Title: Han Solo and Darth Vader
Post by: stone-cold-lead on August 14, 2011, 09:57:27 PM: These took a bit longer than intended but I'm pretty chuffed with the end result (although the photo's could be sharper). Miniatures are Knight Models 30mm range and like so many of my recent pieces they're based on Fenris bases (had to add some gubbins for Vader to lean on though).

Got three more models to do yet to go with them. Chewy, Luke and Leia.

that's a photoshopped pic of Harrison Ford and a Fenris base ;)

Post by: Hawkeye on August 15, 2011, 03:55:13 AM: Stunning - amazing shading/highlighting on both. Han's boots and waistcoat are fantastic, and the face is so good it's difficult to believe it's 30mm. Full of character - that Han Solo sneer is brilliant.

Yeah, that's exactly what I think too. ;)

Otherwise, you're VERY TALENTED, and I'm green with envy.

Thanks for sharing.

Post by: Mason on August 15, 2011, 03:30:11 PM: WOW!

When I first saw these, I thought they were some of Knight's larger scale, but at 30mm that is just phenomenal!

Seriously amazing!

'These are the figures you are looking for!'

Post by: Marine0846 on August 17, 2011, 01:06:16 AM: The Han Solo figure is too cool for words. The best ever. Darth Vader is great also, but Han is out of this world. :-* :-* Hope to see more soon. Thank you.

No problem. The white used a base mix of VGC Ghost White and GW Dheneb Stone. Then I just added white for the highlighting. Finished it off with a very thin glaze of GW Devlan Mud. Hope that helps.
