Title: Hemble's Figure's - Imperial Navy Commando 6" - P48 07/02/23
Post by: hemble on December 11, 2009, 05:06:24 PM: Hi All

New to this forum and just thought that I would show you all the figure's that I have done over the years, some of you know my work already but for those that haven't enjoy and comments are always welcomed.

I have added a link as there are alot of pics so I figured that this would be the best way for you all to see them.

Post by: Tamer on December 11, 2009, 06:06:08 PM: Wow, I just spent a good bit of time looking at these. Just amazing. I had to get this link up on the front page.

I really liked the Mando and trooper right above him. Very nice, and once again welcome to the Yards.

Post by: XizorsVirago on December 16, 2009, 07:59:18 PM: Wow, you have some awesome customs, I am so jealous! My personal favorites from your collection are: Dengar, Imperial Trooper Jedi hunter, Baron Fel, and your Count Dooku, I definitely want one like that someday! Is Dooku just a repaint, or did you add in some better articulation (as it looks like)? On your Dengar figure, I think the figure looks perfect, but the base seems a bit unfitting for such a cool figure... For some reason, I think some nice rocks and a little bigger base footprint would look really cool, especially if he had one leg up on a slightly higher rock like he's sneaking around hunting his next Han Solo look-alike bounty! But that's jut my thought ;) Great figures, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback mate and Dooku was put onto a Dragon Body, and the base for Dengar waqs for a client and he didn't want anything to big so this is what I came up with.

Post by: hemble on December 19, 2009, 08:25:40 PM: Hi All

I finally got to watch the second episode of IMPS the other day and totally loved it, and it also gave me the inspiration to do an AT-AT Gunner which I thought was a awesome concept.

If you haven't had a chance to see either the first or second episodes go and see them there awesome, and once the figure and base were built they were pianted with Vallejo and reaper miniature paints.

RECIPE

figure - The AT-AT Gunner is a combination of a Hasbro AT-AT Driver and a Snowtrooper, the helmet has had a visor added to it from an old X-wing pilot helmet and the tbes are from the bits box. The skirt is some tissue paper glued together and then attached to the figure.

Base - The base is made from a base which I got from a $2 shop and the hull section of the AT-AT was built up using foam core and cardboard, the interior equipment are bits and pieces from my 1/35 bits box.

The MG 42 is from some WW2 German soldiers that I have and the arm extender is made from some plasti rod and strips, the wires are from some old 1/6 radio equipment.

Title: Re: Hemble's Figure's 20/12/2009
Post by: Phatty on December 19, 2009, 08:37:31 PM: Ron, that is absolutely amazing! Your use of such wonderful bits and pieces is remarkable! You better either secure, hide, or price this one, as Tamer is SURE to try to get it from you, any means necessary!
Title: Re: Hemble's Figure's 20/12/2009
Post by: Clonehead on December 19, 2009, 08:57:35 PM: It's beautiful, Ron! What a great tribute to IMPS episode 2. Yes, poor Tamer is going to lose sleep over this one. Can we get a close up shot of the painting that you did on the helmet?
That base you made is killer, sir.

Let me say this about how much I like it, if you ever do decide you can part with it I would love to take a crack at acquiring this. I loved the setion with those two gunners going back and forth with the newbie and making part of the door and gun to display this is just awesome. Yes indeed, I would love to have this one. Thank you so much for sharing it here. I will try not to bug you about it, try being the oppurtune word there.

Well good, I am glad my little message may have had something to do with you getting paid. That was one sweet dio and figure. I would love to have one like this and hope you can pencil me in for March. Thank you for letting me talk with you about it then.

Hemble, I'd like it if you added some input onto an Idea I'm mulling over. I've started a thread over in the vehicles section about doing an accurately scaled at-at built from scratch. I'm considering adding an IMPS style side gunner and repelling snowtroopers to it in the end and would like to know some more details about your mini-dio. For example:

what did you use for the helmet accessory on the figure?
What did you use to construct the gun emplacement and gimble arm?

thanks bud, I love this one btw Please tell me you left it playable and didn't glue it in place like your other dios! (I know if I had this I'd be playing with it! :P )

Post by: hemble on January 15, 2010, 08:52:31 PM: Hi All

A few years back I did a 3-3/4" Mando Warrrior and thought it would be great to do one in 12" scale, I have to thank a good friend over at mousedroid as he was selling this figure.

I decided not to go with the vibro blade but gave him to blasters instead, Once I got the look I wanted for the figure he was painted and weathered using Vallejo, Games Workshop paints and pastels.

RECIPE

figure - The is the Jango deluxe from Hasbro, I kept the helmet, backpack, gaunlets, chest and code armour and the uniform from the kit and used boots from are from an Andromeda figure.

The cloth pieces are left over pieces I had lying around and I replaced the left holster with a WW2 ammo bag.

The shoulder armour is from a Clone trooper from Hasbro and the Mando Skull was drawn onto the shoulder and chest armour then painted, the helmet has had pieces added to it from the bits box.

It's hard to add anything that hasn't been said already. All I can say is that your creations are inspired, the detail, the paintwork, the presentation, all are polished and intricate to even the tinyiest detail. Your skills must have been acquired through many years of creative work and it really shows. I love every new image you post.

Post by: hemble on March 19, 2010, 07:54:42 PM: Hi All

After I built the 3-3/4" AT-AT Gunner I had a lot of people ask if I was going to do a 1/6 version and after a good friend Dorgs(Sideshow Freaks Forums) sent me two helmets to help me get this project started. As always once I got the look I wanted from both the figure and base I painted and weathered thme both using Vallejo, Games Workshop paints and pastels.

And more pics can be seen at my site in the SW figure section.

RECIPE

Figure - The AT-AT Gunner has been made using a Hasbro Tie Fighter Helmet and a TOMY AT-AT Helmet. The armour and boots arr a combination of Hasbro's Snowtrooper and Sandtrooper. The hands are Sidewhows Sandtroooper's and the chest monitor is a combination of two Sideshow Endor troopers bandolier parts, the jumpsuit is from the Hasbro's AT-ST Pilot and the skirt is from the Hasbro Snowtrooper.

The tubing is some left over pieces I had in my bits box and the harness is made from clips from a Dragon modern Back pack and pouches. I used some string I had in my bits box as a life line and the wall connection is a hand from a battle droid.

Weapon - The weapon is a German MG-34 from Dragon I just added a scope from some 1/35th scale parts and some plasti-rod and the arm extension is parts from the Hasbro Battle droids and 1/35th scale parts.

