The ship and its stand are all finished so the last step is to paint a standing Boba Fett to have it standing next to the ship to get a sense of how big the ship is in relation to a man.
As usual the figurine is only about an inch tall and all the different parts of him had to be painted with different colours, including his jet pack. I had to mix 2 batches of different colours for the clothing as well as his armour. Unfortunately the colours didn't turn up quite as close as they did the first time I painted Boba in the seating position.
This edition of Boba Fett kit also comes with a bonus piece; Han Solo frozen in carbonite as was in The Empire Strikes Back. It is made of metal and I didn't bother giving it a coat of paint since it looks quite good just the way it is.
After the paint dried I glued Boba Fett and the frozen Han Sole on the stand right next to the ship. This should give observers an idea the size of the ship in relation to a man.
Well that's it for another project. I will keep this with all my other models in the display cabinet. Time to have a short break from scale modeling before I start on my next project; FineMolds Millennium Falcon!

You should do the Carbonite a copper colour. Like in the movie.
Silver looks unpainted [it was my immediate thought when I saw the picture]. Also, try a black wash over it after you do the copper.
