ScootyPuffJunior Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I just finished up the new Bandai C-3PO and it was quite a fun kit! While I wound up leaving the plating as is because the color and luster were spot on, I did do a little bit of painting. The torso section was painted with Tamiya Rubber Black (XF-85) and given a light drybrush with 502 Abteilung Faded UN Grey. I then used various Vallejo greys to pick out the wires. The back of the knee joint was painted in a similar fashion. The torso hydraulics were painted with Vallejo Liquid Metal Old Gold and VMA Steel. I also used VMA Steel to paint the hydraulics on the arms. After it was completed, I gave the entire model a gunk wash with 502 Abteilung Starship Filth oil paint. The oil drips on his chest were painted with thinned down 502 Abteilung Engine Grease oil paint. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMD70 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 This looks great, and the plating is fantastic. It's just a shame about the sprue points on the shoulder pieces.. I've just finished mine off along with the R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just finished mine off along with the R2. Yeah I agree, but after I touched the spots up with some gold paint and weathered the model, you can't really tell they are there.

Madmonk Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Already ahead of you on that one Mike!! Was going to play about with the kit that arrived yesterday but managed to control myself as I need to finish the JJPrise lighting kits. Nice simple set up with 2 warm white LEDs, some mods will be needed to the kit to incorporate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
