you could always use a newer clone and completely repaint it from scratch and then add the blue.

That is a great idea.  I might just try that.  Thanks!

Some how, my old paint brush went missing, so my dad picked up a five pack.  A great gift at that, I went out and picked up some paint.  I'm waiting to get a Commander Cody figure to make a figure I had seen on the internet.  Below is a picture of the nameless trooper.  I am also thinking about picking up two other figures, one to do a Commander Bly from the Clone Wars and another to do a Commander Kite.  I hope I don't get ahead of myself with all these project ideas.

I like that light blue color scheme.  The file says "clone scupa commander" is it supposed to be scuba?

just a though I just had, someone needs to paint up a scuba clone with a two toned color scheme resembling a great white shark.  At the aquarium my familly when to the other day there was a display outlining the ability of a shark to blend in to all of it's surroundings, it's white belly blending in with the sunlight, the dark grey back blending in with the deep hues of the ocean when seen from above and the dark transitional line along it's side hiding it from view when seen sideways... I think that'd be a cool color scheme for a scuba clone...

I agree.  That would be a cool color scheme.  An idea I actually had was Aqua-Trooper Mandalorians.  Pretty much an idea I developed from my fish, Boba and Jodo.  I've worked on designs, but nothing I found to be perfection.  I'm still working on it.

That is a good idea.
  Hey Spud, didn't you mention one time that you wanted to make a scuba mando?

yeah, scuba mando's was an Idea I had also had a long time back.

I was trying to diversify on the mando armor just like the clones have done.  FOr example have a sand-mando armor, aquatic-mando, high/no-atmosphere suit, space-mando, super-armor mando, yuzong vong crab armor mando, snow mando, commander-mando, heavy artillary mando, mando scout...  etc....

I've so far gotten a space-mando, super-armor, and mando scout designed.  but the space armor sucked... lol

Well, I have the paints for the SCUBA Commander, but not the figure.  I also ordered a Droidbait figure to make a Bly.  Later on, I am going to get a Rex and Cody figure to make the Scuba and Kite figures.  But first I need to build up my money supply first.

I have the Droidbait figure on the way so I can make the Bly.  I also purchased a Thire just for enjoyment.  Today, I'm heading down to Hershey.  I might be able to stop at a Wal-Mart along the way to pick up some yellow paint for the Kite and Bly figure.  Other than that, all I need to do is pick up Cody, Rex, and Gree figures and I'll be done.  (Gree for enjoyment as well).

I found a Rex figure for $7.99, so if I get that I'll be able to make the Commander Bly figure.

Starting a new figure now with an origin of a Droidbait figure.  Hope it turns out well.

I was thinking about doing that Bly figure, but I never got the Rex Body for it.  Now I need to brainstorm new ideas.
