Stormtroopers & Boba Fett

[stone-cold-lead]

Troopers are Nice and clean! BUT Boba is just breathtaking...
 
I too have a Knight Models set of Storm Troopers, boy are these guys thin.
So far I was a bit intimidated to start assembling them...
(I always try to imagine how thin a Storm Trooper is without his armour...)

Did you get metal or resin legs and torsos?

[Colonel Tubby]

WOW! You have turned out fantastic set there, in fact there is nothing I can add to whats already been said!

All brittle metal... 

[stone-cold-lead]

All brittle metal... 

What are the ankles like? I'm guessing a little fragile due to them being thin and also not pewter but the resin ones did strike me as being a snapping risk.

Amazing paintjob on both Stormtroopers and Bobba Fett

Wonderful stuff Simon!

Had a bit of a mare trying to find a definitive colour scheme for Fett. Jet pack, cloak thing and gauntets seem to vary from one example to another so I just picked one and left it at that. 

I very nearly binned his helmet antenna as it was so twisted out of shape it looked like a bit of sprue!

There's a reason for the variation.  It's not the same costume in Empire or Jedi (two different costumes, the jedi one is a recreation that has slight differences.  The ep4 (SE) one is also different because it is another recreation).

Very nice painting on Boba Fett, and finally i see "proper" white on stormtroopers armor.

Im not adding much to the conversation, but I feel the urge to compliment your spectacular work yet again.

You set an incredible standard with your Star Wars stuff.

Thanks for the comments all. Glad the paint jobs please.

Very true.  The EE-3 carbine rifle he sports does mark him as the ep6 ROTJ version.  There seem to be more reference photos available for this version too.

Lucasfilm weren't particularly careful about HOW they stored the costumes - with the end result being that by the time George wanted to reshoot parts of eps 4-6, most of the costumes had suffered so much damage that they could no longer be used and had to be redone.

I think I almost just fell of my chair, Simon, these are fantastic!

[Kalle]

ZOMG! 

Great Boba Fett Stone cold!
And great storm troopers. How did you paint the white on their armor?
