1/6 Hot Toys - MMS494 - Solo: A Star Wars Story Patrol Trooper

Do you remember what grit sandpaper you used there ? I have a project on the back burner where I wanted to make a road, and was going to use exactly that way as well.

Maybe you should have made the line marking at an angle across the base to make it more unsymmetrical ? The base of the figure does that too.

I used a long roll of 60 grit sandpaper. I could still repaint the base. It was just a test.

OK thanks. Yeah, just a suggestion on the base. I have seen other road bases for Batmobiles etc where the road markings were often not parallel. I guess it gives a more aesthetic look somehow ?

Of course.
This base might not end up being the final one for my build. It's just a spare piece of MDF i had lying around.
It's more of a placeholder.
I might repaint it later. And i do appreciate any and all comments on the build. I won't take any offence if someone comments on the piece, even in a negative way. I'm actually enjoying the build. I hope i can do the speeder justice!

I am not at work today but I got the basic shape for the seat set up yesterday. I just layered up some styrene onto the existing area where the seat goes. When the cement has dried(Likely on Monday), I will be able to sand it to shape.

Man, wish Bandai gets the license to make model kits for 1/6 vehicles.

Me too!
But there are few that are "small" enough that anyone could afford them, lol.

Thanks. I am glad you’re enjoying the build.
I certainly am!
When I have time I am opening up kits to see what they have that will be of use. Time to crack open that 1/24 fire engine I have been saving I think.

Thanks guys.
Just glad no-one feels I am spamming the thread with the build, lol.
I got some panelwork prep done today. I will have pics tomorrow.

Got some panelwork done and I got the main seat cushion sanded into shape.

Working on suitable greeblies. I cannot hope to perfectly recreate the original, but I am making it busy.

Thanks!
It?s really coming together.
Some pics of the parts in place and some outdoor shots with more natural lighting than my work desk affords me.

That looks great, man. Really impressive!

 

[D.R.37]

You?re definitely hooking this thing up! Greeblies and panel work look great!
