Popular Post Feliz Posted February 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2019 So, starting on??a new kit this year and am going back to my roots...to??what started it all for little Nicky in 2000!??Building a Sandtrooper! Got a barely started kit of an Empire garrison member and am off to the races. I've never weathered a Sandy so this should be fun. Any tips are welcome. Started with the helmet, a little burnt umber and yellow Ocre. Now I need to get my hands on some fullers earth and hairspray.?? 4 Nick SL/TD/TX-686 Imperial Death Trooper, ANH Vader, and Sandtrooper (who wouldn't know a droid if it were sitting in a speeder right in front of his face) Link to comment
Alay Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Awesome! ?? I've on weathered a HWT, but the oldest saying I'm sure applies; less is more! More white(ish) armor is always great Garrison Web Master | First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment Leader Emeritus ANH Stunt Stormtrooper - Centurion | ESB Line Officer - Imperator |Dengar - Approved Heavy Weapon Trooper - Centurion| ESB Stormtrooper- Approved | Admiral Daala - Approved| Jodo Kast - Approved Link to comment
Feliz Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yeah, I think I???m gunna clean a bit off and see how it looks once I get the fullers earth and apply that lightly. Fortunately this stuff isn???t a pain to remove!??

Chewy Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I love the slightly raised brow on your helmet. It's like "You lookin' at me, huh?". I definitely want to see more pictures!

Feliz Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yeah! I???m didn???t mean to have it quite like that but I don???t think the movie versions were perfect either. Guess I???m going for ???the Rock??? TD!?? ?? Did a a little more work to the lid sine then . I may need a little assistance. With sizing the armor though. Sometimes that???s a two person gig. 2 Nick SL/TD/TX-686 Imperial Death Trooper, ANH Vader, and Sandtrooper (who wouldn't know a droid if it were sitting in a speeder right in front of his face) Link to comment

I saw the set in set and we're not really sure who it all was made by.?? It's got some aspects of an AM kit, but it looks a little mixed and matched.?? I thought the forearms were anovos but they're too bright white to be theirs.

Feliz Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Yup! I got it from an Empire Garrison member who thought it was MTK but he was off. Some parts are MTK but some are NE, which is an older version of the AM I believe. It???s been a little challenging getting it to code but it seems to be working out.??
