Yoda and Concept Trooper
After a discussion on my Ahsoka Trooper pic with Raven and Tim, I came across the concept art for what was to be Yoda's troopers and recreated it in LEGO! The SWCA Untold Clone Wars Panel revealed some really interesting designs that I hope to undertake into LEGO projects, with this trooper included.
From what I could gather, he had a design of Yoda's head silhouette painted onto his helmet with a couple other green markings that patterned his chest and shoulder pads. The designs came out really cleanly and I believe I'm the first to make this trooper, if I'm not mistaken. He's topped off with CAC's new Ranged backpacks, making for a great match to the concept art.
I planned only on making the trooper, but decided to make Yoda to go with it (foreshadowing future projects), especially since I haven't seen many Yoda customs. I loved the shape of the new Yoda head but couldn't stand the lack of hair detail, so I sculpted hair onto our little green friend. I also disliked the proportions of the official figure, so I modified the torso, legs, and arms to all be more accurately scaled, sculpting feet and hands on these modified parts and topping it off with a custom robe (with custom cloth sleeves!). I'm really liking how it turned out.
So, as seen here and on my Instagram (shamelessly self-promoting @avxtc_designs), clones won't be the only Star Wars customs I'll be making! So as always, expect more, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!
