Psyclonetrooper's Customs : Update 10/3 Tower Gun

[psyclonetrooper]

It's been quite a while since I posted here.  There is some great work on this board. I thought I'd start a thread with some of my stuff.

My latest is first and under that will be a few I've done over the years.

Update : 10/3

Tower Gun - I applied some plating and pieces to the gun and gave it a prime coat. Still a lot of work to be done.



Imperial Commandos -

Inspired by Republic Commando and Ghost Recon I wanted to design a squad of commandos that would be a crossover from the Old Republic to the Empire.  So, these Imperial Commandos were born. 

These guys were cobbled together in a couple of days.  The hardest part was trying to stop myself from overdoing it.  I'm always tempted to add more or redesign the figure the longer I look at it.  I'm sure they'll change soon. Anyway, here is what they look like now.



1. Commander -

Helmet - AT-AT Driver, Clone Commander visor, Death Star Gunner antenna.
Torso - 30th Anniversary Stormtrooper
Legs - #41 Clone Trooper
Backpack - Scorch, misc accessories, Mark IV sentry patrol droid from POTF2 Cantina diorama.
Hip holster and pistol - Clone Commander
Hip pouch - Scout Trooper
Rifle - Marauder Inc's E-11
Rank Badge - Commander Cody
Belt gizmo - Clone Pilot



 2. Sniper -

Helmet - AT-AT Driver,  Death Star Gunner antenna
Torso - 30th Anniversary Stormtrooper
Legs - #41 Clone Trooper
Backpack - Snowtrooper
Ammo pouch - Sandtrooper
Hip holster and pistol - Scout Trooper ankle holster and blaster
Thermal Detonators - Clone Trooper belts
Rifle - IG-88 with some Joe scope.



3. Heavy Ordinance / Explosives Tech -

Helmet - AT-AT Driver,  Death Star Gunner antenna
Torso - 30th Anniversary Stormtrooper
Legs - #41 Clone Trooper
Backpack - Scorch
Rifle - POTF2 Stormtrooper blaster with Scorch's anti-armor attachment added.
Ammo - Scorch



4. Tech -

Helmet - AT-AT Driver,  Death Star Gunner antenna, Jango Fett range finder
Torso - 30th Anniversary Stormtrooper
Legs - #41 Clone Trooper
Backpack - Sandtrooper (modified)
Rifle - Marauder Inc's E-11
Wrist Computer - Some GI Joe
Leg Gadget - I forget.





Imperial Gun Tower -

This has been a work in progress now for some time.  Here is what I have so far.

Ah you know how hard it is to cut through the stormie waste too. I have 2 more guys I have to do that with.

Those Imperial commandos are VERY impressive customs and an excellent start, but I do think they could use a little more. I don't know, they're just too white and plain, maybe give each one its own unique paintjob, like the Delta Squad. I'll be interested in seeing your progress! 

The Palpatines are also very good, are the sitting and standing Palpatines the same custom in different positions?

The plain look is intentional.  I may give them a very mild wash to bring out some of the details in the armor and possibly a little more dirt wear, but not too much.  I fashioned them more after Omega Squad than Delta.  Being that the idea for these guys is a transitional phase into the OT stormtrooper uniforms they don't sport any individual paint markings though they do each have unique accessories to fit thier specialty.  In the future I may make some more like the Deltas.

No, they are two different figures but they do use similar parts.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Great job on the commandos. Now if Hasbro made EU figs like these...