Base - The base is a picture frame which I got from a $2 shop and the hull section of the AT-AT was built up using balsa wood cardboard. The interior equipment are bits and pieces from a WW2 German 1/6 radio equipment. I also used some old ink cartridges and electrical cable, the hand grip and the holders around the cable are cut pieces of wire. coat hanger

The exterior has been built up using plasti sheet for the panels and 1/35th scale pieces for the smaller panels. The vents at the top are from disposable razor covers, the bolts are those clip buttons you get on the 1/6 scale clothing and the guide tracks on the inside of the door are pieces of plasti-rod. The ladder is again cut pieces of wire coat hanger cut to size then bent to the correct size.

New to this forum and just thought that I would show you all the figure's that I have done over the years, some of you know my work already but for those that haven't enjoy and comments are always welcomed.

I have added a link as there are alot of pics so I figured that this would be the best way for you all to see them.

Started on the dewback and rider the other day and thought that I would show some pics. As you all know I can't stand joints being shown so I used a clay mixed with wood glue to fill in the joints.

The saddle is made using thin cork board then covered in leather and the bum rest is from a WW2 German life jacket. I'm going to pack this dewback and rider with heaps of gear as I'm going to make it a long recon unit.

Post by: hangarbay94 on March 25, 2010, 02:50:09 AM: Hemble, your creations are in a completely different league...Posting these on sites like Armourama would seriously put to shame every one of thhose WW2 diorama guys and they are fussy as hell on the detail. The detail on your work is just stunning.

I'd love to see one of these in the flesh as I am sure that your photo's do not do them justice (not that the photography is bad, but I just get the feeling that your work would look even better in the flesh)...

Post by: spudafett on March 26, 2010, 09:46:00 PM: that dewback is going to look realy sweet when you finish it. Are you going to go with a traditional green dewback color scheme or try something a little more fancy?

The added packs and new saddle look realy good. The pose of the trooper on the new saddle looks 100 times better than the stock saddle and the pose required to put the figure on it.

LONG RANGE RECON SANDTROOPER

I've always wanted on of the Hasbro's 1/6 Dewbacks and when I finally got one I just had to redo it. When I started this project I wanted I Dewback carrying more then just a sack or two, so I started adding heaps of gear and transformed the Dewback and Sandtrooper into a Long Range Recon unit. And as always the figures and scenery have been painted, drybrushed and weathered using Vallejo, Games workshop paints and pastels.

RECIPE

Figure - The whole figure is from Medicom except the body which is an old Sideshow Body and the hands which are from Sidsshow Indiana Jones figure with the armour added from the Medicom figure. The extra gear on the Sandy is the map case and bino case which are both from Dragon models.

Dewback - The Dewback is from Hasbro I removed the old rubber reins and gave it some leather reins from the parts box. The clips are from some 1/6 WW2 German bread bags and the O-rings are again from the parts box.

The water bottles are from a WW1 Aussie Light Horse man, and the rest of the bags and gear are from some WW2 British and German figures from Dragon. The long Range communication device is from Hasbro's STAP Droid.

The Blastech RT-97c Heavy Blaster Rifle is from Sideshow Toys and the carry bag for it has been made from leather and left over straps.

Base - The base is from an old desk I had in the garage and the rocky/snady terrian is made from plaster of paris with wood glue added and fine sand and kitty litter added for texture.

Yeah mate I used a clay called DAS it's for kids. Firstly super glue the joints so that they can't move at all, then just get some clay and spread it out like you are making cookies then get some woodglue and pour some into the middle.

Once you have done that spread the woodglue all over the laid out clay and start folding and kneading the clay, Once you have done that start filling in the gaps. The reason I use woodglue with the clay is that once mixed into the clay it doesn't crack they clay when it expands or shrinks.

Yeah bro it's the 12" one I do have the 3-3/4" one and will do somethin with that soon. And sorry mate I don't have the Hasbro sandy that comes with it as I don't have it anymore.

Post by: Mike Cypress on March 29, 2010, 08:38:34 PM: Cool man. I am going to try that on 1 of my 10,000 Greedo's that I have 1st before I try it on something expensive. I also heard a mixture of super glue and baking soda. I hate all the joints showing in the figures nowadays. I don't want all the articulation in my figures, I just want detail. I also heard the same thing about superglueing the joints into the position you want to keep it from moving. Thinks for the tips.

Post by: XizorsVirago on March 29, 2010, 10:06:16 PM: wow, that Dewback looks a thousand times better! Makes me want to clay/glue over my POTF 3 3/4" dewback's useless joints, because that looks soooo much better! Won't be much of a loss really, since his feet only sit flat on the ground when the legs are in one spot anyways, haha! My TaunTaun's legs face a similar problem, they might just get clayed too!

hangarbay94 - Damn I didn't realize you loved me that much mate ;D I haven't given up on SW customs altogether I just need to finish of some customs that have been on the shelf collecting dust.

I have been doing other projects that I have been putting up in the miscellaneous custom section so you can still get a little hemble ;) till the SW custom/dio's are back.

darknsour - Thanks for the kind words mate and glad you have been enjoying the customs.

Post by: Tamer on April 30, 2010, 04:33:48 PM: I think I can echo Jules' sentiment that we sure do love what you do with custom Star Wars. It will really be missed, but glad to see the hiatus is not permanent. I loved the look of the Indy dio and feature you are working on too. It really is a shame you cannot do this as a full time job. You just ooze talent. I have often thought of just what could happen if we got guys like you, Jules, Jay, Clint, Wayne, Pat, add any of the outstanding customizers we have seen here, and just let you guys play. I would feel like a kid at Christmas. Hopefully that shares a bit of my sentiment to what you and all of the outstanding customizers here mean to me personally.

I feel grateful for being alive in the time in which you create. You, sir, are amazing in every sense of the word.
Don't ever stop, because the world would cease to spin without you. I realize this seems over the top, but you are beyond words.
Super fan doesn't even start to describe how much I, and millions, if not billions, love your work. (OK, that may be too far, but you really are a wonder!)

Post by: hemble on July 21, 2010, 11:26:37 PM: Hi All

Well finally a SW custom enjoy and as always comments welcomed.

In 2006 I maid a 3-3/4" version of this figure and I always wanted to do a 12" version but never could find the right gear and equipment until Sideshow started making the 12" Sandtroopers. When I made the small version I kept thinking something was missing and when I started on this figure I knew straight away it was extra armour.

I kept along the same guide lines as the smaller version except I added chest and shoulder armour and decided not to go with having a bear head as I did with the smaller version. I also gave him extra gear and once I got the look I wanted I painted and weathered him and the dio using Vallejo paints and pastels.

RECIPE

Figure - The figure is from Sideshow Toys except the map case and flight suit which is from Dragon which as been dyed black. The weapons holster has been made from left over leather.

Base- The base is a picture frame from a two dollar shop, I used plaster with kitty litter and sand to do the ground work. The rebel helmet is from Sideshow and the small shrubs are from Woodland Scenics.

