Chad, holy cow man! I love these Joes. You did a really good job on them. Leatherneck is one of my favorites too.

Alright guys I have been meaning to do this since the extended trailer for the Clone Wars season 4 came out. So today i finally sat down to figure out how to make a phase 2 (or 1.5 whatever) Rex. I think I pulled it off pretty well. I used a clone wars regular clone helmet and one of those old 501st clone helmet (when they were called tactical troopers). I cut off the bottom ridge carefully and with a little left over. The I measured and cut the bottom half of the 501st helmet all the way up to the teeth portion of the breathing mask. Then I glued them together. Then I cut off the fin and replaced it with the ridge on the phase 2 helmet. Then I gave it a Rex rangefinder. After that I painted it up. It was so long that I had to extend Rex's neck by a few millimeters.

That helmet looks like it was a challenge to make; a really nice job despite! 

The helmet looks to be a little too large for the CW Rex's body, but all-in-all, your work looks good thus far. 

On a side note: love the Trandoshan pod!  Great combination of available parts and the paint/sticker apps work extremely well!   Swwweeeeet!    ;D

You are corect in thinking it was a challenge. I tooke me about 2 hours to finish it. Cutting and assembling the pieces was hard enough and then I had to sand it all down so you couldn't see the lines before I painted it. I didn't think it was going to work. Yeah it look aliitle big but that cannot be helped. Oh and the pod is all hand painted no stickers.

I cut the ball joint off. Glued a piece of the post of another figures neck and then reglued on the ball joint. Pretty simple actually.
