Black Sun Customs
Advanced Combat Trooper
With a few days till the end of Legomoc's contest, I thought I'd upload my entry before it's too late. With so many clone troopers being overdone these days, I wanted to make something unique and new.
Honestly, this fig was fun to make, but a pain in the ass! Anyway, let's go over the elements:
-Helmet: custom molded from 2 action figure helmets (tie fighter pilot and clone trooper) The helmet also incorporated a TT radio as an antenna, a warhammer piece on the helmet, and several Republic customs decals. I used some shiny black testor's paint to make the visor more shiny. This is the only time I used Testor's paint, as it's too thick for my taste. The rest was painted with citadel.
-Body armor: A set of brickwarriors Gears of War RT armor, painted and decal'ed. Features hand painted Star wars droid language on shoulder straps (?). A warhammer piece is attached to the chest, giving the soldier more bulkiness. A republic customs decal was applied on the left shoulder and then painted over, to make the ACT (Advanced Combat Trooper) insignia.
-Jetpack: a retired(?) Brick Affliction jump pack, painted and decale'd. Republic customs decals are on the sides of it.
-Arms/hands: Republic customs decals cover most of the arm, with Brickforge Vambrances covering the other half. The left one even features the communication device! The hands have bits of Brickwarriors greaves.
-Body: Republic customs decals cover the body under the armor.
-Hip piece: BrickMOC Modern combat Rig hip piece
-Legs: Republic customs decals on top of brickwarriors modified greaves. Brickwarriors greaves scraps are also on the sides of the legs, which had to be sculpted on to give them more bulkiness. A TT pouch is on the left leg.
-Minigun: I knew this fig had to have a minigun, to suit his bulky build, so I found the Minigun that Republic Customs gave me long ago during his eBay days as a freebie. I;m not sure on who originally made it though.
Well that's it! Hope you guys enjoy! Hugely inspired by many of you!
