- it's 2 figures for the price of 1 (or 4 for the price of 2 if you count the riders as separate figures)
It' the Dewback and Luke on Taun Taun figure sets from Stannarts
Congrats on the Tested video!
Saw your shuttle diorama on Tested. I hope it gets you some extra subscribers.
boy did it. over 200 so far
@@aztekdummy Nice!
Sweet
Hi Lou. Seen your interview with Norm from tested. That was pretty good. Really enjoy watching your videos. And always look forward to watching them.
On a dark desert pathway, cool wind in my hair, my dewback got commandeered, and that ain't fair. Darn Sandtroopers!
Looking good so far!
From what I've read, the Empire relies on Dewbacks on Tatooine because speeders tend to break down on desert worlds. Not just the heat, but the sand apparently causes problems with mechanical conveyances as it gets everywhere, gumming up the works. Dewbacks aren't slowed down by heat and sand, so I guess they like to have troopers ride around on them for that reason. How Luke manages to keep his speeder running is beyond me. I guess he's just more accustomed to dealing with the sand and heat than the Empire is. heh.
Nice to see you on Tested the other day!
Really great build so far!
Awesome music choice for this week Lou. Very imaginative.
Fantastic work on the figures… I don’t have a knack for them. Why don’t you make a mask for the grills in the troopers helmet? That would look sharp.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🎶 Da-Dewback-back-back, Da-Dewback-back 🎶
i met her on Tatooine and my heart stood still...
Okay, Lou, your best guess: will there ever be a sandperson on a bantha? That’d be pretty cool, a big, robed mummy with pipes for eyes sitting on a woolly mammoth with no trunk. Other than the fact that it would be big enough to fill a room, that is. Very cool so far!
I'd love to see a bantha kit
Can't wait to see 'em painted. Lotta detail there.
You crushed it this week Lou. :)
I can't believe you bent that metal tube already. Okay, fine. The big puzzler is the figure scale difference. What gives? Perhaps it's the man-spreading needed. Both stretches would make Nuryev swoon with wonder. Interesting assembly so far-- and it will all be in the paint job. Excellent progress.
Yes lou congratulations on the tested video i just looked at it
I've found the best way to make surfaces look like leather is to dry brush. It can build up a suede look that is killer on model car seats.
The Aztec Dummy rap! 😂 Also I'm going to have to watch Holy Grail and Squire of Gothos this week. It's handy that you can refer to Phil's build to get a heads-up on the issues with the dewback. I agree that it's inconsistent that a desert creature would evolve green camouflage but i also agree that painting everything in shades of brown would have been boring to do and boring to look at. Oh well, back to my battles with my 1/350 NX-01 😖
Tested had your interview on their site
That's too bad about the size difference Lou. Maybe showcase them in different areas.
Nice work though. That knife is pretty awesome, I may have to try one out myself.
Your analogy is actually better than you think,Lou. The Olsen twins are actually fraternal, not identical.😃
Maybe it green because it called a Dewback. Maybe it's microscopic algae of some type that grows on the slightly moist skin?
I think what I would do to combat the scale of Luke being off (if you plan to display them together) is have Han displayed higher. The issue that I have with them is the Taun-taun is in the exact same pose. They would look better together if one had a turned head, or looking slightly in a different direction at least.
The heads are the same, but han's taun taun is in mid stride, where Luke's has his feet together.
Is Luke bigger or is Han just a bit further away? 😂 Forced perspective :D
you have a dark side...most impressive
Lou, do you thin your Tamiya Paints or use Paint Retarder when brush painting with them?
i usually thin them just a tiny bit with the tamiya thinner
@@aztekdummy Thanks Lou!
Don't paint on for me either.does my head in.wont brush at all
I'd say Han is more correct proportionally
Don't be breathing too much of that resin smoke. Maybe do that outside or by a window with a fan blowing out.
Lou + didn't you already to a Taun Taun with Skywalker just asking
I did a han solo on the taun taun. This is the companion piece to that
The Empire tried to hide the atrocities they were doing by mimicking the Sand People. Vader was clear in the beginning to create a cover up. Thus no Imperial equipment is used on Tatooine.
Geez Lou I would think after seeing your man cave you would be running out of room by now. You gluing these to the ceiling now???
I think the Empire gets undeserved criticism for bringing order to the galaxy as a result of misleading Rebel propaganda. I, for one, welcome our new Sith overlords.😉
