    Toddo's Skytrooper

    in SKY Build Threads

    Posted

    I'm not really a fan of Disney so to speak, but I am obsessed with Disneyland.  Recently I had the opportunity to pick up an old FX kit on the cheap, so I immediately thought Skytrooper.  The armor was worn for years by someone with a larger build than me, so I had to get to re-sizing things.  While I was at it, I re-shaped the FX chest and shoulder bells.  I grabbed a Cap-W bucket to top it off and away we go.

     

    I added the rubber trim and painted the gray flashing:

    The helmet was unpainted, so I handpainted the details as well.

    I still have to add the read trap details.  I might use decals on those as the lines are skinnier than I suspect my shaky hands can paint.

    I have a chest box kit on order as well as a pair of Targ's hoses.  Man of War is sending me a Boba jetpack kit minus the rocket as well.

    Imagine a plastic army man's gun.  Now imagine it really big.  That's a Cushman.  It is ok at best but will be extremely soft and lacking detail.  Many have had difficulty getting these in a decent timeframe or at all.  My personal experience is that I had to threaten legal action to receive a response even after months of silence.  I eventually received my MG-34 and it was broken in half.  There are better options such as Hyperfirm that will make you much happier IMHO.

    hmm.

     

    I just looked at your INC thread, and your belting looks a bit different than mine.  Where did you get it?  Is yours shiney or is it just the lighting/weathering?

     

    Mine is the same weave, but is more of a flat color.

     

    Also yours seems to be not as "poofy" as mine, in othere words lays flatter.  Did it just come that way or did you do something to it?  I did not see sew lines other than the velcro at the back....

    My firehose isn't shiny.  I think that's the hairspray that I sealed the weathering in with.  I didn't sew anything other than the velcro.  I just flattened like you have done.  I did iron it though.  That helped it keep the flattened shape.  As for where I acquired it, the local F.D. had us remove firehose from my store a couple of years ago, so I scored some free.
