Whofan Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I'm not entirely sure about these, whether they belong in figures, or SF and real space. Given Star Wars is SF, I plumped for this . As a change from planes - well planes, a ship or two, a few AFV's and a motorbike, I found these charming little kits at Telford last year. Along with the two R2 D2 minions, I also picked up a golfer minion (RFI in figure modelling) and thought I'd try my hand at a figure jobbie, thinking - it's resin - a few parts what could go wrong? Ummmmmmmmmm ................. when I'd finished, I realised quite a lot! The actual painting turned out to be a bit of a 'mare, as they say. I've realised my fingers, a brush, and advancing years aren't quite the best combo to paint straight lines for a start! I was going to use one for practice, and then the second would be the "best" version ... how wrong could I be? They're both as bad as the other!🙄 I also hit on the idea of a little display, and found myself using two R2 D2's and a cunning pun, loosely based on the scene on Tattooine where R2 D2 is trundling along the path just before the Jawas find him. I found it great fun putting it together, and I think I learnt a lot about figure painting in small scale!

The Chief Smeg Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 This is the first time I’ve seen any of these little fellas painted - they look really good. I’m really struggling not to buy a couple myself now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 they look great - I nearly bought one of these at Telford for the Mrs to have a crack at. Ootinie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) I like the humour and the execution on display here. As R2 himself might say: "Wripple, Bleep-Bleep. Klip, Tootle!" Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. Edited June 24, 2019 by spruecutter96 Correcting a typo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
