So I have been on a kick painting the 1/72 figures to kick start some diorama ideas.
Plus I want to push myself to get better at painting such small figures.
It's hard to work so small and still get nice shading/highlighting and details
I picked up the JPG 1/72 tatooine diorama and am planning on doing at the very least a "flat" of the sandcrawler to go behind it. I may one day build the whole thing, but for now at the very least it will be a flat similar to how model railroaders have just one side of a buiding against the backdrops. At any rate, here are the figures. The Jawas and C3-PO are micromachines. The R2 is Fine Molds, the R5 is Bandai and the rest are from the JPG set. It's amazing the world of difference in quality between the Bandai droid (molded in details) and Fine Molds (no actual detail, all flat surfaces with the stickers giving the panel lines).
Getting all the markings on the R1 series droid. The thin lines were hard to get straight. They don't look as sloppy in person compared to zooming in
Next up is the Bounty Hunters. Someday Hopefully I can find the others in 1/72, or at least close to it( i.e. micromahcine scale)
I'd love to do a little diorama of the bridge scene
So Fine Molds Boba Fett and Bandai Darth Vader and Micromachine Bossk
and some rebels/resistance
Although the light was not great and the shadows make Leia eyebrows look like Eugene Levy. I might have to define the eyelids more and make the eyebrows thinner
It's the two Bandai pilots, and the Fine Molds one. The one holding the helmet. He reminded me of Red Leader so I painted him to hopefully resemble him
And some odds and end Imperials
- - - Updated - - -
Oh, and a much kinder group shot where the lighting shows off the colors better and are more representative of what you see in person
And the display shelf for now
