I have been working on some prototypes for a budget Red Shadow and Cobra Trooper troop builders.

I like your Cobra Trooper. The helmet looks a little awkward on the smaller Russian body though.

Thank you for the feedback. The helmet issue is something to keep in mind as better options become available.

Here was my attempt at making the Red Shadows Troopers. I had a ton of these figures due to the 50th Shippy being so great for customs.
I like your RS Trooper. Maybe you can do a head swap instead of the helmet

I have 10 of the Russian Trooper figs on the way, so I need 10 of whatever head I use. Actually, maybe the First Order Snow Trooper would work well? I don't really have alot of Joe stuff, but I have a reasonable amount of SW and Supers stuff. I can do an Oogoo mold and miliput cast rather easily.
What head did you use? I need more black trim on mine RS figs it seems. |

I like the Russian trooper in red. You considered getting any custom-cast Red Shadows helmets? They might be cost-prohibitive to buy in bulk (especially depending on where you need them shipped), but if you're up to duplicating your own parts, it might be worth getting at least one to try.
The FO Snowtrooper helmet is a little better size-wise than the current helmet, though you'll need to enlarge the socket a bit to get it onto the Russian's neck. (It doesn't want to go on un-modified and I'm not going to force mine on/off.) I don't think it's really the right type of look, though.

Alternatively, I have a dopey Vader helm that I can probably rework, the trouble with Vader is that he is Vader and it might not be possible to get away from that... Have to look at my available collection for possibilities. I do have a Radioactive Snakes Eyes plus a Cobra Helmet, I have seen that combo makes a good RS getup (quite a bit of casting, but I guess once a master is made it will be the same anyhow). I don't think I will ever be able to master the art of ball joint painting, luckily red and black Sharpies exist. Lesson learned today.
