Building the Utapau Clone Trooper (212th Attack Battalion)

[@TheBenjaman]

Probably one of the most badass clone trooper designs. Not like they aren't badass already, just the helmet with all the extra gear is just so great! Wonderful custom perfectly capturing the source material as always! cant wait to see what you make next.

[@modelchili]

Cheers man, yeah it's always been one of my favourite designs!

[@Just_Some_K]

Airborne helmets are pretty neat. I much prefer the BARC helmets that are used, figure that'd be a nice step up for a model like this.

[@SKiII_1ssue]

ARF resembles it

[@vule0104]

[@novaprime4831]

Watching this guy customize is like watching Bob Ross paint.

[@modelchili]

I need to start beating the devil out of it.

[@deltalead4708]

It really do be like that though

[@Frankypoo4]

He sounds a lot like the clones from episode three

[@timeflies20gaming64]

I’m happy I’m not the only one that notices that he sounds just like a clone

[@modelchili]

So I've heard :p

[@Tempoary_Replacement]

what if he is...DUN DUN DUNNNNN but he really does lol

[@arctrooperblitz8914]

Its a 7th sky corp they was whit commander cody cause the 7th sky corp and the 212attack batallions was allied and they was on utapau._.

[@kadesoutherland3648]

The tamora Morrison version of the clone voice

[@besttimes3248]

I'm glad you changed your mind on the straps. Very nice job.

[@modelchili]

Thanks! Yeah I think I went in with action figures in mind, where the material seems to outweigh the scale, but it just didn't look good.

[@swisherswish1072]

Wow, this is a whole different figure now! 👍🏻

[@modelchili]

Yeah I love how modifiable they are!

[@orthoff123]

Man... you are an absolut MASTER & an ARTIST! With your work you bring so much joy in my life! I love to watch your videos!

[@jo1iet]

“Not that I wear much of that myself” Can confirm, never seen you in make up

[@timelord1473]

I've genuinally used this to get to sleep. His voice is so calming

[@christopherfowler3269]

He looks awesome! But I recommend using ribbon for straps instead of tape. It looks a lot better and adds to the dynamic movement of the figure.

[@irongames6825]

This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on KZbin this is by far something interesting to watch

[@modelchili]

Why thank you!

[@henryibarra9476]

Another great job. Love the bag you made. Really makes it pop.

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@dannyridley7524]

Videos are amazing along with your skills chillier, another fantastic trooper

[@modelchili]

Cheers!

[@fujifilm5127]

It looks fantastic! The orange really looks good. My only criticism is for the black scuffs use a smaller brush. Other than that, the toothpick weathering is a really cool idea

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@graysonchen1824]

Would you make a purge trooper version?

[@vianneyferrand2893]

That's absolutely great! I love modelism (for warplanes) and Star Wars, so here I'm served !

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@batja2719]

after years of searching i think i finally found my hobby.

[@modelchili]

Nice!

[@Vegided]

First time ever watching one of your vids. I loved it! Liked and subscribed!

[@modelchili]

Thank you!

[@GravitWry]

Wow I just sat here for 30minutes watching this and it oddly feels satisfying

[@cabnbeeschurgr]

Ikr this is so relaxing to watch

[@maxbrandt6]

Excellent work, your display shelf must be looking like a military museum of the Clone Wars by now!!

[@modelchili]

lol almost!

[@bjrnhalfhand2258]

Really enjoying these clone trooper vids.

[@youngstormtrooper6703]

crazy bc this guy sounds like a clone. love it

[@Oliver-qr6ow]

Masterpiece, your so good at this its mindblowing

[@LocktOnArt]

I 've been using masking tape as straps on tanks since the early 2000's and it's held up great!

[@modelchili]

Well I probably got the idea from you then! 😁

[@Echo-il3td]

This is awesome dude

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@janver7740]

Really nice video !

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@opr8r655]

This is amazing!

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@malcom6010]

For of you without the tools and paints that he uses, the same type of weathering can be achieved if you leave the figure with a child for about a week. Actually though, this looks amazing, great job!

[@jonyt3hchunk]

He probably has enough models to make an entire scene from a movie. Very nice!

[@modelchili]

lol almost! Commander Cody is the dream...

[@AvengerII]

@@modelchili You mean, "Commando Cody!" Oh, the homage for that one was so obvious!

[@AvengerII]

DID they have any clones with "Rocketeer" jet packs?

[@jonyt3hchunk]

AvengerII if I’m correct the only jet pack they used were the ones that Rex and wolffe used on Felucia. Other wise there might be others but I’m not sure what you mean by “rocketeer”

[@AvengerII]

@@jonyt3hchunk Commander Cody got his name from an old serial called "Commando Cody, Sky Marshal of the Universe." A ton of George Lucas's ideas for Star Wars came from old serials like that one and the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon serials. The rocketpack/jet pack is referring to the fact that COMMANDO Cody flew around with the aid of a rocketpack. The late Dave Stevens who created The ROCKETEER character, admitted his comic was based on Commando Cody and the other Rocketman serials. Disney optioned The Rocketeet and made a live-action film from it that debuted in 1991. Disney has been talking about a remake of that film while they're on this remake crazy (ie, Disney HAS NO NEW IDEAS). The connection between the clone troooper Cody and Commando Cody would have been even more obvious if Lucas had that clone trooper be a SKY trooper with his own jetpack!

