Imperial Rocket Troopers Custom Paint / Jump Troopers

Image
Imperial Rocket Troopers Custom Paint / Jump Troopers Specialized Stormtroopers equipped with Jetpacks or Jump Packs. Another one of those where there are many different versions of the character from different games, shows, etc. I liked the Battlefront 2 version (legacy appearance). I swapped out the head of this originally boba fett mini figure and put on an imperial tie fighter pilot helmet from the newer 2015 sets which had the built-in mohawk. I tried the best I could to paint the "breaks" in the armor to make it look more like a stormtrooper. I hope it looks convincing enough. I really like these troopers.

Gar Saxon Imperial Super Commando Custom Paint

  Gar Saxon Imperial Super Commando Custom Paint I actually really like how this one turned out, even if it doesn't look exactly to Gar's armor. I like  how clean and neat I was able to make it. Painting anything on something so small, especially around white, can be really intimidating. Details like the red outline around the visor and also painting the red on the chest armor in a "v" shape was very difficult. Then trying to paint the black body suit sleeves along the arms without spilling onto the other parts. Gar Saxon Imperial Super Commando Mandalore Mandalorian

Mandalorian Super Commandos Custom Paint / Maul's Followers

Mandalorian Super Commandos / Maul's Followers Custom Paint I know there are different types of "Mandalorian Super Commandos" but I just love any opportunity to paint custom mandalorian armor. The pictures may not do this justice (I'll look into getting a better camera) Try turning up your screen's brightness settings for a better view. I tried to find as much places as I could to paint the "messy red" details onto the black armor. One example of the Super Commandos I found had a brown body suit so I decided to follow that one. I liked how it turned out because it created a nice contrast between four colors: black, red, brown and silver; and made it look more detailed.

Bo Katan Kryze Custom Paint

Bo Katan Kryze Custom Paint Again this was possible thanks to the more recent micro machine sets within the past few years that came with new character mini figures. I figured one of Katan's signature traits was her dual wielding blasters. It was too difficult for me to try paint the black night owl logo on top of the white painted parts of her helmet, and a mistake would've ruined the whole helmet. I hope it looks convincing enough.

Pre Vizsla Custom Paint

Image
Pre Vizsla Custom Paint This was a fun project. This was inspired by Vizsla's final armor. I tried the best I could to paint as much of the small details, like the "trident symbol" on his helmet, repainting the helmet visor, adding the "blue butterfly symbol" on the chest. I think I had to mix two colors to get the "dark-grey" color of the body suit. I knew it was best to use the Jango Fett figure for this because it had more armor plates that was needed to make it convincing and it had the perfect arm pose to be able to wield a darksaber. I made Vizsla's helmet canons by carefully slicing Jango's blaster in half, then just super gluing them onto the sides of the helmet and it was perfect. Pre Vizsla Mandalore Mandalorian Darksaber
