Repainted SS Sandtrooper

[LOPIE]

Have you thought about replacing the MP40 ammo pouches with some leather newline ones?

Do you have a link?

Did you remove the dirt or paint over it? Texturally, the factory dirt apps feel really smooth, so I contemplated painting over them also.

good job Loopie.. Make sure you post the paint you use to for the repaint.

The paint I used is for air brushing it’s called “CREATEX AIRBRUSH COLORS”. For the light sandy color I used SAND color and for the darker brown I used DARK DROWN. I did not air brush these colors I used the dry brush method. If you use a dry bush the paint should lay flat on the armor. Now, is it going to lay as flat as the original paint apps NO. But at least your paint job will look better then SS.

The weathering looks great, but I feel it's a little over done
I think you need to whiten him up a bit more as the sand does not stick to the armour as much as you have depicted.
Maybe it's the photo and it looks more white in hand

Ever wonder about that one trooper who got separated fro the rest of the crew. Well the SAND got him. I'm having a lot of fun with this figure I really like it I can’t wait for the orange trooper to come out.

I think the weathering on him looks great. Im gonna mess with a few of mine when i get them just to get a bit more variety.

In these pics it looks perfect.

I guess it was just the lighting
Awesome work