[@AWACS_Snowblind]

Awesome work, man. Loved the look of these guys when I was real young, I hope they add the Airborne skins to the new Battlefront

[@Rosey-WCUE]

I agree

[@modelchili]

Cheers!

[@Martini_Mcfly]

Not a clone fan, but LOVE your videos! I also really like you're honest and show the mistakes and corrective actions. Fantastic!

[@modelchili]

Thank you!

[@Kharn121]

Awesome work dude. Might I recommend looking into kneadtite epoxy putty which is the same stuff(just end up green vs yellow). You might be able to get it quite a bit cheaper

[@modelchili]

Cheers!

[@anunnaki8964]

I like the background music and + your voice I fall asleep lol

[@lindamuvic8110]

I love Bondi kits, did a clone trooper build, but his backstory was he had a pelvic wound. So anyways made some diapers for the figure, since he was now incontinent, looked really great after some dirtying up, and urine stain on his armour.

[@adamkitbashes8067]

Thank you for the video!! I really hope I can do this project in mid - late 2020

[@modelchili]

Thanks for watching!

[@superdupergaming7831]

You should create your own never before seen clone

[@temporalclonecaptain219]

Damn this looks like good stuff here ........i needs to find some clone figures so I can get them for a fine addition to my collection

[@gonkdroid5261]

I don’t want to sound rude but for some reason when you talk all that went through my mind was, this person actually sounds like the clone troopers from the movies. Sorry if this turns out like a spam message, I just had to get it out of my head. Aside from that amazing work, better than I could ever do.

[@modelchili]

lol I get that comment almost every other day. It's just a kiwi accent really.

[@gonkdroid5261]

ModelChili Scale Models , I’ll note that next time I watch a video made by you. I wonder how well you would be if you dubbed the clone troopers from episode III, might actually be better than the original voice actor.

[@modelchili]

No one will ever top the great Tem Morrison.

[@scharnhorst97]

excelent job congratulations

[@trumpisacrybabydictatornar914]

The coolest thing about these Bandai 1/12 kits is that the parts from any of their trooper kits will fit on others for example I have the 1/12 speeder bike trooper & the 1/12 C-3P0 the arms & head from c3p0 fit on my bike trooper & vice versa but all the parts from all the trooper kits are interchangeable between them selves this give you an unbelievable variety of customizations for a specialized trooper of your very own .. Only with Bandai can you do this.

[@klipsfilmsmelbourne]

what if you put space battleship yamato crew uniform markings on clone armor

[@blasterman.obi-shinobi]

If you want straps that actually look like a fabric... try using Lego micro canvas. Very thin, with a nice weave to it. I've been using it for years on 1/18th customs. Paint for buckels? Not to knock your work, but damn. I'm used to making buckels, adjusters,etc from sheet styrene for 1/18th gear and weapon slings. No excuse on a 6 inch figure. Either way, nice work overall.

[@modelchili]

Where would you find Lego fabric big and cheap enough for that? I'm not making excuses for anything, but if I did then it's just because I don't have the skill level and/or patience to go that far! But good on you though, you must have some impressive looking stuff.

[@blasterman.obi-shinobi]

@@modelchili bricklink.com is where I used to get full Lego sails from their pirates line. Check it out. And I was in fact, well known in the star wars and joe customizing communities, for being rather innovative and level of detail. Google "obi-shinobi customs" for later joe related works. I went by "blasterman" before that, on sites like rebelscum. One of my most famous, and most copied material and technique wise... was a 1/18th version of the 1st 12in sideshow snake-eyes.

[@MartasZLA]

Wow man I want your skill! Amazing job!

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@RavenChopper]

Love it! Your tips are so helpful!

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@MrRbabs]

Wouldn't it have been better to paint the straps for the cartridge? Or use styrene to make them? I'm just curious because I feel like the tape would eventually start to peel away.. I'd also like to see more of your top-coating solutions.. Why not protect all of that paint?

[@modelchili]

It's been over two years since I used masking tape on Gree, it hasn't diminished yet. I always put clear coats on models, did I miss that step in this video?

[@MrRbabs]

@@modelchili I didn't see a clear coat part but I could be wrong cause I was tabbing windows while watching. Impressive that the tape lasts that long though!

[@jessedunn1728]

Absolutely amazing! :)

[@GurtMcDirt]

Really cool. Would love to see it posed better.

[@j-lod523]

You actually sound like a clone. Was not expecting that.

[@modelchili]

I'm just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe.

[@Donor-yp4mu]

Could you please make a PURGE TROOPER from Star Wars Jedi fallen order and the Darth Vader comics. They have clone airborne helmets, clone armour, black, puldron, skirt and electro staffs and clone blasters

[@modelchili]

Cool idea, but probably won't be using this type of helmet again for now. I've got two Clone kits left and they're already lined up!

