Patton seems to be a favorite to add to the Imperial image. haha

Hi Chris, I went with this Mads Mikkelsen from headplay on ebay for my newest Imperial.

I too like that head, but don't you think his hair is too long for the military?

 

[Natedog]

Which head is that again for Ozzel?

 

[Spudtrooper]

That's what I thought on the hair too. Would look odd with the cap on.

The Ozzel sculpt is from the Wilhelm Keitel figure.

 

[Chakaman]

Pretty cool stuff guys. I think its funny that we are all using the same headsculpts for our custom Imperials.

Man, when you line up 2-3 guys in the black Imperial uniforms they look really sharp.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Great minds think alike.

 

[Chakaman]

Great minds think alike.

It would appear so.

Now, are we all gonna pick up ScottyBs Tarkin sculpt?

 

[Spudtrooper]

Yes indeed. haha I've never painted a head sculpt requiring much detail, but I guess there's a first time for everything.

Painting Headsculpts scares the jeebus out of me but SS are taking far too long for Tarkin.

Yeah and I can't see them doing a better sculpt than that. Its incredible.

Chris just always a pleasure to sit back and look through your photos.
Perfect choices for IMP officers thats for sure and love the Poor Capt Attillies "hanging" with Vader.

I dont enjoy painting human heads, I much prefer alien sculpts. The eyes are what make the human sculpts tricky.

The Tarkin sculpt is spot on, I can see anyone doing a better job either.

Thanks mate. I cant take credit for the Antilles scene, Jay did that and posted it in my thread. He did do a fantastic job setting it up.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Yeah that's what scares me too is the eyes. I think I can handle the skin pigmentation just fine but if the eyes look like crap it won't matter how great the skin looks.

 

[j14]

Thanks for the kind words Chris, that's just a place holder display as I'm moving house again so there are a lot of figs crammed on to the one shelf.
Did I miss the Scottyb Tarkin head?
I can't seem to find the post???

Starting my next project. I did this guy a few years ago, but am now updating the sculpt, new helmet and more outfit details.

 

[Chakaman]

Okay, here we go....Sandtrooper Commander.

Sideshow Sandtrooper chest armor, belt, ammo pouches. Sideshow Stormtrooper holster, blaster. Sideshow Praji undersuit. Sideshow Snowtrooper helmet. DiD goggles. I kitsbashed the backpack out of a couple of spare Sandtrooper backpacks from Koto and Sideshow.

Still some adjusting to the helmet, I will want it to sit lower I think. I also have some gloves I am working on.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Dude! He looks freaking amazing!
