discussion 1/12 STAR WARS STORMTROOPER-DIO.

[eddiesolo]

UPDATES FURTHER DOWN.


This is the 1/12 Bandia Stormtrooper, same one that Alan did a few days ago. He has been assembled, decals added to helmet etc (fiddly bleeders) and then a light weathering, his E-11 blaster has also had some light aluminium weathering. I have sealed him in matt varnish as I wanted him to be more battered and worn. He is going to go on a small dio base in some backwater planet-keep the populace in-line.

Here is a update on what I have been doing.


Done a doorway, like off Tattoine, it's made from polystyrene coated in a modelling dust and PVA mix, once dry I then started to paint and weather it.


I then made a small droid out from the robot from 'Space-Precinct' stripped him and added stuff, stripped out a old sync lead from a camera and used the bendy insert for supports of the neck, he is finished.


So, that is it for now, 8 hours work in just that lot!

That looks cool mate , the dust on the trooper is top notch and I like the doorway and robot

I like how you made the trooper a little dirty. Shiny white wouldn't look right imo. The lil robot/droid thingy is really cute. Good job so far Si!

 

[monica]

cool Si,i do like this one and the pose you have him in looks good,and he is talking to


the droid


the back round looks great as well,nice work with the poly,i like using that as well,


done like how your done the Stormtrooper ,like the looks of the black with the silver,nice

ANOTHER UPDATE:


Have painted and weathered the stone doorway, added the door, made out of spare aluminum blind slats (right fiddle that was) added some tubing and a bottom part from a A4 plastic paper holder. Also added a door mechanism and some equipment. The trooper is going to be looking a screen (when I finish it). Mounted on its board, just need some fine sand to finish that off.

Cheers mate, glad you like it, this is a doorway to 'Docking Bay 94' Have got some signage in Imperial words.


Not sure yet, I have to clear £24 just to cover the figure! So, dunno.

I'd keep it mate it's a cracker

 

[eddiesolo]

I have just ordered a 6 inch sandtrooper to go with this, the Bandia tropper is going to have his hand removed and the one that is pointing is going to be used for him touching the screen. The Sandtrooper is ready for the door to open and then they get shot to bits

 

[bazers]

Looks great Si weathering on him is just right looking foreward to seeing it finished.

 

[monica]

looking great Si,all the added bits and bobs,around the doorway ,make it look real,


and i do real like that door,nice idea on what you, used,


will look forward to next update,

 

[eddiesolo]

UPDATE:


The docking bay 94 sign is done and on, as is the screen with the Falcon in the hanger, have added some dust pigments and redone the troopers hands.

Cheers Amos, glad you like it. Pity work is hold until I get the other stuff.

[eddiesolo]

ANOTHER UPDATE:


Have added some flags to the rear and to the front of door and weathered.


Some more equipment was added to the side.


The Sandtrooper is added and I have been messing with poses.


I have also added a whitewash to the rear and to the front and inside, like it was in the film, then I took it back to give that weathered worn look.
