Gontron Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Looks like a cross between a Dark Trooper and Centurion from 40k. I love the Empire Trooper's weapon. Quote

BEAVeR Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Wow, I love how these guys look! You've managed to keep them at a small scale so those helmets fit right in while still making it look very detailed and coherent. At this scale, every brick matters and you manage to get the very most out of every brick to make it look like a real suit of armor with a lot of Star Wars flair. What I'm impressed most by, is how you realized the angle at the knees. Structurally, it might not be very complicated, but the placement of the hinge is exactly right so that for example those binoculars slide along the 2x2 round tile perfectly and that at the front you get a gap that is just the right size for being perceived as a detail rather than a fluke of the build. In general, it really looks like the armor consists out of a lot of different pieces, but that they all are held together securely. And that from every angle... The best way I can describe this build is as it being really 'tight'. Nifty! I would love to see these in some kind of diorama, for example in an urban setting doing some crowd control. Or maybe finally giving those Ewoks a worthy opponent! Quote
Rustinidiel Posted June 25, 2023 Author Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I've updated the models, fixed the "neck system" (was a bit tricky and someone disliked it), and replaced the pics with the new ones. now, whith this new "neck system" you can use all the helmet you prefer, without collision problems Edited June 25, 2023 by Rustinidiel Quote
