THE TROOPER

Thanx Nick and Pete, will do asap and pics to follow next week hopefully.

Ok, ok...so the batman gauntlets are a little much. But man they look cool as shhhhh!!

Ok my brothas and sistas, got some teaser shots before some final tweaking that my wife took real quick. I know its not finished, and yes open to comments and thanx for them. As soon as i make one more final trip to Walts Trooper Faktory, ( WTF ), I should be a go for final pics up and down and submission, in which i cant wait because this is my favorite trooper.

Awesome isnt it? It gets very addicting.....MMMoooaahahahahahahahWelcome, and have fun !!

Hey Steve, if you use sandable filler primer, all you need to do after that is sand it with a scotch-brite pad. They are red or gray in color and you can get them at any autobody supplier. They are actually made out of recycled plastic bottles. And no thats not a snapple fact. After that you could apply a base coat, let it flash dry for a couple minutes depending on the temp. Then apply two more coats the same way evenly. When your finished, you could apply a clear coat depending on what type of paint your using,i.e. gloss, or satin finish. Hope this helps a little and congrats on the brown box.

cut it, trim it, smack it, flip it, rub it down, oh noooooo.lol just kiddin. def a recast. whats his price and are you willing to go the distance to make it right? whats the worst that could happen, if you dont like it you could make it into a hybrid black death trooper....WOW.

Awesome peter. I too am a fan of power tools Im also a fan of e-6000 glue, well,. for some parts. Again awesome job bro...

Bro im jelous. Comin along great. Just a suggestion, you might want to adjust your right thigh. It looks like the ammo belt is in the wrong position also. Keep up the great work.

:shok: Whoa! Great minds think alike. Wait till you see what else i got up my armor.

Ok bros...i was fartin around in the shop and ahhhh....well... whadya think ? Approvable ?

Awesome pic Todd. Ive seen this a long time ago but every time i see it i often wonder what it must have been like way back then to be on the set ! Epic huh?? Now i cant wait to see what Disney does with the new generation. New shadow troopers ?

you hit that one on the head bro-hammer

Congrats bro ....yea your gonna want a couple of red bulls too...lol Trooperbay will also be a good friend. Take your time, and post pics so we all can help you achieve your goal. All the best my friend.

Ok gang...got some new pics...my shiny black bootties came in. Also my black canvas belt came in.....not much, but just to show you that (The Shadow Project) is comin along quickly now. More to show you by tomorrow after i get back from ((Walts Trooper Factory)) aka WTF!!!! Thanx Walt......

Thanx Josh....I gotta probably do that for my TD too but its not saggin yet. More pics by friday i hope......so stay tuned bros

Nice...but i wonder what it would look like if you added these to it. I think i might try it on my shadow. OOOps there i go thinkin outloud again.

Nice idea Todd, wil def. keep that in mind Thanx Jim,

Thanx bro..I used to paint trucks like the one i drive for my work now.... And no, im not showing off....lol

Thank bros......Its very encouraging. I really want the black backpack to complete the overall look, but dont think its approvable on this guy. Now what i really want is the jet pack but will probably get thrown out of the legion....lol Thanks guys....

Lookin good Chris...Love the bucket, I wish you could put the mirrored lenses in there, that would be the fashnizeel.

Hey Nick, are you going for the nova trooper ? I was just wondering because earlier in your post you wanted to know how to sand and paint it. Im assuming the gold stripes right ? If you have an autobody supplier near you, i suggest getting 3m pinstripe tape, and some blue painters tape, and a couple of sheets of 1200 grit sandpaper. Tape off the vertical lines and scuff lightly the surfaces that have to be painted. When painting, dont try to cover it all at once, in one shot. Apply a ghost cover to all the areas and let it flash or (dry) for about five minutes. Then repeat until you achieve the desired color appearance, normally about three coats. Hope this helps a little bud. I do know autobody. You can do it the cheap way and get the supplies at walmart but the 3m pinstripe tape is the best in my opinion. It leaves nice crisp lines with no color bleed through. And ahhhhh wheres your armour mister ? Hmmm ?? We'll be watching you. :teehee:
