Jodain's SW:L Hobby Weekend
Episode 4: A New Paintscheme
As I said earlier I don’t want to use the basic blue/grey scheme seen in the movies and want something more suited to forest combat, whilst keeping block colours. So here are my proposed colours:
- AP – Army Green for trousers, jacket and helmet
- P3 – Traitor Green for undershirt
- AP – Leather Brown for boots and leather
- Panzer Aces – Flesh Base for skin
- Vallejo – Metallic Black for the body of the pistol
- Vallejo – Gunmetal for the end of the gun and to highlight the body
- AP – Military Shader to shade the greens
- AP – Strong Tone to shade everything else
- Vallejo – Silver to highlight the end of the gun
- P3 – Menoth Base to mix to create highlights for flesh and greens (potentially)
Unfortunately I don’t have 7 painting handles so this is going to be two batches of painting. For painting handles I have 2 of the GW ones and have printed 4 other from thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2751788). The downside of the thingiverse one is that it doesn’t quite fit the Legion Bases as it has adaptors for 25mm, 32mm, 40mm and 50mm, not the 27mm of the fleet troopers. Still painting starting soon.
