Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Chakaman]

A bit more weathering. I will go in and also add some battle-damage.

I will probably wait till I have the Sideshow ones in hand so I can match up the weathering on all three.

After a long day at work, I always like seeing your awesome projects. I especially like Garon.

Thanks man!!

I should be getting my two Snowtroopers today from Sideshow. I am really looking forward to weathering them up and making up my three man squad. I was able to add a few parts from TA to complete my custom trooper. I think he will fit in nicely with Sideshow's versions.

Im pretty sure I am going to have to break down and buy the E-Web cannon now.

I just got the Sideshow Snowtrooper today. I must say this is one of the best figures Sideshow has made.

After I messed with it for a while I decided to put the Sideshow mask and hands on my custom trooper. I am not finished with this one, but here is what it looks like right now....

I got some parts from TA for this one last night, but they havent arrived yet. I couldnt wait to see what they will look like so went ahead and did the swap out tonight. I also have the SSC coat coming that I will use on this one.

I think this one will look just fine with the 2 Sideshow ones. I am really looking forward to modding/weathering them all.

yea..hate you...lol...although your customs are pretty sweet...cant wait to get my ST next week....oh yea...

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks SR, I think.

We are getting tons of snow here today. Looks like I am going to be stuck at home for a few days. Kinda ironic that I got my Snowtrooper yesterday.

Anyways, looks like I am going to have some time to work on these guys.

Snowtrooper squad build table....

 

[spiderrogue]

nice stuff on your troopers

 

[Chakaman]

This is my custom/modded Hasbro trooper with Sideshow helmet and coat. I still need to do the lower arm armor.

nice work chris. should make for an awesome dee-splay.

i snagged a set of boots from t/a that i plan to upgrade on my custom with.

this should have been a no brainer purchase for me but i'm just still not crazy about that helmet & facemask.

 

[spiderrogue]

mine will be on the way soon..oh yea...so i just found out that you can have them ship with either usp or fedex and if you choose one or the other and like them more, they will always ship your stuff that way(i like ups...friendlier around here)....lol...ok, so i learned something new today..

I know what you mean about the helmet, but it looks pretty good in hand. I probably will eventually mod mine a bit. Im looking forward to seeing your custom upgraded with his new boots.

Cheers mate! Its a great figure. You wont regret picking one up.


My other Snowtrooper arrived. Now I just have to wait for a few bits from TA and Im all set.

 

[Chakaman]

Weathered up the chest and shoulder armor a bit more. I want my troopers to look different.

comparison shot....stock sideshow on the right

Diggin those, Chaka! I think the differences in the Hasbro stuff are subtle enough to go unnoticed. Great to see some Empire stuff from you!

Thanks X. I appreciate it bro. I plan on using the Hasbro bashed one in the background.

Looks great dude! Excellent idea to give some distinction between the troopers & remove the "cookie cutter" appearance.

Couple shots of the added weathering. Still not finished. I need to dirty the body suit on the arms and do some more work on the guantlets and helmet.

Looks great you need the cannon now.
