I think the point of these, if you read John's post, is for accuracy buffs not really for trooping.

Agreed, these are perfect for a display I'm building for a friend of mine.

or is built like a Lowland Mountain Gorilla
I'm more of a Grizzly Adams fan my self, sorry just had to share:
-

Hey now, TKs get DL-19s too

Prepare to puke again; thats not a voice modulator.
Now if thats true, that's just wrong.

Now if they would just release the Animaniacs Star Wars special.

OK, maybe I need to spend some time on the Blizzard Force forums, but aren't the shoulder bells on this pisc upside down? Maybe the commander is done differently, but it seems the block detail should be on the lower part of the bell.
Just curious?????
The commander has the ridges at the top, but the bells should lay flatter against the arms.
Overall that's a great looking snowtrooper commander.

Here is a better screen cap for reference.

Congrats Mike , you have a great team around you.
Here are my contributions to the thread:
What do you call a really crooked lawyer?

What happens when a lawyer gets and erection?
He gets taller
What can a goose do, that a duck can’t, that a lawyer should?
Stick their bill up their ***.
Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, an honest lawyer and an old drunk are walking down a street together when they simultaneously spot a hundred-dollar bill. Who gets it?
The old drunk, of course, the other three are mythological creatures.

The gammorian looks like Richard from Bloodfin. The costume is amazing.

Thanks! by "scenic sand" do you mean Talus (see link), or is Scenic Sand even finer than that?

Thanks again!
That is really coarse. Try the hobby store first. If they carry Games Workshop sand it's nice to use:

If they have old stock, until recently it came in bags and cost half as much.

disclaimer - the only thing I put on armor is polish .
I've used "sand" on literally thousands of scenic model bases and displays. F
First things first you don't want to use play sand or any other sand. Remember back to grade school, glass is made of sand, therefore regular sand does not glue well, and if you have to add paint or ink to tint it, it won't stick.
The model world uses scenic sand, which is actually finely crushed rock. You may want to use a few screens to sort out the particles because large ones would not naturally stick to armor. When you glue it, water down some white glue (Elmers) and add your sand. When it is completely dry you can paint or tone it as needed. Then seal it with a light coat of very watered down white glue.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately the tour props are inaccurate. I was at MSI in October and they had a Vader that was labeled as being from ANH, and it was mostly ESB.
Here are some sandtrooper E-11 screencaps for reference.

Those are special edition sandtroopers. They were digitally added and are ROTJ stormtroopers with a weathering job.

To see how different armors look, spend some time over at www.starwarshelmets.com.

Just looked it up, it's Fiebing's Deglaze.

For 2 grand you can get a class three license and buy a live fire version.

Tandy leather makes a product to remove the sealer & oil so that leather can be re-dyed and sealed. I've never used it but it may be worth looking in to.

For the gluing use Devcon 5 minute epoxy. It sets up rock solid and bonds well to resin. I've used it on large resin models in the the past with good results.
As for filling resin, the same 5 minute epoxy works great. You can use bondo or filler putty, but the epoxy bonds to the resin better, doesn't shrink like putty, and can be cleaned up if you put too much.

Try TK8280 over at the FISD. He makes nice holsters, and I love mine.
-
Sounds like folks better start gearing up for selling resin castings of gun parts.
-
I use shade 5 green welders lenses. They are very dark green to the point they look black unless you look close. Also you can't see your eyes through the even in pictures with a professional camera flash.

That's beautiful. The detail is incredible, keep up the good work.
-
Ok here is your problem. Your using paint.
Pigment is what gives paint it's color. The woodland scenics don't contain the liquid latex and bonder that acrylic paints have.
You could probobly cheat and paint the armor in a steamy bathroom. The humidity would slowdown the drying time and might allow you achieve the same effect. Or you could buy an acrylic paint extender. It's an additive that slows the drying time of the paint, but try it out first on a piece of cardboard or scrap plastic because it can change the properties of the paint.
Good luck.

where are you putting it? Post pics if you can
Don't know yet, I must consult the local helmet mod expert first.

I'll be there. Last year was a blast and we had 4 SW personalities to share it with. This year is shaping up to be even better.
