Bobby, you are pumping out those Stormtroopers faster than the clone factory did! Big Smile

The display of these Stromtroopers looks outstanding! Great job!

 

Now tell me, could you see Capt. Phasma driving one of these:

 

LOL!  Thank you!  Yeah, I'm starting to run out of room on the shelves!  But I'll find room some how.

 

WOW!!!!  I'd like to see ME driving one of those!  That is too cool!

Well, I got going on Capt. Phasma and well, she's done!  This was a really cool one.  Lots of "chrome", so had to be very careful taking parts off the sprues.  Turned out really nice I think.  Enjoy!

Had to move some models around to get the "family" picture in on the shelves.  LOL!  But hey, now I have room for the other ones!!

Up next.....Shoretrooper!

Then, I got up early...had my coffee...and did...THE SHADOW TROOPER!!!

Now this is basically a regular Stormtrooper kit, just in all black.  As you can see the box doesn't even have a pic of the trooper and the instructions are for the regular Stormtrooper in white.  Not sure if I got an early pop of the kit or what, but I really think this one is cool!  More evil then the regular troopers for sure.

And here is the "family" so far.  Working on Capt. Phasma today!

I'm trying to put them in "chronological" order.  Not sure I have it correct, so if anyone sees a wrong placement, let me know.  Enjoy!!

So these kits are very nice...and once you get into a routine with them...they are very fast to build!  LOL!  I'm trying to remember to take progress pics of them, but once I start, the next thing you know, I'm done!   LOL!

Here is the First Order Stormtrooper.  I opted to go with the shield and ...what ever that weapon is.  Sorry Lord Bish.  I'm trying to give each Trooper a different weapon...but I'm running out of options with so many troopers.  Embarrassed

Sandtrooper

Shoretrooper

Shadow Trooper

Capt. Phasma

Lord Bish...I submit for your approval...my Clone trooper. LOL!

And here he is with the next gen Stormtrooper.  Tonight..First Order Stormtrooper!  Can you see a trend here yet?  LOL!

I still have about 4 or 5 (6 if one counts Capt. Phasma) Stormtroopers to do.  I might just do them all for this GB (if Lord Bish allows).  I can't say enough good things about these Bandai kits.  They are really great kits!

Oh, the accessories at the bottom are the Phase II Clone Trooper head, a visor of some sort to go on it, and a rifle.

Nice start Bobby. I built that many many mons ago but never got it finished. Lok forward to seeing how you paint it. And look forward to seeing the troper as well.

 

Thank you sir!  The Death Star will go fast after I get the halfs together.  Now...it's superglue a section, let it dry...move on to next section.  LOL!

I'm working on the Trooper right now!  Might be finished tonight....if my son has his way.  LOL!

Bobby: WOW!!! That's awesome! Those seams in the north and south hemispheres look like they'll be a pain to clean up though. I'd guess the equator will be covered by the 'trench'?

 

Bad news on this front. I went to prime Han and somehow he slipped out of my hand and fell on the concrete floor and exploded into his componet parts. I've got him back together and trying to re-putty and clean up the seams again. Sad

 

Thank you sir!  Yeah....the north and south parts will need some TLC before going together.  I'm thinking it will be easier to hit those big gaps from the inside out.  And yes, I'm hoping the trench will be a cover for the halves going together.  LOL!

Here is a pic of the Death Star.  I'm cutting off all the alignment tabs since they are not aligning very well at all.  I'm using strips of styrene I'm cutting up and putting the quarters together with those and super glue.  Once I get the top and bottom halfs done, I'll clean up the seems andthen put the two halfs together.  It will be impressive once done for sure.

And I think I'm going to do this one too.  I plan on doing a few SW kits before the Nov ending....If Lord Bish allows it.  LOL!

Right!  So, the droid unit I did was pre GB start, so it doesn't count.  LOL!  So I asked what I should do since I had so many kits and something to please the Emporer was mentioned....so....

Why not start with the Death Star!!!!   LOL!
