catch2x2 Posted July 4, 2016 Here's my rendition of a "proper" minifig StormTrooper. His helmet is a standard Lego item that i tweaked very slightly - not necessarily successfully. I didn't like that the eye lenses were convex, so i filed them flat and i carved the black detail that was printed actually into the helmet. It was great in principle, but at this scale I find it is really difficult to get a clean enough finish on detail like that. Anyway, it's done now.... The armour includes front and rear chest plates, gauntlets and shoulder protection, hand protection, leg trim (rear of legs are filled so it go around 3 sides) and a little pocket detail. The blaster is a standard Lego item. Everything is custom painted and detailed. I have to be honest, this was hand painted and I have never had a great success painting white, so the finish is not the best. I've since been practising with my airbrush and have finally got that sorted, so next time it should look better. Next time I hear you ask? Yup, next in line is an Imperial Guard. I have a bride and groom minifig pair to finish off before I can start on him but I'll post him up as soon as I've finished him. Hope you like him!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShiningOne Posted July 8, 2016 Thank you so much for sharing these! It's amazing how you are able to make the finished model look so clean. Yes, painting white is difficult. Sorry for the delayed reply, hadn't checked the forums in a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
