"Move Along"

Post by Postie »

Finally finished up weathering & making dirty my "Move Along" sandtrooper lid.
Did my best to match up the chipped paint frown, trimmed the eye sockets leaving his sleepy looking left eye & the crack in the in the left tube, heavily trimmed ears & of course his trademark raised brow!

This guys dropped his helmet on the way to work, and just kicked it along the Mos Eisley road the rest of the way. :)

Nice job!
Is there a good place to go for reference pics of the 'move along' helmet? :)

Star Wars helmets.com has a few but I like just pausing the dvd!
I've probably gone a little heavy on the weathering on my helmet, if I remember rightly the original helmet was lightly painted on set using a mix of oil & sand.

Sometimes if you under-weather, it'll wash out when photographing under strong lights, so you can make a case for going heavy.

That's fantastic work, maybe you can come work for me when I set up my business(pipe dream at the moment).
Doomsday and Armageddon got together and had a baby and man is it ugly.
