Hello everyone,
I’m taking a short break from the armor section again
As usual, this is my “rest” model — and this time also a test build in terms of paper and print. It’s the first time in quite a while that I’ve printed model templates at home.
I printed everything on a Canon printer using Canon Photo Paper Matte (170 gsm).
After printing, I coated all the pages with Americana varnish to protect the surface.
For this project, I chose a relatively simple free model of a Sandtrooper from the Star Wars universe — my second favorite subject after WWII armor
Julius Perdana from Paper Replika has designed some excellent models in this theme.
I’ve already built his Scout Trooper on a 74-Z Speeder Bike in 1:12 scale.
This model was originally in 1:6 scale, so I downscaled it to 1:16 to match my collection.
This particular Sandtrooper (also known as a Desert Stormtrooper) is a squad leader, identified by the orange shoulder pauldron. He is equipped with an SD-48 survival backpack and a T-21 light repeating blaster.
By downscaling, I slightly increased the difficulty, but so far everything has been manageable in terms of part size and paper thickness.
