Here we go...first few. Think I might ditch the Intruder droid as it gets in the way and detracts from the focus of the figure and bike. Please let me know what you think. Hope you like it. I am so happy with it and how it turned out. Will look great on the living room table.

Photographs taken. need to adjust contrast as the Troopers white uniform is a bit lacking in detail due to light bouncing off! This could take a while as I shot 38 pics! Ciao for now. ( No idea why I say this, never used the expression in my life before this thread :dunno ) :lol Toodle Pip!

She is finished. DONE. Just waiting for a bit of sun to hit us. Bit of a crappy day for photographs! Hang in there... Ciao for now

That was the initial intention and the image that sparked this build...but as the build progressed, I wanted something more dynamic...to show off the Troopers as the elite force within the Imperial army. ( see earlier in thread ). The idea here is that this Trooper is " an old salt" or "old...

BTW, as an idea for your next project...how about Luke leaping into a floating speeder, with his homestead in the background. "That would lead them.........HOME!"

Fantastic displays...really works of art. I find it amazing that with the articulation of the 1/6 figures, and the quality of head sculpts and scratch built outfits, that literally any movie scene from any movie is possible. As you can guess, I have never been a 1/6th modeller until recently...

Solo_bones, that moisture vaparator looks fantasic and the dio with the Dewback is just awesome. You must be so proud of these. Makes me want to really get into 1/6th figures...so many possibilities. Outstanding work Sir :hi5: :clap:clap:clap

I have been working on two ammo pouches, based on the German WW2 MP40 pouches as used on the Stormtroopers. They are made of Milliput, with styrene inserts for the magazines. The straps are again metal foil from a wine bottle ( theres a theme here :lol ) and the strap retainers are painted...

Now I did not know that...I have learnt something today...thank you Thundergod. However, nowadays it appears to be almost all CGI. I think there is a difference between static buildings etc as models and flying Physical models. Looking at something like Prometheus...which looked like all CGI...

Mine is actually a three in one...three different leaves :nana: They are really great and the leaves look good, though it takes hours to make them in large quantities. Fortunately I made a few hundred late last year for a dio idea I had but have not got around to..so I have borrowed a few for...

Solo_bones...thanks dude...building it has been great though challenging, especially that vinyl that glue does not stick to! I am looking forward to Star Wars VII....Glad to hear its being made in Good Old Blighty ( like the originals ). I think JJ will do a tremendous job. I hope that they use...

Great minds eh? I bought one of these last year and have created leaves for the Endor forest floor base already. The fern leaves I need are much larger...but thanks for the idea

Love it man...top work indeed. :clap

Very good base...just doing an endor base for my Hasbro speederbike thread. Now you make me think I need trees...Damn you. Well done...looks great especially with the Predator and the Halo. :clap

Just been on T'Internet. Pressing leaves in a book will take 2 to 3 weeks, so will display soon and add the ferns in a few weeks. Don't want to keep you guys hanging for a few weeks so pics soon and then more in a few weeks with the pressed and dried leaves. Ciao for now.

Cheers Annihilate22. Its been great building this and as I usually make model kits, very different from the normal work. Having said that, I have only re-started modelling since being a young lad and as a result have lots of partly made models and only one finished! So many skills to learn...

big guy, Nazgul-king and Thundergod. Thanks for those great comments. Rally apprecite them. LasVegas...sorry man but would not know how to reproduce them and to be honest I have at least 5 other projects on the go, three kids and a company to run...so time is very very limited. Yesterday I...

BTW, have had a few issues with the 6mm steel threaded rod into the leg of the tropper. When mounted, the tropper would swivel a bit which was not acceptable as would throw out the speeder bike angle. So I removed it and dropped superglue into the leg hole, screwed the rod in and then sealed it...

OK so here is the lazer cannon on the ILM model And here is what I got with the Hasbro speeder bike! A wobbly, oversized blob of cheap vinyl plastic :horror So as already mentioned I tried to turn a new one from a piece of styrene rod and I failed supremely. I had not used my lathe before...

The turning of a plastic rod in the lathe did not work..the plastic snapped so I have ordered some aluminium rod. Will no doubt take a few days to get to me so more pics when I can. Figure stands nicely on the base but no pics now until its all finished...TEASE
