Lost Pharaoh 118 Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Sooooo, I decided to start collecting Legion too... it was the speeder bikes that got me! And to open the ledger, I hope to post something of a first - I have not yet seen anyone do a conversion like this here on the forum, but who knows what else is out there on the inter-webs. I bought two Cores, thinking I would convert one of the backward shooting riders into shooting his across his chest, to the left - like the trooper that tries to shoot Leia in the Endor chase. Then I got my Snowtroopers - I am very partial to a consistent theme across a list, so I intended to do a both an Endor-themed Imperial force, and a Hoth one. I was feeling like the Hoth list might be very limited, with just troopers and walkers, but having not seen bikes in the movie didn't think they belong... Then I saw an AT-AT diagram... and it had a bike garage in the back end! With that revelation I began the following: I've also done minor work on most of my trooper units, with leg-swaps, arm-swaps, head and pose repositioning, aiming that no two troopers will be exactly the same (heavy weapon troopers being the most difficult to differentiate) - I'll try to post some pic's later this weekend.

Lost Pharaoh 118 Posted May 26, 2018 Lots of mold line clean up and gap filling on some swapped limbs before painting can start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A while off yet - these close-up photos certainly reveal the mold lines that need to be removed. Then I have to wait for the recent spate of wet weather to end to lay down the spray-primer. And THEN there's my slow painting to contend with. :S 2 hours ago, wintermoonwolf said: your Schnee troops are great! Shouldn't that be Schnee Truppen?

That's nothing compared to his (missing) left buttock - gluteus absentia! - will need a fair bit of green-stuff work to make him whole again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
