Bandai 1/12 C-3PO

[Scootypuffjunior]

I just finished up the new Bandai C-3PO and it was quite a fun kit! While I wound up leaving the plating as is because the color and luster were spot on, I did do a little bit of painting. The torso section was painted with Tamiya Rubber Black (XF-85) and given a light drybrush with 502 Abteilung Faded UN Grey. I then used various Vallejo greys to pick out the wires. The back of the knee joint was painted in a similar fashion. The torso hydraulics were painted with Vallejo Liquid Metal Old Gold and VMA Steel. I also used VMA Steel to paint the hydraulics on the arms. After it was completed, I gave the entire model a gunk wash with 502 Abteilung Starship Filth oil paint. The oil drips on his chest were painted with thinned down 502 Abteilung Engine Grease oil paint.

Great looking model. Bandai seems to be putting out great Star Wars kits.
