Red Shadow Elite Trooper

Post by scoobydie »

This started out as a new disguise for The baron.
I`m moving towards an Elite Shadow trooper now.
Stealing.......
The body from Kraken
Arms from Lifeline
Legs from random Lanard figure
Boba fett`s head , hollowed and slightly remodelled.
Ironblood head, trimmed to fit helmet!
A few touch ups still needed on some joints, :shadow: but nearly there :)

Interesting concept. I would say it looks more like an :enemy: heavy weapons expert, something like Scrap Iron from Cobra.

My only suggestion for a slight change to this figure would be to use green stuff or something similar to close off the cheek areas on the sides of the helmet. Looks great from the front, but a bit odd seeing his moustache and goatee from the side.
Come have a look at some of my custom action figures:

I`m on the lookout for normal heads i.e Radio operators and divers for this, just plain faces.
I find the flesh colour a bit closer to the fact that there were normal people under the
Shadow uniforms.
Weapons expert is a good choice, see if I can find some more extra large weapons to add to his arsenal.

Heavy Weapon Shadow is a possibility
Found some fitting equipment for him (and a new head)

Oh hell yes. That works really well. Great work on that. Might have to borrow one or two ideas from that.

Big shout out to "Marauders inc " for the 2 other weapons though.
Still the best place to get these.
I`m beginning to like this more and more, anyone have a spare Boba? This guy needs a friend!

Cool !!, Paul likes to do pairs with his customs, would look a lot more authentic that way.

The helmet a similar shape to Boba`s?
I`ve had a look on ebay and the only major difference I can see is the stick bit on the front.
