No no no, you’re forgetting the whole continent of Europe, Australia (oceania?) and probably some South American countries. Huuuuuuuge amount of pressure. This HT - Sideshow partnership is not serving anyone well at this point.Who the hell goes "Yeah, 500 oughtta do it for the entireity of North America, good job. Get on it troops."
God did not give me enough
Ask someone to 3d-print and paint the armor. A hassle but cheaper than going commando with HT
I tried that with a Boss figure and the head came in under scaled compared to all my other clones. That is what is keeping me looking at this thing.
Some creators will scale parts better and some sellers will send replacement printed parts if they are decent sellers. In fact, if you need correctly scaled armor, Skylu3d used the HT clone as reference for his clone armor STL files so should be perfect fit provided you are using a correctly proportioned body (I heard that Worldbox does one that fits great in HT clone armor). You could ask Skylu for recommended print sellers (Syndicate customs for example). As for the painting I do not have much experience with painters so cannot recommend any but many of the people who sub to Skylu3D's patreon are sellers who also do finished figures w=so if you hopped into his discord perhaps you could find recommendations for best painters.
yes, they are great, just a tad expensive when a figure is in demand (just following market value I guess)
Yeah, I just need to get a replacement headsculpt. I can paint it myself, its more of a "I already spent so much money on this" that it is hard to justify more money. The whole situation as a mess, this was Scaletta's last real outing. If you have heard about that.

What did you give for him may I askAlright I was able to secure one from TBA’s eBay.
Thank you, collecting for me is in a hard place right now. I am making more money but it is harder to justify buying older releases as they go up in price. Both Hot Toys and Sideshow. I basically am just hoping most of the figures I want get re-released. Eventually I can make my own Umbran Arc Trooper.
Buy a cheap clone and an airbrush... I know that's not for everyone, but if you've got some patience you can learn to airbrush pretty effectively...
I don't believe I have heard the story, if you have a link I would like to read.
I have made customs, I am hoping this summer to get back into it.
I do not have a link anymore, but basically he stopped paying people and was taking money, This came to ahead with the Republic Commando Custom Set. I only received my figure because the Ukrainian artist received a few figures to paint before Scaletta vanished. This is a very shortened version of events.
dang. I thought scaletta was a trusted name in the hobby. Good news I guess is that with 3D printing folk can make such troopers at home now. Skylu3D, Budget3d, Mandalorian Business, Galactic Armory etc etc are all making 3D printable armor and weapons for all sorts of troopers including Republic Commandos. Heck, I am now making 3D printable files (just check my thread were I posted pics of them including General Veers and snowtrooper armor kits plus many blasters etc) so we no longer need rely on custom artists as much anymore. Hopefully as more jump into it we could see even more variety of custom figures in the hobby.
He was for a long time, but not anymore.
