Following the strong tone dip and matt varnish, I decided to dry brush the droids fairly liberally with the Vallejo Bonewhite base colour.

I wanted to leave the dip colour in the recesses but bring back the lighter bare colour.  I left it a bit tough as I don’t want my battle droids to look too pristine.

Once that was done, I went over them with a wash of Seraphim Sepia. They have a more brown look to them now which I like, I don’t want them to be too white.

While I was doing this I had a go at repainting the guns with grey seer then Black Templar contrast paint.  I’m still playing with this trying to get the right effect, so far it isn’t going down like I had in mind.  Either it looks too translucent or too much like flat black, I’ll revisit later.

The next step will probably be to do a few highlights and get the accent colour done.
