hi everyone... it seems like it's been forever since i've been here. :facepalm
there were a few members who asked me about my avatar awhile back and i told them all about it and said that i would post images here sometime, and well.... i guess i'm here to do that after all this time.

here's my mcquarrie snowtrooper helmet. you can see the build pics here along with the armor that i've been working on FOREVER!!!
http://forum.clonetroopers.net/index.php?showtopic=9739

here's the finished products originally sculpted and casted by me from molds built by SGB.
the helmet on the left is owned by Yodasan and the helmet on the right is mine.
feel free to PM me for any details, and thanks for looking.

I've thought about doing this helmet before because I love the concept stuff! There's just something about the preproduction art of the OT that clicks.

Awesome helmet!

Check out the McQuarrie production portfolios or the ART OF THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK book. There are a few full pics in there. There's always the McQ Concept figure, too.

Excellent workmanship, I like the MQ stuff, good to see someone building scratch builds.

Yes, I am actually drawing on the face of my Dark Trooper, trying to figure out the contours on the face and eyes.

You did a great job on the weathering Adam, I like it.