Post by: r1bb1t on July 21, 2010, 11:51:34 PM: You truly are a blessing, Ron. Your pix and posing always astound the masses, and we truly are thankful to see your gobsmacking( is that a term that you Aussies use?) work.
Thank you. Seriously, you are beyond belief. You originally inspired be me to reply to forums, so you are to blame for my posts. I first saw your work at Sandtroopers.com, and haven't looked back since.
I found myself quickly researching your work, calling my family to the computer to share my escalated pleasure, and it led me to your site, which I encourage anyone with a brain to visit, and I was knocked across the room from the level of expertise in customizing that I discovered.
People, I must warn you all to buckle yourself in if you find the courage to delve into this genuis' realm. Also, hold onto your jaws, because harm WILL come to you, if you underestimate my words.
Ron, "Legendary' is an understatement, to say the least. "Brilliant' doesn't come close to what you do.
Again, thank you, mate. I'll always be thankful, till the day I die, for seeing the beauty that you present.

Guys/Gals I would like your opion on a new 1/6 figure I'm doing, It's a battle droid that has been redsigned to be used as a sidekick for a Bounty Hunter.

I have only done the main frame design and have to add heaps more stuff but just wanted to get your guys/gals thoughts on it.

Post by: DanOfTheDead on April 24, 2011, 05:58:53 AM: I like it! It's looking really good. One thing you might try is turning the head around... the back of the Battle Droid head actually makes an interesting "face" for a droid. Dunno how recognizable as being a reconfigured battle droid you want it to be... the backwards head could help obscure that a little more.. But the current configuration looks great as is!

Well here it is guys enjoy and all comments welcomed as always and thanks for the input into this as well guys.
Ron.

Hi All

Had a few of the old Hasbro Battle and Pit Droids in the bits box and decided to make something out of them enjoy and comments always welcome.

After the fall of the Jedi Order the Empire put Bounties on all surviving Jedi's and their allies. One Bounty Hunter named Heltom Kehlin took on several jobs trying to track down the Jedi but the problem was the galaxy is a huge place, he was successful in a few captures and deaths but needed help.

He decided that he needed a partner but didn't want to share his profits and decided to get a droid to help him out, after looking at several models and not happy with them he decided to create his own. While looking thru junkyards and srcapheaps he noticed that there was an amazing abundance of used and destroyed Battle Droids left over from the war.

It was then he decided that he would make his droid out of old Battle Droid parts as there were plenty around for spare parts and they were very cheap. He set about creating a droid from used parts and came up with the BHD-001. Giving the droid the capability to think for it's self the droid turned out to very useful in helping capture the bounties they went after.

RECIPE

Figure - The figure is from Hasbro and has parts from the Battle Droid figure and also the Pit Droid as well, I have also used 1/35 scale parts for alot of the smaller details. The extra plating is from the Jango Fett figure from Hasbro and also pieces of plasti card, the tubing and wiring are from the bits box.

Base - The base is from a Indiana Jones figure from Sideshow and has been built up using putty then once dry it was painted and fine washed river sand was used to cover it. The droid and base were painted using GW and Vallejo paints and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels.

Post by: hemble on April 29, 2011, 05:51:54 PM: Hi All

I had a spare Endor soldier helmet, rifle and backpack sitting in the bits box and was wondering what I could do with them. I then remembered that I had a WW2 German snow outfit and thought it would be a great idea to combine the two.

This dio depicts Megust Vultii a Rebel soldier surveying a open field for Imperial movement on the planet of Daltorine a snow covered planet with forests and frozen lakes which can be very hazardous to heavy walkers. Even thou Daltorine can get down to -12% at night it is nowhere as cold as Hoth and also less snow storms as well.

RECIPE

Figure - The figure's body is a TLL.V3 with Sideshow hands and a Dragon head. As mentioned before the helmet, backpack and rifle are from Sideshow's Endor Troop, the outfit, boots and gloves are from Dragon.

The flak jacket is modern day and is from Dragon and the pouches, knife and small tech items are from Sideshow and Dragon.

I gave everything except the outfit and gloves a drybrush of matt white to combine everything together but not over doing it as I wanted to show that the gear was put together very quickly like they did during WW2 by adding bits and pieces from other pieces of equipement.

Base - The base is a picture frame from a Two Dollar shop, the ground work has been built up using plaster of paris and once dry was painted a light brown.

The shrubs are from an old straw broom I have in the garage I just cut off what I needed and tied the ends and inserted them into the plaster.

The snow is a mixture of GW and Woodland Scenics, I used wood glue/PVA and spread it around the base then poured the snow over the top of the glue. Once everything has dried I used Vallejo paints and pastels to paint and weather the dio and figure.

Post by: hemble on May 14, 2011, 10:09:46 PM: Hi All

I had a customer wanting 30 sandtroopers painted but he wanted a paint scheme that suited the sandy and rocky terrian of a desert planet like Tatooine. So after thinking about it a remembered I did an Imperial Assault Trooper years ago and decided to use the same helmet for the commander.

As for the paint scheme I wanted to go for a darker brown colour instead of a sand colour, so I went with the colour you see in the pics. He also wanted all the figures to be articulated which is not the norm for me as I like my 3-3/4" figures to be static but it did save time as I didn't have to sculpt the joints at all.

After I did the first figure I wanted to make a base to show the figure in it's enviroment, after he saw the Sandy he gave the ok to continue with the other 29 figures. As always I used Vallejo and GW paints and pastels to paint and weather the figure and base.

RECIPE

Figure - The figure is the 2010 vintage Sandy that came with the Dewback and the helmet I had in my parts box. I just added a holster from a VOTC Stormtrooper.

Base - The base I got from the craft store for 10 cents and the moisture evaporator is from hasbro which was pulled apart to give it a different look. The collector panels are 1/72 scale plastic roof panels.

The base was built up with plaster and woodglue/PVA and sand was added while it was drying, once dry the whole thing was painted and weathered.

I just love your parts selection and the paint job is top notch - as always. Also I am blown away by the little dio, I always like figures to be displayed with some set parts, even small ones.
Instant fave and up on my list of inspirations!!! ;)

Guys thank you all very much for all the great feedback. I actually enjoyed having the figures articultaed especially in small dios as this so expect to see more in the future.

Jedi Minstrel - mate the TAKE COVER dio with the endor trooprs damn that was a long time ago and glad you still enjoyed that dio.

spudafett - I think it's based on a baccura helmet just with a Sandtrooper version.

Trandoshanslaver1138 - It's a Sandtrooper and the colour is Biege Brown from Vallejo Paints and then dark brown and light brown pastels used over the top of that.

