The Mandalorian and Friends - Shatterpoint
The Mandalorian was not nearly as difficult as he might look. At this point, I already had trained a pretty steady hand, and all the small details of his model were raised enough that a light brush-over would usually do the trick. The hardest part was actually Grogu’s pram. The way the model is constructed to make it look like it’s floating is genius, but this has been the only model I’ve needed to paint before fully assembling it.
Greef Karga (right) and IG-11 (left) were each fairly simple. After doing the 104th troopers and Wolffe, they were a welcome break!
Lord Maul and Supercommandos - Shatterpoint
Because of the dark red I used against the black, the details of these don’t show up very well on camera. Just take my word for it, Maul turned out pretty well, as did Gar Saxon (middle right).
The Supercommandos on either side are not among my favorite work, but I think they ended up just fine for what they are. Not a whole lot of eye-catching detail to them like the other two.
Ahsoka Tano and Clan Kryze - Shatterpoint
These were done near the end of my first cluster of miniatures. The details on Bo-Katan’s (middle left) helmet really forced me to learn how to use the recesses molded onto these figures.
First, fill in those recesses, then go lightly around the edges with the outside color, so that the bristles of your brush don’t get into the cracks, and only catch the outer material of the helmet. It’s second nature to me now, but the first time took many attempts.
Ahsoka took a long time, but by that point, I had picked up some of the finer detail skills, so applying them on her face and armor trimming was very rewarding.
