Well, another challenge is underway, and as luck would have it I was off today due to working an extra day last week. That gave me time to get several projects underway, but one key question bugged me, what to start with....
While
looking at the map the last few days I realized that I pretty easily
had something for pretty much every room without even hunting too hard.
One of the only rooms I was not sure what to do with was the 1980's
room, not having anything that I would view as quintessential 80's, then
I happened across some Star Wars Legion figures and Boba Fett and
realized that the best Star Wars movie came out then, exactly 1980 in
fact, The Empire Strikes back. So this entry will count as my first
foray into the AHPC Studios as well as my first of the challenge.
Time to get painting...
Painting
Boba Fett also got a figure that was sitting here primed on a painting
stick for the last 2 challenges done and out of the way. He was simply
primed black and left for the last 2 years so I started by applying a
zenithal highlight to the base coat and then started blocking in the
colours.
I tried to stick to the original colours as much as I could find and remember. I am sure I got a few things wrong, but overall I am pretty happy with the look of this guy. He is a bit rough, but I tried to leave him a little rough to get the battle worn look he has in the movies. Not sure if it worked, but he looks OK next to the rest of my Star Wars Legion figures, so that is good enough for me.
Kaiser however, does not look impressed.... Or maybe he is just curious about what all this painting is for.
Well, back to the painting table, I have many many 10mm figures that have had washes slapped onto them sitting drying and waiting to get some more paint on them....
Have fun everyone!
