Stage 2- what to do....

Now this is a "raw kit" form, which means theres a lot of finishing to do, trimming, sanding, light filling ect, but I love to work from the beginning, and fancy the challenge!

for example...

You can see round the visor, there is a lip, that needs removing, oh and the visor needs cutting out, for fear of bumping into things otherwise! lol there is also a casting seam ect that needs to go.

This will be the first mountian to climb, though along the way, i'm sure i'll spot little bits here and there that I need to do.

Stage 1- Whats in the box?!

Right then, a Legend in the States, Mike, took it apon himself to create a work of art! he sculpted this all on his own, its unbelievably detailed, and I had the honour of winning this in an auction, to help another 501st member!!!

Its missing a couple of bits, but thats how new this project is! some of the parts, he hasnt even finished yet! we will be the first "wave" of Barc Troopers people have seen in the flesh! They only exist in CGI till now.....!

Hiya!

Well, this should be the first of MANY on my new project, the Barc Trooper from Ep III Revenge of the Sith
