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.
