A sequel to my first Air trooper. Most of the credit should go to my friend cause he built the main body and I made some minor adjustments. I got his okay before I put this online. This model was also my inspiration for 0977. Hope you enjoy.
About this creation
Here is an overhead view of Air trooper 0999. This model has a breastplate for extra protection.
As you can see, this is a more gray scale figure, compared to 0977. This model has a slightly smaller wingspan than 0977, but has four missile launchers on top of his head. A nice touch if I do say so myself.
Another view of 0999. Again, the numbers don't mean a thing!
This is a close up of the trooper's flight mechanism. I find that it looks more sturdy than 0977.
Here is his main hand gun. This was one of the only things my friend did that I left untouched. I really don't know what to name it. If you guys have an idea then that would be great. I also had to make a little stand for it. It wouldn't stand by itself.
This is a carbine that I saw on brickshelf. It was pretty simple to make with just a star wars rifle and a black mini figure hand. This one also required a stand.
Here is the trooper's footwear. Nothing extra special, only 6 bricks in all.
Here he is with out all his massive attire. Those grey pieces, like 0977, is what I use to attach the armor and wings.
He looks kind of top heavy in this picture, due to the shape of his boots. They sort of lean forward.
Here is the trooper with his weapons, looking a little more complete. Still a little top heavy for my taste though.
Much better. I think it would look a little intimidating to a squadron of droids. Or whatever the case may be.
Almost look like brothers, although not quite identical. Imagine a squadron of these. Anyway, thanks for viewing! (pleez rate!)

Very nice design. I can see a whole army of these flying over a huge battlefield. That would look awesome, like creepy oversised bugs. I think his gun is great and the design of the four missiles above his head looks very menacing.
