Hi All,

The base is almost done I just have to let the sand dry and then start the last of the weathering. The sand was done buy mixing spakfilla/sand/PVA glue and then adding some watered down 50/50 mix of Vallejo's Brown sand and Pale sand.

With the mix just mix until you get a pancake type mixture and once mixed I dabbed the mix onto the base and then spread it out with a damp medium brush. I let the mix dry for about 12 minutes then got one of the Bandai Troopers and gently pressed his feet into the mix to simulate the foot prints.

As with any desert area sand will get everywhere so I added the mix to areas where sand would build up a lot like the roof and flat areas.

I will start weathering the troopers over the next few days.

60 Pages and still going! That base is amazing. Hands down it is one of your best. Makes me want one for my AT-AT Driver with a similar style of base except maybe in a snow theme. TS Hobbies bottom makes it look referency if that makes any sense and then your stuff on top of it gives it the gritty feel a Sandtrooper needs. Off to share.

Wow, this dio is coming along brilliantly! You have such an eye for detail and such patience with the process. It's no wonder your projects always turn out so well. I really love the extra touch of putting the footprints in the base, those little bits make all the difference.

I really appreciate the care you take in explaining your process also. This helps me to learn, so thanks for sharing your skill and learning with us.

Hi All,

While I'm waiting for things to dry on my Sandtroopers I whacked together Bandai's C3PO and WOW it is an awesome kit, I will be doing him from EPIV and I still have to weather him and add wiring to the bicep section of the arm.

I have used small wires to simulate the damaged arm as well and the wiring will be able to be swapped out for the intact 3PO. as per PIC 1

Wow, I sure hope Hasbro's version is even half that good. Doubt it will be. Time to take this new project to the front page.

Hey Shawn, cheers mate and I have to admit the Bandai figure kits are all over Hasbro's by far.

Hi All,

I have completed the sandtroopers and they were done as per my 3-3/4" tutorial I did a few years ago.
