Excellent work as always Ron. can't wait to see your water effects on this new WIP.

Cheers Spry and I have a few ideas I just need to work out which one will be the best.

This display looks very nice already! I watched Rogue One yesterday and really enjoyed seeing the Death Troopers in action! I wish you a good time with this project! The result will certainly be amazing...as always!

Thanks mate and yeah it was great to see the troopers in action actually hitting something. LOL

Hi All,

Firstly I hope everyone has a Happy Christmas and a great New Year.

I have added spakfilla to the base area of the base and then mixed spakfilla and sand for the beach area. I painted the water area with Vallejo Dark Blue and then started using washes of Vallejo Dark Blue and White until I was happy with the colour.

The sand was painted using Vallejo Iraqui Sand and once dry did a few washes of the Iraqui Sand and Vallejo Pale Sand until I was happy with the colour.

The Troopers had their joints glued and then puttied up and I then painted the cloth area's Vallejo Black and gave the area a light weathering on Vallejo Silver to give them a little wear and tear.

Next will be adding the water.

Hi All,

I hope everyone has a awesome xmas and got lots of great pressies.

I have given the water three coats of Woodland Scenics Water Effects and I still need 2 more before I start adding all the splash effects, I also need to give the beach another layer of spakfilla and sand.

Hi All,

I got a few of the Black Series 3-3/4" Deathtroopers and Shoretroopers for xmas and damn I love these figures and if this BS figures are going to be this good I'll be doing a lot more 3-3/4".

Ok the base so far is Bandai base glued together and then a balsa wood edge added, I then added plastic card which will partial land pad. The palm tree is just a small branch from the garden and I wrapped string around it and then adding tissue paper and soaking it with watered down PVA glue.

The cargo containers are made using plastic card and the cargo tube containers are old superglue lids
and I added 1/72 WW2 German tank wheels for the lids.

The troopers as mentioned above are BS 3-34/" and I super glued the joints and then used plasticine to fill the joints and tissue paper will be used to cover the cloth areas. I painted one up to be a captain and will weather them once I do the tissue technic.

Hi All,

The Deathtrooper dio is almost completed, I just need to add a tiny bit more to the splash area and then make the legs look wet.

Time to get both of these on the front page. That water work with the foot splash is just unbelievable Ron. Great work on both.

   Awesome dios Ron! The water effects look great! I like that 3.75 dio. The tree looks very good, and I like the boxes you made.

Cheers JD and I love the new BS 3-3/4" figures and the palm was a lot easier then I thought and turned out way better then I expected as I wasn't to sure about the paper leaves.

Hi All,

Here are the usual pics for the Death Trooper dio.

Recipe

Troopers - are from Hasbro and I super glued the joints and then puttied them and once dry I repainted the body suit and weathered the armour.

Base - is balsa wood and then I used spakfilla to start the water and then I mixed spakfilla and fine river sand and the added some Vallejo Iraqui Sand and then added to the base for the beach section.

The water is Woodland Scenics Water Effects and so is the splashing water, I pour the Water Effects on the base and then spread it out and then once dry dry brushed gloss white to simulate froth.
