SUPER TROOPER WIP!

Hey guys- Well after recieving my new FP budget from ASOK, and essentially seeing this shot of the glossy super trooper, I decided to take a stab at it myself. Theres just something about this classy, non-weathered lid that really catches my eye. Also, notice how the red/blue arrows mirror that of the ROTJ fett. Anyhow, below are some pics post dremmeling, sanding, tad of puddy (from dremmeling ; ), and the second coat of primer. This afternoon I plan to hit the first coat of gloss white (rustoleum). Ill keep you guys updated as I progress through this WIP.

Hey guys- : ), yes I meant mirrored as in "matches"..mainly referring to the colors (red and blue). I thought it was a nice suttle touch. Although there seems to be a couple different versions in the gallery, I really liked the image I posted and will use this and one other as a reference. Correct me if im wrong but the RF seems to be the same as ESB?
Thanks guys

B - LOL!!! You are going to have to build a room just for your HELMETS!!! Glad to see you back on; missed ya for a bit. Loike your other work, I know this will turn out AWESOME and I'm marking it so I can check on your progress. Drop me a line!

Make sure you the left ear white most people do it silver which is wrong the only parts showing metal are on the right ear set up on the same place that are expossed metal ESB,
and the green arrow is almost green but it is almost black
 
Hey BG thanks- Which arrow..the front? I thought it was blueish? Also, I cant find any good reference pics of the right ear?
Thanks
 
The one you posted is pretty good, but there are better ones around ,
and the arrows, right is red and left is black green, and the borden is bare metal
 
Thanks BG- Ya, ive seen some pics w/ the borden bare metal, and some white...Ill probablly do that topically along w/ the arrows. Many of the pics in the gallery are black and white which makes it difficult to decipher the small details.
Thanks man
 
No problem , its very likley that all the arows were that same colours there for you can use the PP2 and ROTJ for the colour refrence for them and seeing as the bordens are all bare metal it makes sense ,
 
Hey guys- What are your thoughts on weathering the super trooper up a bit? Maybe some smoked edges, as well as crevaces etc? Ive been kicking around the idea.

B - Yes, we definitely have to get together. Are you talking about SDCC? or LB? I'm going to attempt LB, but I think SD is SOLD OUT. I'm not sure. I'll look into it and let you know. Now, in regards to weathering.....I would say, "no." Since I don't think it ever saw any screen time, weathering would completely dimenish the accuracy. With that being said, it's your build and you gotta go where the feeling takes you! Either way, it's gonna look awesome!
