my kid's first customs...

[BrentS]

My 7 yr old son has been admiring my custom figures recently and he said, "Dad I want to make a star wars figure" so I agreed and let him run wild with a couple of clones that he had an some Michael's paints. 

I offer up two of the most colorful clones imaginable.  He had a lot of fun but I can't afford to let him customize too much.  He wanted to a whole of army of these guys. 

Anyway, enjoy the fruits of a seven year old as the first time he puts paint to plastic.

[Smartypants1635]

HECK YES those rock.
 At first I thought they were just randomly painted clone but it looks like your son actually came up with a design that he followed on both clones.
1 probem is I dont think they'd last very long in the field.

Little does your kid know that these exact Clones are going to be $19 SWS.com exclusives...

JK, these actually look pretty neat. If he's only 7 right now, imagine what he'll come up with by age 17! And like Smartypants said these are basicley walking targets for Droidekas...

[CHEWIE]

Heh Heh... good seeing a little one getting into this.  Very cool Brent and he did a good job.

Don't give them any ideas.

It is always cool to see the little ones getting in on customizing. While I was working at the FFURG booth at C3 some of the coolest moments were seeing the little kids who wanted to make their own colorfull stormtroopers, and other customs.

[Phrubruh]

You think that's expensive. I see those going for $80 on ebay everyday.

Actually, those are way better and more creative than 95% of the clones I've seen on RS. I love the choice of colors and how the same colors are used on the belts and the pink on the sholders looks great with the yellow. I showed my son (6 years old) these and he wants to paint up a stormtrooper tonight. Two very cool clones Brent. Your son has a real eye for color.

[Clone Commander]

Heh heh awesome! 
Looks like the clones had a friendly game of paintball!
They look awesome though, real neat design art on clone armor...on a clone soldier!

[narceron]

Hehe, you guys are crazy, those aren't random, they are the designated distractions for their clone unit.

Clone Commander:  We are totally outnumber by the droid army
Clone Grunt: No problem, sir, I have an idea.  Bring up the DD's.

Its times like these that I want a kid, lol, plus the wife says I need someone to play with.

They look so cuite . My little girl love to play star wars with me until she discovered boys. Now I only get to play star wars video games with her from time to time. They grow up so fast .  Enjoy it while it lasts .

Great topic Brent. This is a stromtrooper my six year old did.



It seems this stormtrooper was standing guard out side an Imperial explosives facility that fronted as a paint factory. The rebels knowing that explosives were being created there, blew up the paint factory and this stormtrooper was caught in the explosion.

[BrentS]

Phruby,
Thanks for sharing.  Looks like we've got ourselves a pair of customizers, huh.  Its all I could do to keep my son away from the R2 units today.  "Step away from the droids"

[Phrubruh]

It was a good learning experience for him. He learned about mixing colors and how you get orange from red and yellow. Thanks for the idea. It was nice to do a little art project with him. He though your son's was really cool.

[Famine]

HECK YES those rock!

They are better than yours.

[Smartypants1635]

ouch that wasn't nice at all you could have at least put JK at the end

[Clone Commander]

Pretty neat stormie!
I think with all the little children making customs that might as well be the next monthly challenge  .
Let the game of paintball begin!
