My first custom PF: Shadow Scout Trooper

Hey gang, wanted to share this with you all. A friend of mine had a damaged Scout Trooper PF and asked me if I'd fix it and turn it into a Shadow Scout Trooper. I jumped at the chance to work on a PF figure! Here's what I did:

The damage. Weird indentations on the helmet top sides:



First, I stripped what I could off of the PF:


Then I puttied the indentations on the helmet up and sanded them flat:

I died the white body fabric a charcoal gray:


Then I painted up all the armor part's insides semi-gloss black:


After I masked off all the clothing, I also painted the helmet gloss black, with the boots in a semi-gloss black for that shiny leather look:



I then painted the outside of the armor parts gloss black:

Here's the end results. Enjoy!

nice work! cool custom.

Quite an imaginative custom !

One of the best customs I've seen. Came out really good, awesome.

Not often you get to be creative with a Premium Format figure.

THANKS guys!

Yeah, that's why I jumped at the chance to work on this PF. My customs are usually 3 3/4 and 12 inch figures, so this was a real joy to do!

Looks FANTASTIC, Awesome Job!!!

i may have to contact you to do some customs for me

Thats great i love it

as do I

Wow thats cool , a shadow Scout.

Thanks all!

Very brave of you, but a good result! Not to nit pick, but do they actually exist?

No, they don't in the films. A friend wanted it done so what could I say? Besides, it was FUN!

That came out great... very nice work man I like the small pops of red, really give him a bit of extra visual interest.
