Sandtrooper Captain WIP

Post by Postie »

Hey everyone.
I've been slowly converting my Sandtrooper bust into a full size mannequin, with the help of our own resident armourer Mr Goota! His parts fit perfectly with my original bits & is a breeze to work with, still lots to do & pouches to hunt down etc but pretty happy with how he's turning out.
To those on the fence about grabbing one of Jon's DLT- 19 kits...do it! It's huge, beautifully made & worth every cent!

That is amazing work! Well done!

As always, love your work mate, you go the extra mile with detail even matching up TD Move Along's front chest stain.

Ahoy! Well I'm pretty much there, the weathering of the armor seemed to take ages but I had fun doing it,
I decided to use the Oota vac formed hand guards as molds & filled them with latex after a bit of trial and error made a pair that I think turned out not too bad.
so here's a few pics of my attempt of the hard working but very weak minded "Move Along" sandtrooper Captain!
