Very cool Mike, I've been impressed with the cockpits and other stuff you've been doing with those markers. I'd be interested to see how you get on with that sander.

I have the mini sander from David Union after following jkim many builds. Well worth the $100 shipped directly from Taiwan 3 or 4 years ago.

Whatever sanding needed. Sometimes it’s better than doing it by hand. I like the fact it’s variable speed. Slow, medium, fast and whatever speed you want in between. Comes with sandpaper sheets and a variety of sanding heads. I can position sanding heads horizontally or vertically.

Not familiar with Medic’s sander brand. He didn’t mention if it’s a variable speed type, variety of sanding heads, sandpaper sheets, etc…

Even my Dremel is a variable speed type.

Nice score, Carlos! I haven’t seen the Stormtrooper figure kit since the Star Wars movie first came out back in the mid 70s.

I don’t remember seeing any Stormtrooper kits back then. But this is a 21st Century Bandai kit anyways, and builds up like a Gundam, so I am really looking forward to building this one. Something truly new for me :hmm:

I did this kit back around 1984…

That’s the kit with the Stormtrooper but on a speeder bike :lashed:
