SANDTROOPER 12" Figure

[Crimsonbob]

Oooh Ooh play.com say the sandies will be in stock on the 13th of this month. I bet its a lie though knowing them they'll have them in a few days, as they've done that before.

xil3f - Love your Sandy mate.. That neck mod does make a vast improvement..

What are you guys using to weather the armor, such as the backpack etc if you don't mind me asking..
If Drybrushing , what color , type of paint etc.

Thanks.

hey guys, i was just wandering, why dont the sandtroopers have the blaster holster on their hip?
I just recieved my sandtrooper and was looking forward to having the blaster holstered but....... holster does not feature!

Thanks mate! I haven't done any for the armor but for weathering the backpack, I use pentel chalk pastel..(dark brown)...grind it to powder form.Using a brush or fingers to smudge over the edges and downward.
Or alternatively, you can use Tamiya weathering stick (mud) , just apply alittle and use fingers to smudge.
hope that this helps G'day! :chew

They never had holsters. I suppose as soon as thier on patrol their constantly armed.

man.. I need to stop looking at this thread... It makes me want to buy an additional trooper... LOL

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

I know what you mean. I really think it looks good.... I may have to get one to....

 

[Darth Mitchell]

Cant'... Resist... Buying... trooper... must... have ...sandtrooper...

 

[dedguy]

Man are the po...sand smears on the trooper printed on? That's so weird. I can see it done for intricate complicated designs such as tattoos and the markings on Abe Sapien but to do it for fairly simply weathering is just odd.

I think Sideshow is having a good influence on Hasbro. I just saw a Wal-Mart exclusive battle pack with a Dewback and a white pauldron Sandtrooper figure (which they have had for a while), but with the blaster that the first Sideshow Sandtrooper came with. I don't think they have released that one before.

But 30.00 for a new Dewback and a Sandtrooper is way overboard.
