Hi All,

The rocket launcher is now complete, I just need to finish off the jet pack and then make the diorama and paint and weather weather everything. The main material was plastic tube, strips and I used a hand grip and trigger section from a Bandai DLT-19 and the forward hand grip is also from a DLT-19. The scope is from a Bandai Clonerooper rifle and the mount is from a Bandai Sand trooper back pack.

Hi All,

New figure from SW - BF2 Imperial Rocket Trooper 1:12 scale on Tatooine and fixed up old diorama.

Trooper - is from Bandai and built straight out of the box and I added plastic top the helmet for the crest and the jet pack also made using plastic card.

The breathing control/tubes are from the Hasbro Tie Fighter Pilot BS 6" figure. The MG-15 was made from parts of the Hasbro sandtrooper DLT-19 with the barrel shortened and reattached, the magazines are from the Bandai Sandtrooper backpack and the Scope is from the Bandai Stormtrooper pistol.

The rocket launcher was made from plastic card and tube except the handles which are from the Bandai DLT-19.

Base - was one I did a few years ago and got damaged in themove to the new house so I decided to fix it up and use it for this figure.

The walls are made from blue foam with spakfilla and sand mix added to the. The antenna's on the roof are from 3-3/4" SW figures and greeblies from the parts box, the white pole is a 1/1000 Star Trek Nacelle with a soft drink bottle lid for the base.

The pieces of scrap are old asthma bottles I get of the son once they are empty, the small crates are the lids that come with the asthma spray, the pipes are pieces of plastic tube and the grates are from plastic fly squatter, the dome looking scarp is from a deoderant can and the sand is a mix of spakfilla and sand
