![[Tatooine Display with Sandtroopers] Hi All
On father's day just gone I was a very lucky dad a got not one but two SS Sandtrooper's. So I thought about doing a dio with them but decided that I would do a display for them instead so that I could arrange them around whenever I wanted.
Recipe
Sandtroopers - Are from Sideshow and are the ones that come with all the extra weapons and the rubbery sand base. Nothing to major was done with them just a good repaint and weathering using Vallejo, GW paints and chalk pastels.
The base - The base is made from marine foam and cut out to the design you see in the pics. The walls have been covered in plaster of paris and PVA/woodglue and the base was covered in fine washed river sand.
The door was made using thin cardboard from a ceral box, and the frame section in front of the door was done using Evergreen plasticard .
The intercom was made using parts from 1/1000th Star Trek nacelle some 7" Artasylum communicators and a tricorder and a old paint lid.

Recipe
Dewback and Sandtrooper - Are from the new set, the Sandy has just had a repaint and I left the articulation so he and be used off and on the Dewback.
The Dewback has had it's joints superglued and sealed using polymer clay. The harness has been removed and replaced with a leather one the only parts I used was the saddle, large rolls and the plastic mouth grips.
The reins have had metal O-rings added and leather used, I used 1/6 buckles to complete the harness. The extra gear is parts from some WW2 German and American equipement.
I decided to give the blaster it's own holster like I did with my 1/6 version and also added a holster for the prode stick as well.
Base - Was one I used for a 1/6 WW2 German dio I did a while ago, I dropped it while I was cleaning a decided to use it for this. The Dewback can come off so it can be moved around.](userimages/customs/35000/34580-1.jpg) Sandtrooper and Dewback Star Warsby HembleHi All

The building section depicts a typical structure that you would find on Tatooine. The only real difference is that I diceded that I would make the walls a little more of a yellowish colour due to the different texture and colour if sand that you would find in different parts of a planet.
As always once I got the look and feel I wanted for both the figure and diorama they were painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels.
RECIPE
Sandtrooper - The Sandtrooper is from the Hasbro Vintage 2010 line and was given a pauldron from a VOTC Sandtrooper, I left the articulation alone on this figure as I will be only supergluing and putting the joints up on figures on my larger dios.
I added thin leather straps to the pauldron](userimages/customs/30500/30098-1.jpg) Sandtrooper Squad Leader - Mos Espa Garrison Star Warsby HembleI have a number of Sandtroopers that I'm doing for a diorama and have a few left over which I have and will be doing small dio's for, this first one d...1 comments |
![[Long Range Recon Sandtrooper] Hi All
LONG RANGE RECON SANDTROOPER
I've always wanted on of the Hasbro's 1/6 Dewbacks and when I finally got one I just had to redo it. When I started this project I wanted I Dewback carrying more then just a sack or two.
So I started adding heaps of gear and transformed the Dewback and Sandtrooper into a Long Range Recon unit. And as always the figures and scenery have been painted, drybrushed and weathered using Vallejo, Games workshop paints and pastels.
RECIPE
Figure - The whole figure is from Medicom except the body which is an old Sideshow Body and the hands which are from Sidsshow Indiana Jones figure with the armour added from the Medicom figure. The extra gear on the Sandy is the map case and bino case which are both from Dragon models.
Dewback - The Dewback is from Hasbro I removed the old rubber reins and gave it some leather reins from the parts box. The clips are from some 1/6 WW2 German bread bags and the O-rings are again from the parts box.

I picked up a Medicom Sandtrooper cheap from a member over on mousedroid and once I received him I couldn't resist giving him more of a battle weathered look. The hands can be removed and the spare set attached and the upper torso and arms can still be articulated for more poses.
RECIPE
Sandtrooper - The Trooper as mentioned is from Medicom and I was very surprised how detailed this figure was, there have been no modifications done to the figure except for painting and weathering. The figure was painted using Vallejo paints and weathered using Vallejo paints and Pastels.
Blastech T-21 - The weapon is a modified WW1 machine gun I removed the circular magazine and replaced it with bits from the parts box. The sling is from a WW2 German MG-34, it was then weathered using Vallejo paints and Pastels.
Base - The base is two pieces of foam core glued together and then once dry I painted it then added sand. Once dry the sand was given a wash of light brown then drybrushed](userimages/customs/17000/16517-1.jpg) Sandtrooper Star Warsby HembleHi All

![[Search Party Sandtrooper] This is a Search Party Sand Trooper. These guys search everywhere on Tatooine to find what they are looking for. Every trooper comes with a standard issue IE 1150 Blaster Rifle. If anyone insults a fellow trooper or they get a report of them stealing and destructing anyone elses property, or one of their own friends are missing, these troopers hunt them down. This recipe is a regular old Sand Trooper with a ROTS Tank Crew's Clone Figure covering on the helmet and I cut both sides of a Clone Commander's visor off and superglued it to the helmet. The antenna is from a regular Arc Trooper and the yellow utility belt thing is from a GI Joe Cobra Officer. I custom made the Blaster rifle from a WWII toy soldiers Grease Gun and I cut the Magazine off and glued a DC 17 Blaster Rifle's handle where the mag. went. I cut the regular barrel off of the Grease Gun and glued the front part of a regular Stormtrooper's Blaster Rifle on where the barrel went.

Now with the garrison secured and fully operational the Empire knew that they needed new equipemant and uniforms to help the troops work better in these harsh enviroments so testing was done on a number of uniforms. So beagn the the trials to see what uniform would suite the troops in these harsh condition which would serve the Empire better.
