Topic: Cubanpete's customized Clone/stormtroopers.

[Cubanpete24]

so far, all of my customs, in order

















I've also done 1 speederbike, but modified it.






before


after

[Tamer]

Oh yeah, look who just made the front page!

[Cubanpete24]

thank you so much Tamer

I now feel that I am truly, part of the Yards

man pete, I almost... almost like that speeder better with the white color scheme better.  It makes it look more like a clone trooper's bike.  maybe to make it look better with the new rider you should paint more black on him?  idk... it still looks awesome.  I can't get over the blades on the front end.  I'm not kidding when I say I've been mulling over that idea for ages and could never get it to look right....  I always made it too complicated , wanting spring loaded blades to swing out from the sides or some crazy crap like that.

[Cubanpete24]

well the reason I painted it all black for the contest, was because I had to modify it for the contest so says the rules.

also, I'm done with yet another custom. I was awake all night painting this, jacked up on coffee and kool-aid.


everything I used, kool-aid included

[spudafett]

I like that last one.  Honestly, I have yet to get a cammando fig.  I don't think I'd know what to do with one.  I can't get into the custom clone mindset, I'm so stuck on boba, mandos, bounty hunters, and other underworld thugs to think about all the different versions of clones.... of course I have done a few clones here and there though.

[Cubanpete24]

I've been thinking of customizing a mandalorian, but I wouldn't dream repainting my Evolutions boba Fett.

[spudafett]

i've never opened my evolutions pack... I've been trying to track down a cheap loose fig and/or trying to be patient enough for the repack of the evolutions boba to come out as a single card to do a super articulated version of him.  I've had in my mind forever to do a "ultimate boba" pack where he has all the different parts possible to have. 

ultimately the idea goes like this:
a basic boba fett figure that has removable Helmet/chest/back/shoulder/cod peice/etc armor that can be switched from ESB/ROTJ/Animated debut colors

Both jetpack versions

Extra armor add-ons (like the repainted gi-joe Wraith Removable armor) as well as suped up jet packs  (maybe even a youzong vong (sp?) crab armor version of the mando armor?)

extra greeblies to bring out each distinct gauntlet weopon, (removable flame effect, monofilament lasso, darts, jango style blades etc)

customized slave 1 to go with figure...

customized han solo in carbonite

extra weopons boba has been seen with in the toy lines as well as in the movies/cartoons.  (ex: lightsaber! vibro-staff, etc)

the box for which he fights vader for, from the comic "enemies of the empire" (I think that's it....)

a customized version of the droid from star wars droids (the one that was just released in the dark trooper build a droid set)

A custom built ARTICULATED version of the animated holiday special monster boba is seen riding on....

alot of ideas for the ultimate boba fett action figure set...  the hardest part will be making a set of removable armor.  I think I might have to just do the three different versions of him instead of doing it that way....

anyways, I kind of got off on my own little tangent there, sorry 

[Cubanpete24]

another Badass feature should be removable flames from the jetpack, I don't know which figure, but one boba fett figure has uberbad articulation, but has these awesome flames  going out of the jetpack, whch are removable.

and I love Boba Fett, and the thought of having a box set of all the things on your list made me jizz myself.

[spudafett]

dang pete, you would think of something I forgot!  that removable flame detail is perfect.

Oh and the sarlac playset too! gotta have that.... lol

and a battle damaged sarlac entrail covered version of boba to go with it.

[Cubanpete24]

while we're talking about Boba fett, have you seen the robot chicken sketch where Boba Fett falls into the Sarlecc pit.

hasbro should release the ultimate Boba Fett playset. I'd wait in line to get it.

[spudafett]

LOVE robot chicken, definately one of the best ones is the sarlac and boba... I still think the luke vs vader yo mamma joke sketch is my favorite though.

[Cubanpete24]

any skit with Boba is my favorite.

[Clonehead]

That's a good looking rc, pete I didn't recognize the backpack. Did you make that one?

[Cubanpete24]

somewhat

the rc I used was in a comic pack, the commando was blank, which is just what I needed.

for the backpack, I had to get creative, because I wanted this commando to be special. I cut up 2 of these guns, which back then I would dread, but now, they're everywhere



and painted them Catachan green.
