Hi All,

Firstly I hope everyone has a great NEW YEAR and I'll see you all in 2016.

Ok I have completed the Trooper Skeleton and as always here is the recipe.

Figure - The armour and back pack are from Bandai and the skeleton parts are from Figma's Skeleton figure. I just made the armour and then inserted the skeleton in to the connection section of the armour. For the chest area I just used the armour and not the inner section of the Bandai kit and just put the armour over the skeleton.

I used black cloth to simulate what was left of the body suit and just cut out pieces of cloth and glued them into place.

Base - is a piece of marine foam cut out and I then marked out where I wanted the figure and removed the foam so that there was a shallow hole. I then mixed plaster of paris, sand and PVA/woodglue and fixed it all together and then filled the shallow hole and let it dry for about 5 minutes then pushed the figure into the plaster.

Once the plaster dried I then made stones from marine foam by pulling apart the foam until I got the look I wanted. I then glued the stones into place and let it dry and once it was I then mixed the same mixer of sand plaster and glue and started laying it over the base and figure but not covering the figure.

To get the weathered and beat up effect of the armour I Vallejo paints and drybrushed the armour and then used a baby wipe and dapped it over the armour which removed some paint and mixes the drybrushed paint together to give it a worn effect.

The skeleton was painted using Vallejo paints and I did drybushes and washes to give it a worn weathered look.

Ron

This is waayy awesome! You really get the illusion he's been there quite a while. I like to see the gruesome side of Star Wars, it is a war after all, it makes it more authentic.

Wow, that skeleton is awesome. I love how it turned out.

I would so love to see you do a similar zombie version of this with the outstretched arms. Ron, did you ever read Red Harvest.

Hey Shawn no I haven't red Red Harvest as of yet I have it but I'm reading Aftermath at the moment which isn't a bad read so far.

My son has been nagging me to do some 6" SW zombies so it is possible that one of them will have out outstretched arms.

Death Troopers is the first story where Han and Chewie take em on too. You would love both books, even though I guess they are now considered legendary and not regular EU.

I could so see you building a Han and Chewie running away from dio.

Ron, I really like this Skeleton. Did you happen to see how many views it got on our Facebook Page? It was over 35,000 a few days ago. Folks love it.

Hi All,

Well here is some WIP pics of my first dio for 2016, I have been playing a lot of SW Battlefront while on leave and have gotten some great idea's for diorama's and displays.

This dio will depict a couple of Sandtroopers coming out of a bunker to take down those rebel scum.

The dio so far has been made foam core and cardboard for the main bunker and the I have added plumbers gadgets on top for a vent/generator. The stone is marine foam which I just pulled apart and I will be covering it over with plaster and sand.
