D.R.37's Cargo Hold: 1/6 Star Wars Mods & Customs

[D.R.37]

Cracked open the new Scout Trooper & Speederbike recently and it is an amazing set, especially the detailing on the bike. Looks like they put a bit more time in the weathering: subtle scratches and dings came out great!
I was hoping to get a more compressed riding stance and got this far; pretty much the extent of the figures squatting position while still being able to grasp the handlebars and gain footing on the pedals.

I wanted to get him seated in a position closer to the stop-motion model but with a more natural stance.

So I did a body swap with a Sideshow Mythos Fett body (5 point accordian type ab articulation) but had to replace the lower legs to accomodate the Hot Toys ankle pegs.

Amazing pics and posing!!
I only went for the Trooper- unfortunately no space for the bike

How exactly did you change the helmet? Any reference you used to change it? Did you do it with a 3-d printing program?

The helmets were swapped out. I got some prints from a buddy in the UK. Had to prep and paint them using refs from the film.

One of Vader’s wingmen, Mithel aka Mauler in the works. Just waiting on decals to finish the helmet. Stand in trooper armor until I can sort out the pilot’s chest rig.

Thanks, Chris!
Couldn’t find decals so the lettering was a frustratingly-fun challenge.

Excellent work! Where'd you get the decals?

Thanks man
Not sure if HT copied the flight suits on the Mando Scouts from the show, but the ones used on the figures are identical to the Tie Pilots, which is what i used on this guy. There’s a spot on the sleeve for the data pad and matching pocket panels throughout.
I’m guessing they’ll do some minor tweaks to it since there’s no slots for the code cylinders or actual pockets but when/if they finally decide to release their version they’ve got the flightsuit
