sounds great dorgs. planning on using it for some dengar armor. his armors pretty beat up so it should work out just fine :)
 
Here's my take on the Hoth Trooper . This was one of the first bashes I did , but I think it still looks o.k . I intend to get round to replacing the boots at some point , but I'll probably wait until I pick up another as I ultimately want to put together a " fire-team".

Cheap'n cheerful this one ( that's the beauty of the Hasbro figure ) , all I did was swap over the body ( to a D.M.L ) , replaced the hands/gauntlets (from a Sideshow Civil War figure with the detail from the Hasbro gloves added ) , replaced all the elastic on the armour with thicker elastic and added a little weathering and a gloss coat for the armour . The weapon is a D.M.L MG 34 with an added sight from the bits box . :wink1:
 
@Thundergod:
Why did you choose DML? Do you think a ACI Toys: Figure Set A body would do the same? Don't really wanna go for SS bodies, there are said to be wacky.

@Big Guy:
Pics, please, Senor!

I chose DML purely because I had a few hanging around . ACI Toys or TTL would be my choice if I did the figure now .:wink1:
 
Hey guys those are some cool snowtroopers. Hasbro did a pretty good job on this guy. Did you guys us the Koto armor?

I just got a hold of a 2 12" Speeder bikes and I decided to make a Hoth pPatrol Speeder with Scout. As far as I know there is only one reference pic of the speeder. So it looks like I need to,

#1 Repaint the Speeder some kind of white
#2 Put a Scout helmet on the Snowtrooper
#3 Put a Scout backpack on the Snowtrooper
#4 Put the Snowtroopers Backpack on the back of the speeder and add a hose.


Any idea which helmet I should use for the Scout helmet? Koto's maybe? Anyone have a cast of that?
 
Thanks. I believe the only things that change is the helmet & backpack swap and the kama comes off. Other than that he's 100% Snowtrooper.

The only Tomy helmet I can find is one on e-bay for $35. Seems high.
 
dh4 thanks for posting the 1/6 custom HOTH (cold weather) biker scout, never seen a 1/6th bversion of this IMP.

OT Freak I also plan on attempting this figure sometime.

Although a smidgeon large , I have no problem with the hasbro helmet . I still think the Tomy , though well detailed , looks a lttle small when on a 1/6 body . Check out reference of the 1/1 scout . Pretty big, noggin wise ! :wink1:
 
Any ideas on new Snow Boots? I looked on e-bay and there's nothing.

As for the helmet I'm leaning towards the Tomy. Not that I want to buy one for $35, but the Hasbro one looks kind of cartoony.
 
No idea on boots. I am reworking my Hoth troopers and am trying to get the boots figured out. Im curious to see what you come up with.

I also would go with the Tomy helmet. To me, the Hasbro one is too big and not detailed enough. They are expensive, but I feel worth it.
