DanOfTheDead's customs 2/4 Republic Commando aka "Tank"
« Reply #21 on: February 04, 2010, 09:45:08 PM »


So Clone Wars got me interested in Clones, and now I'm reading the Karen Traviss Republic Commando novels. Between the two, I'm finding the Grand Army of the Republic a lot more interesting that it was initially presented in Episode 2 and 3.

RC-1308 is heavy weapons specialist (shown with his custom DC-117, a heavier but less versatile version of the DC-17) who earned the nickname "Tank" when a clerical mistake assigned him to an assault in place of a TX-130S, a Republic Fighter Tank. By the time the error could be corrected, RC-1308 had managed to actually complete the assignment on his own.

I really like the design of this guy, but he started giving me more and more problems the closer I got to being finished with him. The grey paint was too thick and went on lump, the black paint was too watery and smeared every where. I managed to glue the arm posts in place when I resealed the torso, and when I tried to replace the articulation with a wooden dowel rode, I managed to drill straight out through the shoulder.

Still, I like him, I see him as kind of a "gentle giant" for a Commando.

REPUBLIC COMMANDO DELTA SQUAD SEV: Torso, Upper Arms, Helmet
GALACTIC MARINE (Order 66): Legs, Boots

i like the idea of adding the galactic marine foot wear,  you'll probably be copied on that. what i really cool about that is that when i was in the air force  we'd get rid of our boots asap and get a pair of the pilots boots as they were cooler than the regular ones so your idea is tops

Wow guys, thanks for all the kind words! And for the front page feature! Ya'll know how to make a customizer feel welcome!

I initially thought of him as an "orphan" (last remaining RC from his squad) but now I'm considering fleshing out his brothers.
