The Baron`s bodyguard.

Post by scoobydie »

In his imperial palace / mountain HQ ,The Baron always has an elite guard to fetch his biscuits , slippers etc.
Some of the lucky few who haven`t survived the crazy kamikaze missions issued to them, earned the right to constantly stand by his side.

Consists of one the legendary Steve D heads, and a Star Wars (I know but it fits the figure) Antares Draco comic book
figure. They were going cheap in Sainsburys, and I`m not one to leave discounted goods on the shelf, especially in 3 3/4
scale too!!

Why thank you :)
The armour is the original colour from the pack. I painted the helmet red and spayed it with crimson when still wet, seemed to give it a nice effect , not a perfect match but not bad for 20 mins work ;-)
Here they are if anyone is interested.............http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAR-WARS-COMIC-P ... 53dcd9934d

Was the breast plate a bit distracting?

Nice Scoob I was looking at these figures on Dave's stall thinking they would make good Red Shadows.

i thought it was a female as well. the skirt-like appearance of the cape doesn't help.
