Baron Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dude, first let me say awesome build! It looks like it fits you really good! But here are a few things I see: Weathering looks pretty good, but need to be way dirtier and more shades of dirty. Just looks a little to clean. Same with your pack. Looks like a great build man, but too clean!!! This is all about being dirty!!!!!! Not sure if the rivet head in the ab is required, but is a nice addition to detail. Easy add... And you might want to post a solo pic of your canvas belt, they will likely ask, but dirty up it up more before you do Put something in your shoulder ammo pouch so it does not look empty And your blaster is awesome!!! And way too clean!!!!! Dirty that thing up dude!!!!! Again, great build dude, good luck!!!!!! Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just replaced the 4-button to the 3-button and I forgot about the rivet haha. Fortunately, it just rained here so it won't be a problem getting dirty lol Cheers!

Fiddlers Green Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sorry for the delay. Finally had some time to focus back on my TD . Going to start with some 'before and after' pics, then will post all of my completed parts (Blaster and backpack are next weeks focus).

Fiddlers Green Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 The process I used was based off of several awesome weathering tutorials (should have seen them first haha). Starting with the before pic then through the process to include side by side and after pics. Original look Used a Black acrylic wash and then added Fuller's earth grey and tan Lightly dabbed the coat to dry faster Used a dry paper towel to remove excess weathering until I was satisfied with the look and various patterns Completed weathering Side by side comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlers Green Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 All parts completed finally! Hopefully! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlers Green Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 OK wow. Hate to make mistakes, but I own up to them lol First, my original intent was to deploy as a regular Sandtrooper. Still new to the 501st, I thought Police Officer was the 'normal' Sandtrooper application (after requesting access) and not the lateral equivalent of a TK EIB. So I definitely want to apologize to all PO Sandtroopers and applicants for displaying my original (no where near PO level) Sandtrooper pics back in early September Second, since I have gladly invested much more time into my Sandtrooper, I will continue to work hard towards PO level certification as per the new CRLs! Time to get dirtier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
