looks great, and I love that you lowered the pack and DIDNT paint the pauldron gray, just great looking work!

[jkno]

Very cool as usual! The original OT Dewback rider has the white pauldron so this looks excellent! BTW can you have him with his helmet on? Like the screen used Sandtroopers?

[JediMerc]

Another stunning piece of work.  I love visiting this forum, but especially when I know we're in the midst of a "Ron-a-thon" of customizing! 

If you have time, I was wondering if I could ask: I'm planning on constructing some basic dios for my 3.75" figs sometime in the coming year and was curious as to whether you'd recommend wall spackle or plaster of Paris as the material for building walls, etc. 

Thanks!  Looking forward to the next piece of awesome you have in store for us...

Hi All,

Wow, what another great work of art in the six inch scale you have created using that Sandtrooper as a base. I can only wonder what new six inch goodness you will show us as we get more Black Series six inch figures. Bravo Ron. Off to share.

Thanks Shawn and I have a few idea's in the works especially for Solo/Greedo and Fett.

Ron.  I have been loving your projects this year.  Sorry I haven't commented as often as  I used to do.  I used to comment all the time on forums from my cell phone because I'm always on the road, but with my new phone, the browser always crashes whenever I try to comment in a forum.  As a result my participation in forums has dropped significantly.   I have been watching and admiring though!  Your art is as awesome as ever.  I'd love to do a figure swap one day!

Hey DD thanks mate and no worries I know what you are going thru with the phone my new one is totally useless when it comes to try and send to the forums as well.

Another great looking scene mate! Love the subject matter and the paint work and weathering are phenominal!

Thanks heaps Spry.

  Another grand slam Ron!!!   I to cant wait to see what is next from you !!!  all the best    Art

Cheers Art.

Hey Spooky glad you liked it mate thank you and when I was doing the backpack I remember what you said about the first 6" sandy and you were 100% spoton.

Very cool as usual! The original OT Dewback rider has the white pauldron so this looks excellent! BTW can you have him with his helmet on? Like the screen used Sandtroopers?

Hey mate thanks for the reply and I was going to have the helmet and head be interchangable but liked it better with the helmet off.

Cheers mate and thanks for the reply.

Mate for the walls that depends on two things are you use the bases for just display with so I would go with the plaster/PVA mix as I use this method due to the fact that mine are really for display only.

If you are going to use the bases as a play piece I would go for the spackle as it is alot stronger and would take the knocks better. I hop this helped and if you need and other help just let me know.

Hi All,

After all the dio's that I have done of late I figured that I would just take it easy and do a repaint this time round.

RECIPE
       
Figure - Solo is from Hasbro's 6" Black Series line and was given a repaint to show how good the detail on these figures are. The figure was painted using Vallejo and GW paints.

Just awesome work Ron. Off to share.

[mr.Jedi1977]

Excellent !! Much better . I have to say i had no interest in  collecting the 6 inch line but somehow they are starting to grow on me , and after seeing your update ... well i may have to start working alot of overtime  lol  again great work .....Art

[Spookymufu]

wow, night and day huh?

how long did it take you to paint it up?

[Clonehead]

thats some pretty work, Ron. Yours looks like a sideshow item now. Love the before and after shot.

[darthcrassus]

I've always said the paint on the 6'' line was its weak point and that the human figures just looked boyish. But Wow! If Hasbro painted it's figures like this I'd be very excited. This looks like a NECA figure!

Thanks Art and yeah overtime does come in handy when wanting these figures LOL.

Thanks mate and it roughly took about 3 hrs to paint.

Thank heaps mate and I thought that it would be a good idea to add another unpainted figure so people coudl see the detail that can be done by just repainting them.

That's what I call a perfect repaint.
I wish Hasbro could make this quality.
