I love that, it kind of does the opposite of what you would normally expect where you take a plain trooper and try to make them more individualized to make a custom. Instead, you've taken to very individualized characters and made them "rank and file", and that totally makes sense that sometimes they would wear outfits like that when they aren't at the bar guzzling grape soda.

What character is the head originally from? Hiss tank automatically removed the image but it was from the post found on page 8.
