Hey guys,
This is just a real quick, 1 hour project. I bought one of Jakks Pacific's giant Stormtroopers from Toy R Us, because, well.. It's a giant Stormtrooper. No justification needed. The scale is a bit wonky. Helmet is a bit small, blaster is enormous, and the shoulders are pretty large as well. But, for 29 bucks, still a cool piece.
I thought it might make a better looking display piece as a Sandtrooper. Now, I'm obviously not going for any sort of screen accuracy here - but here's the finished result. Weathered the armor; first with a wash to bring out some of the detail in the sculpt and give it that nice, crummy look. Then hit it with some "sand" from the rattle can. The pauldron is actually just a printed version of this template on some thin, black plastic.
I gave him some non-sa black pouches and such, one on the belt and one by the pauldron. These were made with material that was lying around the house, some plastic and leather bits. the eye lenses were given a green hue, and viola: one Sandtrooper!
