Oh man, what a quick pace you are set on these days! I love it but have not been able to keep up. Just let me say, you are doing exactly what I predicted on CAFN when we covered the news of a 6 inch line coming. You are knocking every project out of the park with your amazing artistry. My jaw hit the floor when I saw Barron Fel! The escape pod interpretation is beautiful and the moisture vaperator is very inspiring. Now we have a Snowtrooper that is to die for! Rally great build and base buddy.

All Really Good. The Escape Pod is very Inspiring !!

Hi All,

Well I can't wait for the Bandai Sandtrooper to come out so I've decided to convert the Stormtrooper I put together today. The figure is Bandai and I removed the holster two white cartridges from the front and attached two Hasbro Sandtroopers ammo pouches to the side and will add a another one to the left shoulder.

The back pack is Hasbro's Sandtroopers and has been attached by removing some the plastic from the inside and also removing the detonator from the back of the trooper. The pauldron is again the Hasbro's Sandtrooper and has been super glued on.\, I also removed the ridges that are on the left knee and added a triangle knee section using plasti card.

I just have to paint and weather him up and make a small sand base using the Bandai base that comes with the figure and this figure will be fully articulated.

Thanks Shawn and I can't wait to paint and weather him up and I honestly can say this is my favorite 1/12 trooper, I will be getting heaps more of these guys that is for sure.

Thanks Spry and the knee plate was easy as I can just use plastic glue to adhere it.

Super cool Ron! I want just one or two Bandai Stormies and I'll be happy. Are they a lot more posable than Hasbro's?

Cheers buddy and they are way more posable then Hasbro's and much lighter as well and another great thing is that they don't have or get loose joints or warped legs.

Hi All,

I have completed converting the Bandai Stormtrooper into a Sandtrooper and I am very happy with the end result.

As you know I used the Bandai Stormtrooper and used the Hasbro Sandtroopers backpack and ammo pouches. I gave him and the equipment a complete repaint and weathering using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

The base is the one that comes with the figure kit and I just covered it using plaster of paris and mixed sand into and then applied it to the base and then painted and weathered using Vallejo paints.
