Dre's Painting

Since there are three of these guys, I went with 3 different colors.  Vallejo US Field Drab, US Olive Drab and Vallejo Game Night Blue.  I decided the field drab one would be the "elite" so he's wearing gloves.  All the leather bits are black, with gloss varnish brushed on.  The rank board on their chests are silver with royal blue and vermilion. The blue uniform is washed with army painter blue tone while the other two were washed with army painter military shader.  The flesh was washed with army painter flesh wash.

I spray painted these guys with Vallejo Model Scarlet To see how different they are, I washed two with Army Painter's Red Tone and two with Citadels Carroburg Crimson.  The Citadel wash when on much thicker and darker. I painted the staff dark grey and metallic silver and colored the visor slot black.  At some point I may revisit these and try to do a lens effect on the visor Varnished them with Vallejo gloss varnish.  I masked off the heads, staffs, and bases with silly putty before varnishing again with Vallejo matte varnish. Three out of the four came out really well.  I may have overmasked the staffs on some so the right shoulders are a bit gloss when they should be matte.  One ended up with some of the matte varnish peeling a bit.  Not sure what I did to cause that... maybe I applied too much?  You can see the peeling on the one on the left in this picture.

Imperial Assault: Trandoshan Hunters Working my way through the Imperial Assault core box and I got to the Trandoshans so I figured I'd do the Bossk figure along with the others. Loosely based on Sorastro's video  here is how they turned out: Bossk Collar - Vallejo Model Flat Red Vest - Vallejo White Primer Trim - Vallejo Model Dark Grey Straps - Vallejo Model French Mirage Blue Belt - Vallejo Model English Uniform Suit - Vallejo Model Middlestone Gun - Vallejo Model French Mirage Blue with English Unifrom stock Eyes - Vallejo Model Scarlet Skin - Vallejo Model Refractive Green         - Vallejo Model Lime Green         - Vallejo Model Middlestone Buckles - Vallejo Game Silver Claws - Vallejo Model English Uniform            - Dark Sand Teeth - Dark Sand dry brushed gun with Vallejo Game Silver shaded suit with Nuln Oil / Agrax Earthshade then highlighted with Middlestone shaded f...

I wanted a bit of variety on the probe droids and also wanted to experiment a bit.  I painted these all a dark grey and then dry brushed them with different metallic paints.  The grey rimmed one is silver, the red rimmed droid is copper, and the black rimmed one is gold.  Not canon but I kinda like how they turned out.  Also played around a bit with a lens effect with limited success.

I did these guys at the same time as the Stormtroopers since they share a lot of the same colors.   Drybrushed gunmetal blue on the guns.  I did the same zenithal pre-shading experiments with these.  The red rimmed base is a grey/white pre-shading while the black rimmed base is full black/grey/white.  Varnished with Vallejo gloss varnish.
