Custom Vintage Star Wars 12 inch Stormtrooper Pauldron - Toy Polloi

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

That is a genius solution to an old yellowed toy. This is brilliant :D

[@stuartglover1221]

Pure genius @toypolloi the pauldrons look amazing on the smaller and the larger scale figures 👍👍👍

[@TheRowlandstone73]

I've always thought the bright orange pauldrons look the coolest on Stormtroopers, but the brown definitely suits this nicotine trooper.. I mean, sand trooper! :D

[@twin30mm86]

Fantastic. The next time the wife catches me fondling a black leather dress, I can use this video as an excuse. Thanks Dave

[@TheNightBadger]

The Black Pauldron! Simple and effective.

[@retrorevival617]

Now I get why you bought that black dress! makes more sense than buying by the metre - They look ace! :)

[@toypolloi]

There is always a method to what I buy. And it worked a treat. Not sure anyone can still wear the dress now :D

[@michaelgarcia7539]

Wow! Another great tutorial! I cant wait to add this pauldron to my 12 inch stormtrooper! Thank you very much!

[@HappyCynic]

Lucky that your wife knows about your hobby or questions may have been asked. 😁

[@Raysboss302]

Here is Nothing wrong.. (wave hand).

[@waltjackson9381]

Beautiful Dave!

[@GALAXIE67]

And he does it again!! Great video 👍☯️👍

[@billpagan3070]

Amazing way to make it look great! Fits in with Sandtroopers perfectly! Genius!👍😁

[@Tim-57]

Thanks Dave. Happy Weekend 😁

[@mikesmith2718]

This is great an easy and cheap custom that looks amazing

[@greenlanternhg5141]

I like the end result, it looks battle worn 🤔 gives it character and mystery 😁 Great video 👍🏽✌🏽

[@brianartillery]

That does work very well indeed. Nice one. I might be tempted to use some of that 'pleather' to make capes for the Kenner/Palitoy 3.75 inch Darth Vader, too - I always hated their stiff PVC capes, and replaced mine with fabric. The 'pleather' might fall better, being heavier, and looser in texture than PVC.

[@salfordnurse]

I’m lucky to have a large fabric store in my town centre, and they have lots of material extremely cheap, as well as an off cuts bin. I bought a large sheet of the pleather (though a much thicker), then bought a large Jakks Pacific Batman, and used it for a replacement cape.

[@mikesmith2718]

I think I dig the pleather material better than the vinyl for the small 3 3/4 troopers after seeing this custom! Excellent work

[@CHARGERDON55]

I love the customizations.

[@grantwelsh7594]

"I've bought myself a dress!" HAHAHAHA!

[@gamerid6507]

another happy stormtrooper

[@MichaelJShaffer]

This looks incredible! You could have spent HOURS trying to get that same kind of patina/look with paints and washes. Such a great outcome. When I say you post the still on Instagram I was hoping that you would do a video to follow up. Cheers.

[@cscape1973]

Ok, I have just watched a short video of a man sicking stuff to his jeans....off camera....my life 🤣🤣

[@trewlove]

Congrats on your new dress

[@christopherhinton2875]

Pleather dress 😂 Top video

[@74bobby]

That looks Amazing..

[@TheTWRModeller]

From Kenner's Star Wars collection, it's the Imperial Stormtrooper with fatigues! Gear up and get ready for patrol in another galaxy far away. Imperial Stormtrooper Fatigues from Kenner's Star Wars collection.

[@camcordernonsense5264]

The pattern reveals an adorable ghost coming at you with his mouth open? Aaah

[@simonfarrell6585]

Looks great. Love the sandtroopers. Did you know that the screen used pauldrons were already existing 1970s skateboard chest protectors? You can see them in use also on the death star gunners chest. That's the genius of SW.

[@toypolloi]

I didn't know that. But it's not surprising they re-used something like that. Looks great in the film.

[@Bonedadyo]

@@toypolloiYes, they were originally chest protection but they were for motocross.

[@ottoandnibbles]

Genius!!

[@TheAtariCreep]

Looks great bro!

[@leebush4053]

Would you consider whitening the arms then weather the figure? Great job as usual. you're a treasure to us 40 somethings

[@toypolloi]

Not on this one. I really like the way it's aged. It would be a shame to change that.

[@camcordernonsense5264]

Nice work

[@calebclayton7281]

Awesome video as usual! I was wondering, does anyone have any tips for removing old super glue? I bought a lot of figures with their arms glued straight out and I’m not sure how to remove the super glue without damaging them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@yunoyuluvit]

Is there a reason for cutting the template first, rather than cutting both it and the material at the same time?

[@jsnsk101]

As you have all that left over plether you might as well make a full size one

[@bobbyfetty8819]

Thanks for these videos. I have a 12 inch stormtrooper that i would like to restore as its very yellowed , would it be the same process as the normal figures ie with the proxide and leave in the sun ??

[@bobbyfetty8819]

Its ok ive just seen your video on it. You Sir deserve a knighthood.

[@camcordernonsense5264]

A part of me wants to clean, destain and repaint toys. I also want to leave them alone. Both are my own compulsions. No idea where they're coming from. It was clean em put em away for a while.

[@jackgahan149]

Cool!!!

[@cichlidjedi]

Prefer this way of restoration versus repro parts or hydro wash.

[@PanzermansBunker]

goo.gl/images/Yve6Gz The pauldrins on the sandtroopers had a strap connecting the front to the back that went under the arm. This addition might make the fit better.

[@No1.OriginalTrilogyStarWarsFan]

Cutting up a dress Mrs TP is going to kill you lol.

[@generalgrevious2005]

now you just need to give him the back packs like they wore

[@cscape1973]

I think the Chinese child who made that dress would be very impressed with what you did with it 🤣🤣

[@fefe4212]

Make a 3D pritned back pack

[@lindamuvic8110]

Doing a bit of CD on the down low?

[@arctrooper1230]

Anyone know if a tie fighter plastic cockpit glass can be deyellowed

[@toypolloi]

It’s hit and miss with the clear plastic. Sometimes they go cloudy. Best to just leave it if you don’t have a spare.

[@arctrooper1230]

Toy Polloi perfect ill leave it be

[@groves667]

Sorry I meant plaldron

[@manko8852]

Lord Vader isn't going to be happy when he finds out rebels blew up his caramel supply. A cheap way to get leather materials is to go to a thrift store and buy old brief cases or suit carriers. They are cheap and contain a lot of materials. Also what happened to the swanky music while cutting the pattern, are you trying silent pictures? J K

[@groves667]

Hi stormtrooper waldron is orange and not brown just watch the movies I'm you will see orange
