That is one awesome Walker Commander. Looks awesome.

Off to share.

Thank you! A little off subject but while on the topic of walkers. What do you think of the AT-PT All Terrain personal transport? I'm on the fence on getting either the new ATST or a atpt from hole in the ground. It's like a cross between a ATST and an ATRT. Haven't had much luck with ATRTs the hasbro ones aren't very realistic and the revell ones are too fragile. I have enough atst's.

Either option is good. I would think an AT-AT would be an even better idea! ;D

Why not something nobody has ever tackled before?

The Clone Wars era AT-XT would be an amazing project!

Love the Major Bludd figure JD and the eye patch really makes him look even more nasty.

Thank you! Yeah eye protection is important.  He should have worn his goggles.

Made a Major König inspired officer, from Enemy at the gates. Piett body, Ed Harris head, audes rifle/left hand, wired cape from gpslot on ebay.

  Major Kogin was an imperial marksman and Scout Trooper instructor in the Galgrebian Impirial Garrison. Also known as the hunter, he was an expert tracker, and could anticipate his enemy's next move and lead them into a trap. He and his recon company were tasked with finding pirate hideouts and defeat them on land where they were most vulnerable.

Off to share on the front pages.

Nice! I love the connection with "source" material. Now you have to build his team :)

Thank you! They need to repack the AT-AT commander.  For a sniper, I imagine he doesn't need or want armor. A helmet is a perfect target for counter snipers.

Thank you! I have some different heads, from customs to ones from the rebel army builders. I hope to do some toy photography following a squad from being decorated soldiers to ending up in a penal battalion, to ultimately defecting.  I think a fresh take on stormtroopers is needed. They're often dehumanized and concidered stupid.  I just need to build some diorama photo sets.

Someone needs to get that AT-AT commander set and mold that armor as a set.

I saw a listing for the Admiral Thrawn armor for  3d printed 3.75. I would get it except I'd have to grind off the rank plaque. 2 rows of 6 squares, unless I'm making Veers or thrawn, id have to grind it down. 3d printing is hit and miss on quality. It's great and everything, but sellers need to invest in better printers or something.

Nothing a sharp exacto blade can't fix. You can definitely do it!

Here's a small update on my selfie figure. I wasn't really satisfied with it. So I based my character on my annual Halloween costume. Every year I go as a werewolf, so I'll make a Shistavanen named J'Deck.  He's a smuggler, pirate party animal.

I like that! Now you might have to custom build a "hunk of junk" for him to fly ;D
