Painting Star Wars Legion - Book of Boba Fett Style! [How I Paint Things]

[@irishtom30]

Nice to have a mini where a basic all sand base is appropriate. Thanks, Tatooine!

[@zackcook5123]

Good to see your back. That yellow looks great, makes a fantastic spot colour

[@hoteckkan]

Good to see you again! Hope you're feeling better. Your videos are such an inspiration - I think your style and explanation is so approachable and looks so good.

[@sotbs2641]

always a pleasure, Troy. I make the time to watch whatever you upload, it never fails to feel comfy

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Much obliged! I hope there's a little something different in everything that makes them useful.

[@sotbs2641]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio 100%. in fact you helped me pull the trigger on getting back into the hobby in 2018 with kill team. your GSC.. dude.. thing paintjob seemed easy enough for my decade-and-a-half rusty mitts to replicate, and I've kept in since then :) gained an easy sub that day

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

@@sotbs2641 Really glad to hear it! So long as you're enjoying it, that's the important thing.

[@Sturmensky]

Gotta second the huge help. In my case, he gave much-needed inspiration, ideas, and encouraged me to break the "rules" I thought mini painting had. Like you, I hadn't painted in about a decade and a half, and when I picked it up again, I fell into the trap of batch painting. I was utterly unsatisfied within a few months and doubtless would have stopped painting again if I hadn't seen his killteam videos. His ideas helped me overcome that - and introduced me to new mini lines that I've utterly fallen in love with. Now I'm staring at a full killteam made of Anvil Industries minis and more Frostgrave models than I can rightly use xD

[@stevepickering5978]

Boba Fett my fav Nice to see you back mate and another Brilliant paint job 😁😁👍

[@thelonepainter4760]

Awesome work! Good too see your back! 🤩🙌🏽

[@johnkelley9877]

Just watching for the painting the face is well worth it! The whole head has a realistic look to it and I never thought of using the shades on individual areas. Thanks for sharing this.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Pleasure as always, John! I was well into painting for a while before anyone showed me the trick of shading and glazing specific parts of a face to deepen certain details and shift up the skin tone a little, so while it's a rarity I go the 'extra mile' on faces on the channel, it seemed appropriate here.

[@Bluewater1976]

Hello, I hope you feel better! Best wishes! Very nice paintjob!

[@DarkWatch-Ian]

Fantastic, welcome back. Hope you are okay. Good to see you again. Kind regards Ian

[@fergusross7671]

Very rarely comment, but this has got to be one of my favourite tutorials you’ve done! I’m a big fan of Fett’s new look and this model looks ace with the care you’ve shown it. The face in particular is really beautifully done!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Glad you like him! Trying to find juuust the right combination of colours to avoid mixing for the most part was an interesting challenge for Tem's skin tone, but I think it came close enough.

[@johntailby74]

This is great. I really like these Star Wars 3D prints.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It's ace having so many options these days!

[@johntailby74]

Yeah all sorts of models. I bought a resin print of the imperial transport ship

[@meowmeowmoomoo3963]

Happy to see you back

[@goattrain]

as always, this was a really fun video! It's always cool to see a figure come alive like this

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garethcooley3675]

Boba !!!!!!! Welcome back!!!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Troy . 🐺

[@RWJP]

I really need to get myself some of that Black Grey (or Corvus Black), it looks so good every time I see you use it!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

By far one of my favourites for black cloth! Black Grey and German Grey are must-haves in a painter's arsenal.

[@ChuckThatNorris]

By far the best I’ve seen!! Have boba waiting to be painted so this is perfect. Currently painting the US Airborne with your pastel green guide Haha can’t wait for more of your Bolt Action videos. Hope you’re well

[@zenwolf1293]

Love your work, glad you're painting a lot from the Patreons I support. Should give some of "TurnBasedMinitaures" a try, would love your take on modern military units or even some of their PMC line

[@nickdavis5420]

Man love it been trying too teach my friends miniature painting using your methods!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Glad to hear it!

