discussion Bandai 1/12 Boba Fett

[Alan 45]

hello you fine people I hope all is well ,

I have just got over a serious bought of illness that had me in hospital for a day but I'm ok now just got to keep myself fit but I have kept busy and over the last fortnight I built and painted this Boba Fett figure not a bad kit but more toylike unlike the stormtrooper the elbow and knee joints are not very well engineered and it would take too much filing and sculpting to make a descent figure but I'm very pleased with the paint job

Completely brush painted in Vallejo and citadel acrylics

I hope you like it and comments welcome View attachment 284801View attachment 284802View attachment 284803View attachment 284804

Looks great.
Nice weathering and a very realistic and dusty looking bounty hunter.

 

[Snowman]

Excellent job on the bounty hunter!!

I can see what you mean about the joints, but a cracking job on the painting and weathering.
