Republic Commando Boss
After a long time I finished a new custom :( Please tell me what you think of it :)
Decals by AndrewVxtc
Well, my football season ended prematurely, leading to more free time. With my ample time, I realized how distant from the hobby I was. So to make up for spare time, I did something I have always wanted to do, make my own Commando. I bought Star Wars: Republic Commando back in the summer, and I instantly fell in love with the game. This, and the release of Star Wars Battlefront II, revived the drive of wanting to dig out the tools and work with my parts. Also, I just realized that I missed my 7 year anniversary, which has also lead me on a trip down memory lane. I am more than grateful for the relationships and fun I have had on this website, and I hope that this will continue. Anyways, I'm done with the personal stuff, on to the figure.
The figure I have created is based off the basic Republic Commando from the Star Wars Universe. His name and color scheme are based off of my High School Football teams colors, maroon and white. The helmet and backpack were base commando parts from Clone Army Customs. The chest piece, knee pads, shoulder pads, and pouches are made from ProCreate. The crotch and ab pieces are cut from the Spartan Armor from BrickForge. I painted this myself with Apple Barrel and Citadel Paints.
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.
A commando droid shield like the one in the "Citadel" Arc. It has another sideways handle similar to the LEGO Knights shields so the droids can also hold it with their sideways hands.
Brought a comic book character from my childhood into my collection. The comic wasn’t lengthy or very in depth, but I always loved the art style and design of the commandos.
Armor is from custombrickbuilder . Go support him while you can! Blaster is from clonearmycustoms. I used citadel and Apple barrel paints.
The enforced lock down has its benefits. In this case some time spent trawling through my photo archive.
This particular shot depicts dads 1976 Norton Commando which had been posed by the front lawn at our then long term family home. Alas the bike and home have since acquired new owners.
I used to like riding this bike. I suppose with a 1976 build date and 850cc's it was almost modern compared with the older bikes in dads stable. It still had elements of old fashioned pedigree, but had modern functionality such as its electric ignition, which sometimes worked. Otherwise the kickstart option was used. If I recall correctly my main criticism was the high centre of gravity and a high seat. In fact I once fell off it whilst getting off to park it in the Peak District. Like a fool I had parked sideways on a gradient and didn't realise quite how far down my for would need to go to reach terra firma.
Well, I decided to pop this Arealight helmet on one of my WIP figures and this was the result. C&C appreciated.
A.K.A Bosigran Ridge, the ridge was used to train commando soldiers in rock climbing in the years of 1940-1945.
I finally finished Zondkar Commando with many varieties of weapons and equipment , worth around 10 Commando name , I took that piece that covered the front of the pelvis and I colored the head with black stripes .
Just some combos I threw together.
This pic makes everything look a bit messy. Everything looks a lot better IRL.
In, fact I really like this guy, so he may be coming to BW with me.
Inspired by Detroitika and RILEYWILK.
Comment if you fave.

So once I saw Gregor at first, my first reaction was to make him, but since theres not helmet available, I decided to get my buddy Andrew to do it! I must say it was an excellent choice as I love him! Andrew did some incredible decal work that I'm very pleased with!
Upon reviewing my old commando template, I figured it was inaccurate and outdated. I remade the leg, arm, and helmet templates to better match the clone wars commandos seen on the show.
Please check out the alternative views to see the details put into it! If you fave, comment too please. Thanks to Arealight for the amazing backpack and helmet!
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 ]
RAF Mildenhall
11-5733, Lockheed MC-130J Commando II of the 67th SOS spent the afternoon in the circuit.
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.
The Commando Monument just north of Spean Bridge commemorating the service and sacrifice given by thousands of Allied troops during the Second World War. 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 Mor.
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.

What a beautiful view i shared with another photographer

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. :)
