This guy looks awesome! Ooh I cannot wait to see him all nice and dirty....

He really does look perfect, I wish I could replicate things that well with found objects...


And welcome to SSF batt105!



I hope you enjoy your time here. (In the Star Wars Customs section, I mean. There can be some very nasty people in the regular Star Wars section! I won't even get into the people in the rest of this place.... )

Looking at this R1, I now think the emperor had only few inspiration when designing Vader's helmet and armour ...

Thank you all guys. I did more paint work today. What a pain.
There's only 2 things that are found objects. The Body which is an ABS drain pipe from Home depot and the top of the head is a cut down clear Christmas ornament. The rest is scratch. Oh wait the tubes are Lego.

I really don't think he's going to get a heavy weathering. It will be very painful to do it.

Now I have to figure out the Sandcrawler Treads. Anyone know how big the threads are 1:1?

I think one idea that was suggested was to just build a sandcrawler around a minivan... That should give you the right scale!

Re: 1/6th R1-G4 custom project 90% complete

that is unbelievably awesome..............

hate to ask but are you going to bang him up & weather him at all?
i would be so torn to scratch up that paintjob but if you are a screen accuracy follower...........it's a must.............

 

[OT Freak]

Re: 1/6th R1-G4 custom project 90% complete

Yeah I guess I should. I'm not very good with weathering though. I haven't really done it before or really tried.

Re: 1/6th R1-G4 custom project 90% complete
