WIP : Bandai Stormtrooper Pt. 3

Most of the details on the helmet are available as decals so I went ahead and added them and then brushed Future over them. Weathering is next and I decided to put the whole figure together and go from there. After that I’ll add a base of some sort. I already have a pose in …...

WIP : Bandai Stormtrooper Pt. 2

No, not quite the Ewok village but yes, Ewoks are a savage bunch. Do not f**k with them. Anyway, painting stage involves a base of black primer. Then I sprayed US Grey so the top layer of Dead White doesn’t need to be too thick to look ‘white’. I also tried to get the upper …...

WIP : Bandai Stormtrooper Pt. 1

Time for a more relaxed build after the F-86 I think. As far as I know, Bandai has never had bad fitting kits, this one is no exception. The neck is a bit loose and I messed up slightly on the right shoulder pad so now it falls off easily but all in all, very …...

WIP : 1/48 Bandai Snowspeeder Pt. 2

The interior of the cockpit was simply sprayed Black Grey and then given a light drybrush of Light Grey. Bandai includes decals that covers most of the interior but I decided against using them. After masking the inside of the canopy, painting begins with a black base of A&K Black Primer. I was concurrently painting …...

WIP : 1/48 Bandai Snowspeeder Pt. 1

The plan is to learn weathering with this build as Star Wars vehicles frankly don’t look very good pristine (the prequels nonewithstanding). I took the opportunity to get more practice with the pilots, which won’t be all that visible, especially Dack the rear gunner. In any case, these come with decals for the helmets which...

WIP : Games Workshop Space Marine Pt. 3

The box comes with a set of decals with a ton of choices of markings. I decided to go with an arrow on the right shoulder and the Ultramarines insignia on the left. To prep for them I brushed on some Future. Meantime, I painted the Purity Seal with Transparent Red on top of Foundation …...

WIP : Games Workshop Space Marine Pt. 2

I decided to depict a Space Marine from the Ultramarines chapter which means an overall blue color scheme. Painting begins with a black undercoat. I’m using AK Interactive Black Primer for this. Then it’s spraying Vallejo Foundation White on the areas where logically would be the brightest. It’s also here that I fixed...
