I put all of the Black Series, models, and Figuarts into the shelves together, but some side-by-sides don't work. The models works great with Black Series but Figuarts is slightly smaller. You gotta kind of separate them, especially troopers. The Figuarts troopers are noticeable smaller than the models. And then model Boba Fett is bigger than the Figuarts Jedi, so can't put those close. But with some spacing and Black Series between they all work overall.

So I was thinking about getting two of these to set behind my SH figuarts Vader on my display shelf. I was wondering how they are scaled to that Vader figure because it goes without saying I can't have troopers larger than the man in black. I have been weighing my options for a nice trooper figure for a while, and I also love the model kits. However I was put off on getting the trooper models because I got the Scout Trooper & speeder, and he is huge compared to my figuarts figures. So I was wondering if that would be the case here. Still for 40 bucks I can get two of these bad boys, and have that iconic Vader with trooper set up, and that is hard to beat for the price if the scale is right.

@TheFwoosh

The problem is that Vader is too short to fit in with other companies (even the models) 1/12 scale offerings. For some reason Bandai likes to make armored SHF characters short and all the same size. They are releasing a new, bigger Vader here in the next few months that kind of seems like an apology for the first being small. If I were you and was keeping that original Vader, I'd grab a couple of the SHF Stormtroopers. This model would be way too big.

The smallest pistol doesn't really fit in the holster, it's made specifically for the medium blaster.

Ok thanks. ;-)

So I accidentally broke the piece that goes above the right knee. How would I go about fixing that? I am thinking super glue, but are there other ways? I am new to figure model kits, too, by the way.

Super glue should work just fine. I've used it a couple of times and it's bonds really well.

I guess it's better to remove the joint before using the glue, so it doesn't interfere with the joint, huh?

@TheFwoosh

Oh yeah, try to get it as far down to individual parts as you can. You definitely don't want to lock up the joint with glue.

I love this one, it's just better looking all around. I'd trade my Black Series troopers for more model kits. Give the kit a try.

Are you talking about the back hip parts of the belt, where the holster hangs? Use the ones meant for the holster, even on the side without holster.

さぁシール部分と腹のスイッチを筆でグレーに塗り、自分でヘルメット横のモールドを掘り起こしてヘルメットの Sumi 　ire にチャレンジしてみよう。 それだけで君だけのトルーパーがさらにドレスアップされるぞ！ 足首の白くて丸い間接のパーツはあまり強度は高くないので、みんな動かす時は気をつけてね。

Wait, what is the difference between a waterslide and a sticker?

@TheFwoosh

7 жыл бұрын

Stickers just peel off the sheet and then stick on the model. Waterslides have to be cut out, placed in water for a bit, and then slid onto the model. It's more of a process that can be frustrating at times but the finished look is better than a sticker. No raised edges, looks more like paint. I still search for tutorials here on KZread when I go to do them.

yeah hey I was wondering can I have the black series snowtrooper that I saw in one of your reviews ??????

Legos are blocks. Like the Gundam models, these are primarily models first, and action figure second. Think of a model airplane with articulation. Put it in a pose or two and set it for display.

Do you use glue?

@TheFwoosh

No glue needed, all the parts kind of snap together and hold as long as you don't go super cray on them.

Any of these reviews talking about the legs not going back very far, stand up right now and see how far back you can swing parts of your leg while standing straight. Not very far, huh?

Hey. Mate, just so you know. Waterslide decals are easier than stickers. Plus you don't get that Horrid ridge around sticker. You You don't need anything fancy, like sol/set etc. just water. If your going for a pro look some decal soft, which you apply before decal is dry. All you need is water, cocktail stick, cotton bud(que tip). You have a steady hand, as we've seen you put stickers on. Don't be scared give it a go. Also, for best results when painting a base(speeder bike) undercoat, then add a base colour(allow to dry), add a dark wash(very thin watered down darker colour) to show low areas. Let it dry. Then dry brush a lighter coat just to bring out the highlights. I hated watching you distroying your paint bushes. I really like you videos for beginners, you have a great manner, and way of speaking to your audience. But some of your tecnic's are a tad uninformed. Goodluck with future videos. Looking forward to sandtrooper and Boba Fett.

Stomping Freak I may just give the waterslides a try with the Sandtrooper. I have all the supplies, and since I'm going to attempt to dirty him up afterwards I'm not as nervous about screwing it up. Thanks for the advice man. And yeah, my drybrush technique is rough and tumble, but those brushes are way past their lifespan and have looked like hell for years. I'm so out of practice it's embarrassing. Need to work on that.

Hey mate. Look sticker are a pain in the butt. Cut your decal out using a sharp hobby knife. Dip it in warm water, wait 30-40 sec. Gently use cocktail stick to see if decal has loosed from backing paper. When it stars to move, with a bust dampen the are of the model your about to decal. Then gentle move the decal onto you model. Gentle move it into place. Allow to dry. Just take your time. It's easy, honest. You don't need supplies, unless you've done this a lot and are going for a pro finish. Just remember, if you paint a model, clear varnish. Allow to dry. Add decals. Allow to dry. Clear varnish over decals and allow to dry. This protects the decals when you come to weather your model. Please message me if you have any questions. Also with Bandai kits, if you feel the need to glue, you've done something wrong. I've just finish 50 stormtroopers(built) an I'm just finish, 10 with decals. Take you time, enjoy your build. It's ment to be relaxing. Stickers are stressful. Just so you know. I'm not a pro. I've painted, build models most my life from air fix, to painting war hammer 40K. But you lean something new with every kit you build. Between you and me, you putting on stickers is far more scary then decals. Oh. When you cut your part away from the tree, leave just enough for clean up. Don't trim too close to model as you did with C3P0. I would recommend some, small sanding sticks...like the ones women use on their nails. Just be gentle. You have a great presenter style, just your knowledge is just in need of a retune. here to help, plus I have friends who do this for KZread, and would be happy to answer/help with any of your question. At the end of the day, your promoting a great hobby.

hey wouldn't it be cool if they made a star wars black series star wars rebels stormtrooper or maybe the inquisitors the new ones and the old one or maybe zeb or Ezra or Hera or chopper wouldn't that be cool !!!!!!!!!!

The top of Luke's head is at the model Stormtrooper's eyes. He ends up looking short, but then again he is "a little short for a Stormtrooper." That also matches up with the Black Series Stormtroopers though. The model is only slightly taller than them.

Hey The Fwoosh I am a huge fan, your the guy I go to for reviews we tend to like the same figures, Keep up the good work and thanks for the quick replies. Think you could do an instagram post or even a video showing size comparisons with SH Figuarts (luke, obiwan, and any others, with model kits) I am hoping to save money by getting all my troopers as model kits but if the scale doesnt work then I have to scrap that plan. Thanks man, everyone does size comparisons with all the troopers but no one has done one with the human characters and the model kit troopers.
