Stormtrooper Squad Leader 1:6 scale

Hemble · Oct 21, 2017

Hi All,

Just completed this one last night.

Recipe

Trooper - is from Bandai and is 1:6 scale, I built it straight out of the box and was weathered using Vallejo and Army Painter paints and Pastel Chalks.

The rifle was given a sling made using a strip og leather and o-rings and a buckle and clip from some 1:6 parts I had in my bits box.

The pauldron and ammo pouch are from a Sideshow Toys Sandtrooper and the right hand holding the E-11 is also from the Sideshow Sandtooper and I removed the armour plating and swapped it out for Bandai one that came with the kit.

G’day Ron ,

Mate , it could be just me , but the helmet on that trooper ( in some photos ) look too large for that frame :confused .
Otherwise nice mods and weathering .

Excellent build!

Like what gedmac66 said, Bandai's large Trooper has a ridiculously out of scale head. Not your fault, but it always put me off to this kit too. Your paint work and execution are great though.

Wow, never noticed the head before. I guess the pauldron and pouch kind of emphasize the oversized helmet

Regardless of helmet size though, Great work on it on the kit

Hey Ged, yeah the helmet is actually a tad big even without the pauldron/ammo pouch but they do make it look a lot bigger and thanks mate.

Cheers Chris and it is a shame that they have it this way but hopefully they will go back and redo the helmet again.

Thanks blakeh1 and I have been thinking of getting more of the 1/6 Bandai troopers and buying Sideshow trooper helmets separate and adding them to the body and this will still be heaps cheaper then getting a Sideshow or Hottoys version.
