Custom clone sergeant figure inspired by the movie

Clone troopers are soldiers in the Star Wars fictional universe. All were clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter called Jango Fett. They first appeared in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and returned in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, however we could see some armor and helmet differences between the two clone variations. clone_evolutionThe earlier version called Phase 1 clone trooper armor, while in EP3 that was a modified armor, called Phase 2, which was half way between the basic clone armor and drove us towards the Imperial stormtrooper armors. We mainly examine the Ep2 Phase 1 clone in this article in terms of a custom Clone Sergeant, who will be seen at the end of this article. Saying "Phase 1 clone trooper armor" is a bit too long, so fans often call these AotC clones "crested" clones, as they have a very special pointed ridge on the top rear end on their helmet. All of the clones irrespectively of the rank, color, or assignment (so foot soldiers, commanders, pilots, and ARC troopers etc.) were played by Temuera Morrison in the movies. The bulk of the Grand Army of the Republic were clone troopers during the Clone Wars in the movies. Though they were outnumbered by the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the clones' adaptability and creativity gave the advantage to the Republic and soon they got the upper hand during the fights.

Each clone's first ten years of life were spent with learning on Kamino, including the officers, like this clone_sergeant Kaminogreen clone sergeant. After that they started their combat trainings, and physical educations. Standard clone troopers were trained by droids and Kaminoans, while ARC troopers and clone commandos received instruction from Jango Fett personally, or from an other bounty hunter friend of Jango. The armor of the clone troopers were also a Mandalorian "patrimony", as it was designed by the style of the Mandalorian battle armor, also their helmet were notable by its T-shaped visor. Their armament also designed by Mandalorian plans. The existence of the clones, their training, producing their weapons and vehicles were "clouded by the dark side", I mean these things all were top secret.

Until Geonosis. The Battle of Geonosis marked the first deployment of the clone troopersThe Battle of Geonosis marked the first deployment of the clone troopers as well as the beginning of the Clone Wars. The clones rescued the remnants of Mace Windu's Jedi strike team from the Geonosian arenaThe clones rescued the remnants of Mace Windu's Jedi strike team from the Geonosian arena, covering their retreat into the Republic Gunships, quickly transporting them out from the hell of the geonosian arena into the hell of the Geonosian plainsfrom the hell of the geonosian arena into the hell of the Geonosian plains. They mobilised a huge army the clones manned those armored vehicles and aircraftsa huge army, the clones manned those armored vehicles and aircrafts, who had to face the mighty and dreadful droid army, they had to die for the Republic if necessary, but unfortunately the Republic didn't mean the Jedi Order as we saw... The Grand Army of the Republic fought in the Geonosian hell, and later the clone army fought the Separatist forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems throughout the galaxy. After the Geonosis arena scene it was the premiere of the later frequently used combat model, namely each clone trooper armies were led by Jedi generalsAfter the Geonosis arena scene it was the premiere of the later frequently used combat model, namely each clone trooper armies were led by Jedi generals. After disembarking the Republic Gunships almost all Jedi Masters went to a different clone squad leaders to form a battle plan and to discuss the most likely successful formationAfter disembarking the Republic Gunships almost all Jedi Masters went to a different clone squad leaders to form a battle plan and to discuss the most like successful formation. It may be weird for many of us that only 9 clones form a squad, it sounds like not too much for a squad. One of the possible explanation for this 9 men squads was that a Jedi Master could defend optimally 9 men like a one-man deflector shield standing on top of a formationa Jedi Master could defend optimally 9 men like a one-man deflector shield standing on top of a formation. We could watch in the movie clone squadrons splitting up smaller divisions, and following Jedi Masters into the battle. Master Mace Windu, Master Kit Fisto and more other not mentioned Jedi masters led these 9-10 men clone squads into battleMaster Kit Fisto, and more other not mentioned Jedi masters led these 9-10 men clone squads into battle. On the Geonosian battlefield we first saw several Jedi Masters stand in front of clone squads, leading them to battle, showing their back towards them, trusting them, and protecting them with lightsabers, like a shield, while the clones were shooting out behind the Jedi to target enemy units. In the first times... Few years later this model and the Jedi were felt... The Jedi Generals selected or were accompanied by Clone Commanders after the Battle of Geonosis, who served as an interface between the Jedi and the soldiers. We can mention some of these aide-de-camp commanders, notable clone commanders were Commander Cody, who served with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Commander Gree, who served with Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and Jedi Master Yoda on Kashyyyk, Commander Bacara, who served with Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Commander Bly, who served with Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, but we can mention Appo, Keller, Neyo, and Thire, too.

Clone Trooper Sergeants have green armor markings, and command squads. One squad was made up of 9 clone troopers. When I made mine, there was no green clone commanders, the most common available color clone was a red one, he came with a tripod cannon, so my Clone sergeant was made from a red tripod clone.
