Ok everyone, I am pretty much broke after getting a Medicom Clone Commander for $65 shipped (great deal!). Then, I realized that my Commander would have absolutely no clones to command! How can you have a Clone Commander who can't command any clones? It just shouldn't happen...
So I need help figuring out a way to put together a white EP II style clone for super cheap (we're talking less than $20 here). So far, I have a black bodysuit, I have a good helmet figured out, and I think I know what I am going to do for hands.
I am thinking of making most of the armor out of card-stock or paper and possibly covering them with epoxy (mighty putty), sanding the pieces and painting them white. Does anyone have any tips on this or think it will work?
The second option is to try to find some sort of plasticard, only I have checked around and can't find it in many places.
Option 3 is if one of you guys were generous enough to donate some armor pieces, or if you could point me to a place that sells them parted out for next to nothing. I know toy anxiety parted out an Utapau clone or two, but most main armor pieces are no longer available. I have also checked eBay and have not found much.
And YES I have thought of painting the Medi Commander white to solve the prob, but I wouldn't want to ruin him, and I can't afford another one to paint white instead (even at the super cheap price they have on starwarsshop.com).
PLEASE HELP!
EDIT:
OK, so I am making some progress on my own on this trooper (making armor out of plastic McDonalds cups and super glue, then spraypainting it white). Here is a list of pieces that will be updated when there are changes:
-boots_______________?
-shin armor___________P
-knee pads___________P
-thigh armor__________P
-groin armor__________P
-belt________________?
-stomach armor_______FIN.
-chest plate__________FIN.
-back plate___________P
-shoulders____________T
-upper arms___________P
-elbow pads___________P
-forearms_____________T
-hands_______________FIN.
-bodysuit_____________FIN.
-helmet______________WIP
? piece I have no clue about, may have to buy this piece from someone else
P (stands for "planning") piece I have a plan on how to do, but isn't started yet and I have not created templates for
T (stand for "template") piece I have already made templates for
WIP (work in progress) currently working on this piece
FIN. (short for "finished") part that is done/ I already have
