I'm warming up a bit to the First Order Stormtrooper design, but it'll never touch the original.

I got a body, helmet and ammo pouch...working on putting it together.

HT bucket on a custom Marmit.

More photos to follow!
 
It was a random imitation of a wide shoulder HT body. It was too tall and large. I had to cut the legs and so the torso is longer Han the proper scale..his legs can't close completely, but it worked as a larger, bigger Squad leader...which was what I was going for in that figure.

I'm finishing a turkey plate, then I'm off for more photos and customizing the figure.
 
Thanks, dms54nc. I went with a white pauldron version from Marmit and used the SSC hands and pack that came with the SSC white paulron trooper.

The HT helmet works on Marmit figures, defines better if you customized it on a smaller body. I was also able to use plastic clips on the packs so they don't slip and stay at the right height on the back.

I was surprised at how well the helmet was made. It also has a light gloss coat on it that doesn't show up in photos. It's better than I expected. I'm super stoked and can't wait to get my complete Squad leader from SSC in the next week or so.
 
Looks amazing solo_bones! Other than the helmet all the armour is Marmit?

No, only on those first two. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to set up the HT body with armor, as it came only with hands, feet and armor. I had to use two SSC pouches, one Marmit pauldron and SSC backpack, hands and guns.

It's very identical to Marmit armor, but of course much more crisp and defined edges, along with being stronger and better paint app. It ended up looking almost exactly like my custom Marmit, pictured side by side.

Here they are, HT on left, Marmit custom on right.

There are some great pictures and impressions in here! I've always loved the sand trooper design, but I swore off troopers. Though playing battlefront as the Empire on Tatooine is nudging me the other way..

It doesn't help that I ran around jumping like an idiot and completely wrecked the other team as the sandy :lol
