Hey Names Jason. been a Novice Custom toy guy for a while and never thought my customs where that good. i have posted up my pics on Google Plus and some people seem to like them so i wanted to do more with my Customs. i bought some scrap leather and foam sheets and went to work. i hope you enjoy.

here is my first paint scheme for Lt. Breaker.


Here is my revised Lt. Breaker


Here is the Start of Arc Trooper Duster


Here is a closer to Finished Arc Duster.


and here is my Completed ARC Trooper Duster


here is Duster and Breaker together.


the Paudrons are a thin piece of suede shaped down into a oval doughnut and placed under the helmet. i trimmed the bottom lip off of both Clones Helmets to fit the leather. i used foam sheet cut into shape for the shoulder armor and then painted it. the designs on the Armor are just my own thing. the Kama on Duster is made of the same Suede and the side bags where at first folded foam sheet glued together then i though it looked too fake so i then trimmed some brown leather and made them out of that. the flame thrower on Duster's Left arm is made from a Gundam Tow cable and trimmed to fit the foam on his wrist. the Helmet Visor is made from a Gundam Alex Shield and trimmed down into shape. the Antenna/Range Finder is the stock from a Mobile Suit Rifle and carved down into shape. the armor on the shins is the same foam sheet. im still deciding if i want to Make the Chest plate for the ARC Trooper and the rest of the shin armor.

give me some advice for future customs. Thanx.

Cool paint schemes on the clones Darth Strife, the visor on ARC Duster, are they custom or did you aquire them from another action figure? Not to familiar with that type of visor.

thanx,
The visor is actually a section of a MSIA Gundam Alex's Shield. i cut a section out of the shield and nicked  myself pretty good shaving the inside out of the shield to get the visor thin enough,lol.
