Hi All,

It looks great Ron. I really enjoy these little dios too. you show us how to do dios in all sizes that help us with our space and pocketbook issues. Off to share.

Thanks Shawn and yeah these little dios are great on space that is for sure and the price all up for this was $25aus.

Hi All,

New small dio, this time round it's Rey and BB-8. Rey is from Hasbro's BS 6" range and BB-8 is from Bandai, I have started painting BB-8 and just need to paint on some little details and weather him.

Rey has had the joints glued and putty and the cloth area's have had tissue attached to them using watered down PVA glue.

Hi All,

95% done on this one, I just need to weather them both and then add the dull coate but until then here are some pics plus comparison before/after pics.

Thanks heaps Shawn and the sculpts are stunning it's a shame that the Hasbro paint them like they do.

And this is all done, I just need to get the outdoor pics but that won't happen until the weekend.

It looks great Ron. I agree such a shame about the paint work. If we get this first Hasbro Google Hangout off the ground I am gonna use your before and after shot to show them how much more their figures could be if they would give them good paint.

I might get booted, but oh well. Off to share.

Thanks heaps Shawn and yeah that would be great to show Hasbro what can be done with these figures. Me personally I think they can still make them the way they do it gives me things to paint and make better and maybe a exclusive figure series were the figure/s gets the A grade treatment and may a small base as well.

Hi All,

The next project is painting these three Hasbro figures up. I won't show any other WIP pics other then these as it will be a simple process doing the figures as I just need to glue the joints, fill in the joints and then paint them up.

Hi All,

I'll be putting the three TFA FO troopers on hold for just over two weeks as I have a model expo coming up in two weeks and need to pull my finger out and get this dio completed.

For those that remember this is going to be a shuttle hovering and having sand troopers abseiling down to the ground on Jakku. The partial shuttle is almost ready for painting I just need to do some sanding and add a few more greeblies, Bob is showing the scale of the partial shuttle and I will get a few more pics up tonight of the whole dio and how it will look.
