Of all the commando decals I've seen out there, I haven't seen any that are accurate to the armor the commandos wore during the clone wars (TV series). So I made this torso template to look like the ones seen on the Delta Squad in that one episode back in Season 3. I personally love the way it turned out, it look accurate to the SW: CW armor in my eyes. The arm template also needs a makeover, I thought it looked okay but it turned out to be butt-ugly. I'll design that soon. The legs also got the high-res redesign, but the sealant kinda distorted the decals a bit. Aside from that, I'm happy with the way this custom turned out.
Under cover of darkness, a unit of British commandos prepares to disembark from an American submarine and go ashore to wreak mayhem and havoc on a part of Nazi-occupied Europe.
Why are they disembarking from an American submarine? Because it's my Lego world, and I can do that. And mostly because I couldn't come up with any good British sailor figures. I even had Winston Churchill there to observe before I figured that was just a little too overboard.
Just a small vignette to show off assorted British torsos. I will rebuild the deck gun when I get a chance.

11-5733, Lockheed MC-130J Commando II of the 67th SOS spent the afternoon in the circuit.
Located near Spean Bridge, Lochaber, Scotland, this memorial is dedicated to the men of the original Commando forces raised during World War II. The monument overlooks the training areas established in 1942 including Ben Nevis and Aonach Mor.
Paodok'Draba'Takat, full name Paodok'Draba'Takat Sap'De'Rekti Nik'Linke'Ti' Ki'Vef'Nik'NeSevef'Li'Kek, but most commonly known as Pao, was a male Drabatan who served as a commando in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War, and took part in the Battle of Scarif.Prior to the Battle of Scarif, Corporal Pao carried out a demolitions job on Foerost where he took out a communications tower similar to the one on Scarif. He was killed during the Battle of Scarif, along with the rest of Rogue One.
Another pretty good sculpt and paint job stymied by lack of articulation that makes fighting poses almost impossible. I'm not asking for much - I don't need super articulation, just a couple of elbow joints. Even swivel joints would be enough, just so that action figures can look like they're in action.
'Some highly decorated soldiers in the Red Army who've suffered debilitating mutilation can end up awakening to find themselves interred in robotic shells. Prosthetic Commandos are primarily used as bodyguards for dignitaries and in perimeter defense at missile silos located near the border or in high risk locales. They're a particularly favoured ceremonial figurehead in the Warsaw Pact's elaborate military parades. '

This is my Lego version of Keith Thompson's awesome 'Prosthetic Commando', my favourite drawing from his collection. See the original one here.
Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
This Droid Commando was created by Wuzzupbob. Right now this is my crown jewel as I had previously worked hard to see this figure come to fruition and Wuzzy did such a great job.
The white is product left over and does wash off but I thought it added some contrast on the figure. The legs and arms move and are a pin mechanism.
As far as offering this figure, I believe Wuzzy is looking into injection to get a fairer price and better product. Most likley in the new year. He is also working on some other SW items that will rival other well known vendors. I am hoping to work with him on a few. :)
The stand is made by woody. :)

I never wish such a result.
What is wrong point? tell me whatever you think.
A re-visit to the Commando Memorial in Spean Bridge - last visited in 2008
Spean Bridge Commando Memorial, Spean Bridge, Scotland
The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
In 1949, the sculptor Scott Sutherland won a competition open to all Scottish sculptors for the commission, The Commando Memorial. Sutherland's design won first prize of £200. The base of the bronze statue is inscribed with the date of 1951. The sculpture was cast in the H.H Martyn and Company's foundry. The memorial was officially unveiled by the Queen Mother on 27 September 1952. The monument was first designated as a listed structure on 5 October 1971, and was upgraded to a Category A listing on 15 August 1996. On 18 November 1993 a further plaque was added to mark the Freedom of Lochaber being given to the Commando Association. On 27 March 2010 a 2 miles (3.2 km) war memorial path was opened connecting two local war memorials, the Commando Memorial, and the former High Bridge built by General Wade, where the first shots were fired in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 in the Highbridge Skirmish [information: Wikipedia ]

Fancied some drybrushing and it came out pretty well! Sadly, the pic begs to differ :( Also because of this pic (www.flickr.com/photos/kalcustoms/8946680812/) so this is kind of for you, KalSkirata ;)
Comments and favourites are always much appreciated ;)
Enjoy!

Never forget to check the ceiling when clearing a room. A rookie mistake this Cobra Trooper won’t make a second time.
100% Painted
Took me a little over an hour to paint all those tally marks on the helmet.
If you favorite, please comment.
MC-130J Commando II, 12-5755, from the 415th SOS at Kirtland AFB New Mexico sitting alone on the ramp ahead of Thunder Over Michigan.
I was playing Republic Commando this morning and realized that the Gunship Doors in RC are infinitely cooler than the ones in the movies.
I'm still working out the kinks, but this is more or less what I'm going for.
Ok, when I said I was going to take a break what I really meant was I need some new material and some new shots to work on. Thought I'd head over to Roy Bridge today and sure enough, the weather was dull, grey and promised nothing. A couple of half hearted dismal shots of Loch Ness and a walk around Inverroy and headed home about half three with the light rapidly fading. Just outside of Spean Bridge a glance over to the left and the sun gave us a fleeting show of magic! Just before this I'd commented how it really hadn't been worth the journey...

My long awaited BF order arrived today, so I could finally make this fig.
The Royal Marines were formed in the mid 1700s as an infantry branch of the British Navy. Nowadays, they are an elite and highly specialised light infantry unit of commandos who deploy regularly alongside the British Army. The Royal Marines are one of the most elite regiments in the British Armed Forces, on par with the Parachute Regiment and just below the SAS and SBS.
