Painting Boba Fett - Star Wars Legion
Flicks and Chips
The next stage was to selectively add Lead Belcher chips to the sponged on weathering, especially the trade mark dent in his helmet. For this I used a very small brush. The idea being to leave a little of the Rhinox around the silver chip.
The helmet itself seemed to have escaped the worst of the sponging so I carefully repeated the previous step, applying a little Rhinox Hide across his face plate with a small piece of sponge before adding some silver chipping.
I didn’t want to spend too long on highlights but I did apply a fresh coat of the original colours to the red, yellow and green (using the earlier mix), wherever I felt a highlight was required. I also reapplied Light Grey around his torso and collar as the jacket that his armour is attached to tends to appear lighter than the boiler suit.
Finally the textured base was given a fairly strong dry brush with GW Screaming Skull.
