Storm trooper with a twist final reveal

Post by MarkVerploeg »

Hi guys
So this is the final reveal for my storm trooper build
Unfortunatly the water gel takes ages to dry this time so that is still quite foggy
But with the speed of the drying at this moment i thinknit can take up to a week instead of a day
Most likely my own fault as i used quite a thick layer and i tried to speed things up by using a hairdryer wich made the top layer dry in no time but the rest will dry slower because of it
So i decided to post the reveal anyway or i would be way too late with the reveal

But anyway here are the reveal shots

And that is all i have for the reveal pics
I had a lot of fun painting the figure and i think most Star Wars fans would enjoy it
Thanks for stopping by and having a look
Take care and untill next time
Cheers
Mark

I thought she looked good before you did the base but that's a great result, Mark - fantastic detail. :clap:

Will you post a couple more pics once the water's cleared out as I'd like to see how it works out.
Cheers, Neil

Thank you Tomcat
I think that once the stuff is dry i will edit the reveal
But i have some doubts if the product was ment to be used the way i did so it can take a while

Another triumph, Mark. I think I've reviewed the foliage construction a dozen times already.

Fantastic result mate, the base is excellent, a really nice addition. Im still looking for one of these figures but they have gone off the radar. Congrats :clap:

Thank you Primus
I don't know if they are that hard to find
As far as o know they aren't one of the limited editions so they should be in production
Maybe if you can find a retailer that sells Kabuki models they can order one for you
