Glen10k Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Gillman Productions of the US 1:4 scale bust of the Star Wars villain Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin sculpted by the talented Jeff Yagher. Tarkin, portrayed by Peter Cushing, first appears in Star Wars episode IV: A New Hope (1977) as the high ranking Grand Moff of the Empire in charge of the imperial battle station the Death Star and along with Darth Vader is attempting to recover the stolen plans of the mighty battle station and crush the rebellion against imperial rule. Tarkin perishes at the end of the film when the Death Star is destroyed by Luke Skywalker. Tarkins character makes a number of subsequent appearances in both live action prequels and animated series. A young Tarkin makes a cameo appearance in Revenge of the sith (2005) and a CGI version is portrayed in Rogue One (2016) where the ending of the film is the event that leads into the beginning of the first 1977 Star Wars movie. More of his back story is revealed in the animated series The Clone Wars, Rebels and The Bad Batch. Tarkin is modelled here as he appears in the original 1977 film and is finished mainly in oil paints over acrylics. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Tura Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Great painting, especially wrinkles! In 1:4 scale, with the base, that must be about 50cm? Anyway, Love it, Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the model itself I really like the base design The base is lovely and based on the towers on the Death Star, it was a great piece to paint, plenty of detail to bring out. Preshaded with black then oversprayed with various shades of grey a few washes and light drybrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
