merseajohn's Luke and Yoda

[JohnSimmons]

Well here's the next project guys. We're still waiting for the little one to arrive so this build may take an abrubt halt for obvious reasons lol. But in the mean time when I have a half hour to spare I'll crack on with it. Here's what I've done so far (sorry the pics arn't all that, I've taken them on the ipad because what little time I have available wont be wasted on getting the big camera and lighting out):



Ive done a little more but havnt taken pics yet, hope you like it. This is an area that I've had little practice on and I'm learning all the time with it ;D

That's not a bad likeness for luke. They really have some awesome miniatures in that line.

Great job so far. Are you going to have a dioramic base for it?

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks guys,

Are you going to have a dioramic base for it?

Well I may add some pigments, mud effects and some Armour Farm products, but I want to try and keep it subtle.
Another small update, got Luke's hair done:


Also the arms and yodas hands:

And of course the main man himself:

Paints used have been mainly Vallejo but some Citedal paints and washes have come in handy
I've got the backpack done and the straps but I'll take some pics of that hopefully this weekend. Also there's been minor tweaks to all the parts that are shown above.

Looks excellent. How's the fit on this kit?

Thanks guys, the fit is very good all though I have had to bend the legs ever so slightly to allow them to fit in the holes in the base.
