1/6 Sideshow Snowtrooper 2012

[Jaycepticon]

Anybody got a regular one they're trying to sell?

It would be perfect if HT did a Snowtrooper. I want at least one more and either a HT or an SSC-version that someone punts when getting the new HT will be fine by me. Perfectly happy with the look of the Sideshow and even the Hasbros with a few tweaks that someone posted manning the E-web looked sufficient to me. I guess I'm much more particular when it comes to the Stormtroopers.

I think the SSC Snowtrooper is quite good, not sure if a HT version is needed. Stormtrooper yes, Snowie no.

It's pretty clear that HT will not do recent Sideshow characters, so the point is somewhat moot for the next few years.

I'd agree... the only serious complaint I have with the Sideshow is their choice to use rubber for the face mask. I'd have preferred something that could be posed; however it prevented me from feeling the need to buy two, so the one I have looks great!

Also, just got a good deal on a Marmit AT AT Driver, so my Imperial Hoth needs are pretty well taken care of at the moment.

Here is a shot of my upgraded Snowtrooper E-Web squad....

Here is a comparison, WIP shot....

I want to thank Fahad(ZE_501) for helping me out with this project. Cheers mate.

 

[Darth Waller]

That looks so much better. If Sideshow had done that, they could've sold more. Win-win!

 

[ZE_501]

Great work, Chris!

As promised, close-ups of my masks to show you what I meant about apparent volume and fit:

Sorry for the delay; nerding out this weekend a bit since the wife is away.

Anyway, I think you have it nailed.

I find this figure is heavily futzing-dependent to help the body "flow".

Ideally it needs a body swap because the shoulders bug me more than anything, but I'm lazy and my spare bodies are going to ninja customs.

Anyway, more shots of my troops, one with the group spread out to show variations in the way the costume hangs.

Did you have a pattern for cutting the plastic? I just happened upon a nice material for the mask and might try it on my snowies.

Great shots Fahad. I appreciate the closeup pics. Thanks for all the help with this project. Im pretty happy with these guys now.

Cheers man.

 

[Racetrack]

I really hope HT do one. I debated back and forth on it for too long and then one day they were all gone.

 

[Chakaman]

Im really liking these guys. My favorite OT troopers......

ZE_501 made the masks for me. They are made of adhesive vinyl with paper backing. This lets you form/crease them until you get the look you are going for. Bending them is the tricky part, you dont want to get carried away.

Like a certain company I won't mention, cough Sideshow cough, right?
