I really like the look and feel of the SS Clones.
Now I dont have one yet but will be getting the 212th soon. I have Clonobi and stripped him down to the Clone. I wanna make a custom. While looking at it and all these pics there was something that has always bothered me. Its the shoulder armor (bells), they are connected to the strap that connect front and back torso armor (over the traps). So I went looking at pics of Clones and modded this for a better more accurate look. Very easy to do.
Snip the bells from the straps and use velcro or blue tac on the inside to secure them.

The nice thing is when posing just take them off pose and put back on.
Thought I would share, was not sure if anyone has done this.
 
Good Idea Joda76!

That's how the Medi shoulder bells are fixed on (velcro) looks 100% better.

My latest obsession, building an EpII army.

Hey, C-Bob. Very nice Bakara mate. Excellent collection you have, nice mix of original figures and customs (all of which are of a very high standard!)

I love your setup m8 looks great with them standing there :D

I have a few more clones m8 i just put him with my normal stormies for that piccie. He's now back with my 2 mandalorians & misc bounty hunter, blackhole stormie, commander stormie and the SS utapau and Imperial Shock Trooper clones :rock

oof! thanks for showing me these pics, now I know to scrap the lolly-pop clone helmet mold... looks terrible! I may just recast my Medi, or, when it comes, my SS EpII clone... I too want to build an army of AOTC clones...
 
Thanks DG and great pics. Makes me wanna start an Army of my own.
 
Funnily enough I prefer the "Lolly Pop" lid to the medi one, although from other pics here Sideshows looks the best.

BTW Dude. You come off really rude in some of your posts. Water off a ducks back to me, but you might want to think before you hit post. Pretty sure you p*** people off unintentionally.

Not starting a fight mate, just saying...

Agreed on that agreed.... :lecture

Use a bit more tact when commenting on some of these items. People put a lot effort and time into them. I know for a fact that you've rubbed a few people the wrong way. IMO you're just giving feedback, but you should still try to use kid gloves when doing so.
 
Oh... sorry then didn't mean to be a jerk-arse...

was tired when I posted that, wasn't exactly thinking straight at the time :D

The lolly-pop lid isn't terrible, just something about it looks slightly off to me... maybe it's cuz the area under the chin doesn't look bulgy enough next to the medi's.. perhaps the medi's are overly bulgified? IDK

hmm.. by itself the lolly-pop lid looks pretty good actually...

sorry for being rude... :monkey3
 
No probs mate! I wasn't starting a "let's flame the dude" petition, don't like to see someone getting stuck on "Ignore" when they don't realise they've offended (Like I say, I don't care what anyone say's about my stuff, they're only toys after all!) but maybe a second read through some of your, shall we say, harsher criticisms might not be a bad idea.:D:peace

See Dude, this: "something about it looks slightly off to me... maybe it's cuz the area under the chin doesn't look bulgy enough next to the medi's.. perhaps the medi's are overly bulgified? IDK" just tells everone so much more then "terrible".... Honest feedback is a good thing!
:D
 
I just hatched an evil plan!

err... a good idea.

So I see people selling the Medi Yellow commander figure on eBay for upwards of $200 (there was one for $250 BIN), so I was thinking that if they really do sell for that price, I could sell mine and use it to buy about 2 and a half SS clone troopers (this is what I calculated after the estimated $30 worth of eBay fees taken off the selling price), and if I was really desperate, I could whip out some yellow spraypaint and masking tape on one of the clones...

Think it could work?

The flipside is, if the Medi is such a valuable figure, do I really want to get rid of it? And what if prices went up so much on the medi in a few years that I could use the money from it to pay for three SS clones?

Hopefully you guys won't all sell your medi's and grab 2 SS clones, or else that would drive up the SS clones' price and devalue the Medi's and screw everything up and then I would still only have 1 clone in my clone "army" and I would be sad and go die... or something like that!

Just thought I'd share my insanity with the universe! (or at least the part of the universe that likes 1/6 troopers!) :D
 
i have a 2 clonobis , where i can find a clone head for one of my clonobis ?

The answer to your question is me!

Only it's me in February, when I am going to recast either my lolly-head, Medicom lid, or Sideshow bucket (my SS should show up sometime soon) and buy a clonobi for myself...

just have to wait for more silicone molding rubber... ordered it, don't think it'll be here til February... But if you can wait that long, I could probably send you one for the price of the shipping... :D

for now tho, you may want to PM darthgothikus and ask him where he got his lolly-pop head clone helmet (its actually from a 1/6 clone trooper bust made in 2002, it split open at a hinge so you could remove a lolly-pop from inside, and thus the name "lolly-pop clone" refers to clones with recasts of this bust's head as their helmet)

and BTW :lurking much? I mean really, how can you only post twice in almost 3 months?

Tisk tisk.... :lol (just kidding)

a somwhat late welcome to SSF to you then! :D

i dont post because my english sucks, i can understand mor or less but talk its another story XD

and yes , i can wait till you made a recast , i cant send PMs because i need to have more posts .
 
i recently got a sandtrooper figure. after hours of futzing, i think i finally got him looking pretty good. i couldn't get that pack as tight as i wanted so i ran the straps at an X pattern across his chest under the armor. now it sits nice and snug in that slot on his back. i also made my own "look sir droids" ring. it is just a small brass ring. i think it looks pretty good.
