[MOC] Clone Commander Cody, Phase II

[MrLee]

Hi all,

Coming off the back of my Clone Wars binge, I have got a little obsessed with Clone Troopers. And for me, none of them top Commander Cody, and his dynamic with General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I decided I wanted to add him to my Lego 212th collection, in his Phase II gear. Scouting eBay it was all overpriced custom prints and dodgy customs.

Apologies for the low res photos. I don't have my decent camera with me at the mo.

It's all official Lego parts, no Custom printed etc.

• 7959 Cody Torso
  
• 75001 Republic Trooper Legs & Arms
  
• 75036 Utapau Troopers Head & Helmet
  
• Standard Visor
  

Livened it up with a dab of Vallejo 70.911 (Light Orange) which colour matched perfectly.

Really happy how this turned out, so wanted to share the results in case anyone else wanted to give it a shot ^_^

(Apologies if there is a thread that this post should go in)

Looks nice!

Looks great! That orange paint is a perfect match. Did you varnish it at all?

[MrLee]

Thanks guys.

@Hawkman I didn't varnish it, because the paint application is minimal. It's really only the visor that is likely to rub. I think I'm gonna paint another visor though, because I didn't prime this one so the paint is a bit lumpy, and spoils the look when you're right up close. The visor is quite glossy so the acrylic wasn't sticking as good as it should.

Cool. Also I have a phase 2 commander Cody and I used a old phase 2 Cody action figures helmet which is really cool
