In 2006 I maid a 3-3/4" version of this figure and I always wanted to do a 12" version but never could find the right gear and equipment until Sideshow started making the 12" Sandtroopers. When I made the small version I kept thinking something was missing and when I started on this figure I knew straight away it was extra armour.

I kept along the same guide lines as the smaller version except I added chest and shoulder armour and decided not to go with having a bear head as I did with the smaller version. I also gave him extra gear and once I got the look I wanted I painted and weathered him and the dio using Vallejo paints and pastels.

RECIPE

Figure - The figure is from Sideshow Toys except the map case and flight suit which is from Dragon which as been dyed black. The weapons holster has been made from left over leather.

Base - The base is a picture frame from a two dollar shop, I used plaster with kitty litter and sand to do the ground work. The rebel helmet is from Sideshow and the small shrubs are from Woodland Scenics.
