perhaps a rigid insert? i think your pauldron looks fine also

it looks much improved Jarrad perhaps a little less red between the eyes?

love the stack cutting tip!! thanks chuck.. and iv got super glue in my eye before it was not fun, it stuck to the inner eye lid and scratched my eyeball every time i blinked

it looks like your kidney plate is up side down...

it looks really good i like the weathering details.

i plan to swich to bluey's method but this works for now.

sorry i meant to post one but i have a nasty cold ---------

sweet! defiantly perfect for the shadowtrooper

looking good Michael..

i heard that he went to Kamino and got himself cloned and is currently building his own deathstar

yes, just try to keep the weathering colors to gray and black, not brown or tan like a sandtrooper. its more of a blackened scuffed up look. but i guess the key is to not go overboard. i am experimenting with some new weathering methods, ive only tested this on painted HIPS. so im not sure how it will work for ABSHERE the photos dont show all the details (it looks dirtier in person) but this is my newly weathered chest plate for the scratches i just used the tip of an exacto knife, and lightly scored the lines in the paints surface

i have a strap that wraps around the top of my chest plate (just below the shoulder strap) and 2 small velcro tabs to keep it from moving around

i think mike is right.. it looks like your sniper plate is on the wrong knee..

remember that the ICN is based on the ROTJ suit i dont think a big gap between the back and kidney will look right myself.. if you trim the kidney, trim it so it is flush with the back plate as seen in the ROTJ references. i dont think i could even do that because i am too short i think the only time you see black between the back and kidney in ROTJ is when moving.. and that is probably why the game looks that way.. the overlapping game skins can cause glitches. the gap in the game is IMO just there to make it look better when in motion..just like the split back and split AB, it is a detail to allow the game model to move correctly. does that make sense?

i did it sloppy intentionally to add to the distorted effect.i did the details with random shaky brushstrokes. TK accuracy was not intended or implied.. i really wanted to capture the distressed look and i like being silly

i based it on this trooper now LFL just needs to put this in a game or a movie so it can be approved.. id love to do this to the max

none of the game versions have the red handguard, only the action figure.. i think that's a typo, the action figure only has one red hanguard, i would leave them white myself, heck i couldn't paint my silicon hand guards red anyway, they would turn pink when the paint chips off

thanks.. it was just a fun project and an excuse to be as inaccurate as i possibly could.. i got the flu so i didn't want to mess up any serious builds im working on, just got a little dremel and hot glue fever going on

i took 2 afternoons to throw this together.. it was great fun.. i just brush painted all the details and clear coated it.. im really liking how it tuned out.. it still needs a little tweaking but its 99% done

it is modeled after the force unleashed plasma rifle

wow! that looks great! i really like the added details

i know what you mean about the photos. it looks great! and i really like the clean look too

Eight total teeth on the frown are cut out on an ANH stunt. mine has about 20 and still needs a few more JK

these aren't the typo's your looking for... move along
