Andy Moore Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 So, my second build of Finemold's 1/72 Slave 1 is now finished. This kit is actually the Jango Fett version but I've painted it here in the original Boba Fett colours. The two kits are essentialy the same anyway, with just a few detail differences between the two. I made a few modifications to the kit to bring this one closer to Boba's ship, and also incorporated some of the details that have shown up in the ship's appearence in the Mandalorian. This build turned out a little more accurate than my old one, mainly because I paid closer attention to matching more of the subtle but distinctive paint and weathering aspects of the studio model. I can't imagine that I'll be doing one of these again any time soon, unless someone sees fit to re-release the kit, so it's been fun to get the chance to revisit the kit which I originally built back in 2014. The full build can be found here And finally, the old and new ones parked side by side. 2021 on the left, 2014 on the right Thanks for looking Andy 45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondrome Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Final result is great 👍👍! As good as the original movie prop. Whoever designed this ship back in the day was great too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Sensational! Putting them both side by side like that demonstrates just how much control you have over the final weathering and chipping. The wear patterns and colours and tones and stains etc are almost identical between the two models. My own approach to weathering is much more hit and miss. This shows just how much I have to learn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm very curious to see what Revell are going to give us with that one. Hopefully something halfway decent, and preferably not pre-painted.
