full repaint Medi Boba WIP

[eczamurai]

Hey people!

posted my finished Medi fett some time ago, and rebooted him after a collegue of mine made a suggestion using silver as a basecoat and adding layer after layer of paint, instead of using the green as a base and adding the silver. This way looks a lot better ánd is more accurate! I'm working this way right now and wanted to show some pics of the process, What you see is mostly done, apart from the visor obviously! Am contemplating wether or not to put a coating on the paint, because I love how matte he is in color atm..

there's a TON of detail on him, he has about 7 layers of paint on him right now. He's as screen accurate as I could get him with my reference and he just looks great even though theres probably some details different.

Will go on with his ears after I fix it. Broke of a little bit when trying to remove them, should be no issue as soon as I get the clay in!

hope you like it! I do!

Helmet looks beautifully weathered at the moment.

Sick. I would personally leave it matte.

while waiting for my dullcoat to arrive, I figured I might as well start on the rest of the parts!

Finished the chest armor, very pleased with it!:

enjoy!

repainted the cod piece and added the orange bars on the side of his head, Currently painting one earpiece but then Im stuck till I receive my silverpaint for the shoulders and kneepieces, dullcoat for the visor which is taking forever to reach me, also posted 2 close ups of the head

Very well done! The weathering and chipping effests are extremely well executed!

 

[SirGor]

The paint chipping is just Outstanding.

Good job, my friend

Alright, so I ____ed up the headsculpt adding the varnish LOL. Little brother grabbed it and it was ____ED because it was still drying.. BUUUUT he looks even better so far, fixed a little of his helmet color, a little more green. took the pix over at "fan made fetts" for reference material,

things still to do:

add the killstripes
paint the visor
add the wookie braids lol I forgot them.
oh and paint the white parts on his earpieces.
here's my reference pic:

BEHOLD the FETT! (he's not wearing a headsculpt underneath thats why his neck is so short lol.

and a comparison of the first and second attempt, the green looks more accurate now, and the paint job is just a little cleaner all around IMO

You are the Fett master.

 

[Les Walker]

VERY nice work!!! I have had a nice old school Marmit Boba that I repainted like this years ago (which I never have shared anywhere, online or otherwise...) but seeing your's makes me want to.
Your weathering and chipping is superb! SUPERB! Some of the best of it's kind. And to go back and redo the greens, amazing! You are nailing him.
A salute you!

 

[eczamurai]

thanks so much Les, I'm a quiet admirer of your thread for a while now, so you calling my work superb means alot to me! Thanks!

A salute back at ya!

 

[eczamurai]

progress has been made, but still not quite there. but bad quality photo update anyway!

true high gloss black added on the visor, and made his battle damage even more accurate!

hope you like it, still not entirely happy with the light green earpiece, will probably redo him.

Looks fantastic, mate! I painted a 1:1 Boba helmet and know a bit how the colours and scratches etc need to look and to see this perfectly done in 1/6.. wow!

Fantastisch goed gedaan, maat!

 

[eczamurai]

dank je! I took some liberties with some scratches but most are as accurate as theyll get in this scale

 

[galactiboy]

That looks great... are you keeping the same body?

I just swapped Jango onto a Slim TrueType and it worked quite well in giving him more height and a more impressive appearance.

 

[eczamurai]

Got a slim on order

 

[eczamurai]

in the process of repainting the earpieces I;m going to replace his standard "button" on his cheek with a home made more accurate one lol. thats because I lost the one he was having since its so damn tiny, but heck my own looks better to me, will be painting it tomorrow:

also some daylight pics of the fett helmet, included pics of the back of him.

 

[eczamurai]

pics of the first jumpsuit dye attempt, will redo him and try to mix the blue with some grey, he is a little too blue for me now, but nevertheless he looks nice
