So here is Vader and some Stormtroopers for you all Hope you like them :)

Any tips on getting good clean eyes? Thanks!

the way I do it and I am by no means an authority is do the eyes first so paint your base colour for your face then white the eyes (it doesn't matter if there is way to much white ie dont worry about painting outside of the lines). Then paint a Vertical black line where you want the pupils. One top tip here is make them closer to the center of the face than the middle of the eye (it stops them looking boss eyed my chewie was redone because of that (I've attached the pic for reference). Then paint the face as normal and that should deliver eyes and is way more effective than trying to paint them in after.

hope this helps if not there are some really good youtube tutorials :)

Very nice NMM work on 3PO. Best I've seen.

Very nice C3PO, you may have just convinced me that going nonmetallic is the way to go with him.

Thanks guys I put a lot of hours in on him was tough work but really rewarding results really appreciate the kind words guys thanks again.

It all is awesome. Love Chewie.
