Snowtrooper abdomen plate greeble

I have finished my snowtrooper abdomen plate today! Finally found some nails I could use for the greeble, so all I had to do was cut them and glue them in place with E6000.

The nails are a little rounded

Star Wars in concert with Filharmonien in Oslo

This weekend we had the pleasure of joining Filharmonien for their Star Wars concert. Our job was to do some small stunts under the concert, and mingle before and after it, and during the break.

We worked with a great conductor, Lucas Rickman, who was really nice and fun. My job was to hunt him for a bounty, so after Imperial march (last number before the break) I grabbed his arm and shoved him off the stage. After the break, we bounty hunters dragged him back on stage, and was payed off by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who obviously digged deep in his pockets to outbid our first employer. ;)

The music was great, the orchestra was great and we had a great time trooping with them again. Hope the next one is around the corner! :D


All the troopers lined up for a group photo:


The girls!


Me guarding the door:

Boushh is ready for trooping!

Well, at least I hope she is! She still need to be approved by Nordic Garrisons GML to be able to come with me to Stockholm next weekend.

The helmet is finally done, and the only thing I need to finish now is my staff. Hopefully, it will be done by next weekend, but I haven't prioritised it because it is not needed for approval, and I'm planning to have a wookiee on leash this weekend. ;)

Here are some pics!

New workshop!

We have been working on our new workshop, and except from a few shelves it is done! The room is still the same that we have used before, but we have painted and added some nice workbenches. We are ready for armour party next week! :-D


This is how the room looked like one week ago.


Me with steel brush, goggles and mask.


Ole painting the tricky area.


Measuring, everything have to be correct!


Done!

So, what do you think?

Snowtrooper boots

I've done some work on my snowtrooper boots! This is how they turned out after I added the straps. I might redo them though, because I'm not entirely happy about the look. I don't think I'll use the inner sock, the boots look way too thick compared to the ones in the movie.

Star Wars dress

I made a dress yesterday from vintage Star Wars fabric I bought on ebay. It turned out pretty cute, don't you think?

Snowtrooper codpiece

I have been working at my snowtrooper codpiece today, and I think it turned out pretty nice! It's scary to do things the screen accurate way, because on the snowtrooper that means a lot of holes, rivets, seams and other details that you never really notice in the movies. But I hope it is appreciated anyway. :)

Snowtrooper gloves and shoulder armour

Got a pair of Wells Lamont gloves from a good friend the other day! Very nice of him! They are a bit big, but they'll serve me well! Thanks a lot, Ole-W! :D


My shoulder armour, ready for weathering.


I made holes in the armour for sewing it onto the duster.

Snowtrooper handplates ready for weathering

I have drilled the holes in my snowtrooper handplates, now they are ready for weathering!

I have ordered gloves from MC, but I have no clue yet on when they will arrive. Hope they are nice, though!

Boushh helmet ready for primer!

My Boushh helmet is finally ready for primer and paint!

Some parts of the helmet is going to be covered by leather, so I'll have to mask that before I paint. I have sanded the whole helmet so the paint will stick better.

I'll start off with grey primer and then a coat of brown. I think I will drybrush and airbrush the details, because they are too small to make with masking fluid.

This helmet kit has required tons of work, but finally I'm happy with it. Everywhere you see black (apart from fingerprints) I have modified the shape. I have used a lot of milliput! I have also used a whole package of white milliput, but that doesn't show as well as the black one. ;)
