This figure was originally a Clone Wars Coruscant Trooper, using ARC Fordo's pauldron and a Rex kama.  I also added a pouch to the front and two of the ammo canisters from the airborne trooper as well.......
That's a nice figure! ;D

Nope, no masking tape.   but I will give you one secret.   I paint the lines as best I can...and go back over them repeatedly, lightly scraping away crooked edges with my exacto.  (and I mean VERY lightly, so as to only remove paint and not scrape into the plastic.) I just keep doing this over and over (and over and over) until I am happy with the lines.   This commander and the two others I will be posting soon have taken more than a month to get them to the point I am happy with them.  Glad everyone likes him.   Thanks!!!!!

do the same trick with the xacto and it works very well. I like to use one that is dull as it will not cut the plastic and if the tip is broken off it works as a mine paint scraper...

Yes Good point LC.     Heres the next Commander I mentioned.   This one is inspired by the latest version of "Wolffe" on the Clone Wars.    Again used Cloneheads resin cast ARC helmet, an ARC Fordo body, Wolffe head, and for the jetpack, I used a Mandalorian Warrior jetpack, cutting and lowering the center rocket.    The paint job has taken me over a month of scraping, painting, etc, until I am finally happy with it.  Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it.   Next up, my mando for the contest.
