I strongly wanted to put a modern take what a scout trooper would look like if he rode around on Earth in a near future Star Wars setting. Weird, I know. But I soon realized that I'm short of cast scout troop heads that would fit a Joe figure... So I looked to my trusty bag of Dusty fodder. (remember the POC figure? I swear I have like 5 of these Dusty's and thats a lot for me).
The POC Dusty alt head made the nearest match for a modern Imperial Scout Troop. Here goes it. Comments and critiques alike will be appreciated. Many a scout troops died needlessly on the moon of Yavin IV. tisk tisk. My favorite foot soldier of the Imperial legions is definitely the Scout Trooper. Most people favorite this troop because of his iconic head visor and simple looking gear. No he wouldn't mingle with the real Imperial Legion but I thought it would be suitable to show a comparison of the real Scout trooper figure with some Cobra fodder in the back.

Cool idea and a great choice of parts. For future reference, the best way to apply white paint is in a million light coats. It takes forever, but eventually you'll have a nice, smooth surface with the original base color completely covered up.

Scout Troopers are my favourite. Good job. I would never tackle that job just cause it's white...haha.
