Sandtrooper 12" Image Thread

[JustinLuck]

Anyone can teach me how to remove the factory weathering?

Iso-propyl alcohol works well. I have found that it removes the top layer of paint with a few rubs without taking away the white base layer on the armor. For application of the alcohol, I recommend the cosmetic type Q-tips with the coned tips for enhanced precision.

I really loved the proto and just cannot justify the money for the production figure. Glad I canceled.

This just looks cheap and like Sideshow said, Ha! those suckers will buy it whatever it looks like, why should we bother improving it?

That's bull^^^^.

 

[FQRizzo]

That's bull^^^^.

It's the same people time and again, ^^^^^ing and moaning, as if at this point in production it will have some kind of impact. People get so infuriated by these things, they would be much happier if they stopped collecting.

I like it.Of course the weathering cant match the proto..

BEST 12 SANDTROOPER.

I don't expect good paint apps from SS never have (they're just not that good in the dept. save the rare homerun) If you're still taking their protos seriously after all this time then......

So to tell the truth the final product is what i expected. And it looks good to me, just won't be getting one for a while sadly. But i will be adding this one.

Chill guys keep it friendly, i dont want this thread locked cos i want to see more piccies

 

[jedibear]

OK folks....let's keep it civil. Spirited discussion is one thing, but name-calling (of other members or other company's) isn't necessary...or needed.

Just calm down and enjoy (or not) the figure....

Thanks.

OK....let's take this debate over to the Sandtrooper thread and leave this one for images. Thanks.

accuracy aside, the ssc version looks a lot better than the marmit to me. marmit weathering job is way understated. its like someone ran a crayola on it. the ssc isn't as good as the proto, but its much better than the marmit.

personally, I don't follow the figure from head to toe with a caliper so I can't tell its not an exact repro of the film helmet. looks good enough for me. unfortunately I can't afford it anyway.

ps, the old thread should be closed and all talk about the sandtrooper, photos and otherwise should, be done here just like it was done for other SW threads of late.