[@Fredeye63]

Hey you painted something black...looks great! I see you had a bit of a go around with that Reflectafractive Green

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It happens on occasion! 😜 I'd ordinarily try and skip out on highlighting black, but it isn't that painful.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Brilliant work Troy, that's a really nice figure and you've knocked it out of the park (as always...)

[@Leedguitar2]

This is awesome - especially as I had to sub to their Patreon this weekend because I MUST print and paint Boba on the Rancor!

[@pfcsantiago8852]

Nice job mate.

[@robisonwells1]

Loved this guy. Great paint job on an awesome sculpt.

[@Marshal976]

Looks great, I hope you're going well 🙂

[@swaaahtome]

Im praying you buy some Naboo Royal Guard and do a tutorial, I dont know where to start!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It might be a while - the Episode I designs didn't do much for me, admittedly. Though that sleek Naboo cruiser was something!

[@angrypantz87]

Looks great! I’m just watching The Book of Boba Fett at the moment.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I'd be curious what you think! I didn't much get on with it, but like all Star Wars it -looks- stunning.

[@angrypantz87]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio so far I feel like they had loads of ideas for things but didn’t know what to sink their teeth into. Not enough content for a series three mandalorian and just some ideas for the Boba Fett fanpeeps. I’m hoping all this prelude stuff comes with a fully fleshed out season two as I like the cast.

[@bryantichota1207]

This is great. I will need to get one.

[@BullionSmash]

Yay! 😉

[@stompieandsuzie]

Saw your Twitter mention of Axanar - did you ever watch Star Trek Continues? After getting used to the "new cast" the episodes, music, feel and storytelling is just like TOS. Great viewing, all episodes are on KZbin - much better than the current stuff!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Honestly, I've found it really hard to get past the 'new cast' aspect. It's strange, but when they've made sure that everything else is as screen accurate as possible, it only makes the difference in the cast all the more stark. I'm sure they're very well done, but I couldn't manage to sit through a whole episode - too uncanny for me!

[@davelandrytube]

Welcome back! Hope all is well with you!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Better than it has been! 😅 Cheers!

[@furiousv775]

THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR 9:12

[@Tarquin47]

Good news, there is a Boba Fett (Daimyo) expansion up for preorder for Legion so he does have rules now, so we who 3d Printed Daimyo models thinking they might never have a use are vindicated.

[@stephenrider6107]

Welcome back!

[@davidparker2724]

Glad to see you are back! Another great video. I am really tempted to give starwars models a go. Are these available to buy as a model as I don't have a 3D printer?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Check through the link in the description. The Gumroad page for SkullForge has links to a ton of licensed printers worldwide.

[@davidparker2724]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Thanks dude!!

[@terminator572]

bubba In all seriousness sir I hope you're doing fine, all the best from Mexico.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Sounds like Tem talking about him! "This bubba shouldn't talk so much."

[@alessiodecarolis]

Beautiful mini, if only these modern marvels such as 3D printers had existed when I started the hobby!☹️ P.s. did Contrast/Speed Paint blacks aren't better for imitating texture?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

They're quicker, but by painting and layering up I get a lot more control over the highlighting effect. Contrast would certainly work, though!

[@InnuendoOutTheOther]

If you're burning out on the videos maybe change it up a bit, try a new technique or pull out your airbrush? Maybe make a video about 3d printing?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I did a couple of videos on 3D printing a while back - they didn't get much traction at all. I'm honestly not sure what I could do that hasn't been covered by others already, 'about 3D printing' is a pretty wide topic.

[@InnuendoOutTheOther]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio personally, it's not so much the content but the content creator. I enjoy your videos because you come across as a cheerful, nice bloke 👍 I came across skull forge on your last video otherwise I wouldn't have know about them, I have my first lot of renegade storm troopers cooking as we speak

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Good call. Those are my favourites in the range as well. :D
