Hi there Folks,
got my Hands on some old plastic Bauhaus and Imperial Troopers and did some thinking. Those Sarges look something boring, imho. So, i did a little magic with greenstuff, clippers and scalpell (Not to forget about the glue
)
What i came up with is this (first, the Bauhaus guys):
Groupphoto
Now, on to the detail. I`ll try to explain how i did it.
No big deal here, simply cut of from the normal base, glued some wryer splinter on (superglue) and added some bird-sand for prime-basing.
Simple reposition of the Arm. Cut off right where the ankle is, file down the upper side and glue in place. Fill the gap with some green stuff (use some superglue to get it fixed where you want it, keep your tools wet. I use spit.)
Back side view.
Realy easy to do, just try it out.
Now on to the third:
Here I have cut the original pistol with hand right behind the glove. Now i clipped of the complete shoulder + armor without damaging the oter details. Filing everything smoth and round.
Now clipp of an Trooper arm at the shoulder. Be aware that you shouldn“t damage the arm or shoulderarmor here. The rest is we put in our Bitz-Box.
File it clean, fit it on the Sarge and glue it on. Clipp the new arm off, where the glove would begin and glue it in place.
Next step, almost there.
Fill all the gaps with green stuff, flatten the back site like on the Photo (use your imagination a bit)
Now, flatten some greenstuff and cut out a little pizza-piece, to simulate the little armor plate located under the big one. (take a close look at the other arm for example.)
Done... for this time
