Carpo1 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi all, long time no post! As per the topic title - Bandai's 1/12 scale Speederbike and Scout trooper. The trooper is a great foundation for this figure but the horrible articulation of the joints make this a bit of a nightmare. More putty than plastic! The bike is a great fun build with lots of room to play with interesting weathering techniques. Cheers, Carpo 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootyPuffJunior Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Very well done! The scout trooper looks great with all of the joints filled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostrich Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Filling all those joints was absolutely worth the effort. Lovely finish on the speeder and the figure. I especially like the pose. Not too much action, but in motion and he's looking alarmed of something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I too kept waiting for him to move! Cracking stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Really like this, the filled joints transform the figure. Nice work on sculpting the folds too. I do have one small suggestion - there's just a wee sense that he's a bit light - maybe some moss or something built up on the log around the front foot would show where the weight is better? Cheers, Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherMole Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I like that a lot. Super figure, speeder bike and the base pulls it all together really well. Loving the vegetation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Rose Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Love it! Looks like a nice natural pose, and the model itself is great, especially the groundwork; very Endor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpo1 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi Batcode. The groundwork is a mix of green and black tea leaves with some dried herbs from the spice rak. Plants are seed heads from various grasses and pla ts from my garden. The green plants are from a model railway shop. Hope that helps? CHEERS, carpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
