Wow! Love the snow troopers! I hope mine look half as good!
Thanks! As a big-time-major novice, I tried something that was very different for me. They were easy. I primed them white, then put a couple coats of matte white on them, then painted the armor glossy white. Then, I put a dark wash over the fabric parts (watch the head, part of it is armor part is fabric), with maybe a little bit on the armor - but not much. Then, I made a white wash and put it over the whole figure, then final clear coat.
I make my own dark wash by using black paint, some distilled water, and a little bit of acrylic floor polish (I think it's called pledge). I did the same thing with the white wash, only I put white paint in and made it more concentrated. I did this same process with the wampas.
I have no doubt there are better ways for more skilled painters, but this is the best I could do with my skill level and time. I really like them.