Post by: hemble on May 18, 2011, 02:51:15 AM: Hi All

Nothing to over the top just a simple repaint and weather and a new dio. I had a lot of people email me ask if I was going to start doing more figures and articulation like I did for the Assualt Sandtrooper custom below. The answer to that is yes and there will be a lot more to come on.

As everyone knows I'm more of a static figure customizer/diorama maker and when I was commissioned to do a lot of Sandtrooper paint apps I got hooked on doing more articulated figures after finishing them.

So I thought I would start of by doing a articulated figure of my favourite SW character the figure and dio were painted using Vallejo and GW paints and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels.

RECIPE

Figure - The figure is the 2010 vintage Sandy that came with the Dewback and was painted and weathered with no conversions done to it except the rifle which as had a longer barrel put on it from a 1/72 scale tank barrel.

Base - The base I got from the craft store for 10 cents and the moisture evaporator is from hasbro which was pulled apart to give it a different look. The base was built up with plaster and woodglue/PVA and sand was added while it was drying, once dry the whole thing was painted and weathered.

I second that! The customs themselves are great but the length you go to to add a mini diorama just adds to their epicness. (and the fact that I have always loved the sandtroopers justs adds to my love of your most recent works...)

Just thought I would some WIP of 1/6 Darth Zannah I'm doing for a client and a big thanks to Darth Daddy for passing the customer my way cheers bro.

As you can see from the pics the clothing and saber are all complete, the head came with the figure and I was hoping to be able to dye teh hair blonde some how but without any luck so I decided to paint the face up with the pale skin and tatoo's to see how it look until the new head arrives.

Enjoy the WIP guys/gals and once I get the new head and do it up I'll post pics.

Post by: hemble on January 11, 2012, 08:46:48 PM: Hi All

This was a commission piece that a friend asked me to make and after he sent me a few links of the character I straight away took up the project and because I've never done a female figure before.
This was a great little project to do and once I got the desired look the figure was painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints.

RECIPE

Figure - The robes and tights are from D-Art Studios http://www.d-artstudios.com/index.htm (http://www.d-artstudios.com/index.htm) and Deniz does an amazing job. The body, head, hands and boots I got from ebay and the saber has been made using some old Hasbro blades with a custom hilt made from plasti card and bits and pieces from the parts box.

The tunic is made using one of my wifes old shirts which was cut to the desired shape and dyed, the belt is some old cloth and leather and then painted black.

Damn I can't belive it's been this long since I posted anything in my figure section well the drought is over. Alot of you might remember this commissioned dio (below) I did a few years ago. I decided to do a 6" version of the Firestorm Trooper, I attached a few WIP and I'm hoping to have this completed by the weekend.

Post by: hemble on October 19, 2013, 11:48:56 PM: Hi All,

Well he's complete so enjoy and I'll have more 6" figure soon.

When Hasbro put out the Star Wars 6" black series figure I had to get myself some of the Sandtroopers to customize and put on dios, I also decided that I would make a few different type of troopers as well. The first one I decided to build was a Firestorm Trooper, I did a commission 3-3/4" dio a few years ago (dio in my dio section) and there was a Firestorm Trooper on that so between that figure and a few reference pics I got of the net a 6" version was created.

RECIPE

Figure/Equipment - The figure is from the Hasbro 6" Black Series, I used gloves from a Marvel figure and the face mask is a 3-3/4" Cloud car pilot helmet, I used the chest section are from a Hasbro 12" Darth Vader and a section of the 6" Sandtrooper. The tubing from the chest section to the face mask is from a Madelman scuba diver figure and the tubing around the chest are from Star Trek Enterprise EVO suits.

The straps around the chest and next are from some 12" rifles straps, the flamethrower backpack was made using the 6" Sandtrooper one and pulling all the parts off and turning it upside down. The lower tank is a cut in half 1/35 60 gallon drum and the longer thinner tank is a part from a 1/35 scale tank and added some tubing again from the Enterprise EVO suits.

The two large control sections are from the 6" Sandtrooper back pack and they have had the extra plastic removed from the back of them and re-attached. The tubing from the tanks to the flamethrower is some cheap rubber chube, I used a 12" sandtrooper rifle section for the main part of the flamethrowe and added bits and pieces drom the parts box.

The small flames are from a 3-3/4" Mola Ram figure which he has a flaming heart so I cut two sections from that and made it so they can be removed. The blaster comes with the Sandtrooper figure and the holster was made using left over pleather. The Karma was made from a 12" cheap Superman cape and the straps are pieces of elastic and the buckle is from a 1/72 scale tank.

Base - The base is and older dio which was damged so I'm using it to display the figure. The base is from a two doller shop and then had plaster of paris added, while the plaster was setting I placed two branchs which are from my back garden into the plaster and let dry.

Once dry fine sand and kitty litter was added and static grass followed that, when all was dry I painted and weathered the grass and dirt using Vallejo paints and pastels, the bushs are from woodland scenics and the larger bushes are fish tank plants which I got from the local pet shop.

Thanks heaps mate and glad you like it.

The 6" figures are $34-$35 each here so I usually just layby them or if someone buys my customs I will buy something straight away. Or I do trades if someone wants someting made I tell them how much it will cost and depending who it is I'll offer them the money or a trade.

Post by: hemble on November 02, 2013, 04:28:56 AM: Hi All,

When I started on this figure I wanted to visualize what a Harden Imperial Trooper would look like after surviving countless battles and re-designing his armour and equipment to suit he's needs.

RECIPE

Figure/Equipment - The figure is from the Hasbro 6" Black Series, I removed the shoulder/bicep area's and replaced them with the shoulders/biceps from a Marvel Wolverine figure. The torn bodysuit on the arms were done by using black balloons and cutting the ballon to simulate the torn suit.

The belt was modified by cutting the rectangle cartridges and replace them with small American WW2 pouches, I also used a larger Ameriacn WW2 on the back and two pouches from a 6" Marvel figure. The knife is again from a 6" Marvel figure and the sheath was made using left over pleather.

The E-11 blaster has had an extended magazine to it, the DLT-19 has been modified but removing around 1cm of the barrel and re-attaching it and the carbon scouring and damage on the armour was done by using a dremel.

I also added a magazine to the blaster and also a scope again from some Marvel figures, I made the sling by using green elastic and the front and back sling clips on the blaster were made using thin wire, I used some left over material for the chest area and attached the magazines to it.

Base - The base is and older dio which was damged so I'm using it to display the figure. The base is from a two doller shop and then had plaster of paris added, while the plaster was setting I placed two branchs which are from my back garden into the plaster and let dry.

Once dry fine sand and kitty litter was added and static grass followed that, when all was dry I painted and weathered the grass and dirt using Vallejo paints and pastels, the bushs are from woodland scenics and the larger bushes are fish tank plants which I got from the local pet shop.

