Sandtroopers and dewbacks

[galactiboy]

Good to know there is a plan

nice pics Mark, the body swap looks great, does it make the fig look bigger than the usual medi?

Just a quick comparison shot of medicom troopers. The one on the left has a TT Slim bod.

I think it looks tons better on the TT, especially how the armour sits on the legs it just looks more natural.

 

[Darthgothikus]

And those Sideshow hands just make it look so much better!

I love my Medi's, but what were they thinking when they cast 5 year olds hands for them?

 

[Crimsonbob]

If i had medis i would buy a ton of cheap hands and sprayed em black then just make the handplate with milliput, or cut the ones off the medi hands. Dorgs is busy enough though thats why i sent them to him

 

[FLOSI]

Wow, the Medi with Slim TT looks great, Mark! Hope the prices continue to drop on the Medi troopers, might pick a few up if they do!

Got my saddle, ran me 30 dollars.... Also have some saddle bags coming. Now to finish my Dewback paint job....

Cool post piccies

Whoops, I worded that wrong. I bought my saddle, waiting for it and the bags to arrive. I just need to get a couple hours of painting in and I'll be done. Will post once I have her together.... I'd love to build one of those hairy U shaped pieces for the front of the saddle too.

Should be really easy if I can find some cheap hairy fabric. I remember there being one sculpted onto the old Kenner Dewback.... Ah the memories

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah i was gonna do something similar, possibly 1 day

 

[Darthgothikus]

Wow! Post is getting better round here. Sent Yesterday, arrived at Breakfast!

Gonna need some bigger brushes.

Must finish that Gonk.

...and those Tango Head sculpts...

...and start on that Gamorrean Guard...

...and those three astromecs...

Must give up work and lock myself in the shed for a couple of years! LOL

Since I might get 2 SS Sandtroopers (exclusive on order and the regular as a prize in a contest) I should get a lizard too. But who would paint it for me?

great score Gothikus, i've been very tempted to get me a dewback, i'll see if i can find one cheap on ebay (doubt it).

yeah it can get busy at times, ive got a few things sitting around that need doing as well. I just try and do 1 per week.

Also aye what the hell happened with the post office today i ordered a few bits on ebay and from Dangerzone-Collectibles yesterday and got it all today

A scratch built version of this original Dewback would be totally killer!
I really don't like the look of the Hasbro one. It's not original theatrical version nor special edition. In fact its Episode 1 and i don't like this mix up.

This is not to dwarfen your amazing work guys! The new paintjobs look absolutley amazing! I just don't like the sculpt.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

I know what you mean, the head is not quite right. The biggest problem is reference material. I have started to play with sculpting as that is the next thing I would like to get into.

Spiker if you could find more reference pics please post em.

Cheers

I like to think of mine as a young dewback or subspecies.
