Building the Bandai 1/12 Clone Trooper.

From the sands of Geonosis to the jungles of Felucia, join me as I build the 1/12 scale clone trooper from Bandai! It is such an amazing model! I highly recommend you paint yours up or make a custom trooper representing the various battalions of the Galactic Republic!
Hope you enjoy the video!

Incredible work, can you tell me what brand and color you have used on this kit?

[@Kbuildsmodels_24]

Thanks for checking my video!
All the paints used in this video are Vallejo.

Hey, man. I found this video doing some research on this kit before I pick it up. I was wondering what modifications you made for better articulation? May be a bit of a longshot to ask in youtube comments, but thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for looking at my video, I'm glad to give some advice! For the articulation, I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. Honestly, the elbows have a 90-degree bend but it is not enough in my opinion if you want to do some action poses, like say for example him looking down his rifle. His waist and torso twist well but some of it is hampered by his armor design and his neck could need some more range.
For the joints it uses polycaps, if you ever build a High-Grade version of Gundams, it uses the same system. The downside is that they wear off over time so like if you want to raise his arms up they will slowly sag down. But I fixed this by adding some paint on the polycaps just to give it something to hold so it won't wear down and keep his poses in the future.
It's more in the middle ground between a Black series of Star Wars figures and a model kit.
It's great as an army builder or a display piece but don't expect to so crazy poses with this one, I'm actually thinking on getting a 1/6 Clone Trooper for my display.
But nonetheless, it's a beautiful figure and model.
Crisp details everywhere and for beginners there's no need to paint so that's a plus.
But I painted mine as I found the stock white to "plastic" looking and shiny.
Also, it comes with a ton of accessories which is great:
Phase one
Phase two Helmet
Four wrists in gripping and fist positions.
Visor
DC15 rifle and Carbine
Figure base.
It's a great model kit to build while listening to Clone Wars lore and drinking Coffee on a Saturday evening.
Anyways I hope I was able to answer your question!

@@Kbuildsmodels_24 hey man, thanks for getting back to me about this. You explained everything pretty well, but I also am curious as to what you changed with the armor. I noticed that in the video, the thigh armor seemed less sharp and less large as the packaging showed.
Again, thank you for all the information!

[@Kbuildsmodels_24]

@BeefBN6 As for the armor, nothing was changed. It could be because I repainted the whole armor white and added chipping effects to make it look worn so it might look different from the box pictures. Anyways im glad I could help with your questions.
