With the heat this week I haven't managed to finish the gatehouse, as paint was drying way too fast, but have made some progress. On the cooler evenings I did however manage to paint my Princess Leia figure, this was a impulse buy recently after Roger had posed the question of what model would we most like. Yes I could have probably sculpted one, but this seemed an easier win just to repaint the Wizards of the Coast version.
I have to say she is a very small model, but will do as a representation for my gaming. Short post today as the weather has turned I want to try and finish the gatehouse, so until next time stay safe and have fun !
Cheers Dave
She fits the bill from episode iv! Poor thing about to get stunned
ReplyDeleteThank you Dai, indeed but a lovely colour blue with the stun ! LOL I'm planning that my gaming will be set before the construction of the Death Star hasn't been completed, so before Rogue One. So will be used as on diplomatic missions ( rebel missions) of course.
DeleteAn iconic pose from an iconic figure, what is it about a woman in a white robe and a big gun. Must be my age, I'll go and have a cold shower. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you John, it is very iconic, I guess it probably wouldn't help to tell you she wasn't wearing a bra either only tape ! LOL
DeleteI hope you can verify your assertions with pictures, you know what they say, no pictures - it didn't happen. Another cold shower I think.
DeleteSadly John there was no photographic evidence, it was an interview with Carrie Fisher, who said the running joke on set was whoever messed up during takes had to be the one pulling the tape off ! LOL as for the cold showers you could probably just step outside in this weather ! LOL
DeleteIbnstant;y revognisable despite the eyes !
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe, yes with the size of her head, the eyes did end up a bit Anime
DeleteNice work Dave & a diplomat waving a blaster is always likely to get a result :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Frank, got to love a lady who knows what she wants ! LOL Would have liked a model where she wasn't holding a blaster, but they don't seem very popular
DeleteNice work on her, Dave! They got her pose bang on, even down to the cinnamon roll hair, and the paintjob's great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt, it is a very classic pose from the film
DeleteVery nice work Dave, as you say "No bra's in space!" strange then that Lucas had her in a metal one two films later.....
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thank you Roger, indeed, but then if you look at the outfits of the dancers and backup singers, it gives a open look at his psyche ! LOL
DeleteIconic look and lovely painting!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain, thankfully another cast member finished, still got quite a few to go ! LOL
DeleteVery nice, Dave. Like you, I'm having problems painting in this heat! Paint dries too quick.
ReplyDeleteThank you Martin, the heat can really hamper painting, was waiting until 10 pm to paint this one so the paint would move not just dry on the brush ! LOL

ReplyDeleteNice work Dave. Painting kniwn characters is not a job I favor. You've done this one well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Harry, it can be quite daunting, making sure the colours are right, but pushing ourselves, can see improvement in our skillset
DeleteA real classic!
ReplyDeleteThank you Azazel
