Title: Troopers in the Snow!
Post by: IrishMafiaDG on December 22, 2010, 06:58:56 PM

I've been coming to this site for easily over 6 months, I mainly just browse, look at pictures. I'm more of a casual collector, so I don't have too much to post, and I don't do customs, but I finally have something to contribute :P

I wanted to try out the camera on my new phone and came up with this!

The snow does a great job keeping the figures up!

The "commander" is just some G.I. Joe I've had for a while, he does a good job looking like some sort of AT-AT commander. or imperial engineer.

Figures are

2 Legacy Storm Troopers
1 Saga Legends Sand trooper (pauldron was removed, so he looks like a storm trooper)
1 Legacy Scout
1 Saga Legends Evo Trooper
5 Legacy Collection troopers from The Joker Squad pack.

I realize it might look better with snow troopers, but I only have one, and I couldn't find one, and the sun was setting! :P

Let me know what you think :)

Natural lighting and natural background - win!

Thank you! Yeah, I had been putting off shooting it all day, I got it right at a good time, as the sun was setting. My phone has a great camera, some shots i used flash, some  I didn't :P

Wow, that phone takes good pics. Clonehead has already shown me some great video with his phone too.

There is nothing like a good snow Walker scene in my opinion!

Yeah, I pretty much skip the flash altogether on my shooting now.  If you need to use the flash, you are better off using a "bounce-card" to redirect the flash so it doesn't wash out your subject.

Yeah, Doc, I can relate, being a film student, but it was just a quick little project

Cool pics man. Outdoors is the way to go.

Yeah, its fun to set em up, The AT-AT is the only imperial vehicle I own. I'm hoping to get the BAT-AT if I can get it cheap, or an AT-ST, I'd also love to get my hands on a shuttle

I love taking outdoor shots! I just wish I was man enough to get outside and brave the cold =)  Like someone mentioned earlier, nothing beats a good walker on the snow shot.  Great shot and kudos for braving the cold.

Oh it wasn't that bad! Throw on a jacket and give it a shot! (No pun intended)
 
I have alot of 90s SW vehicles, back when I was younger, the only bad part is I was so young that I didn't take great care of them so virtually all of my old vehicles/figures are missing parts, like the AT-AT. I even have a snowspeeder thats missing the cannons and cockpit, but I wouldn't mind trying that one next

So the squadron of troopers trudged on through the night till morning, without the luxury of their walker doing all the work

I'd also like to track down an actual imperial officer, I'll probably get the AT-AT commander
