Hi ALL,

Did a little work today on the escape pod today. The main thrusters are small plumbers joints and the end of the main thrusters are old paint lids. The small control thrusters on top and bottom are done using 1/72 German tank wheels and small caps that you use on the end of rods etc. The rest of the greeblies have been done using plasti card and 1/35 models parts.

Were do you get the sand from? All the craft stores here have wierd colored sand or beach sand. I was thinking of going to a hardware store for the sandblaster sand but that would be too much sand.

I go to a hardware warehouse called Bunnings and they sell washed river sand in bags for roughly $30 aus each and that last me for months. Or you can go to a landscape store and they should have different types of sands.

I bought the tmnt bike and theres a problem it is the same mold but the tmnt bike is smaller than the one i got from goodwill its a good size but maybe a bit too small? I will do more research later tonight during my shift.

Ok so its a tmnt bike from 2006 called a stunt rider. More specific its raphs. How ever all four turtles have their own for more variety speeders i hope this helps you make an awesome speeder dio.

Hi All,

This scene depicts a Sergeant informing his Squad Leader of the direction one of the droids has gone and after they restock up on water the SEARCH FOR THE DROIDS will continue.

Recipe

Sandtroopers - are from Hasbro 6" Black Series, I put them into pose's I liked then super glued the joints and then used AVES sculpt to cover the joints over. Once the putty dried I then covered the body suit areas in tissue paper.

The RT-97C Heavy Blaster Rifle the Sergeant is holding was made using a DCT-19 Heavy Blaster Rifle. I cut of the but section and then made the magazines using sme thrusters from an old Thunderbirds 2 model, I then used two scopes from the 6" Han Solo pistol and one scope from Luke X- wing pistol and then attached a piece of wire that I got fro the parts box.

Base - The base is built up using foam core board, The moisture vaporator is a mixer of plumbers connections and placti card and 1/72 and 1/35 model parts. The sand/rocks was done by mixing plaster of paris, sand and model railway stones all together and then adding it to the base.

Once the mix was done all the items were painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints and chalk pastels.

Hi All,

I did a 3-3/3" Fel back in 2006 and decided that I would redo him in 6" format. Also have a great xmas and a very happy new year.

Ron

Fel - is a Black Series 6" Tie pilot, I added shoulder armour from a Stormtroper and pistol and holster from Greedo and a few pouches from the parts box. I also added an extra tube from is chest computer to his thigh using which I got from the parts box, I super glued the joints and then puttied them and then covered the uniform in tissue paper.

Base - is built up using foam core and the power unit is some plumber connections I picked up at the local hardware shop and the pipes are some old computer cables. The crates are made from pieces of left over plasti card and the safety hazard marking was drawn on with a pencil and then hand painted.
