My First Star Wars Customs: Update on PG 3

[Hollywood]

I decided to take a stab at a Snowtrooper today. I took one of those awful 1997 Hasbo one's and with a Dragon body, some chopping, re-stitching, and some paint........presto! (Not sure why not all the detail shows in the photo, but oh well you get the idea.

Very nicely done sir!! Maybe see if you can find some sort of white neck/scarf kind of thing.. I think that would finish of a treat. Great weathering to.

Re: My First Custom: Snowtrooper

Here is the added gray scarf. Great idea!!!!!!!! This is my first one I have done. Pretty fun, and I really like the results of this one. Hope you all do too. (I just noticed/ cleaned off that paint by the right hand protector.)

Re: My First Custom: Snowtrooper

I think I used a finger bandage type thing for mine... it comes in a roll and you can cut it to any length... I can cut of a bit and pop it in the post if you want?

Re: My First Custom: Snowtrooper

Thanks for all the compliments!!! I appreciate the offer but I think this one looks perfect; I will keep in mind for the future though.

I would love to see your custom storm troopers, please post if you can!

Re: My First Custom: Snowtrooper

Nice to see more people go for some oldfashioned OT Troops! Great work!

I guess Mark is right - When I started my first custom, I had several (!) points of time when I said: It's done.
But after you see what peeps here in this forum do, you somehow get the virus and start again.

I will post pics of my custom snowtrooper boots soon over at my thread, feel free to visit!
I did choose another way than chakaman by using fabric instead of vinyl gloves.

Re: My First Custom: Snowtrooper

Chakaman's are great, but no. No, No! No, never ever look up for hurricane's snowtrooper boots, he's a madman, he teamed up with the devil to make those most accurate boots in the whole 1/6-world. Never. Ever. Go. Beyond. That. Point.
