That's a cool setting for sure! Scratchbuilt, I assume?
My Trooper is just about at the finish line so here's the final construction update. The arms have been completed. The same pattern of weathering has been used throughout. The white parts are first primed with Mr Surfacer 1000 and then painted gloss white. I use Micromesh to wear down the white to show the grey primer underneath to simulate wear. I've also used a dark pastel wash to highlight the details.
After the completion of the arms, I painted all of the various hands and other small details (mainly the utility belt). Here are all of the parts laid prior to assembly.
I choose a combination of hands to attach to the arms.
But the legs are popped in first. The ball joints seat with a satisfying click.
Close-up of the torso area where most of the detail occurs. As a subtle contrast, I've left the inside and edges of the white armor in primer grey. It helps to break up the monotony of the uniform whiteness of the Trooper.
The final step is to attach the arms. Voila... the Bandai Stormtrooper is complete!
It's a cool little figure that can make some realistic poses.
When I have time, I'll try and set up some better photos with the good camera.
Posing with the BIG gun!
