Hemble's Custom's- Update - P19 12/11/12

Hi All
I had a lot of people email me ask if I was going to start doing more figures and articulation like I did for the Assualt Sandtrooper custom below. The answer to that is yes and there will be a lot more to come on.
As everyone knows I'm more of a static figure customizer/diorama maker and when I was commissioned to do a lot of Sandtrooper paint apps I got hooked on doing more articulated figures after finishing them.
So I thought I would start of by doing a articulated figure of my favourite SW character the figure and dio were painted using Vallejo and GW paints and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels.
RECIPE
Figure - The figure is the 2010 vintage Sandy that came with the Dewback and was painted and weathered with no conversions done to it except the rifle which as had a longer barrel put on it from a 1/72 scale tank barrel.
Base - The base I got from the craft store for 10 cents and the moisture evaporator is from hasbro which was pulled apart to give it a different look. The base was built up with plaster and woodglue/PVA and sand was added while it was drying, once dry the whole thing was painted and weathered.

Really nice job on this one. Like the articulation and the modified evaporator.

Hi All
DD thanks buddy and I have to admit I'm enjoying doing these small dio's and keeping the figures articulation.

Hi All
Again nothing to major guys/gals more larger dios will be coming.
I have a number of Sandtroopers that I'm doing for a diorama and have a few left over which I have and will be doing small dio's for, this first one depicts a Sandtrooper Squad Leader in an area in MOS ESPA.
The building section depicts a typical structure that you would find on Tatooine. The only real difference is that I decided that I would make the walls a little more of a yellowish colour due to the different texture and colour if sand that you would find in different parts of a planet.
As always once I got the look and feel I wanted for both the figure and diorama they were painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels.
RECIPE
Sandtrooper - The Sandtrooper is from the Hasbro Vintage 2010 line and was given a pauldron from a VOTC Sandtrooper, I left the articulation alone on this figure as I will be only supergluing and putting the joints up on figures on my larger dios.
I added thin leather straps to the pauldron and MP40 mag pouch. I cut the old MP40 mag pouch that was attached to the VOTC pauldron and added a new MP40 pouch from a WW2 1/18 Forces of Valor German figure.
The Base - the base is from a two dollar shop, the walls of the buiding are pieces of foam glued together and then a mix of plaster and woodglue was applied over the top of it. The pipes and bits and pieces on the walls are old pieces from an old Star Trek kit, 1/35 parts and two straws from the pits box.
