He needed a little bit of work. Total repaint with some mods. Removed the "teeth". Added a little battle damage. Made the backpack removable. I'm pretty proud of this one.

I love gradient effect on the star saber blade. That has to airbrushed, right? If you did that by hand, you have all my respect...teach me your kungfu, master!!!!
Is that gatling gun 3D printed? Looks awesome.
All in all, a good job.

Thanks. the sword is a little bit of both airbrush and hand brushing. The gun is a Kotobukiya gatling gun. it actually has a wind up motor in that spins the barrels.

I removed the pin holding it on, then glued a plastic toothpick (cut down of of course) into the hole. Removing the pin actually broke one of the tabs that was holding it in so I had to use a little fixit sculpt to hide the mistake. Since the back pack is soft, flexible plastic you just open it up to pull it off.
