Andy Moore Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 First finished build for 2017, this is Bandai's 1/12 K-2SO from Rogue One. Even if you haven't seen it yet, it's not really giving much away to say he pretty much steals the film. In many ways he's even better than 3P0 and R2. Bandai's kit is for the most part as good as all their previous releases, although the plastic is quite soft which makes cleaning up the sprue gates (which aren't as well hidden as some of the earlier kits) a little harder. I tried to mach the weathering to the real K2 as much as possible, using hairspray chipping and various washes to build up the grime on his plating. The base is a rough representation of the Jedha landscape. Full build here Thanks for looking Andy 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Lovely work as always. The first shot captures his character really well, and your lighting match with the desert is great too. Cheers, Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Wow looks great Andy, so much detail to take in. Really love the scratches, and the dusty feet on the base are very nicely done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0ver Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Phenomenal as always Andy. Love the base and the dusty feet really do sell it. K2 looks straight out of the movie too. Doesn't get much better than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air-to-Air Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Excellent work. You really understand the tired / worn nature of Lucas' universe. Looking forward to the next couple of builds (TIE Striker, C3PO) as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanised Dwarf Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Andy you constantly amaze and inspire! He looks fantastic and the base just adds the perfect finishing touch to him. Very well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albymoore Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 There is a 97.6% chance that this is the best model of K-2SO I have seen yet. Alright, 100% chance. This is some absolutely stellar work, Andy. Cheers, Albert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Another work of art Andy. In some respects I think he looks a little like an Egyptian Mummy brought to life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelbarnes Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Just WoW!!!! Andy. Simply Stunning. This kit has just arrived at the Post Office and I wanted to jump into it, but I think I will take my time to get it to a better standard than the box offers. I will follow your build for tips and hints. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Sinclair Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 You didn't add Jyn's backpack dropped to the ground? Good call about K2 stealing the show. Him and BB8 are fantastic additions to the universe. Congrats Andy. You're off to a terrific start this year! -matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy, you made a daydream come true for me. When I came back from cinema I checked all the Bandai stuff on Amazon again and had a K-2SO in mind exactly the way you did it. I love it and will shamelessly copy it as soon as I can! With backpack of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 a superb model and the first I've seen of this kit - making it one to remember. I wish my hands were that close to my knees, it would make pulling my socks up so much easier... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
