Looks good, gotta love those Bandai kits. Can't wait to see the trooper.

Wonderful build and detail. Can't wait too see the Trooper.

Thanks. The quality of the kit is unbelievable. A plus is that the parts come molded in color so the painting done was minimal. I just sanded the parts with very fine sandpaper, enough to get rid of the plasticky shine. Most of the weathering was done with pastels, washes and silver paint for the scratches along with red paint for a few small details. The trooper is coming along nice and I will prepare a simple diorama base for the whole thing. Nothing too complicated.

Here is a work in progress of my friend Lester the Trooper getting his weathering on...

Excuse the awfully bad pics. What you think so far guys?

Oh wow, the trooper and the bike look really good! 

Scarecrow, Trooper looks great. I like the pose, you can get a real good articulation with these kits. Looking forward to the dio.

 

Decided on this pose. Thing is basically finished. Will try to post officially good pics later on this weekend. 20160325_191615 by Oscar Baez Soria, on Flickr 20160325_191601 by Oscar Baez Soria, on Flickr 20160325_191646 by Oscar Baez Soria, on Flickr
