Nice Force Awakens Han! But one thing I like is re-designs and I really dig the armored Han you built a lot!!

Marauder Armor Captain Phasma (Page 12)
« Reply #181 on: June 10, 2016, 06:52:04 PM »
Greetings gents!

Here's yet another Star Wars character.. yup.. in Marauder Armor. I haven't been able to find the Walmart Black Series Phasma yet, so I decided to make my own. And I'm more satisfied with this version as opposed to Hasbro's

Body, pouches, shoulder armor, and alternative head are all Marauder INC.
Helmet, belt, cape and blaster are from the 5POA Phasma
Chest armor is from the Armor Up (WarMachine) Finn

I painted the Marauder Task Force figure's armor plates silver, as well as the Armor Up Finn's. I cut the neck peg off of the 5POA Phasma, cut the host figure body's too. I actually added a little piece of plastic I saw laying around to elevate the peg a bit higher, to give Phasma more height.

I also cut off one the extra pouches I ordered from Marauder INC and glued the peg on to the blaster, so it can peg in to Phasma's thigh.

I loved that we never saw Phasma's face in Force Awakens. Which got me thinking.. how cool would it be that Phasma is the name of the armor, and not the person wearing it? If someone dies wearing it, another dons it. And Phasma lives on.. living up to the namesake... which is a ghost/phantom/apparition. Phasma could be male or female. Alien or human.

Anyway, comments are always welcome!

I like your take on this character so much better. Looks tough. You are sure using those Marauder Figures to great effect. Off to share on the front pages.

I really like how the Marauder base adds detail to the armor. Great job with these (Phasma looks great!).

Rogue One: Jyn Erso and Death Trooper Officer
« Reply #186 on: October 13, 2016, 07:10:25 AM »
Hey guys!

Like the majority of you...I'm getting super pumped about Rogue One. Sadly, Hasbro still doesn't "get" what people want.. figures with articulation greater than 5 points.

So what happens when Hasbro will only give us 5 points of articulation 4 inch figures? We rebel! And make our own!


And that's what I did. with Jyn Erso and for the fun of it...a Death Trooper Officer to command the troops.

Let me know what you think! I'll also be putting them on ebay if anyone is interested.

Beautifully done.
What figures did you use for joint fodder?
How did you match the paint so well?
What's your technique for preventing joint rub?

Brilliant job on the Phasma! I really enjoyed your concept and the execution is excellent. The Jyn and Death Trooper are great. I think that Jyn's head is a movie Scarlet Witch, am I right? Its a surprisingly good choice for as a substitute head.
