A friend of mine recently ordred a couple of FM Slave 1's from HLJ. Naturally I asked him to order on for me as well. I haven't started the actual kit yet. But I have painted the standing version of Boba. Mostly for the exercise. I'm not planning on using it with the finished model. That will be in flight mode, with boba behind his console. The small Carbon freezed Han figuge isn't going to be used. It may be used for another painting exercise later on.

You must have eyes like an eagle and a steady hand like a rock, to paint something as small as that and then getting this finish!
Looks fantastic,
only criticism I have is that it's very mixed
it's an ESB blaster with ROTJ gaunts & jetpack
It also has an ESB ammo belt & cape with PRE-PRO gloves
Awesome job though
that thing is tiny
Thanks!
I didn't care to much if the datails where correct. It was more an exercise in painting something as small as this. I will however try to get the details on the sitting pilot version correct when i build the full model.
In the fall I should get the new Seaview kit from Moebius Models. Its in 1/128. I'm unsure if there are any figures in the kit. If not, I have found some replacements that might work in 1/120. Its should be a challenge to paint something that small
