Bandai Star Wars Droids 1/12 Plamo Models – R2-D2, C-3PO, R5-D4 Leave a comment
Since Disney took over the Star Wars property, it has been a licensing free-for-all, with a massive influx of products from every manufacturer imaginable. The best toy and model products, of course, are coming from Japan. Bandai has been making some excellent new SW toys and models, including these new 1/12 scale plastic kits of some of some of the franchise’s most famous droids. The kits are masterworks of engineering, just like Bandai’s Gundam plamo lines. They are designed to be built without paint, with most parts molded in color and decals for the rest. In C-3PO’s case, the entire kit came with a vacuum-formed chrome finish. I used the kit colors, but obviously couldn’t leave them so crisp and clean. I applied the kit decals, painted the silver bits with a better metallic color (Monster Kolor!), and then hit everything with a coat of satin varnish. 3PO did not need any additional paint except for the wires, belly bit, and his palms. From there, I went to town with the weathering, showing these three after some hard times trudging through the sands of Tatooine. I’ll be posting full galleries of each this week, so check back!
Here’s an extra pic with a cameo appearance by my PRHI 3D Printed Gonk Droid!

PRHI 3D Printed TARS Commissions, 1/18 scale Leave a comment
These two TARS were commissioned by private collectors after missing out on the first fully painted release. Both requested a cleaner TARS without the weathering, so they are bright and shiny, with just natural shading instead of a lot of washes and effects. 3D printed in ABS plastic and painted with Monster Kolor.

PRHI 3D Printed TARS 1/18 Scale Toys Update Leave a comment
Sorry for the crappy photo quality, but it was late when I took this and I wanted to show off this pic of my little TARS army as I put the final touches on them. Anyone who follows me on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or Facebook (follow buttons on the left) has seen work-in-progress shots of these for a while now, but I know there are some people that just follow the site so I wanted to make sure they don’t miss out. These are a 1/18 scale version of my TARS model, 3D printed, articulated at the middle, and painted with Monster Kolor metallics. They are just about done and will be available soon in the PRHI section of the Monster Kolor Store: http://www.monsterkolorstore.com/prhi/ I’ll post up a full gallery and release details when they are ready. I’ve got a little more weathering to do, and then they’ll be ready to go.
