So I got all my feedback from my GML yesterday and I thought I'd share with you guys. Overall not too bad, most of it is giving some pieces additional misting /weathering. A little disappointed about the helmet. I really hope I'm able to correct a lot of the colors without having to do a full repaint.
Max ROTJ Hero Boba Fett
Helmet:
Cheeks will need to be redone. They should be bluer/lighter blue then they are. See attached photos for reference
The green on the dome and lower cheeks is not dark enough. These areas need to be a Coach Green darker green. For ROTJ this usually requires a mix of greens until the shade matches reference photos.
The BHG would not accept the red on the mandibles. While I agree it should be darker such as a deep burgundy, I think they are close enough.
The Dark Greys are not pronounced enough. The grey on the helmet is such a light grey that you really don’t see them. When you look at reference photos you see layers of silver, dark grey, and so on. I think this may be one of the drawbacks of painting the helmet topically.
The silver areas need to be more defined. I circled some areas on your helmet. As you can see, the helmet in the CRL and I will also provide you some examples show the silver damage that needs to be refined. As I mentioned in a previous email the silver areas appear “blobby.” They do not appear as actual scratches. Also the silver area coming down from the dent should be more refined. Again, I think this is a drawback of not layering the paint job.
The mandibles are missing some silver in some places and again the greys are just not dark enough.
Overall the helmet should have more mistings of blacks and greys once the paint colors are adjusted.
Jetpack:
The red on the jetpack is too “red.” The reds need to be a deeper burgundy.
The red greeblies in the thrusters will also need to come out. These red greebiles haven’t been able to be located in any reference photos.
The missle should be more worn down. The red on it looks to be more like a design as opposed to it being weathered.
There needs to be more silver on the blue in the crease as you are looking at the pack on the left side.
The black part of the jetpack should be more “worn” and not plain black
The BHG pointed out to me that the beacon is apparently the wrong size. It should be a longer beacon on the ROTJ pack.
More misting of blacks/greys
Armor Plates:
More misting.
Shoulder/Knee Armor:
The knees are too yellow. They need to be weathered more with orange.
Same goes for the shoulder armor. You are more on the right track with your left shoulder.
Left Gauntlet:
As mentioned the tip of the rocket needs more weathering
It needs more misting of blacks. Not the appearance that the black is “painted” on.
Cape:
Needs to be more tattered and torn. Look at CRL photo for reference
Flight Suit:
It needs to be weathered more. It appears to be mostly weathered with browns. Need to add some blacks. Especially down near ankles
Gloves:
The index finger padding needs to be removed.
Anti Security Blade:
It appears to be brass from the photos and not silver.
Boots:
The U shaped area should be darker. On all reference photos it appears that area is much blacker then the center strip.
There needs to be more weathering on the soles.
Still reviewing everything myself and I'm thinking about what to do first.
Thank you as always for viewing!
