This was my son's first custom, done when he was 4 years old. He had been asking for weeks to do his own custom, so I let him use an extra POTF2 Stormtrooper. I don't particularly like those figures, so I had no use for it anyway and I thought it would be a good one for him to practice on. However, I kind of like how it turned out once he was finished.
I had to help him a little, but for the most part he did it on his own. He designed the character and the color scheme, thought of the name, and came up with his story. He also painted the torso, head, arms, and legs by himself. I took the figure apart to make it easier to paint, so he wouldn't have to worry about staying in the lines. The only parts I painted were the black accents on the helmet and the blue eyes. I also applied the dull coat lacquer because I didn't want him inhaling the toxic fumes. I applied a dull coat over the whole figure, and then gloss coat just over the eyes.
Commander Storm Kode was stationed on the Death Star, and was in charge of an elite group of stormtroopers that specialized in deep space combat. They were sent on particularly dangerous missions in the far reaches of space, far away from most civilized worlds.
