Black Series Clone Commander Stone
With the release of the Clone Trooper Order 66
four pack from Entertainment Earth, I decided to make the Commanders to go with
these troopers. Since Commander Cody was already released by Hasbro, that left
me with three Commanders to create myself. I was able to acquire a set of solid
white Clones from an online dealer and these made a great base for the creation
of the custom Commanders.
First of the three custom clones is Commander for
the 442 Siege Battalion. This unit of clones was only seen in pre-production photos
and was not present in the movies and as such no commander for them was ever
shown or named. I designed the color pattern for this clone myself and named
him Commander Stone, his equipment is based on some of the other Clone
Commanders seen in the movie.
The binocular visor on his helmet is taken from a
Bandai Clone Trooper model kit, which I installed with a pivoting joint on
either side so it can be raised and lowered. The shoulder harness is custom
built from some soft plastic straps and metal buckles attached to the belt so
it will accommodate movement of his torso and shoulder. The shoulder plates are
made of pieces cut from a dvd case that I heated and shaped as needed.

Black Series Clone Commander Fox
The second figure for my Clone Commander project
is Commander Fox of the Coruscant Shock Troopers. This one was quite a bit more
involved than Commander Stone and required quite a bit of fabrication.
Paintwork for this one is the direct opposite of a basic Shock Trooper with the
red and white colors reversed. The visor for his helmet is a recast of the
Commander Cody visor added to a standard Phase 2 clone helmet. The antenna and
forehead scope are both custom sculpted and glued into place.
His waist cape and pistol holsters had to be made
completely from scratch. I created the cape from some pieces of thin black
leather, and attached them to the underside of his belt. The pistol holsters
are built from pieces of thin plastic card glued together and sealed with
sculpting putty. The holsters are attached to the belt by white strips of vinyl
and glued into place. The pistols themselves are 3D printed models purchased from
an online dealer.

Black Series Female Twi'lek Diplomat
When the Guardians of Evil 4-pack was released it
came with an Imperial Royal Guard, a First Order Praetorian, a Shadow Guard,
and a Republic Senate Guard. Since the Emperor Palpatine and Supreme Leader
Snoke already exist as figures, most of these guards had someone to look after.
The Senate Guards however were left standing by themselves due to a distinct
lack of Prequel era characters. I wanted to make a Republic Diplomat so the
Senate Guards would have someone to display with, and decided to make a Twi'lek
female since I happened to have all the right parts to build one.
This figure is loosely based on the Twi'lek named
Supi from Episode 2, with some variance required due to a lack of choices in
fabric for her dress. The body is made from a leftover Episode 4 Princess Leia
that I had lying around (from the awful monkey face version), and a head from
the Hera Syndulla figure. I removed Hera's goggles and sculped the headdress
and ear cones over her flight cap, then repainted the whole thing with a
brighter shade of green and different facial details. For the body only the
upper torso, shoulders, forearms and hands needed green pant.
The dress was the tricky part since I am not very
experienced with making cloth goods. I opted to assemble the clothing using
rubber cement rather than sewing since it would avoid the stitch lines and
allow me to piece the clothing together right onto her body for a better fit.
The burgandy dress is actually two parts, with the part over her breasts being
separate from the lower portion so she will retain the ability to articulate at
the torso joint without bunching up the dress. The outer robe was assembled
form three pieces for the body and once piece for each sleeve. The sleeves and
lapel are both lined with burgandy fabric.
