Shadows Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Now that I've spent so much time on the Empire, it's the Rebel's turn and a good place to start is with the generic troops. My first two offerings are your basic Rebel Fleet Trooper and Pilot. To be honest, the official Fleet Trooper neckline is odd to me. Light grey? Why? So, I did one that way, and then a flesh and a yellow variation. After that, it only seemed natural to make one with a white shirt, also in flesh and yellow. It is something of a Han Solo look, and would be great as a smuggler, bounty hunter, or general civilian (or for use in other themes like City). I don't know if the Fleet Trooper costume was used in any other way in the movies, but if so, it should be easy to adjust colours to your liking and I'd love to hear of any alternate uses you might come up with. The pilot is simply the standard pilot that has been issued in orange and red. I know that there is some visual difference in the orange used at one point, going from what seems like normal orange to bright orange, but I stuck with the standard. I did include a white for water slide printing or customizing (or for a white flight suit, if you want) as well as some new colours that I think look nice: dark blue, dark green, and yellow. Here we go: Rebel Fleet Trooper: Original, Original w/Flesh neck, Original w/Yellow neck Rebel Fleet Trooper variation: White shirt w/Flesh neck, White shirt w/Yellow neck Rebel Pilot: Original Orange, Original Red, White Rebel Pilot: Dark Green, Dark Blue, Yellow Hoth Rebel: Original Tan As always, comments, requests and suggestions are certainly welcome. Matter of fact, I might be reaching the point where I try to decide if I should just keep doing these random torsos. Input on that would definitely be welcome as well. Quote
casewindu Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I think you should keep doing these random colours Imperialshadows as i like to see these official torsos in different colours instead of painting them myself, that can usually be a disaster! I really like the dark green and dark blue torsos they look really cool! ;-) Quote

Shadows Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks for the encouragement guys. I've added a generic Hoth Rebel to the first post. Currently, I'm using a spare one of these as a Hoth Luke, since LEGO has never seen fit to provide us with a proper one. There are no variations, as it isn't really the most widely used torso on Hoth. My next attempt will either be General Riekkan or Captain Antilles. Riekkan will be useful as other Hoth officers like Major Bren Derlin, while Captain Antilles is pretty much a one shot deal, but we do have the perfect helmet for him. Hmmm... Except both, eventually. Quote
kill will Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Wahoo! I *wub* The hoth trooper, but it costs so much on BL. Thanks for the great decals IS! *sweet* Quote
Asuka Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 A really great work, especially with the inclusion of these neat yellow neck ones! :-) Quote

Well, of course, even though I be relatively new here, I believe those to be impressive. Most Impressive. Also, Might I recommend front and/or back torso designs of the rebel forest troopers? It is no requirement, being a recommendation... Edited April 22, 2017 by LuxorV Please do not quote images from the same page. Thank you. Quote
