    Truly glorious! You have done some amazing work this year to be sure.

    Really like that last batch of troopers, the purple works great as an accent color as do the green visors! :artist:

    Well done! :cool:

    I distantly remember from the mists of time that you were embarking on a Star Wars Legion Episodes I-III project, and have given you a suitable like-bomb after seeing how fantastic your Clone Troopers and Battle Droids are. As a Prequels fan in particular I adore the Clone Wars Legion models, and you've certainly done them justice! In particular I like the dark green sheen on the B2s - how did you manage that? I take it Biel-Tan green wash was involved?

    Thank you for the like-bomb haha, I'm glad you approve.
    The B2s were basecoated silver, then had a coat of the Ork Flesh contrast paint thinned a bit with Contrast Medium all over. Then I edge highlighted the whole model with silver again.

    I've finished my Republic Specialists.
    IMG_20220106_144852.jpg


    First off, here's my Clone Commander. I'm very pleased with this paintjob, especially the freehand owl design. Commander Strix, ready to lead the 79th into battle.

    Next is the Clone Medic. I'm really happy with the freehand medic symbols and the little bacta tank on his backpack.

    So much awesomeness.

    You are flipping expert at painting! I love the weathering effects!

    If you don't already, I'd suggest going pro on commissions. It's that good.

    Thank you so much, very high praise :)
    Commissions are something I've considered, I just think I paint at too slow a pace for it to be worth it haha. I might potentially be doing one for a friend at some point though, they want the minis from a board game painted.

    People pay for quality and if it's good enough they'd wait.

    Just saying.

    Excellent! Love the basing as always (really sells the look of them being on an alien world) and that hologram!

    I finished painting my Separatist Specialists this weekend.

    IMG_20220116_215110.jpg


    First we have the T-series Tactical Droid:

    Next is the Viper Recon Droid. I really like the look of this lil guy:

    Here's the EV-series Medical Droid. I tried to paint the vials to look like glass, semi successful in my opinion.

    IMG_20220116_212216.jpg IMG_20220116_212441.jpg IMG_20220116_212522.jpg

    And lastly the little PK-series Worker Droid:

    IMG_20220116_211113.jpg IMG_20220116_211224.jpg IMG_20220116_211359.jpg IMG_20220116_211505.jpg

    Next I'm going to try and work on some more Temple Guard, probably the command.
