We all know how they like to milk molds, so they could have just repainted an Endor Scout trooper.  ???

That's a good reference pic, thanks for showing it.  I think however you do it, it will look good.  I'm just surprised Hasbro didn't make this figure... imagine the armies!

Whoa.
Exellent clone there man, perfect.
Except for the arms, as was said before they are a tad long.

As for gree's straps, did you mean the chest or leg? Chest was made using the sling off the POTF2 sandtrooper rifle and the Leg  strap is off the back of an AT-TE gunner pauldron.


I meant the chest straps, I used some lotr belt material.
I havent gotten a leg strap because I wasnt sure how it would look and I tried to get a holdster on his leg too.

From the new pics of the VOTC Biker Scout Hasbro will be able to sub parts here and there and use most of the ROTJ Biker Scout parts to make a ROTS Scout.

A straight repaint would fall far short of what we should expect.

Great work on this custom, BTW. I've been following as much as I can, and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Re: BARC trooper WIP+212th trooper! (update 02/07)
« Reply #96 on: February 8, 2006, 01:40 AM »
Well i decided to take a break from my Barc trooper and finish off one of my WIP 212th troopers. He is modeled after the trooper that charged the crab droid and dispatched him from topside.I know his paint is a little off, but frankly i like my paint scheme better than the original which can't decide whether it wants to be triangular or round :p he has the extra back pack equipment, he is SA, and has a removable helmet.

Man your Barc trooper looks great very well done and I love the fact that you are trying to keep the articulation on him well done.

The 212th trooper looks very well done everyone knows that I love clones and this is no exception the backpack looks spoton and the paint work is really well done.

I can't wait to see how that BARC Trooper turns out; you are off to a great start so far!

That 212th Trooper looks good too.  Your attention to detail is impressive, I had no idea that the "backpack" was different on that guy.  Very nice stuff!

Keep us updated on that BARC Trooper!

CW ARC troopers (02/16)
« Reply #99 on: February 17, 2006, 02:46 AM »
Well i've had some progress with my ARCS. They're kind of my own design, based on the parts i had when i made my first ARC. The squad as a whole is gunna be sort of a mix of how they appeared in the different volumes of the CW mini series.

I will have Captain Fordo, some blue arcs with arc rifles, some blue arcs with dc-15s, an ARC mini gunner, an ARC Heavy Gunner (rocket launcher), a ARC quad gunner (At-rt head), and a few regular white clone troopers (one of which will include the Field Scanner they used to see through buildings in volume 1).  By the time the whole squad is finished they'll be put into the brand new Clone Wars Gunship.  Here's what i got so far (some have some paint apps to be done, and some adjustments to be made, but you get the idea :p).






I'd throw them into the group project, but well ya know  ::) :P ;D

 :o Holy cow!
I havent seen your updates in a while!
I like your 212th attack battalion trooper alot, nice detail and articulation.
Are all of your 212th going to have removable helmets?
The ARC's are just plain cool.
I love what you've dont with the evo sets too.

Great ARC Trooper squad here!
They all look perfect (much better than the upcoming hasbro battle-pack), I love the fact that you are giving all of them removable helmets - are you customizing each face to give them all a unique personality?
Is that bazooka made from a marker of some kind?  It looks very good.

hey guys thanks for the comments  8)

Clone Commander- Yep all of my 212th will have removable helmets as well as my parjai that accompany them. Then I'll be touching up (or rebuilding ???) the commander cody figure when hasbro releases it. My Arcs will all have removable helmets as well. 8)

Gregorbian-  I have actually customized the head of one a bit, not the face. For Captain Fordo, I gave him some grey streaks on the side of his hair as well as a little it of grey hair in the front. Being the leader, I figured he could do with some experience. :P As for the rocket launcher. It's actually a cast of a Gundam Model piece, with some added steyrene and a Potf2 stormie rifle grip. ;D

Well, I cant come across any AT-TE Gunners so I cant have all of mine with removable helmets.

However, I have the evo set!
So I might be able to make casts I could!

Maybe you could call one ARC Alpha?   :)
