Picked up this jewel at the LMS Wednesday. A great "little build". Curing my lost MoJo.
Used in the movie The Last Jedi.
Finished with Tamiya Neutral Grey, misted with a lighter grey. Black wash and a still lighter shade of grey for drybrushing.
An astonishing amount of detail on such a little kit.

They are great little kits aren't they? As you say, tonnes of detail and your painting and dry-brushing has brought it out very nicely
Best wishes

It looks a cracking kit and nicely painted too.
I'm not sold on the knuckle walker as a design though, and just beefy front legs would have been perfect.

I heard an in universe explanation for the 'knuckle' design, it was intended to defend/prevent use of such weapons as the Harpoon/tow cable like the Alliance used in Empire Strikes Back.JamesPerrin wrote: ↑September 12th, 2021, 5:38 pm It looks a cracking kit and nicely painted too.
