Those Death Star troopers are excellent. 100% custom, right, Chris?
Nice looking DSTs guys What gloves did you guys use? Been thinking of putting one of these guys together.
For the one on the left, what's on his ears? How'd you put that together?
Mine are from the Sideshow Praji (they are hard as a rock btw...) and it looks like Chakaman used the Hasbro Garindan gloves, which are actually a pretty decent sculpt for hasbro.
Sideshow Maul v1 gloves work well too.
Thanks for the kind words guys. Talibane, I really like the look of your DST's. I need to update mine, they are a few years old.
Those are actually a WW2 headset from Dragon or DiD that Enaud cast up for me a while back. I just painted them up..

I actually used Praji gloves on my Death Star Trooper.
I agree. I actually used those on my custom Garindan.....

Love it. I think you have the same hood/cape I have (it's a tough look to match.) I like those gloves better than the TIE pilot gloves I'm using. I'm still hoping to do some mods to the Hasbro Garindan head - it's a really nice sculpt that has only a few inaccuracies.
What weird about Garindan is I dont think there is a single clear ref pic of what his body looks like, so the blet and lower body is anyone's guess. I can't think of many SW characters that have no ref pics at all for most of their look.
If anyone wants some similar gloves, both the Matty and Blitzway Ghostbusters gloves are vaguely similar to those Maul gloves (which are tough to find.) The Matty sculpts are close to on-par with the Blitzway ones (and are perhaps better scaled) and are affordable when they come up.
And damn, that Kenner DST looks awesome. Still want to do that one.
There’s a good recast with improvements on the Garindan sculpt on eBay, from a guy in Spain. I bought one and I’m in process of finalizing the painting on it now. Also there’s son good capes on eBay that you can piece together to make a decent attempt.

Those custom Death Star Trooper and Commander are just the business. Love them.
