I've been picking up loose figures and ships at car boots as and when I can find them at even a remotely sensible price. Says a lot about how things have changed in that in the last 3 years I've amassed 9 loose figures, a Rebel Transporter and a Snowspeeder. That's it.
Anyway, my last find was this Luke FB. He's a bit of a mess in that he has got a flattened nose and slight paint loss to his head from resting on a hot surface, I reckon. I wanted some opinions on his legs, if anyone has one to share. I'm a bit surprised he made is past quality control, as his legs are rough. As you can see, there appears to have been way too much paint. One of his foot holes is completely filled over. In particular, I wanted to know if it's usual for the bottom of his tunic to be painted? I'm sure as a kid mine was white underneath rather than coloured the same as his legs?
The paint used appears to be the standard stuff, just way too thick. Pretty darned sure it's not repainted.
