Imperial Army Trooper [Star Wars Legends]

    Well, what can I say? This is going to be the last imperial armed forces member for now, I still have some ideas for future bashes particularly a "Sea navy trooper" or a "Diver trooper". But for now I'll be switching over to the rebels (as a spy!) and making some figures for them (I have only 1 rebel guy) so far the ideas start with something simple like a early on planet only rebel and later on some more specialized guys. Well, off to show the imperial guy!

This bash is something I've tweaked around a lot, originally it started as an imperial army soldier (star wars solo version) but I kept digging around and digging and well I found the Imperial Army Trooper, they are legends of course and their original uniform is grey not green but the comic book Star Wars: Empire printed by Dark Horse comics showed them wearing green (they also showed saboteurs) and thus that's where it all started. Just how I did for the navy guys I did for this one, I wanted to keep the overall look of them but with a twist, at this moment I think that's common with all star wars figures I've posted.

The 501st has guidelines on how to dress like these guys, I used their database to get the look as close as possible. Some of the things I changed from theirs was the use of the plate carrier, the bag (WWII US gas mask bag), additional pouches (non molle) the harness which is a 21st century toys US army harness, the blaster (it's just an MG), the jumpsuit which is a GSG 9 jumpsuit painted green  and the helmet which has the indentations at the back due to my epoxy putty not mixing well.

Fun little bash I finished in a day, for now I'll go back to working on those darn rebels! Hopefully they will as fun as the imperials when it comes to putting them together, well see, if I never post any rebels it means the project is dead or that I went online and bought a ton of hasbro stormtrooper armor.
