USING THE COSTUME DESIGNS TO PAINT MY STAR WARS LEGION

About the Project
When I started collecting Star Wars Legion miniatures I approached it in the same way I do historical collections. I used a very nice book of the costumes used in the films as a guide for my painting. Whats interesting is how the colours of some costumes look different on film then they do in real life and some of the details that you can easily miss. I've two starwars projects so I'm cancelling this one.

The original model used in the film
I went for a more of a grey look with some dusty sand stains.Clone Trooper Specialists
For the clone trooper specialists I looked at ARC trooper colour schemes and captain markings for the officer. Plenty of examples on line for clone rank colour schemes. I didn’t glue the heads on so I can swap them around. I wasn’t happy with contrast paints on this set and will try again.
The droids i'm looking for
I found R2 doesnt have the right amount of detail on his dome when it comes to painting compared to the film model.

Stormtrooper specialists
I have used the shoulder pauldrons to rank my minis. Orange for captains white for sergeants and black for trained troopers
Jedi Luke

Rather glossy contrast paints
Using Contrast Paints
Squad done in contrast paints. Quick but a bit messy in my opinion. I found it hard to cover mistakes especially when using a very dark colour next to white. 
Sergeant colours
Contrast paints
None contrast. I dont really see much difference.
