Wanted to share a couple photos of a recently finished passion project: my take on a Storm Commando/Shadow Scout from the Star Wars EU. The base figure for this guy is an SSC Biker Scout, blacked-out, modded slightly, and kitted up with a mix of modern military and Star Wars parts. Joel Haase (@joel.haase.3 on Insta) performed all of the paint and mod work, and I handled all of the gear sourcing and construction. Joel did an exceptional job, and I certainly would not have completed this project without his help.

With this project, I wanted to explore an intersection between modern military and Star Wars -- or, more specifically, what a Call-of-Duty-ified Star Wars figure might look like. One of the key design challenges I faced was selecting gear that fit the special forces aesthetic while still keeping the Star Wars feel -- basically, I didn't want to make a Star Wars-themed airsoft loadout (like the Galac-Tac stuff). Tough line to straddle, but I'm satisfied with the outcome.

Breakdown:

Head/Shoulders:
Helmet (with skull war paint and modded face plate, which flips up to reveal a headsculpt)
Commander Cody-style Antenna (3D printed by Joel)
Ammo Pouch -- Hot Toys

Chest/Wrist:
Death Trooper Chest Rig -- Hot Toys
Harness -- Art Figures

• Bolt cutters -- Soldier Story
• Flexcuffs -- Easy and Simple
• Bump helmet w/goggles -- Soldier Story
• Strobe light -- DAM Toys
• GL-06 Grenade Launcher w/ Aimpoint, tac-light, foregrip, and sling -- DAM Toys

GPS -- Hot Toys
Gauntlet -- Hot Toys
Gloved Hands -- SSC

Waist:
Battle Belt

• Drop-leg pistol holster -- Soldier Story
• Drop-leg triple magazine holder -- Art Figures
• Retention Lanyard -- Easy and Simple
• Pistol mag holder -- DAM Toys
• Dump pouch -- Soldier Story
• SOG Tomahawk --Soldier Story
• Flashlight -- DAM Toys

Weapons;
SIG LVAW -- Easy and Simple (Really love this weapon. Think it could pass as a blaster rifle with the integrated suppressor.)

• LPVO -- Easy and Simple
• Iron sights -- DAM Toys
• Offset mount and red dot -- Easy and Simple
• Tac-light -- Soldier Story
• Handstop -- Easy and Simple
• Two-point sling and mounts -- Easy and Simple

G17 -- DAM Toys (Probably better, more sci-fi-looking sidearms out there than this, but I really dig the look of a fully-equipped Glock. Think Disney based the design of the First Order Stormtrooper pistols on the Glocks, so I suppose it's not so implausible.)

• Tac-light -- DAM Toys
• Retention Lanyard -- Soldier Story/DAM Toys

Trophy Lightsaber -- SSC

Here's a picture with another Commando that I did (with help from Joel), to demonstrate the visor functionality:

Overall, a fun project to do. Thanks for looking!

boots?

Stock ones that came with the figure. We (Joel) cut the pistol holster off of the right boot and mounted a knife in its place.
