It took around nine months (I think?), but I finally finished my bandai Stormtrooper model. The engineering on this guy is amazing. The aticulation is some of the best I’ve ever seen on a 6 inch action figure. The build was very easy thanks to the high quality of the kit, but painting him took forever. He was molded in an appropriately glossy white but it was too cool/blueish for my taste and still had a very toy-like plastic look, so I painted the whole thing by hand. And painting this much gloss white acrylic with brushes turned out to be much more challenging than I imagined. But I finally finished him yesterday! I used a lot of reference photos and screenshots to try and replicate the actual wear and tear seen on screen in SW’77. I’m very pleased with how he came out. I wish I had a better camera than my phone and iPad though.
