Hi All,

Well I have done the joint coverings to my second trooper and started a new dio as well.

So far the troopers joints have been covered using black balloons and I will be keeping the articulation on these guys. The shoulder pouches can be removed as I have added elastic to the backs and the small pouches on the left side I got from my bits box.

The structure so far has been done using marine foam and just cut to shape and the walls will be given it's texture using spakfilla.

The base was done by TSHobbies (thanks mate you did a brilliant job) and I just added a few washes of flat white to enhance the logo and writing. And here is a link to his work http://www.tshobbies.com/.

Hi All,

Did a little work on the dio today, I have made some extras for the roof and in the corner using bits and pieces from the parts box. I have also added a light which is circled in black  and have filled in gaps using spakfilla and I will start the texturing of the walls tonight.

Hi All,

Have done more to the dio today.

The first pic I added spakfilla to the structure which is two tablespoons of spakfilla and 1 teaspoon of PVA glue once mixed I spread it over the structure and let it settle for about 10 mins. After the 10 mins I used a lightly damp small sponge and dabbed it over the strucrure to get the texture I wanted.

The second pic is the almost completed paint and weathering. I firstly painted the structure Vallejo's pale sand then gave it a wash of Vallejo's beige brown. Once the wash was dry I then dried brushed it Vallello's Dark sand and then pale sand.

After I dried brushed it I then gave it a deeper wash of Vallejo's Beige brown and then let dry and then dry brushed it again with Vallejo's Pale sand. The chipped away areas have been a two part wash mix of Vallejo's Beige brown and Pale sand.

The third pic I gave the greeblies a gun metal under coat then different washes of browns and reds till I got the rust effect I wanted.

The fourth pic I gave the small evaporator a under coat of gun metal then I lightly sprayed it matt white. Once the spray was dried I then gave it a wash of matt black let dry then gave it different washed of light browns and reds to give it battered weathered look.

Pic one I have used a 9v battery to power the two small led bulbs and the second pic shows it lit up in the dark.
