YourScout[TK] Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I am building this to be 100% accurate with the Battlefront 2 (2004) Shock Trooper, which is what I think the heavy weapons trooper should be in general I recently comissioned WoodChuck to build me a fantastic Minimag PTL Launcher ------------- This HD version was based on the First Trike Mod's PTL Launcher. Since the PS2/XBOX versions were low detail, I had woodchuck make a much sharper version based on the Battlefield First Strike mod Painted it And now I am just awaiting my backpack for the final submission photos.. Thank you for viewing Edited July 10, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magni[TK] Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Looks great! At 8 1/2 lbs you wont be carrying that long at troops. I like the HWT for the workout. Cause it's a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Im slowly getting used to the weight, ill be conditioning myself to carry it coming this convention Switching hands and putting it down like a DLT seems to work though if I get tired, nevertheless, its a beautiful addition to my HWT build, no matter the weight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 That may be a bit much for a Heavy Weapons Trooper, but I admire your zeal! As they say, sometimes less is more... As per the CRL for level 2 (and Basic in my opinion) the armor and bucket should be .."lightly scuffed (battle worn) but not weathered like a Sandtrooper". Here are some examples: joshsurf TK 27726 Templar726 TK 72627 justjoseph63 (me) TK 10973 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a sponge, ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I used a dry brush and sponge for my sandy with water based acrylic paint, once it dries you can dry rub with a sponge to remove areas not needed, great if you want paint to stay in grooves and crevasse . Small amount of paint on a dry sponge is good for flat sections which only need a scuff. I've seen others use graphite powder and charcoal, really it's what every you feel the more confident of using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourScout[TK] Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Still need to wash some more paint off, but, it was fun to show at the con Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 What I use is something I ran across at the Dollar Store. I saw a small thing of women's black eyeshadow(?) and thought "Hey, that could work" so I purchased that and something called a "blush brush" there to apply it with. It stays on really well (although it can smear a bit) but can easily be removed if you want to go shiny white TK with a household cleaner like Fantastic. I touch it up a bit every 6-8 troops and it works perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDecisiveRaindrop[TK] Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 This thread is inspiring me to build my own rocket launcher! It would seem like a pretty fun build for an absolute novice such as myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
