Being a huge Star Wars fan it was just a matter of time before I made my own version of the Clone trooper figure. This was a fun a fairly straight forward figure to create.  I used the 12" Clone Trooper doll from Episode III and let my imagination go crazy.  First I started by removing the head and replacing it with Jango Fetts.  I then carefully carved out the Trooper helmet so it could fit over Jango.  I then went to town on his armor.  I used sandpaper to scuff up the plastic.  Not only did this add detail in making his outfit look "battle worn", but also allowed the paint to adhere to an otherwise slick surface. I also used my X-Acto knife to cut small nicks and dents into the armor.  I then added the red strips and other detail, and with my knife and some sandpaper, scuffed up the red paint for that worn down look.  Once the detail was set, I continued  painting with  a wash of tan, then a wash of brown, then a final wash of black.  After the paint wash, I dry brushed a fine coat of tan and brown over the entire figure.  This gave the dirt and grime of his armor more dimension.
