Criando meus próprios corpos "True-Type"

Olá pessoal!
Desde que comecei a construir meus clonetroopers,uns dos maiores problemas que tenho tido é com os corpos "True-Types"usados como base para a customização de figuras de ação.A maioria deles simplesmente não cabem dentro das armaduras dos Clonetroopers,e isso tem atrasado todo o meu processo de criação.
Sendo assim,não tive outra opção a não ser parar por um tempo a construção
dos Troopers e tentar resolver esse dilema de outra maneira.
Resolvi projetar meus próprios corpos para customizar,atendendo assim minhas
necessidades de tamanho,escala e movimento.
Esta não foi a primeira versão.Na verdade,há mais ou memos dois anos atrás,eu já havia tentado realizar essa façanha antes de construir os Stormtroopers,mas sem sucesso.
A primeira versão era totalmente incapaz de ficar de pé!!
As juntas também eram muito frágeis.
Então resolvi abandonar o projeto.
Passado os anos e usando o que aprendi nesse meio tempo,resolvi reativar o projeto.
E finalmente consegui construir um protótipo funcional.Assim espero!!
A seguir, algumas fotos da versão 2.0 do meu "True-Type Body".
Até mais.

Hi,
Since that I started to build my own Clonetroopers,one of my biggest problems is about using the "True-Type" bodies to customize my action figures.
The most of them simply doesn't fit good inside de Clonetroopers armor,and that has been delaying the whole process of creation.
So, I decide to engineer my own bodies to customize,attending my necessities of size, scale and movement.
But,this is was not the first version.In fact,a two years ago,I've been tried to create my owm bodies before building the Stormtroopers but without success.
The first version was totally unable of standing up!!
The joints were very fragile too.
Then I decided to leave the project.
After two years,using what I learnt in this half time, I resolved to reactivate the project.
And finally I could make a functional prototype.I hope so!!!
Next,some pictures of the 2.0 version of my own "Tru-Type body".

  2. Joshua,
    I really would like to post always, but my work takes all my time.I still have a lot of customs to photograph and post,but I have no foresight of when I will be able to do that.

    A 1:1 scale Stormtrooper????Oh God!!That´s my dream!!
    One day,I still will buy one for me!
    Painting using the scheme of Stormtrooper Commander will be great!!I never see in the internet a cosplay painted like that.
    Painted like Shadow Stormtrooper has a lot!!
    If you need detailed pictures of the scheme of sketch and colour,please tell me and I take more pix of my Stormtrooper Commander and send to you by e-mail :)