[@Donor-yp4mu]

ModelChili Scale Models thanks for the reply. Hope they will be put to good use. Thanks.

[@TheTurbanatore]

Please make Captain Rex, as well as Commander Fox, and Commander Bly and Bacara

[@a-n-t]

How can people dislike this?

[@alexmcelhannon7688]

It would be cool if he made a purge trooper out of it

[@comanderBETHA]

Curious question; Why don't u use a wash to dirty up the armor? Coupled with what you are already doing I think that would add a lot of dimension to it.

[@modelchili]

I do for some of my figure kits. I just mix it up now and again, check out my other figure kits and you'll see me apply a variety of weathering techniques. :)

[@comanderBETHA]

@@modelchili will do!

[@brizzy5233]

With that helmet you could make a Purge Trooper too, from the Fallen Order game.

[@modelchili]

I certainly could!

[@THEMEOWBALLS]

The orange needs to be coated again, and u need to use a cloth not foam as it just looks simple tbh. Also where u have put the little additional plating to the chest it should be higher up and down, other than that it’s a great build.

[@modelchili]

Cheers! Thanks for the feedback. 👍I probably won't use cloth for these, it never looks weighty enough and veers into action figure territory.

[@AvengerII]

You're obsessed with Clone Troopers, aren't you? 🤓 I swear it's gotta be because those guys all sound like you! Nobody had ANY IDEA when Boba Fett was created what he would spawn nearly 25 years later. Heh, considering Boba Fett was originally planned to be THE super trooper! I still remember that I saw him for the first time on American TV in the Star Wars Holiday Special. That cartoon is the ONLY THING that's worth a damn from that special and it's on The Empire Strikes Blu ray. I even sent away (likely bugged my parents) for the mail-order Boba Fett figure. They didn't release that figure carded for years! And I STILL practically gave him away to a neighbor kid who bought all my sets and figures when I got bored of them! 😅 Boy, if I had ANY idea back then of what my toys from the 1970s and early 1980s would be worth! Eh, I don't sweat over it. It's sick today that people NEVER remove anything from boxes and just let that stuff gather dust. That's even worse for model kits, IMHO. THOSE are meant to be built! ****************************** Well, since then I HAVE gotten another Boba Fett -- a statue of him in the animated style they used for the original Cartoon Network (hand-drawn) Clone Wars mini-series. They had a variant of that statue painted up in his TV debut colors (which are GARISH IMHO) but I preferred having Boba in the colors he appeared in in Return of the Jedi. Still got that statue in storage... FYI, I kind of prefer the Clone Troopers with the Jango-style helmet. The Phase II/evolution helmets are fine but if they're gonna all be cloned from Jango they might as well dress like him!

[@legomotion713]

How did using the epoxy putty work out for the neck hole? I'm thinking of using that technique for a custom bandai model kit clone.

[@modelchili]

It works pretty well!

[@charliedean2870]

Rad!! Where do you get all your references from?

[@legoplastictoysarmymenapoc2915]

great

[@arturarruda8151]

if you apply wash after weathering don't you take away some of the weathering itself?

[@modelchili]

No, the weathering is sealed under a clear coat.

[@brycekerns5095]

Am I still able to use the paint straight on plastic method for every part? I don’t have an airbrush and I’m trying to start my first kit but the painting process kind of confuses me

Hey ModelChili! Just wondering, how did that putty hold up for the helmet articulation and is it a secure/tight solution or is it pretty loose? Thinking of buying one of those helmets.

[@modelchili]

I wouldn't use the epoxy if you wanted good articulation, it's pretty restricting, but holds well.

[@durkoffdaperc]

i honestly wanna see one of these clones but not battle scarred like freshly made armor

[@sugarsammy7209]

Been enjoying these custom Bandai builds. Please do more! Also not sure if you did him or not but... Cmdr Cody? Also is it just me or don't you have close sounding voice to jango?

[@modelchili]

Commander Cody will be a challenge!

[@BobBob-qg4lo]

Idk about the random black lines and dots on the model, kinda just looks like chipped paint on an old action figure or like you left the model in a drawer full of uncapped pens as apposed to marks on well used armour. It’s a shame because the rest of your paint work is absolutely amazing and far beyond anything I could do.

[@ChikyNuggiesActual]

Did you leave the helmet on the figure while it hardened, Or just by itself? Amazing build btw. I love your channel! Im new to all this! Lol

Thanks! I took the helmet off before leaving it to set.

[@MrWeeeeeh78]

What did you use for the clasp on the straps on the kama? I've been struggling with that for months...

[@modelchili]

Yeah I totally forgot to mention that didn't I... lol. It was just another bit from my spare parts bin. It was a small squarish frame that I cliped the corners of to make it taper off a bit, then sanded it down to make it thinner. It was just a lucky find, next time I make one I'll have to come up with a different solution.
