"ROGUE ONE" REBEL FLEET TROOPER ARMY BUILD

Sometime last year, eBay seller Tunghori was selling the Vintage Collection's Rebel Fleet Trooper in bulk and we jumped at the chance to diversify our Rebel brigade by doing some head swaps to swell our ranks. Most of the heads were just spares we had floating around in a container of random noggins from G.I. Joe, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean action figures.  It was a quick and easy project that had a huge payoff.  Since these troopers feature so heavily in the film Rogue One, we figured that this would be a great time to show you all the possibilities for enhancing your home displays.  It was also a cool opportunity to show off our "Tantive IV Passageway" diorama made by Star Wars customizer, Boutros77.

Wouldn't it be lovely if Hasbro brought back the army building packs and issued us one of these sets to celebrate both Rogue One and the 40th anniversary of A New Hope?  We think army building sets of Rebel Fleet Troopers would fly off the shelves.

Army Building


Before we started painting and making customs, we pretended rebels we had doubles of or triples of were twins or triplets. Once Dad had some confidence after finishing Arianna and her Jedi starfighter, he broke out his paints once more and diversified my troops.



POTF2 REBEL FLEET TROOPERS

Dad started with a standard POTF2 Rebel Fleet Trooper.

He then took the other three I had and gave me a unique group of rebels to diversify my play.

The dirty old man.

Crazy mustache man.

And Goldilocks.




POTF 2 ENDOR REBEL TROOPER


For the Endor Rebel Soldier, Dad just added a beard and now I didn't have to say that they were twins any longer.

For our next army building project, we tackled Rahm Kota's Militia Elite. We only had two to work with besides the original, but we had fun with these two, nonetheless.

SENATE GUARDS

We had a two Captain Argyus figures laying around because someone messed up an order and threw him in to smooth things over. Dad grabbed some black paint and now I have two Senate Guards.