This time around I decided I would repaint the Hasbro 6" Sandy and go back to my statue type figures/dioramas as I think they look way better with the joints covered.

RECIPE

Figure/Equipment - The figure is from the Hasbro 6" Black Series and it was put into the pose you see and the joints were superglued and the puttied up using AVES - Fixit Sculpt, I was very impressed with the product as it is so easy to work with and I highly recommend it and a BIG THANKS to lucasclones (Chad) for all the advise with this product thanks buddy. Once the putty had dried I painted and weathered the figure and gear using Vallejo, GW paints and pastel chalks.

Base - The base was built up using high density foam and then plaster cloth was used to cover the base and the plaster cloth was also used to make the rocky outcrop. The small shrubs are from Army Painter and are the wasteland type and the small creature is from the Diamond Select Star Trek Wrath of Khan figures. Again once I got the look I wanted the base was painted and weathered using Vallejo, GW paints and pastel chalks.

Post by: Spookymufu on November 27, 2013, 06:51:16 PM: that looks great! My only critique would be to lower the backpack to a more movie accurate location, the figure by default has the backpack mounted too high on the back, I assume it's for a future release of a dewback but it's just too high for screen accuracy

Post by: hemble on January 02, 2014, 08:06:27 PM: Hi All,

When I started this Sandtrooper I wanted to do something a little different so I decided to make him with his helmet off and his standing around relaxing until his Dewback is ready. The figure and base were painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints and pastels.

RECIPE

Figure/Equipment - The figure is from the Hasbro 6" Black Series and was put into a nice casual pose and then the joints were susuperglued and then the joints were covered using AVES Fixit sculpt, the head is from the bits box and was original a punisher head.

The backpack and rifle are from the 6" Black Series Sandtrooper and I used small 1/6 clips and O-rings to attached the sling which is some left over leather. The shock stick was from the old 3/34" sandtrooper and I just removed the handgrip.

Base - The base is from a Sideshow Sandtrooper figure and the walls were cut out from foamcore and glued into place and the plaster of paris was used to cover the walls. The sand is a 50/50 mixer of sand and plaster with a little PVA glue and was spread across the base to till I got the look I wanted.

Mate for the walls that depends on two things are you use the bases for just display with so I would go with the plaster/PVA mix as I use this method due to the fact that mine are really for display only.

If you are going to use the bases as a play piece I would go for the spackle as it is alot stronger and would take the knocks better. I hop this helped and if you need and other help just let me know.

Figure - Solo is from Hasbro's 6" Black Series line and was given a repaint to show how good the detail on these figures are. The figure was painted using Vallejo and GW paints.

Post by: hemble on April 13, 2014, 09:26:03 PM: Hi All,

I've had Greedo sitting in the parts box for a while now and decided that I would display him on a small Tatooine diorama. The figure and base were both painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints and pastel chalks.

RECIPE

Figure - Greedo is from Hasbro's 6" Black Series line and once I got the desired pose the joints were superglued and then puttied.

Base - The base was done using left over high density foam, I used plaster of paris with a small amount of fine sand and PVA glue and mixed the lot togther and then added it to the walls and step. The sand floor was done buy adding the left over plaster mix and once dry adding some fine sand.

The panelling on the top of the wall was done by using some left over clip holders from a GW game board. The light element on the left hand side is from the Hasbro 6" Sandtrooper backpack and the pipes are from a 1/20 scale figure kit.

Title: Re: Hemble's Figure's - Greedo 6" - P27 14/04/14
Post by: hemble on April 29, 2014, 02:30:44 AM: Hi All,

While on a routine patrol in the Melholtor System Luke's X-wing begins to navigation and thruster malfuctions, he and R2D2 try to repair the problem but to no avail. Luke decides that he will have to make a force landing on the 3rd planet of the Melholtor System and sends a distress call.

After the force landing in a small and shallow waterway Luke picks up a signal of a incoming landing craft and thinking it to be a Rebel Search and Rescue craft he is soon relizing that a Imperial Scout Shuttle has picked up his distress call and now are on his way to his location.

After ordering R2 to stay with the ship Luke starts to head of and find the Imperial crew but it only takes a few minutes before he realizes that they have found him so Luke pulls out his Light Saber ready to defend himself, R2 and his ship.

RECIPE

Figure - Luke is from Hasbro's 6" Black Series line and was positioned into a pose I liked and then the joints were superglued and then puttied. Instead of painting over the figure I firstly added thin strips of tissue paper by applying watered down PVA glue the tissue to give the outfit a more fabric feel to it, once the tissue paper had dried I painted and weathered the figure using Vallejo and GW paints.

Base - The base was done using left over foam core layered ontop of each other and glue togther using superglue. Once dry I marked out the feet and helmet areas and then cut the foam and removed the foam, I then inserted the figure and helmet using superglue.

The water was done by using plaster of paris to cover the base and just before the plaster dried I used a plastic spoon and lightly flicked it over the plaster to simulate movement in the water. I then used Woodland Scenics Water Effects went over the plaster waves so that it would give more of a ripple affect.

The ground work was done by using dirt and mulch from the garden and the plants and undergrowth are plastic fishtank plants and Army painter shrubs. Once all the plants were added the water was painted using GW paints and once dry I then used Woodland scenics Realistic Water mix with a little falt white to give the water affects a more frothy look.

Thanks Shawn and as you know I have done figures in the past with articulation but honestly never been a huge fan of that type style. I love it when the joints are filled and the figure is on a nice dio and as you said it looks so realistic, but if you have the same figure on the same dio with the joints left alone you aren't going to get the same re-action.

How do you come up with all these scenarios?

It's funny you ask that, it really depends on the figure I'm doing at the time. With Luke I wanted him to be wielding his light saber so I get the pose I want and then superglue all the joints and once I have done that I then decide what type of scenery I want for him and what time frame it will be around and then I go from there.

I very rarely wright down or draw sketches I just go off the imagination and picture what the scene will look like and go from there, I will do research thou into how water would look like in different depths or look at real at how vegetation will look near the egde of water ways etc.

Post by: hemble on May 22, 2015, 09:46:07 PM: Hi All,

Haven't done just a figure for a long time and I just finished C-3PO and decided to take some pics of him with my Sandtrooper diorama that I'm doing.

C-3PO - Is from Bandai and have to say that this is such an awesome kit and only took me 45 minutes to complete him. I decided to give him SW EP-IV look when he was Tatooine and did this by giving him some black washes and once dry I then used pastel chalks to complete the weathering.

The wiring, palms of his hands and the eyes were painted using Vallejo paints. I also made some wires so that the arm can be removed and the wires pushed in to simulate when his arm got pulled off when the Tusken Raider attacked.

