Thanks for the link Scarlet. I know HLJ, but I fear I have to pay import taxes when I order from them, and I don't have the slightest idea how much...
Has anyone from Europe tried ordering from HLJ before?

I believe you do have to pay for import taxes. BCM got hit quite alot with one of the medicom figures.

Which helmets do you need? All?

That biker scout looks terrific...

You can't even tell that's the TOMY helmet on top...it must be a good one...

Well, not sure yet, but since I love to complete collections, I probably go for all of them, if they are not to expencive. I have all of the LotR helms too, so I think it'll be cool to have all of the SW helms. I have never seen one of 'em in real life though, so I don't know what the actual size is, what material they are made off, and so on.

Scarlet, that Biker scout looks amazing. What other parts did you use? Is it a mix of Kotobukiya and Hasbro parts? I've been wanting to make one of those for a while now. Great work so far.
Thanks, Ryan.

Hey Ryan, It's actually made of medicom body, the Tomy helmet, Hasbro Scoutrooper(that came with the bike) and gloves from Medicom Vader.

I used the inner suit that came with marmit stormie, I think tho i'm intending to use this instead.

I'm not even close in being done as there's more details to add. The parts from the koto biker scout would be an excellent custom fodder.

Weathering will be added later too.

 

[Scarlet]

ohh, I used Marmit fett's vinyl pockets on Scout trooper.

 

[Ryan1982]

Thanks Scarlet. I have the Koto Biker Scout that I took apart hoping to use the armor for a custom Scout. I havent been able to find an inexpensive Hasbro Scout though. Anyway, yours looks great and I cant wait to see it finished. I've always been a fan of your work.
Thanks, Ryan

 

[Scarlet]

Hehe, I'm a fan of your clone troopers too Ryan.

I think ideally, the koto makes a great "extra" for a custom scoutrooper due to it's detailed acessories like the tube thing at the trooper's back.

I'm not sure whether his main chest armour could be taken off and if it'ssoft enough to make it suitable to put on.

I really love the detail of the gun that comes with the koto kit.

I agree that the Hasbro Biker scout is really expensive, just keep "scouting" on ebay, who knows you might score a "bargain".

 

[Ryan1982]

Thanks Scarlet.
The chest piece on the Koto probably isnt ideal to use. It's shaped awkwardly due to the pose the Koto scout is in. All of the other arm and knee armor is really good though. Maybe a little less bulky than the Hasbro armor too.
Have you tried to fit a regular sized head under that TOMY scout helmet? or is it too small.
Thanks, Ryan

Wow, Series 3 should certainly make the process of doing custom Clones much more palatable (and less expensive). I'm especially digging that Bacara.
