Hi All

Guys/Gals thanks heaps for the replies on the sneak peak and as promised here are the better pics. And again thanks to Lucasclones for the inspiration.


RECIPE

Troopers - All the troopers are from Hasbro and are a mix of Storm and Sandtroopers. I had no regards when I was chopping these guys up I just wanted them to look like they have been attacked and chewed on by all types of humans and creatures.

The joints have been superglued and puttied up, the flesh is a mix of plastacine mixed with superglue and then thrown all over the place lihe were torn aprt.

Base - The base is a 1/6 Sideshow SW base with plaster added and then fine sand over the top of that. Once the base and figure were made they were  painted using Vallejo, GW paints and weathered with Vallejo and pastels.

Hi All

Well guys/gals after I did the three small Sandtrooper dio's I had alot of people ask me how I go about creating and weathering not just the Desert/Tatioone dio's but the figures as well.  I decided to create a section of a docking port or bay to show how I go about it.

This project will be over a period of about 7 days maybe sooner so here are the first 3 pics, Enjoy and comments always welcome.

Ron

Thank you for posting this.  I've always been wondering how you managed to paint and weather so nicely.  Thank you very much for sharing.

I love seeing how other builders do stuff, how did you affix the sand to the dio?

Hi All

Spookymufu  - Thanks Spooky and thanks for pointing out about the sand. It was adhered by spreading PVA/woodglue and then sprinkling the sand over that.
