Title: Custom 3&3/4 Scout Trooper
Post by: Serious_bass on February 02, 2010, 01:02:28 PM
Ok so I had a few yellowed vintage scout troopers lying around and having watched and been inspired by Rasputin's (YouTube vids) customs, I decided to have a go at my first custom.

This was completely from my imagination, but I simply wanted to make a cool looking scout trooper/recon/special forces type figure.

I have a lot to learn, but I would appreciate any feedback, good or bad. Thanks.
SB.

That's a good looking scout, Bass! Welcome to the shipyards!!

By using the image insertion control "looks like a framed pic next to the earth icon", you can insert your photobucket images.

Great job, buddy! Expect this to make it to the front page, soon.

reminds me of the imperial commando from the evolutions pack.  VERY well done.  You took a crappy vintage figure and realy made a nice piece out of it.  I personally don't like the limitedness of the figures and would never have even given it a chance, and yet look what you did with it!  awesome!

The more that I look at that camo paintjob, the more I like it. I put your scout on the front page, Bass.

actually, I probably couldn't do a thing with the vintage figures... it'd have to be one of the legacy style scout troopers that is already mostly articulated...

Thanks for all the positive comments. With this being my first custom I was just trying to do something basic... Was planning to do some mud/dirt washes to dirty him up a bit, but I chickened out... I came across a few hurdles and things I would have liked to have done with the figure but wasn't sure how to achieve them. But maybe I can pick the brains of some of the skilled customisers on here...thanks again

I can only agree with what's been said..Great customs, especially the detailing on the bike trooper.

Looks great and being a huge collector of the vintage line I wish I would see more old school customs.

Again I like this paint scheme and I like the custom. Camo just looks good on any figure.
