Ideal HT True Type Body for Endor Commando Custom?

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Hey, thanks a lot dude!

I'll look into those options for sure. I was hoping to have the figure completed by now, but not to be unfortunately.

Nice customs dude! I've still got my thread here bookmarked, & was pleasantly surprised to see a new post.

I remember when removing the boots from the SSC feet - I just yanked them off, no heat treatment or hot water.

I've basically done nothing since my initial mods to my figure, & I'm probably going to sell the lot now. That said, the SSC clothing & gear is really nicely done.

I just never got past the 'find a head that fits the helmet & mod the HT TT feet for the boots' stage.

They just need a head swap to a DID-equivalent head (and maybe a body upgrade if posing is important) and these figures are pretty much on-par with modern HT and SSC figs. The gear, clothing and weapons are still top notch. I did the head swap on my Commando and my imperial officer (black outfit) and they are awesome.

I like the Endor rebel commandos fine, I'm just not that fussed about having a figure of one anymore to be honest.

Another trick I used with my boots when I upgraded them to DiD bodies was just cutting the boots open down the back, putting the new foot in, and then gluing the seam back together. But I have done the remove the toes trick on other projects before.
I agree that Nik is definitely the best looking of the original trio.

Here's a shot of my original three. I did two more as well with different heads.

I like the weathering on these, Spudtrooper.


I can't bring myself to do it.

Thanks. I couldn't stand the lime green look of the clothes so I dyed then and repainted the camo.

I actaully used 3 different bodies for mine.

The sullutan is on a slim TT, the dark beard one on a TTM19 and the last one on a narrow shoulder body.

Wow...stunning customs.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Great work as always Elvis.

Ok.. maybe I'll hang onto my figure & just chip away at it when I can.

..& - Elvis posted in my thread.

Cool Endor troopers

Nice customs all...don't have room for the Endor Commandos, so I'll have to just enjoy looking at yours.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I didn't think beards were standard Imperial regulation.

Also, cool Mchael Madsen head for your third Endor guy there.

I totally see Madsen & not Hardy in that sculpt.

Great custom project / figure though, although I haven't seen the movie yet.