Well finally up and about using crutches, I can't carry anything for my usual outdoor pics so indoor ones will have to do until I get rid of the crutches and I can walk on my own.

Here is my repainted R5-D4 which I repainted into a Imperial Astromech R6-H8, he was painted using Tamiya matt black spray paint and then I used GW paints for the rest and weathered him using pastels. I also gave him some chips on the silver areas by lightly chipping the paint away using a model knife.

I decided to build another Sullust Trooper after the first one I did was for a commission. This time round I found a pic of a full body Trooper and decided to him here are some WIP and a pic of the actual trooper.

The Trooper is Bandai's Stormtrooper, the rifle and pauldron are from Bandai's Sandtrooper. The hose is from Hasbro's 6" BS speeder bike, I built the back back, respirator, hose connection and shin guards from plasti card.

Now all I have to do is paint and weather him.

If you want the gloss armour look on the BS 6" Troopers try using a gloss spray and then paint the black areas.

For those that haven't recieved the Bandai Sandtrooper yet, I was curious to see if the Sandtrooper's helmet was different to their Stormtrooper helmet and I have to give them TWO THUMBS UP it doesn't disappoint.

The brow section is a seperate piece and is a soft plastic which clips into the side of the helmet and is movable. I have taken three pics to show the different variations you could do.

Is it a spray paint you use, or straight up brushed on? Also, what white paint do you use? I might run out and get what you use, since it looks incredible.

Post by: hemble on September 09, 2015, 01:26:18 AM: Hi All,

Here is some WIP pics of the new Trooper figure I wanted to and you guys know how much I love Trooper variations and I have been wanting to do the new Trooper from the I.M.P.S trailer over on there website.

I don't know the official name of this Trooper design but I really liked it especially with all the gear he has on him.

Recipe

The figure is Bandai's Stormtrooper built straight from the box, I used the pauldron from the Bandai Sandtrooper kit.

The pouches are from various Marvel figures and also a 1/35th scale pouch, I used some left over leather for the harness around the back of the waist. The left shoulder pad was made using some old rubber 1/6th belts which were cut to size and shape and the small.

The pouch on the chest is from a Marvel figure and the small white sections are plasti card which will be painted and there is a very small skull I trimmed off a 40K Cadian figure.

The garters are made from cloth and the straps are leather cut to length and width and the buckles are 1/35th scale German Jerry can caps.

Post by: hemble on September 10, 2015, 06:45:19 PM: Hi All,

Here I is the completed I.M.P.S trooper, I painted and weathered him using Vallejo and GW paints and pastel chalks.

The base is from the Bandai trooper with plasti card edging and the ground work was built up using putty. I used real rocks, grass and dirt to cover the base and the small shrubs are from Army Painter.

I was able to get hold of two TFA Troopers and decided to paint and weather one up, these are just quickie pics and I will have my normal outdoor pics tomorrow. I also made a desert/barren base for him and as per my son's request he will still have his articulation.

Post by: hemble on September 29, 2015, 06:29:56 PM: Hi All,

Here are my usual outdoor pics and the trooper was painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints and Pastels.

The base is from a old DVD container with a foam core insert and then the ground was built up using a mix of plaster of paris, sand and small stones, the larger stones are from the garden and pushed into the plaster mix while still wet.

Once dry I then painted and weathered the base using Vallejo paints and Pastels and the small shrubs are from Army Painter.

Thanks again Shawn and to be honest if I didn't see these physically I would have given them a miss but I'm glad I picked them up. I also series 1 TFA 6" figures coming and I really want to go back to my statue type diorama's again and the Hasbro 6" figure are perfect for it.

Cheers buddy and sorry I don't have a second Chewie for a comparison shot but this is how I painted the pelt.

1 - Used Games Workshops Scorched Brown and painted the whole figure.
2 - Dry brushed with Vallejo's Beige Brown about four coats.
3 - I then used Games Workshops Snakebite Leather to high light the lighter fur.
4 - I then used Games Workshops Chaos Black for the darker fur.
5 - I then used a mix of Chaos Black and Matt White and mixed until I got a charcoal look and dry brushed that over the dark fur to high light it.
6 - I then mixed snake bite leather and beige brown 50/50 and very lightly dry brushed the lighter fur.

Thought I show a little project that I'm doing with a Bandai Stormtrooper which I've nearly completed painting it into a Shocktrooper.

The figure and weapons are straight out of the box and to paint him I used Vallejo paints. I still have a little painting to do on the black areas and then build the base which should be completed on the weekend and then I will get my usual outdoor pics done.

Post by: hemble on December 05, 2015, 10:19:46 PM: Hi All,

Here is the completed Shock Trooper.

Recipe

Trooper - is from Bandai straight out of the box and I used rubber black balloons to cover the joints up. I used Vallejo, P3 Paints and pastel chalks to weather him.

Base - is the base that comes with the figure and I added balsa wood sides to raise it a little. For the ground work I used a mixer of spakfilla, model railway grass and dirt from the garden and mixed it all together and once mixed I then added PVA and Dark brown paint.

Once the ground work was dry I then used model railway grass to add an extra layer and then used plastic fish tank plants which I gave a medium green wash to and then attached them to the base. The small tufts of grass are from Army painter which were attached by adding a small amount of superglue.

Completed another kit last night and this time round it's the Bandai Scout Trooper.

Recipe

Trooper and Speeder - are from Bandai and are built straight from the box and have been painted and weathered using Vallejo and Game Workshop paints and pastel chalks.

Base - The base is the one that comes with the Scout Trooper and I used balsa wood for the edges and to raise it up a little.

The ground work was done by mixing spakfilla, brown paint, PVA glue, dirt, crushed up leaves and model railway grass and it was then mixed together, I used large fish tank plants for the large plants which have been given a wash using a medium green and the small log is from the garden. I used model railway grass for the under layer and then used small tufts of grass which are from Army painter.

Thanks mate and yeah I find Airbrushes are to high maintenance as well, the spray cans work great as long as you give them a good shake and stand back and give the model good even coats.

I love using brushes thou as I can control how and where I want the paint to go and I've been doing models and customs for over 35yrs using brushes it's just second nature.

Post by: hemble on December 10, 2015, 04:56:20 AM: Hi All,

I have completed the Shadow Trooper and decided to give him less silver over the helmet and just keep it simple. I also gave him a good battle weathered look by giving his armour chipped paint over his suit.

Instead of the Balloon covers for the joints I gave him cloth joint covers, The base is something that I just made up in about 2 hours and the canisters are empty asthma buffers. All I have to do now is paint the base and the canisters.

Post by: hemble on December 11, 2015, 08:44:37 PM: Hi All,

Here are my usual outdoor pics.

