I forgot to mention that chair is spot on awesome too. You could make some deniro just creating and selling those if you wanted.

Thanks Shawn and it has crossed my mind to make them.

Really outstanding project! The poses are great - I feel like Tarkin needs a drink in his hand:) The chair looks excellent and your paint job is beautiful. This is a gorgeous diorama.

Thanks so much buddy.

What a phenomenal diorama. The chair, the paintwork and the poses - everything looks perfect.
And you can extend the dio if Hasbro brings us some other characters from the Death Star briefing scene.
Excellent work as always.

Hi All,

I have always wanted a Hero Cross Sandtrooper but they have been way to pricey so when I got a chance to buy a cheap Hero Cross Stormtrooper I picked him up and redid him as a Snadtrooper.

Recipe.

Figure - as mentioned he is a Hero Cross Stormtrooper and I removed the thermal detonator and then added the pauldron and back pack from a BS Sandtrooper.  I like the back pack being larger then it should as to me it keeps in theme of the characters cartoony  appearance, I then gave him a wash of GW Agrax Earthshade and then used pastel chalks to add the dust.

Base - as with the figure I wanted to look a little cartoony so I made the walls larger and door smaller and I made the walls using foam board and the greeblies on the wall and the door comms are from my parts box, the door is made using foam board and plastic card and the door frame is plastic tiles.

The texture on the walls was done using watered down down spakfilla and then I painted and weathered it using Vallejo paints. The sand was done by laying watered down spakfilla and then sprinkling sand over the top and then once dry I painted it.

The tarp is a dried out baby wipe and the poles are wooden dowels and the under the tarp is string to hold the pole and tarp up. The containers are old asthma bottle and some odd stands I had in the spare box and I kept these odd sizes again to keep with the cartoony theme.

That is awesome! I think you are right about the oversized backpack fitting the "cartoony" feel of the figure. You just need some of JDeck's wacky packs on the ground to "seal the deal" :)

Hi All,

Imperial Recon Sniper 1:12 scale.

Nothing to special with this one as I had a spare trooper and just wanted something simple to do.
Recipe.

Trooper - is from Hasbro BS 6" line and I repainted all the black areas and also the blue, silver and grey areas on the helmet, The rifle is from SW Bandai trooper and the throw over and green wraps around the rifle are dried baby wipes painted green.

Base - is two SW Bandai bases with balsa wood sides and the ground work was built up using foam and the rocks are pieces of high density foam which I ripped apart.

The ground work was built up using spakfilla and sand and then once dry it was painted and then I used mulch to cover the ground and the ferns are from the local craft store and the grass tufts and coloured tufts are from Army Painter.

He looks great! I love the wrap/cloak. As usual, your base looks real.
