Hi All,

The pod is complete and all I have to do is get it put onto the dio.

The pod was given a drybrush of medium grey and then a very light wash of flat white. Once the wash dried I then gave it a very light wash of matt black and let dry.

I then started drybrushing matt black to the top and side to simulate re-entry scorching and also gave the main thrusters and manouvering thrusters a drybrush to simulate heat stress and then I weathered the pod using pastel chalks.

Hi All,

While I'm waiting on figures to arrive so I can finish dios and commissions I thought I would whack together a Snowtrooper together using parts from left over figures,  I still have to fill in gaps and the joints and then paint him up and make a small base for him.

The Snowtrooper is a combo of a scout trooper's torso, legs and biceps and the chest, helmet, forearms and shoulder armour are from a Stormtrooper. The karma and face cover are some left over material I had in the parts box and the back pack is made up using plastic card and 1/35 and 1/72 tanks parts and the head plate armour on the helmet was done using thin plasti card

The snowtrooper is lookin good. Like the softgoods and really like the bipod extended on the repeater rifle you don't see that often.

Thanks buddy and I use to do German military figures and use to have the machine gunner carry it this way.

Hi All,

While I'm waiting on figures to arrive so I can finish dios and commissions I thought I would whack together a Snowtrooper

I hate you.

OK.  That's a lie.
You're awesome.
....... and I almost never use that word.

BTW, Ron.  Did you buy that paint stand or did you whack that together too?   ;)
I use Vallejo paints too, and the container I use isn't conducive to organization.
I have a router and a table from when I did carpentry projects, so it's not beyond my skills (probably not as nice as your's), but I'd prefer to buy one.

Looks great as always Ron would love to see your AT-AT gunner in a Tatooine environment next time or even an Endor just to shake things up from Hoth.

LOL cheers mate and I picked up the paint racks from a company over here called back2bas-ix here is their site  http://www.back2base-ix.com/.

Looks great as always Ron would love to see your AT-AT gunner in a Tatooine environment next time or even an Endor just to shake things up from Hoth.

Cheers mate and I actually have a Tatooine theme I want to do with a larger AT-AT  hull with sandtroopers getting ready repel down from the door which I'm I want to start around Feb.

Hi All,

Finally done I have already given the recipe for the trooper and the base was done by using marine foam and then built up using plaster cloth and left to dry. Once dry I added plaster over the base let that dry and then painted it different shades of brown and then added the snow by using a mix of PVA glue and spakfilla .
