Another Sw Project Finished - Andy - 04-23-2006
Hey Guys
Well I\'ve just finished my latest project and ticked another off the list. I knew pretty early on when I started the Star Wars helmet side of my collection that I\'d need to add a Sandtrooper to the line up and it also sounded like a fun project, plus a chance to dust off the paints and get my hands dirty again
Scored myself a GF copy kit from the same guy I bought my GF stunt from and got to work on it as soon as it arrived. Real nice kit with just the usual triming and cutting required and it all bolted together a treat. Then it was paint time, primer, gloss white then out with the acrylics, took me back to my Hockey Mask days. Took plenty of pics for y\'all but I wont bore you with all of them, knocked up this progress pic instead :wink:

And here\'s some shots of the completed lid. Had a few reference pics and screen caps but to be honest I had a pretty good idea of how I wanted it to look in my head. Well worn and very dirty with a little battle damage too, and this is it...

One of the most enjoyable projects I\'ve gone for so far and I\'m damn happy with how it came out. Love to try a full Sandy armour now....someday
Thanks for viewing guys.

Wonderful Job on those Andy! :thumbsup: How long does it normally take you to do it?

Damn fine work Andy! Nice and dirty! Did you use pastel chalks or just paints to weather it up?
Oh and PM coming!

Thanks alot guys.
This one took me a good day and a half. I received the kit friday and just did a little trimming friday night. Spent most of yeterday on it and finished it up this morning.
No chalks, all the weathering was done with watered down acrylics and a selection of brushes and sponges, or a little finger action :blink:
PM replied to Dan :wink:

A good day and a half? You\'re a freak! That\'d take me a month or more!

When I get stuck into something I just can\'t leave it alone until I\'m spent.OK, that sounded wrong :blink:
