superb work as always. 

I got my spare tie pilot out and set him on my desk... set down to work on him and just couldn't get motivated.  That and all my paints are dried up...  :( 

Maybe next weekend.

Cheers mate and yeah it does get like that sometimes and I just spent a fortune on restocking my paints.

The AT-AT driver is magnificent. Thanks for sharing the process as well, it's really helpful for a less accomplished customizer like myself.

More then happy to share my recipes mate and thank you and don't sell yourself short you do great work.

Hi All,

He's all done. I finished him off by printing off imperial logos and repainting and then used pastel chalks to weather him up and give the armour a more battle look to it.

The comms relay was done by using a 1/1000th Enterprise nacelle, bullets from some GI Joe figures, wire, plasti card and bits and pieces from the bits box. The snow was done by mixing some spakfilla, PVA glue and water together until I got the texture I wanted and the icicles are made by using Woodland scenic Water Effects.

Hi All,

Onto a new project this round I'm doing a Imperial Spacetrooper using a Bandai 1/12 kit. The trooper has built straight out of the box and I will be keeping the articulation as there is little to no joint sections like Hasbro's troopers.

The air tank has been built using a part from a 3-3/4" Imperial Evo Trooper, piece of plasti card tube, 1/72 scale tank wheels, two top of Hasbro SW missles, some 1/20 scale plastic nuts, two parts from the 6" BS speeder bike and some plastic tubes from the bits box.

The base is from the Bandai Stormtrooper and I have built up aroind it using plasti card as it will have a 9 volt battery underneath as it will have to lights in it. The lights run up thru the plasti tube and I have used a 1/35 scale tank wheel on the taller tube and the two tubes have clear domes that I gotten from two Star Trek kits.

Hi All,

The Imperial Spacetrooper is from Bandai 1/12 kit. The trooper was built straight out of the box and I will be keeping the articulation as there is little to no joint sections like Hasbro's troopers.

The air tank has been built using a part from a 3-3/4" Imperial Evo Trooper, piece of plasti card tube, 1/72 scale tank wheels, two top of Hasbro SW missles, some 1/20 scale plastic nuts, two parts from the 6" BS speeder bike and some plastic tubes from the bits box.

The base is from the Bandai Stormtrooper and I have built up around it using plasti card as it will have a 9 volt battery underneath as it will have to lights in it. The lights run up thru the plasti tube and I have used a 1/35 scale tank wheel on the taller tube and the two tubes have clear domes that I gotten from two Star Trek kits.

He's complete, I painted the base and air tank using Vallejo paints and painted the black areas of the troopers uniform matt black. I used the decals from the Bandai kit to use on the filters and painted the mouth section and also the detonators grey section.

Off to share. Very impressive Ron.

Is it just me or are you liking these Bandai Kits better than Hasbro's 6" version? What is the price comparison between the two?

Thanks heaps Shawn, I have to admit I do love the Bandai kits as the details are better and being an old school modeler it gives me the great satisfaction in building them. I have R2/R5 and C3P0 coming and I can't wait for them.

As for pricing a Hasbro stormtrooper in aussie dollars is around $35 and Bandai from HLJ is $21-$25 so the money is heaps better.

Thanks again mate and I highly recommend them and as you know you don't need glue and the parts that should stay together do.
