Caij Vanda Blaster – Jedi Survivor
Caij Vanda Blaster as seen in Jedi Survivor
This blaster was an absolute blast (pun intended) to build. Not only is this a super cool model design, this was going to the incredibly talented Verona Blue. Verona is the voice of Caij Vanda in the Jedi Survivor game. She has also been in hits such as Bosch and the hit V/H/S/99.
Caij Vanda was a Nautolan who resided on the planet Koboh. She presented herself as a former bounty hunter, and gave Cal Kestis information on Haxion Brood bounty hunters and also sold him various upgrades and blaster parts. The bounty on Kestis’ head grew with each elimination. Once they were all eliminated, she revealed that she was the one who alerted the Brood to his presence on Koboh, and attempted to capture Kestis in order to cash in on the increased bounty. However, she was captured by Boba Fett, who was hunting her at the time.
All the PLA parts were sanded, resin coated and then sanded again. Thin filler primer coat to top it all off, then one final sand before color is added. The wood PLA pieces are lightly sanded and stained using an oil based wood stain.
Here is the awesome unboxing video that Verona Blue put together.
