Death scout?

[drthmrl[TX]]

I wa wondering if anybody has seen a "deathscout" or only deathtroopers? I haven't read the novel so I don't know if they ate mentioned in it or not.

The reason I'm asking is becuz I'm having a hard time finding damaged tk pieces to make the deathtrooper I was originally going to do. But I know many tb's that I can get pieces from.

They are not mentioned in the Deathtroopers book. It is a cool idea though...

Star War: Galaxies had them when they did the Deathtrooper Update. Unfortunately since the game closed down, I can't get any better pics but here's one I found.

Cool thanks guys. Maybe I can find more reverence material for approval when I finish.

[crazas[TX]]

Such a cool idea!!! If i only had a spare armor to play with...

[Master Tej]

The idea makes perfect sense, but there's a lack of a reference. I'd like to see it if you decide to do it!

I'm on the hunt now for anyone that has damaged or extra gear they want to get rid of. I found a few pictures online of people that have done it.

If you can't find anyone your side of the pond buddy, drop me a line. I've got a few mis-pulled parts kicking about.

One of our new memers is really into zombie stuff, and he has a Biker he is planning on converting to a Death Scout as soon as he can afford the extra pieces, if he gets it done I'll make sure he shares some pix

[drthmrl[TX]]

Thanks. Think I'm going to try a shadow death scout, since I can use the soft parts from my shadow scout. What do you guys think? I'm probably gonna need some suggestions on how to pull it off.

Main thing would be blood stains. Since it'll be black armor, how would I go about it. And what would you recommend the weathering of the black color armor. According to the CRL for the death trooper, the white armor is supposed to have a "olive green" tint to show age. Any tips or ideas are most welcome!

[Master Tej]

How much blood are you planning? I know that a huge argument on FISD was over how much blood should be used, if any at all.

[drthmrl[TX]]

That's one of things I was thinking about. How much if any. I guess it should depend on the amount of damage and where the damage will be on the armor. As in near what veins and such.

[Chef[501st]]

well, technically aren't these dudes supposed to be Zombies, and therefore not much blood at all!

 

I'd personally keep the blood to a minimum, but certainly have some rotten flesh or some such hanging out.

 

What I'd have the most of is dirty weathering, mud and filth. Armour damage and the such like. General neglect.... that sort of stuff.

[drthmrl[TX]]

Good point Chef. A little blood but mostly mud. Mud is easy to come by :-), and will be good to add that "weathered" look.

I don't think I'm going to use a bucket either, atleast not yet, just a zoombie type mask with a torn and somewhat bloodied baklava.

Anymore idea's? These are great tips guys!

[Master Tej]

Perhaps some broken spots on the armor that show what Scout armor would look like on the inside?

[drthmrl[TX]]

Yup. Good point.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Would be very cool to see a larger variety of death trooper whether they be storm, scout, shadow, etc.

[drthmrl[TX]]

Oh I'm gonna have armor damage. Going to look at a lot of pics of damage from zombie movies to see what would be best.

[drthmrl[TX]]

Ok thanks to Chef I'll be getting the armor by next week. Thanks dude!

Now, I know that I'm going to paint the armor first then start to "damage" it. I was thinking maybe I should use a flat black paint as opposed to the shiny gloss to give it more of a weathered and beat up apparence. Thoughts?

[Master Tej]

Yeah, I like that. You might also try mixing up some dark browns and greens in order to lightly tinge some areas to make it look worn. Some people made really good mixtures on FISD, but then again, I'm not sure how exactly their mixtures would react with black.

[drthmrl[TX]]

Ok, the armor has arrived. Now to get the paint and get started. Anymore suggestion's?

[drthmrl[TX]]

Change of plans. Desided to trim then paint. Pictures will come later tonight on WIB!

[Chef[501st]]

You deciding to go Black??

 

I still think that the weathering/mould/rot would have more impact on the white armour.

 

Plus it's a lot less work!!

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Just because a stealth zombie is an oxymoron is no reason not to do it!