Recipe

Trooper - is from Bandai and has the pauldron is from the Bandai Sandtrooper kit and the ammo pouches are from the Hasbro Sandtrooper, I used cloth instead of balloons to cober up the joints.

The trooper was given a coat of medium grey and then sprayed metallic black, I then gave it chipped armour by dapping flat black and then a mix of silver and black were I first dapped the flat black.

Base - is from the Bandai trooper kit, I added balsa wood sides and then built the wall using plasti card and greeblies from my bits box. The containers are asthma puffers which I cut the plastic top off and added 1/72 tank parts to the top. The tubes running across the floor are from an old cables I had in the cupboard.

The base was sprayed dark grey and then drybrushed medium grey and then drybrushed again with light grey and then a mix of light grey/flat black and gun metal was used to give the wall a old weathered look.

Cheers bro and the semi gloss turned out better then I hoped. I had to use a craft matt varnish on it to achieve that look as testors just dull's it down just to much.

Started on a small vignette of a Rogue One Shore trooper.

Everything is from Bandai except the lower legs and waist sections which is a Funko Rockteer figure.

The Scout troopers helmet as been trimmed down and I have started to putty the helmet before a start adding plastic card.

The chest section has been built up using plastic card and will be puttied and sanded.

I have put the Shore Trooper next to Bob for size comparison.

Post by: hemble on August 24, 2016, 02:12:48 AM: Hi All,

No to much of an update. I finished the chest section and have covered the joints on the legs and have started on the back of the armour.

I have also started adding plastic card and putty to the helmet so that I can shape it and then start adding the rest of the armour it the helmet.

If your wondering why I have only painted sections of him it because painting the areas I have sanded makes it easier to spot any cracks or uneven areas.

Post by: hemble on October 05, 2016, 03:16:03 AM: Hi All,

I did these two figures a little while back and finally got them on their bases.

They are both Bandai kits built straight out of the box and have stockings cut out to cover the joints.

The Sandtrooper base is balsa wood with a mix of spakfilla, PVA glue and sand mixed and added to the base and then it was painted using Vallejo's Iraqui Sand.

The Stormtrooper base is balsa wood with spakfilla used to cover the base then potty mix was used to cover the base. I then used model railway static grass and then gave it a few washes of Vallejo's Medium Green, I used plastic plants form JOEFIX STUDIOS and the ferns are 1:1 scale plastic ferns which I cut the tips off and gave them and the other plastic plants a a few washes of Vallejo's Dark Green.

The figures and equipment were painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

Post by: hemble on October 12, 2016, 05:36:01 AM: Hi All,

I got two Hasbro 6" Death Troopers and decided to do a the scene attached. I am 90% complete and just need to add weathering and also complete the base.

The base so far is a piece of balsa wood and I used spakfilla to cover it and once dry I used PVA glue and covered it using fine sand.

The figure so far as had the joints glued and then puttied and the small pouches across the stomach are some WW2 1/35 pieces. The grenades at the front are WW2 1/35 gas mask with greeblies attached to the top.

The pauldron is from Hasbro and the pouch on the left shoulder is from Bandai. I swapped out the weapons and gave them Bandai weapons and the rifle was shortened and then pieces from other Bandai weapons were glued on.

The small stormtrooper doll was made use high density foam and tooth picks. I'll have this completed tomorrow and time permitting I'll get my usual outdoor pics.

How do you do tufts of grass? I have pre-made, and then sometimes I carefully glue them with delicate finger handling. I've seen the railroad guys using a method of electricity and magnetism to get large areas of grass to stick straight up to get a more realistic look. I haven't tried that method yet, as I haven't tried replicating a grasslands and meadow.

Cheers Buddy and for the tuft of grass I just buy the pre-made ones as it's just easier for me to buy them. I have seen the electricity method done and you can make a lot of them but for me it time consuming.

Post by: hemble on October 15, 2016, 04:10:51 AM: Hi All,

Latest custom/ dio is another Hasbro Death Trooper on Scarif, I decided to keep this just a basic Death Trooper and the only thing I did was give it two new hands and pistol from Bandai and drilled out the muzzle.

The joints were glued and covered and I used Tamiya's Metallic Black for the armour and used Vallejo, GW paints and pastel chalks to paint and weather him.

The base is Balsa wood cut to size and then I used a 50-Sand/40-Spakfilla/10-Iraqui mix for the sand and once dry a dry brushed it Pale Sand. The larfe foilage is from Woodland Scenics and the medium plants are from JoeFix Studios and the small tufts of grass are from Amry Painter.

Post by: hemble on October 17, 2016, 04:09:31 AM: Hi All,

New project this time about I'm doing three small separate dio's that can be put together to make larger one. I have glued all Captain Andor's joints and filled the joints in with putty, K-S20 has just had his joints glued except for the chest and head. I still to get my hands on Jyn and I can do the same to her as I have done to Andor.

The bases are pieces of balsa wood cut to size and the back ground buildings are done from foam board and I just need to add a few greeblies and the paint everything.

I'm okay to go with "interchangeable bases for figures" or I.B.F.s - alright, maybe I'm having too much fun joking around about names, I'll stop now. :-) I really like the concept a lot; it's a great idea.

Post by: hemble on October 20, 2016, 02:05:45 PM: Hi All,

Did a little more work on the Jedha bases and was finally able to get my hands on Erso. I made a few blaster holes by getting a model knife and cutting odd shapes into the foam board and then just pulling the cut sections out.

I also removed some of the cardboard and then using a pencil made some stone by pressing into the foam. The walls were covered in a 85/15 mix of spakfilla an paint and once the walls were done I used what was left over of the mix and added some sand and spread that over the base.

Post by: hemble on October 21, 2016, 01:29:59 AM: Hi All,

I client asked me if I could make him a Galen Marek figure a while back but I haven't been able to find a head that looked ok until I went thru an old bits box I had in the garage. The head is from and old Call of duty 6" figure that came out a few years ago.

The figure is 90% complete and just needs painting and then the base to be done. The figure is fully articulated and I used pieces of cloth to wrap around the boots, hands and arms. The belts are pieces of pleather and the back and front karmas? are pieces of leather, I used greenstuff to make tears in the shirt.

The shoulder piece is from Hasbro's BS Vader as was cut to size so it would fit the shoulder correctly. The base so far is made using Bandai bases and the troopers will be cut to fit the base and they are from Hasbro BS 6".

Marek is 90% complete I just need to add a little bit more weathering to the outfit. I had a look at a lot of pics of Marek and his face seemed to be pale so I went with that and I'm very happy with the way it looks but I sent these pic to the client to see if he likes the look of the skin.

The figure and base are complete. I made the base using Bandai stands and adding plastic tile strips around the edges, I added plastic sheet for the floor and a piece of plastic tile.

The pole in the corner was made using a lid and a 1/35 tank wheel and the pole is some plastic tube. The troopers are from Hasbro and the E-11 is from Bandai and I glued the joints and puttied up the joints and the saber cuts were done by using a soldering iron.

Just completed this one last night.

Recipe

Trooper - is from Bandai and is 1:6 scale, I built it straight out of the box and was weathered using Vallejo and Army Painter paints and Pastel Chalks.

The rifle was given a sling made using a strip og leather and o-rings and a buckle and clip from some 1:6 parts I had in my bits box.

The pauldron and ammo pouch are from a Sideshow Toys Sandtrooper and the right hand holding the E-11 is also from the Sideshow Sandtooper and I removed the armour plating and swapped it out for Bandai one that came with the kit.

Clone Trooper Fordo was a commission for a friend in the States.

He wanted a mix of the cartoon and newer show mixed together and he also didn't want a lot of battle damage done to him.

Recipe

Trooper - is from Bandai and is built straight out of the box, the range finder on the helmet was made using plastic rod and a thick piece of plastic.

The shoulder pads were made using cardboard and thin plastic card and the ammo pouch is from a Hasbro Sandtrooper. The back pack was made using pieces from a Bandai Sand trooper, 1/35 scale parts and plastic card.

The Karma was from the Bandai Shore Trooper kit and the straps are pieces of elastic and the holsters were made from teh Bandai Storm Trooper kit.

The pistols were made using the pistols and the DLT-19 rifle from the Bandai Storm Trooper kit and the rocket on the left arm was made from pieces of plastic.

Base - is the one I used for my batman photo's and was made using foam, plastic rod and the ground work is a mix of sand and spakfilla

Boba Fett - The Mandalorian 1:12 scale.

Recipe.

Fett - is a Hasbro BS 6" Fett from TESB except for the legs which are from A New Hope Kenobi, I used dried baby wipes for the cloth sections and the belt I used cloth elastic and then glued the rounds one which are plastic rod and then used a strip of pleather for the rounds holders.

The holster is for a Hasbro BS 6" figure and the gun was also from Hasbro with plastic rod and plastic card to finish of the weapon and the tubes on the right arm are from and old 1:6 scale Secret Agent ear piece. I removed the range finder from the helmet and removed the arm from the finder and replaced it with plastic strip and reattached the finder.

Base - is a mold I used from Woodland Scenics and the tufts of grass are from Gamer Grass.

1:1 scale head.

Recipe.

Head - was printed of by a mate who wants to display the head inside his Vader helmet and we both
decided that Sith eyes would look way better then normal eyes. I painted the figure using Vallejo Paints and I then added resin with a touch of red and covered the eyes with it.

The Vader figure is 6" scale to show the scale of the head.

Thanks buddy and I think that doing a lot of figures in 1:72, 1:35, 1:18, 1:12, 1:10 and 1:6 scale helped me a lot plus doing it for over 40 yrs sure improves your technic for sure. Glad you like the eyes and I usually just add clear gloss to them but decided to do the resin this time and I'm so glad that I did.

Post by: hemble on May 01, 2021, 01:57:49 AM: Hi All,

Damaged Darth Vader roughly 1:18 scale.

This figure is a SW Legion custom miniature which shows the scale it was enlarged to next to a SW Legion Sandtrooper and Vader is made by SkullforgeStudios https://gumroad.com/skullforgestudios and I asked GarfiesGames https://www.ebay.com.au/str/garfiesgames who distribute the figures here in Australia to size him up to around 4" which roughly is 1:18 scale.

I painted and weathered him using Vallejo Paints and Pastel chalks and the base is from Mattel Jurassic Park Amber collection and was also painted and weathered.

Post by: hemble on March 01, 2022, 11:17:09 PM: Hi All,

Imperial Remnant Trooper 1:12 scale from concept art on google.

Recipe.

Trooper - is the trooper from the Mandalorian series and is from Hasbro's Black series line and I trimmed down his bicep and thigh armour to fit the shirt and pants which are from GPSLOT on Ebay and I trimmed them down so they would fit the figure. I dyed the clothes and once dry gave them a light brown dry brush and the scarf is some old cloth I had in my parts box and the garters where made using another piece of cloth in the parts parts and then painted.

The belt is a Jango Fett belt with holsters removed and then I added different pouches and pieces from the parts box, the weapon was made using different weapon parts form the Black series line with some plastic and plastic rod added and the sling is a piece of pleather with strips of baby wipes added.

Base - is high density foam cut to size and the blaster is an old Bandai blaster I had in my parts box and the helmet in the sand was from an older project which was painted and weathered.
The sand was done my mixing spakfilla with blended potty mix and mixed and applied to the base and while it was still wet I sprinkled fine sand over it and then painted it.

Remnant Trooper Version 2, 1:12 scale.

Recipe.

Trooper - is from Hasbro's 6" Black series as is the poncho which was painted brown and the blaster and holster. The DLT-Heavy blaster is from Bandai and the side bag is from a COD WW2 figure, the sling and straps were made using pleather and the pouches are from Marvel/Black Series/Bandai figures.

Base - is made from Plaster and I used a rubber mould from Woodland Scenics and both the figure and base were painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Post by: hemble on February 07, 2023, 05:27:55 AM: Hi All,

Imperial Navy Commando Commander 1:12 scale.

Recipe.

Figure - the resin parts are from Syndicate Customs https://syndicatecustoms.com.au/ and the prints are awesome I highly recommend their products. The body is a knock stormtrooper which has had his body/legs/arms all sanded down then a jumpsuit was made using some old cotton shorts and then the armour was attached over the body and the figure was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Base - is high density foam and the walls were printed by a friend and painted using Vallejo Paints and the floor was painted black and then clear contact was attached to the floor while the paint was drying to adhere better.

Ron

Post by: Starchaser on February 08, 2023, 04:08:12 PM: I loved these 3.75" figures when they first came out. Its cool someone is printing the armor for larger figures. Your trooper looks great. The paint job is excellent. Kudos on the jumpsuit aswell.

Post by: JDeck on February 08, 2023, 06:48:09 PM: Looks great! I always thought they were a cool design. Like a cross between a stormtrooper and officer armor.

Post by: Darth More on February 09, 2023, 02:15:23 AM: Pretty cool! I like the softgoods pants. That'd be me under the armor with my skinny legs. Maybe they could need some extra muscle mass/sculpting. Another cool project, Ron!

A certain Princess would probably ask, aren't you a little skinny for a Navy Commando?

Thanks heaps buddy and I wasn't expecting much on the site as they have heaps of Clone armour but I kept going thru the categories and saw this and knew I had to get it.

Thanks so much DM and yeah I didn't even think about making the pants section bulky but will have to keep it in mind for the next one.
