Scout's HWT Build

[YourScout[TK]]

I am building this to be 100% accurate with the Battlefront 2 (2004) Shock Trooper, which is what I think the heavy weapons trooper should be in general

 

I recently comissioned WoodChuck to build me a fantastic Minimag PTL Launcher

-------------

 

This HD version was based on the First Trike Mod's PTL Launcher. 

Since the PS2/XBOX versions were low detail, I had woodchuck make a much sharper version based on the Battlefield First Strike mod

 

 

Painted it

 

 

 

And now I am just awaiting my backpack for the final submission photos.. Thank you for viewing

Looks great!

At 8 1/2 lbs you wont be carrying that long at troops. 

 

I like the HWT for the workout. Cause it's a workout.

Haha Im slowly getting used to the weight, ill be conditioning myself to carry it coming this convention

 

Switching hands and putting it down like a DLT seems to work though if I get tired, nevertheless, its a beautiful addition to my HWT build, no matter the weight

Is this too much? I can easily wash it off

That may be a bit much for a Heavy Weapons Trooper, but I admire your zeal!  As they say, sometimes less is more...  As per the CRL for level 2 (and Basic in my opinion) the armor and bucket should be .."lightly scuffed (battle worn) but not weathered like a Sandtrooper".

 

Here are some examples:

                                         joshsurf TK 27726                                                   Templar726  TK 72627                                          justjoseph63 (me)  TK 10973

Do you reccomend anything for painting? Using a sponge, ect

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

I used a dry brush and sponge for my sandy with water based acrylic paint, once it dries you can dry rub with a sponge to remove areas not needed, great if you want paint to stay in grooves and crevasse . Small amount of paint on a dry sponge is good for flat sections which only need a scuff.

 

I've seen others use graphite powder and charcoal, really it's what every you feel the more confident of using.

Still need to wash some more paint off, but, it was fun to show at the con

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

What I use is something I ran across at the Dollar Store.  I saw a small thing of women's black eyeshadow(?) and thought "Hey, that could work" so I purchased that and something called a "blush brush" there to apply it with.

 

It stays on really well (although it can smear a bit) but can easily be removed if you want to go shiny white TK with a household cleaner like Fantastic.  I touch it up a bit every 6-8 troops and it works perfect.

Is this better weathering?

This thread is inspiring me to build my own rocket launcher! It would seem like a pretty fun build for an absolute novice such as myself.
