When I first saw ROTJ the rancor was one of my favourite creatures, now in the Jabba's Realm expansion you get a fair size representation of the beast. For some reason I put the model together and that was as far as I got, obviously to easily distracted. So last night with the heat and unable to sleep I decided to rectify this.
First I painted the mouth with Vallejo Rosy Flesh, then a 50/50 mix of Rosy Flesh and Pale flesh, then I stippled pure Pale Flesh over the tongue, once dry I put red glaze all over to get the right tone.
Next I moved onto the body and did a basecoat of GW Mournfang Brown, once dry I drybrushed GW XV-88 all over, I then did a directional drybrush of GW Balor Brown on the high ares that light would hit. For the face and joints I then did another drybrush this time with GW Zamesi Desert. Once these were all dry I added areas of darkness with GW Agrax Earthshade, once dry I then added green glaze to certain areas.
Last up was the claws and teeth, first I basecoated with GW Mournfang Brown, then the claws were given two coats of GW Agrax Earthshade, once dry the claws then had another coat of Mournfang Brown, Then the claws had a coat of GW XV-88 and finally a glaze of GW Ushabti Bone.
The eyes were a simple base of black, then a white dot on each eye.
THE BAND
Have now finished painting the second drummer as well, but still need to finish the drum kit.
Have also finished sculpting the last two back up singers as well.
So now moving on to the other denizens I've done the two dancers first as this seemed a natural progression first up is Oola and have also done Yarna d'al' Gargan.
Right I'm off to Bovington show, but will answer all comments as I can, will catch up on everyones blogs when I get back, so thank's for visiting and commenting and until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

Interesting fact the same actress played Oola in both the original release of ROTJ and the updated (CGI) version, as the dancer who played the part hadn't changed much in the intervening years!
Cheers Roger.
I did know it was the same actress in both versions, all I can say is she is ageing very well
Cheers Roger.
All four dancers are spot on too. You must be having fun sculpting these!? (I met Oola at a local Con some years ago. 30-odd years on and she still looks the same!)
That must be great to have met here and she still looks stunning
