Post by: Darth_Strife on December 07, 2015, 10:14:24 AM
Hey Names Jason. been a Novice Custom toy guy for a while and never thought my customs where that good. i have posted up my pics on Google Plus and some people seem to like them so i wanted to do more with my Customs. i bought some scrap leather and foam sheets and went to work. i hope you enjoy.

here is my first paint scheme for Lt. Breaker.

and here is my Completed ARC Trooper Duster
(http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/brojen/de5f1588bcf3944353d0e79d5117cdc71eda88a033acb50d48be090406a7ae11.jpg) (http://s40.photobucket.com/user/brojen/media/de5f1588bcf3944353d0e79d5117cdc71eda88a033acb50d48be090406a7ae11.jpg.html)

here is Duster and Breaker together.

the Paudrons are a thin piece of suede shaped down into a oval doughnut and placed under the helmet. i trimmed the bottom lip off of both Clones Helmets to fit the leather. i used foam sheet cut into shape for the shoulder armor and then painted it. the designs on the Armor are just my own thing. the Kama on Duster is made of the same Suede and the side bags where at first folded foam sheet glued together then i though it looked too fake so i then trimmed some brown leather and made them out of that. the flame thrower on Duster's Left arm is made from a Gundam Tow cable and trimmed to fit the foam on his wrist. the Helmet Visor is made from a Gundam Alex Shield and trimmed down into shape. the Antenna/Range Finder is the stock from a Mobile Suit Rifle and carved down into shape. the armor on the shins is the same foam sheet. im still deciding if i want to Make the Chest plate for the ARC Trooper and the rest of the shin armor.

give me some advice for future customs. Thanx.

Cool paint schemes on the clones Darth Strife, the visor on ARC Duster, are they custom or did you aquire them from another action figure? Not to familiar with that type of visor.

thanx,
The visor is actually a section of a MSIA Gundam Alex's Shield. i cut a section out of the shield and nicked  myself pretty good shaving the inside out of the shield to get the visor thin enough,lol.

thanx everyone. i  just started college for the next 2 semesters and will have more spendable income.(wierd how backwards that sounds, but true, lol.) and i just picked up a 1/6th scale plain white phase 2 clone to work on and two more black series 6 inch clones to work on. im thinking of selling my customs on ebay to fund a new custom clone trooper series of my own. im thinking of doing clones from the Clone Wars series and selling them.
