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!

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: Sounds cool, looking forward to seeing what you do with the Clone Trooper too. 

Nick: Oh, cool X-wing. And the popcorn AT-AT looks almost done.

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.

First Order Trooper

First Order Executioner

Sandtrooper

Shoretrooper

Shadow Trooper

Capt. Phasma

And I have Luke and Han wearing Stormtrooper armor!

Must keep Lord Bish happy.  LOL!

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

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!!

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!

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

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:

So I did the Shoretrooper today.  It was one of the more unique ones.  I really liked doing this one.  I opted for the Capt. trooper. 

And of course....the family picture.  LOL!

I have the First Order Executioner and Sandtrooper left.

The one thing I'm finding myself thinking is...these kits look awesome when built.....but I want to get all new sets of them and weather them up a bit!!!!  Someone stop me!  LOL!

Man, these are cool.  I might have to get some.  I especially like the Shoretrooper.  And the shadowtrooper. And the classic stormtrooper.  Heck, I like them all.  

Looking forward to seeing Han and Luke assuming you're building them too.

Nice work Eagle!

Hey Ted..Thank you so much for the kind words.

As for the Bandai kits...I would not hesitate to go out and get you ALL of them!!  The troopers are great builds, the spacecraft are awesome..o.k....I haven't gotten a bad Bandai kit yet. LOL!  The detail is awesome and the engineering is superb!  They throw some extra cool things into some kits.  The droid kits (I have almost all of them) are starting to add "accessaries" for OTHER kits!  Very cool.  And my Sandtrooper kit has a base/stand that looks like sand!  Yeah, just go out and get you some, you won't be disappointed!

Oh, yes, I plan on doing the Han and Luke soon.  I think they will look great next to the regular troopers!

So here is the latest Trooper.  The First Order Executioner.  This was a fun one too.  Little different from the regular F.O. Trooper and the "axe" is really cool!  Enjoy!

And of course...the family picture.

The last "regular" trooper I have is the Sandtrooper.  That might be done today.  Whistling

Loving all those troopers! Nice and quick builds.

Well, I have finished the B-Wing, pictures are not the best. Thought the natural light would be nice.

 

Now I need to get back to work on the star destroyer. I might do another for this GB before it is over.

Woah! Nice one Stephen! That is one eyecatching scheme! Is it from star wars or is it fictional? If it is your scheme then that is one really awsome idea!Yes
