First Order Stormtrooper: TR-8R

First figure of 2016!

 

This is the second figure in my series in which I am making a villain from each episode. The others in the series are:

 

Episode II: Attack of the Clones - Jango Fett

 

I wanted to make a First Order Stormtrooper since I saw the film opening week, and only got around to it now. It was originally planned to be a simple trooper, but upon my good friend Sander's suggestion, I made TR-8R, a character who has been very popular online lately.

 

The full story behind this traitor-hating trooper has been revealed on starwars.com - he is/was a member of Finn's squad and is FN-2199, AKA 'Nines', who is mentioned in the novel 'Before the Awakening' by Greg Rucka.

 

Anyways, to the figure now, all of the details on the body were sculpted with ProCreate/made from scratch with styrene, with exception of the helmet, which is a standard TLG helmet which had details added and the white repainted to match the armour. The traitor-killer (ie. the Z6 Riot Baton) was made using styrene and a Brickarms Halo SMG.

 

Also, painting and photographing flat white figures is a pain in the ass.

 

Hope you guys like the figure! :D
