Andy Moore Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 This is BC-44, otherwise known as 'Blue' for fairly obvious reasons. It's another re-paint of Bandai's C-3P0, and the idea for it came about while I was working on Boris. I'd given him some fetching blue leg stripes, and I though a droid done entirely in blue would look interesting. I got the kit just after christmas, and the plating has been stripped off for a few months, but I've only just got around to painting him. Actually, I say him, but I'd thought of making Blue a female protocol. There isn't actually any difference in the body panels, so he/she could go either way. At the moment Blue is err... undecided. Boris has been making some advances though, and he doesn't seem to be that picky one way or the other Thanks for looking Andy 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picard Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Your tonal variations, and wonderful weathering, chips and bumps are just fantastic sir. Yet another very humble wow and blimey from over here again. Another brilliant master class Andy, and a fabulous final group picture for the album. Nice one. Btw, does Nigel get any R&R time off at all? He seems to be a very busy chap indeed?He,he, Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Su-bloody-perb! The patina on the metals the finish on the paint and the weathering in general is all excellent. Love the icy blue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 "Master Luke, I found an old friend from the factory". Love it. the colour gives a whole new aspect to the droid. Not to mention the weathering adding history and, yes, life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
