Nice shadow trooper double-A, you might wanna look for a stormie rifle at some point, but the German MG-34 holds up pretty well... the 34 was actually the basis for sandtrooper rifles...

actually, I think you are probably using a Medicom sandtrooper rifle, in which case, they are inaccurate because that is a pretty much unmodified MG-34...

although there is this pic of a sandie with an unmodified one...

but this type of sandtrooper rifle seems most likely to be accurate... (or should I say... Mos Eisley to be accurate? :lol)

I just don't think WW2 weapons should have made it into the SW universe without modifications to be definitively "Star Wars-y"
Thanks for your comment! I didn't think of that. I just though the Shadow Trooper would look bad ass with the MG-34, and, if you know how puny the Medicom blasters are, it's not to hard to be tempted to replace them with a weapon that has a bit more 'presents'. Besides, in comparison to the black of the blaster that came with the Shadow Trooper, the gunmetal grey of the MG-34 stands out better against the black armor, which was better for the pictures.
But I actually used the MG-34 which came with the Medicom Kerberos.

Gotta love those Kerberos! Superb as always Alice!

Mine are Takara, what do you think of the Medicom version?
 
Just to complicate your lives, the gun with the large barrel casing isn't an MG-34; it's a WW1 Lewis with the water jacket installed and the ammo drum removed...PS
 
Never had the Takara Kerberos version in hand, so I can't compare.They look awesome though, and wouldn't mind having one! But I like the Medicom version fine. It has all you would expect from such a 12".
 
Finally bought some decent shelves for my boys.


Now I just need another 38 to house the rest...

This guy finally arrived today, like him allot, but damn if his left shoulder isn't so loose I thought it was detatched!

Looks so good Colin, love the new clone, is the armour identical to the EP3 ones?

Those cabinets look amazing to...
 
Cheers Mark

Armour looks identical to me, just the helmet is changed (Best EpII helmet so far in my opinion)

I was surprised at just how "Matt" the armour finish is. It's nice, but I can't help feeling it would look better with a hi-gloss finish. Dunno, that's just me I guess...

and the cabinets, whoo what a steal! saw an advert on a hand written card in Sainsbury's £30 for the two, with lights and the guy threw in a bookshelf and delivered! My lucky day.
 
LOL I wish!

Only got 10 clones (I think) plus Cloneobi and I'm working on turning Mace, Kit, Saesee, and Kai Adi into "Generals" well I've got all those Cloneobi capes now.

So I'll have 15 EpII Armoured up bad boys soon!

How's your army coming on?
 
LOL they are gonna be great. Got any pics of the generals yet?

Mine will be 8 strong once I have cast the armour and stuff...
 
Oh no DG, only 10 clones strong...

my "army" is only 2 and a half strong...

that's 1 medi commander, 1 SS EpII and a (temporarily) helmetless clonobi trooper!

the worst part is, I started a new 1/6 figure for which a stormie or 2 would be nice to display with...

just kidding, the worst part of it all is the fact I no longer have enough extra cash lying around to buy another SS fig at a time when I now need both more clones and some stormies...

maybe I'll have to cheap out and go T-god style and buy a Hasbro clone and trade something* with Dorgs for some good chest armor

*(I am making something I have discussed with him already,but am keeping it a secret to everyone else until it's done! and also when there are some up for sale on eBay... :D)

So, what do you say Dorgs, would you be willing to send me some chest armor if I sent you an item or 2? Maybe 1 painted up for you and one left just the way it is for you to work into? I promise I'll get around to casting it eventually... Of course, I would send the item (perhaps x2, depending on what you want) first and then let you decide about the armor...

Oh no! I've started writing a PM in here! Oh well :D

I wish I was a girrafe-necked fish-man, then I could grow my own clone army and not owe my soul to sideshow...

PS by fish-man I meant Kaminoan!

Cool DG, those cabinets are great! Why displaying a single figure per shelf, you could have 3-4 and still not being cluttered? BTW I like that SS Vader looking at the Medicom ShadowTrooper kid :D
 
Begun the Clone Wars have...

Bit of work to do painting heads/helmets etc. and the "Generals" are a bit of a work in progress, see what's in my bits 'n' bobs draw... anyone want to donate some old Hasbro clone/stormtrooper armour, feel free! :D
