Yeah! Tarkin looks impresive! You're right Outlander, I think the neck is a little long

Some progress pics. AT-AT commander is coming along and I started Ahsoka's lightsaber.

Looks promising so far. I like that you made the cylinder thingie on the back of the helmet…very nice touch.

Forgot to post some pics of this guy.

Just a generic Imperial Lieutenant. Nobody specific.

Hasbro uniform
DID head
TT knowckoff body heavily modified
DID boots
buckle boxes and rank insignia from Duane - Thanks!
belt = Pleather
Holster = scratch built
Code cylinders = styreene rods and such
Blaster - Luke DL-44 with scope removed. No telephone cord though

I like the details on the AT-AT Commander helmet. Nice job.

It amazes me how good you can get the Hasbro Imperial outfits to look, super stuff man

Yep.

I think so. Even though the back always ends up looking mashed, but its in the back so... :meh:
At least the AT-AT commander has armor to cover most of it, so I'll probably pose him more dynamically

The think that always bugged me about the SSC uniforms was the shoulder flap. It just sticks out--or up I should say-- like a sore thumb. Then again I've never actually held one in my hands.

Yea, the flaps are not the best. I have removed the velcro from the flaps on a couple of my SSC officer suits and added a dab of glue to hold them down. They sit much lower.

Great work on that Imperial Lieutenant, I love the detail you put into each of your pieces and Ahsoka's saber is coming along fantastic. Thanks again for the heads up and tips on your Ahsoka I got the body and ordered the head so far.

Thanks!
Good to soon have another Ahsoka. I look forward to seeing your progress. I am almost at the painting stage but I'm not looking forward to it. Female eyes, complex face markings, rubber torso, the list goes on... Worst part of this hobby...NO UNDO BUTTON!

I also could not find any boots or shoes that would work. They are either too big or too small or just wrong all together, so I made some feet. They're not pretty, but they work.

Love the work on the ATST diver Natedog and Asokas sober is looking fanchuffintastic!

Re: Natedog's figure bashes and customs - Update! Scout Trooper Page 20

Ahsoka's saber is done and she's ready for paint after I clean up some of the injection spots.

Any tips for doing her face markings? My plan was to start with a white base coat, then attempt to mask off the areas and then do the orange. They're pretty small and intricate though so I'm not confident I can do it that way. I suppose I can always go back after and cut back any areas that need it. Still...any thoughts?

Oww me days!!! that sabre is ding dong, lovely finish on it.. and Ahsoka's looking most splendid.. how tall is she next to a regular figure Spud?

Couldn't tell ya, but I'd love to have an Ahsoka figure some day. haha

Great start, please keep us posted. I love how she looks.

Thanks guys! I'll start painting soon. Here she is with Anakin and Obiwan for size comparison.
