Custom Star Wars Heavy Gunner Clone Trooper by jbronson713

The new Star Wars movies, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, reinvigorated fans and gave us a reason to hit the toys stores again. With Hasbro producing gaggles of clones, the hunt was on for Army Building enthusiasts. Attack of the Clones introduced us to the origins of the Stormtroopers and Regenge of the Sith opened the door wide open for customizers to create their own special forces armies.

jbronson713 brings us his Star Wars Heavy Gunner Custom Clone Trooper. This custom is unlike anything I have seen before. Here are some details about this Heavy Gunner:

  • Totally original repaint scheme, protected with multiple coats of varnish
  • Unique helmet repaint with flip-down scope

  • Custom crafted shoulder Pauldron with layered shoulder armor

  • Custom crafted removable plasma pack with conduit tubing for plasma delivery

  • New knee pads and right hip holster for tactical pistol

  • Gatling Mini-Gun with Dura- and Transpari- Steel Shielding

  • Custom crafted layered Tactical Display, which hooks into the pack on his back

  • Pulse Rifle

  • Tactical Pistol
The Heavy Gunner's bio is as follows:
Dextyrr Dextyrr set to life in search of bigger game. His stint with the
Army of the Republic was destined by birth, being born of the cloning vats
on Kamino, but his rigorous training and discipline could not wipe from
his mind the lust for bringing down the mammoth creatures from his dreams.
Somehow, Dextyrr had inherited "memories" embedded in the genetic coding
he received from his progenitor - Jango Fett. It seems that Fett had had many
brushes with large beasts during his tenure as a bounty hunter.


Dextyrr, caught by his desire to hunt, elected to train specifically with 'the
big guns' - the only tools he imagined could stand a chance of dropping 12 tons
of charging flesh and bone. His resultant skills proved useful to the Army in
many battles.
