R5-J1 for May the Fourth
I was going to paint dome rebel troopers over the weekend, but something else took that slot based on whims. So, on the morning of the 4th, I decided to dig out this Star Wars Legion* R5 unit. I wanted to use my favorite aqua blue color on this droid and so I did. But first, I did a couple of lighter grey drybrushing layers. Next, I used a darker shade of the aqua blue. Then the brighter version went on top. I chose some random other colors for little details around R5's body. Finally, a dark wash and then some touchups on the colorful parts. His base was a series of darker greys and browns with a wash on top. Then I broke out some grey pigment powder to make it a little more interesting. R5-J1 is now ready to join my slowly growing Star Wars miniatures horde. with a couple metal minis- Bombshell Minis' not Chiana from Farscape and Heresy Miniatures' Trenchcoat Ganger. with Tebic and Nightsun, perhaps R5 will be part of their crew with Sabine Wren, Chopper, and Hera Syndul...
