Here's my ENDOR Troopers so far. I have a fourth one in the work.
Went with different styles for all and tried to change some small details for each.

They look amazing! I really want to put a Battlefront Rebel together at some point.

Bit late to the party, but your builds are awesome, elvis1976. Have been following your thread for a few weeks now, and just came across your recent General Kenobi custom - and coincidentally, it's along the lines of a figure I have in the works right now as my very first custom (and my first figure in general too). Your weathering on the clothing in particular is sublime. Would love to know how you do it. :)

Keep up the good work!

I can give you some tips.

For the clothing here's what I usually do.

First I dip the clothing in a mix of black paint diluted in water. I would say 20% paint/80% water
When it's still wet I used pigment (tan, black and brown) and applied them with a big brush around the edges
Once it's dry I use sandpaper to make the cloth look more damaged and weathered
and then I finish with another round of pigments.

Nein Nunb looks great.
 
Re: Elvis1976 STAR WARS custom's •MON CALAMARI•ENDOR TROOPERS•B-WING PILOT

Your B-Wing Nein Nunb is outstanding.

And thanks for the clothes weathering tips!
 
Re: Elvis1976 STAR WARS custom's •GENERAL KENOBI•MON CALAMARI•ENDOR TROOPERS

Wow, thanks! That's really helpful. :)

What kind/brand of pigment should I look for?
