Cobra Haz - T.A.T. (Hazardous - Tactical Assault Team) Officer continued..................
For the body armor, I used the chest and shoulder armor pieces from a 30th Anniversary Star Wars Clone Troop in training fatigues figure from 2007. I painted them flat black and then used a tiny drill bit and drilled the holes in them for simulated bullet holes and let the drill bit kind of hit the shoulder pieces to simulate battle damage scratches. Then after the holes were drilled, I painted the inside of the hole with flat black and then did the surrounding area around the holes in silver to simulate the armor breaking open and penetrated. The air breather mask is made from a 30th Anniversary Star Wars Clone Trooper Commander Vill helmet from the 2008 Target exclusive Order 66 set. I cut the lower section of the helmet out and painted it satin black with the red details and used rubber "tubes" from a screen window seal/gasket kit. I cut the rubber hoses to the desired length and glued them onto the mask. Then, glued the mask onto the troopers face. Once I put the rest of the figure back together, I glued the other ends of the hoses to the top of the body armor on the back where the ledge is after I dremeled out 2 small holes for them to go into. Using an Xacto knive, I sliced off the gun and holster on Tomax's right thigh and glued the holster from a H.I.S.S. driver's right thigh on inplace of it and put the gun in it. Then, I added a flesh wound on his right arm by using the dremel and taking a little bit of plastic off of his arm. Painted the new wound flesh color and then added the red for blood around the wound and down his leg and boots and on the stand too.
