Medi Boba headsculpt full repaint 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!

Will be doing his visor and posting daylight pics tomorrow, hopefully!

Just for fun, here is my previous Medicom touch up, look at the difference in detail. I'm actually proud of myself lol! Was so scary taking off all that paint.. not to mention risky!

Finished the chest armor, very pleased with it!:

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

hope you like it!

Man, you've really got this weathering down to a tee now, very, very impressive. So realistic, it's amazing!

 

[eczamurai]

D'OH, finished up his headsculpt, also did his shoulder and knee armor, and now my camera is busted No pics till I get a proper camera lol.

He looks great though!

 

[Artoo]

I can visualize him now, looks awesome!

Can't wait to see him, your rework has got me ready to get cracking on my own.

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.

 

[eczamurai]

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

 

[the dude person]

wow...

that looks amazing! I'm trying to resist shelling out $200 for a Medi Fett, but it's getting harder and harder each day...

 

[Artoo]

Fantastic!

 

[unsung hero]

That is awesome, it really makes it tempting to pick up a Medi Fett. Very, very nice.
