Scout Trooper WiP

Great job!    

Thank you for sharing your WIP. It has given me a boost to continue my project.

 I am in the process of resculpting my trooper (regular sitting position.) Some of the oversized details have been carved down or "sharpened up" with an exacto blade. I have cut a lot of the bad details off and filled them in with epoxy putty. I also had to sand down the boots and had to figure out how to carve new folds. So I understand what you are going through.

 I have cut the helmet off and replaced it with new head. My plan is to pose the figure lifting the helmet as if they were putting it on.

 Looking at the limited photos of a reinactors and notice that there are huge differences to the model. The model looks really bad in comparison. I am stuck trying to figure out how to make a new one. Did you bulid a new helmet?  Do you have any suggestions?

 Thanks again for sharing

Had time to work a little on the Relaxed Scout !!!

I was able to secure a Threaded Wood Insert Nut in his "Left Butt Cheek" and while this was Setting in Appoxie Putty I made sure to cover the Seat with Vaseline to prevent the Putty to stick everywhere... and give me a good Seat impression in the Scout's Gluts.

I only had to drill a small hole.. 1/4 of an Inch into the seat and accessed the Screw head by the Bike Stand circular part under the bike which I drilled out ! the Rod inside the Scout's Left Leg is now Supporting the entire Vignette. and it's pretty cool !!! to see it come alive !

I will use a small piece of Styrene once I am done ... to plug the hole... on the Bike's Belly! something I can remove easily in case I need to dis-assemble the Model for transport !

So far I like Where this is going !!!!

I only have a small Picture of it.... in Hover Mode... the Legs and Gluts still need to be Refined and all the nice wrinkles and Pleats added to suit the Stance... WiP pictures always shows the good and bad about a project !

Right now; I am Sanding down all excess putty to a smooth finish; So I can start on a clean slate !

I also added some Appoxie Putty to the stomach area and Kept it Back by 2 or 3 mm in order to have yet another clean base to add the Cummerbund pleats... and give him a firm six Pack !!!

I till have to redo the left arm completely .. Just so I can have a Good One Piece arm to add to the figure...

Here are some pix !

and Pardon the Messy bench !!! Am'IBad

I like it!

need captains rank on the helmet :D
