Wohoooo!
At last, am finally done with this project. I started during the Christmas break and was finally able to do the snow/Hoth scene dio.
Check out more of the pics after the break. I promise to upload my Work-In-Progress (W.I.P.) photos and notes soon.
Last update, I was done with the Plaster of Paris pour and the thing’s all set and dry for the painting.
Let’s check out some build notes on that, shall we?
Around 6 weeks into the project. Had to shelf it for some time due to work (uber-busy).
Now that the Christmas break’s here, I have more time for the mod.
The first update was about prepping the carbonite block and test-fitting the converted 12″ Han Solo vinyl kit. The second update was getting the hands and the torso ready before sealing it in. Now, the thing is ready for the “carbonite slush”.
Alright, it’s been around 3 weeks since I started this mod-build project. I’ve been working on it for 2 weekends out of the 3.
Here are some short updates about the build…
After my great online shopping spree of sci-fi kits and figures, I still have a lot of pending model kit projects. My last fully completed model kit was the AT-ST with the simple base.
Almost all of my pending kits are around 80% to 90% done. Most of them just have to be finally assembled or mounted on their corresponding dioramas. There’s been a LOT of stuff going on at work… so I had to shelf them for a bit.
Now that LIVE 2010 is done, I think I finally have time to go back to the hobby.
If you’re a Star Wars addict (like me), your eyes would probably light up to cool, collectible Star Wars trinkets, toys or gadgets.
I’ve rummaged through the net to share with you what I found.
Have a look!
I’ve never seen Vader get this much beat before.
Here’s a new trailer for the upcoming Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed 2. Enjoy and feel free to share. Thanks!
I had a great deal of fun (and practice) making the smaller AT-ST walker. This one, the AT-AT is bigger at around 8 inches tall. I’ll be able to apply the things I learned from making the AT-ST into this kit. Also, if I have the time, I might build a diorama (snow-based, of course) for this baby.
This weekend, I started the painting process. If you missed the first part (the assembly) you can click here…
More photos follows…
Finally finished last weekend the Star Wars AT-ST kit from ERTL-MPC. This kit is among the sci-fi haul I got a couple of months ago.
It took just 2 weekends to assemble and paint. I even finished the small base (of which I have a tutorial HERE and HERE).
More photos of the finished kit after the break…
Last post, I showed you how to do the initial mold of the base via an old photo frame and some Plaster of Paris. This week, once the entire thing has dried, it’s time to add the details and then finally paint it.
Let’s go…
