Did a bit more to the YubNub stomper

Printed troopers and parts

They all look great. Did you print all the armor yourself? Where did you get the jump suits? Also selfmade?

Yes the armour is printed and I made the stormtrooper under suits, the Tank trooper under suits might be homebrew or I might have replaced them at that point

What material did you use for the undersuits ? Some stretch fabric? 3d printers are the best that could happen to custom freaks,even though they are not cheap. Did you get data sets for the armor?

 

[Johno13]

I use 4 way stretch fabric (it was a black seat cover off ebay, sold as a wedding reception seat cover). If I buy an armour file it's generally a 1:1 scale set that I modify for 1/6, the first style of armour is usually the hardest as your setting up the scale and fit for the body your using but now I'm set up to army build R1 and ANH Stormtroopers I modelled my own sandy pack bits so I can do any of the (4 ?, can't remember it's been a while since I deep dived them) packs. I commissioned a 1:1 snowtrooper helmet years ago so that served well as a base for Veers and Ferrix Troopers. 3d printing is awesome and a game changer but theres still room for the old techniques, I've been printing for over 10 years now with fdm then started with resin when the Photon cam out, my latest kick is Lars line up droids but I just got a load of SS R2 units off TheSonofDengar / Kash so I'll be printing new heads for a few, but one's getting a servo stuffed up it's bum to make his head spin in the back of an X Wing

This is working at a pro level. Your prints look awesome. Yeah,scaling down to 1/6 makes sense. I especially like the Veers helmet,I wish they would finally give us that one in1/6. Sadly I neither have the space nor the ability to try something like this. Can’t wait to see more off your great work,it’s a pleasure to see what you are putting out there. Good luck with that spinning head

I bought a frikin Layzor, sadly no shark to mount it on though. Going from my low level 3d modelling skills to 2d and lightburn was not as difficult as I was expecting, still a learning curve but it's a gentle one so far. Managed to draw up the files for a few DS style walls. Doing myself 9 to run across a 180cm shelf might cut it to 7 and a door though.

That's very cool!!

Wow,that will look awesome. Hope you get it done the way you wish. Can’t wait for the result

 

[Cagoda]

Woah! What laser did you get? Is it an affordable option for custom work? Great job!

All in its cost about £1700 so far

 

[Johno13]

But it's fun

 

[Johno13]

Still got lots to do. Another 3 walls, an end for the left side, electrics (was gonna put a screen in but the ones I have are too small), mesh, top and polish the floor to name but a few. Oh and paint, thats just primer and needs a grey blue painting but I'm looking for rattle can as airbrushing all that will be a pain

 

[Johno13]

Test rings for an extended falcon cockpit and the start of a patrol speeder

 

[Johno13]

Finally getting round to doing myself some Sand Troopers. Sideshow place holder but I'm starting with Move Along, Got a lid of solobones, I've dialled in my laser for the leather Pauldrons and I think I have the forearms the right shape because of Bones too. Printed armour, pack and I'm going to try to get the weathering as close as I can to the 1:1 prop

 

[agonistes86]

I'll be following this with great interest!
I'm slowly ramping up do my move along sandie as well with one of Will's buckets.
