Custom 6" Black Series Storm Trooper Commander

Post by Edward26 »

Here is my first attempt at customizing.

I used
Tamiya Masking Tape
Tamiya XF-8 Flat Blue Paint
Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner
Gundam Marker GM301
Gundam Marker GM21

Started with a basic figure then worked on the rest.
Finished it with some panel lines and acrylic wash.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Not a bad effort :-) Well done.
I must really start creating my own custom figures.

Good fun! I always thought the Commander was a smart looking stormtrooper variant.

Got some craft foam today from the Look Smart shop. I could not find a black foam sheet. So I got a pack of mixed colors.
I am going have to try painting on foam tomorrow.

Have a sore throat so called in sick today.
Here is my Shadow Stormtrooper.

This is very easy to do, just over 2 hours to complete.
I did not need to mask the body.
The paint I used is Tamiya Semi_Gloss Spray.
