Wow Ron. I didn't even know you had this project in the works and now it is finished. It looks great. Off to share.

Thanks heaps Shawn and yeah I have a few little one-two day projects I have to do but I got to get back to the AT-AT foot and get that done.

I know you are LOL and I did the final sanding last night and will spray it now to see if I missed anywhere or a little touch up might be needed. I also ordered your AT-AT driver and waiting on materials to arrive for yous.

Hi All,

This Jawa is for the same client that I'm doing the AT-AT foot for.

Recipe

Jawa - has a body from an old Madelman figure I got off ebay and I removed the lower legs and added boots from a old 6" figure I had in the parts box.

The head was from an old Call of duty WW2 figure and I cut the nose and ears off then I used thin lining model tape and wrapped it around the head and boots.

Once the tape was done I then used tissue paper and attached it to the head and boots using watered down PVA glue. The eyes are two elbow pins I took of an old arm that I had in the bits box.

The robe was from the Hasbro 6" Obi Wan Kenobi and I cut it down and repainted it and the bandolier weapon holsetr and belt are pieces of leather. The bandolier pouches are from the Bandai Sandtrooper shoulder ammo puuch and the rest of the pouches are from the Bandai Sandtrooper and other old figures.

The weapons are pieces of Bandai Sandtrooper weapons cut and attached to the desired look and the power supply is from the Bandai Deathtrooper and the connector/wire at the bottom the power supply is from a 1/6th scale WW2 German head set.

Base - is from Bandai with balsa wood sides and the sand is a mix of spakfilla/sand/paint and spread over the base and the Protocol Droid is the Bandai C3PO left over parts.

Hi All,

85% done I just need to do a few little extra details and then do the base. I filled in the gaps with spakfilla and then once sanded I then used a cereal box to cover the foot and leg, I used 1/35 scale parts for the greeblies.

Hi All,

 The foot/leg is now painted and just needs some minor weathering done to it. The ground work has been built up using air dry clay and the foil around the foot is were the snow has been kicked up by the foot and the larger foil pieces will be rocks.

Ron

Hi All,

I have covered the rocks with spakfilla and then used a baby wipe to get rid of the pointy parts like I did for the asteriods on the Falcon dio. Once dry they will be painted and weathered then the snow will be added to them and the base.

Pretty cool to see how you are doing all these small details. Off to share the latest Ron.
