Han Stormtrooper Unpainted & Paint Master 4-up Hardcopies and 1:1 Prototypes (517-015)
Here is a series of prototypes from the Micro Collection line for the Han Stormtrooper figure. After the original sculpting was completed and a silicone mold was derived from it, the green unpainted 4-up hardcopy was cast from the silicone mold. This 4-up is 4x the size of the finished production figure. To the right of the unpainted 4-up is a 4-up paint master with all the paint details of the finished production figure. The figure in the middle is an unpainted metal Han Stormtrooper and very similar to the production figures. The figure to the right of the unpainted metal one is a resin squeezing, which is covered in grey primer. The figure all the way to the right is an actual scale paint master which is hand painted like the 4-up paint master.
