How to Make a LEGO Star Wars Airborne Trooper

The LEGO Company was founded in Denmark in 1932. Today, they have expanded to over 130 countries. In 2010, LEGO was the world's fourth largest producer of children's toys. LEGO first began to produce "Star Wars" themed product sets in 2002. In the "Star Wars" mythology, Airborne Troopers are similar to regular Clone Troopers, but have received special training which allows them to perform high altitude drop attacks. Their armor contains orange stripes and they carry a long rifle. LEGO has never officially released an Airborne Trooper model, but you can acquire the necessary parts from an online custom LEGO store.

Instructions

  Visit the online custom LEGO store SimpleBrick (www.simplebrick.com) and purchase an Airborne Trooper orange custom mini-figure. This contains all the body parts and weapons necessary to build your own Airborne Trooper.

  Attach the Airborne Trooper's legs to his torso. Do this by inserting the top of the legs into the empty slots at the bottom of the torso.
- 3
  Attach the Airborne Trooper's head (encased within his helmet) onto the small rod or "neck" of the torso. The head should fit securely yet still be able to swivel slightly.

  Place the long rifle into the hands of the Airborne Trooper. This should easily click into place if attached correctly. You have now completed making a LEGO Custom "Star Wars" Airborne Trooper!
