FOR FETT SAKE !

Later in this post is the last of the good side of the pieces but I'm going to start with the Dark Side in Jango Fett.
He was only seen in one movie episode 2 The Attack of the Clones where he was a bounty hunter contracted to kill Padme, but was also the DNA template used for the clone troopers. He lost his head in a battle with Mace Windu in the battle for Genosis.

Here you can see the base colour for his undersuit and face markings

Next his armour has been basecoated

The finished version with all the details and highlights.Was pleased with the result and happy I had a chance to finally paint a version of Jango.
Next up is his son Boba Fett, he was actually an unaltered clone of Jango, but raised as his son, he worked a lot for Jabba the Hutt, until being swallowed be the Sarlaac, although anyone who has read the expanded universe knows he survived being digested and emerged back into the universe.

Here is the base colour for his undersuit.

Next is the base colour for some of his armour

Now all the armour plates have been based

Next the pouches have been blocked in

Here is the finished version, with all his weathering added.
Last today is C3PO and R2D2, who have been the longest running characters in the franchise, they have appeared in every episode of the saga, and even make a guest appearence in one of the spin off movies as well, sorry no WIP shots as these were started when I first got the set and just neede finishing

That's it for this post with more Dark Side to come, so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

  1. Dave, I'm blown away by your paint jobs on these figures. I can see the larger scale of the figures is a big asset to your fine detail work.

    1. Thank you Bryan, I've really enjoyed painting these larger scale figures as they give so much scope for experimenting on

  2. I thought at first these two bots would qualify for an X rated certificate, nice painting though ;)

    1. Thank you John, LOL on the bots, have you ever thought that R2 is a bit of a sod, as he knows who Darth Vader Yoda and kenobi are and never tells anyone through 3 movies ! ROFL

  3. Nice Dave & have to say I was surprised to see R2 & 3PO on the same base, but the plus side to that is that you get an extra model :)

    1. Thank you Frank, I guess they thought of them as a pair, but as you say a bonus model, which is always a win in my book

  4. Strangely enough, I was Googling Mandalorian armour earlier, so this is not the first time I've seen Fett & Son today... other than in their long-running sitcom of course...

    Nice work, Dave. I know these are larger scale, but exactly how big are these pieces?

    1. Thank you Jez, what a coincidence you were looking at Mandalorian armour, ah yes the classic series Fett and Son always good for a laugh.
      They are 85 mm tall not including base
