Star Wars Revisited

[elscorpio]

Hello fellow modelers !

Some time ago (2015) i built the Stormtrooper and C3pO 1/16 Bandai. In those days i dind t had the knowledge or courage to try to do a base or some weathering on these models...Last couple of weeks i decided to do the R2D2 that i had in my stash and i was decided to make a small base for it...the ideia stucked in my head and i decided to take the models from the shelf and do a little rework on them...

They went from



to














this



to
















I think a bit of justice been made to this great models from Bandai...

Thank you

The Stormtrooper looks great but I have to say, c3po and R2, are just so cool!

(All three tho quality and skill wise are out of this world!)

Excellent work - the bases have really made a huge improvement

[elscorpio]

Thank you all!

Bandai are doing a great job with the star wars license ! They deserved a nice little base!

[Twokidsnosleep]

...and you did those bases up really nicely indeed!!!
Good job, love both sets

As an aside, I always thought Stormtrooper boots look like nurses shoes.....they need more manly shoes Mr Lucus, err Disney

Really nice work on both bases mate. Subtle weathering on the figures too.

I reckon the trooper is pointing at a bunch of recalcitrant Ewoks while R2 and 3PO are just about have the argument that sees 3PO kick the little fella!

WOW! Awesome little vignettes!

This is a fantastic post on how a small base and a bit of subtle weathering can totally change the outcome.
You've really nailed it!!!

Thank you all !!

Indeed I was imagining the trooper on Return o the Jedi and the robots on New Hope.

This is a fantastic post on how a small base and a bit of subtle weathering can totally change the outcome.
You've really nailed it!!!

Its also a way to see what almost 3 years of “experiments” and some learning can do...from weathering to photograph...

These were so cool in 1977 and still are today.

Lovely finish, great bases
